The surest cure to stress

Since they would take a break soon for their wedding and honeymoon, Desmond and Zaria were busier in the next several days. At the next monthly board meeting, Zaria couldn't hold her head up for more than half an hour before she sleepily rubbed her eyes. She was becoming lazier by the day and she was only in her second trimester.

"The two of you are overdue for a break." Lucy remarked when the meeting was over and it was only she, Natalie, Desmond and Zaria left. "Natalie and I will take care of Preston and Fort Group while you're gone."

"You would do that?" Zaria emotionally glanced at Lucy then Natalie.

"Of course I would. What are friends for?" Natalie hugged her, chuckling when the latter looked like she had been saved from a life or death kind of emergency. Pregnancy was making her much more emotional than usual, and they had all been the prime witnesses of her endless affection.
