Karyn's mom answered the door. Jon immediatley thought something wasn't right, she looked slightly different than normal, though he couldn't quite place what, for a second he thought she looked taller, though he'd never paid that much attention to her height.
He was so lost in thought he failed to notice she had greeted him with a "Hi Jen", when she said hello again Jon snapped out of it. "Karyn's just in the shower, I'm sure she won't be long, why don't you come in, I'm sure you want to take a load off your feet".
"Thanks Mrs B", he said as they wandered into the kitchen where Karyn's mom resumed making herself some breakfast. Jon assumed she must have thought he was ill or something as all her questions seemed to be about how he was feeling, he told her about his nausea and vommiting "Oh yes, it used to affect me like that too, for a month or so I could barely keep anything down, lots of smaller meals, that's the best way". Jon looked a bit puzzled, what was she going on about. Though he was soon to realise that as the conversation continued.
He shrugged his shoulders a little, something seemed to be digging into them and itching his back a little.
"Are you hungry, can I get you anything to eat?" she asked.
Jon thought about it "This might sound weird but I'd really like some cornflakes with mayonase on them" he said thinking it would sound stupid, but for some reason that's what he craved.
"Not at all dear, I was like that too in my first trimester, strange cravings. Plus the moodswings, crying over nothing one minute and happy the next. You've already got the morning sickness pretty bad from what I hear and judging by the way you're fidgeting and your bra bothering you I'd say you've got a little tenderness in your breasts".
"Ermm....., yes sure feels weird being pregnant", Jon replied, thinking she was taking the joke about him wearing a womens maternity t-shirt a little far, but then Karyn's mom did like a good joke.
He heard a door open upstairs, Karyn must be out the bathroom he thought to himself. Good cause I'm bursting for a leak.
He scatched at his chest, which did feel a little tender. Then when he realised that he had taken the maternity t-shirt off and just had a plain one, the nausea came back and a flood of tears and emotion.
"Gotta go pee", he said to Karyn's mum heading to the bathroom as fast as he could...........
