The morning after the class reunion had been a tough one for Lanie. As if yesterday’s encounter with Kaitin Katastrophe hadn’t been enough, it looked like she had caught some sort of stomach bug as well. After her sudden wave of nausea last afternoon at her in-laws, the blonde had been feeling… Odd. That morning, Lanie was up with the sun as usual. She was already planning to make Ingrid pancakes to surprise her with as soon as she got up, but her body had different plans. As soon as she’d sat up, her head was spinning. Another overwhelming wave of nausea hit her, and as her darling husband slept soundly, Lanie was busy vomiting in their bathroom’s toilet.

It took her at least an hour until she felt herself strong enough to get up from the bathroom floor and slowly make her way to the kitchen. Once there, she began the preparations for her family’s breakfast while musing over her symptoms. When she stopped to really think about it, there had been some rather [i]interesting[/i] symptoms going on way before this supposed stomach bug came rolling. There had been the swollen breasts (as noticed by Roddy a few days before), the mood swings (as seen during yesterday’s event), the sensitive sense of smell (as experienced that past afternoon), the nausea (as experienced that morning)... And the missed period. 

Was it possible that maybe this ‘stomach bug’ could be more than that? Was it possible that maybe she could be...

Before her mind could even utter the word, Lanie felt hurrying footsteps approaching. She turned in the direction of the sound and found her lips moving up into a smile at the sight of her husband. The smile faded instantly as she saw the haunted look on Roddy’s handsome face.

[color=darkturquoise]“Sweetheart, are you okay?”[/color] she asked him, a worried look on her face. She cupped his bearded face with one hand.

[color=green]”Babe you need to see this”[/color]

Roddy was holding his phone. He pressed play by tapping on the screen and a video of a young man with dirty blonde hair, pale skin and red-rimmed eyes talking to a camera began playing. When her sluggish brain finally recognized the face on the screen and the voice coming out from her husband’s phone, the “World’s Best Mom” coffee mug she was holding slipped from her hand and fell to the floor. The sound of breaking china filled the kitchen, the spilled coffee making an expanding puddle that contrasted with the dark hardwood as her dark blue eyes opened wide. And just like she’d been doing since the beginning of the morning, Lanie turned around and violently vomited inside her kitchen sink.

[b]“Aaaaaaaand [i]CUT[/i]! That’s it for now, Bella. Take a few and we’ll resume soon.”[/b]

As the cleaning staff made their way to clean up the floors of the set kitchen, Lanie nodded to the director and made her way out the set. Her robe was stained with small droplets of coffee, and she left a small trail of it on her way out. Once out of the set, she was helped out of the robe and left sporting some pajamas. After all, her character had just been busy making breakfast during the scene.

[color=darkturquoise]“Excellent work, dear.”[/color] Bella called out to Jude, offering her TV husband a warm smile. [color=darkturquoise]“I can only imagine poor Roddy’s face when he starts putting two and two together.”[/color]

Still smiling, Bella turned around to give a quick look around the set. Her eyes ventured to the door and beyond it, where the crew were busy filming a scene with Emilia. The red-headed woman was running, wearing full-out gym gear. When her scene was finished, Izabella noticed that Emilia was panting. Noticing she was coming in her direction, Bella walked over to the refreshments table and picked up a water bottle.

[color=darkturquoise]“Emmy!”[/color] Bella called out, motioning for Emilia to come over. When she did, the smiling blonde handing over the water bottle. [color=darkturquoise]“Here you go, sweetheart. I figured you would be thirsty after all of that running.”[/color]
