Epilogue 3:
By the time Nyrissa made it down to breakfast, the occasional tightening of her stomach was starting to become a little painful. But the worst part was the knot that seemed to have formed in the lower part of her back. Nyrissa waddled her way into the kitchen, then winced and rubbed her back, trying to ease the muscles.
“Still sore, baby?” Ryan asked as he moved to help her into her chair.
Nyrissa nodded. “I thought the hot shower would help. But it hasn’t.”
“Let me take you back up to bed to rest. I’ll bring you whatever you want for breakfast,” Ryan tried to bribe her.
Nyrissa grimaced. Now that the pain had started, her hunger had vanished, and nothing sounded good anymore.
“I’ll go up as soon as I see Natalie off to school. I don’t want her to think I forgot about her,” Nyrissa finally relented.
