Chapter 70

Months later . . .

The craving for chocolate hit her hard. Ooey, gooey, melt-in-her-mouth goodness. Rubbing her rounded belly, Thea rose from the couch and headed to the kitchen, but just like poor Old Mother Hubbard's, her cupboards were bare. The silly children's rhyme made her smile as she perused the shelves. Saltine crackers, cans of soup, some stale cereal. No chocolate. I guess I should have done some grocery shopping before coming home from work.

A rumble, loud in the closed-in kitchen, made her gasp then giggle. "Aren't you the demanding one?" she said with a smile in the direction of her midsection. "Your daddy still isn't home from work, though. I guess we'll have to wait and hope he's willing to go back out and get us a treat." Another grumble answered her. "I know. I know. I want some chocolate, too."
