Two Months Later

Two months later, 

Anastasia stared at her reflection in the mirror before her. She checked her cheeks, a scowl on her face as she rubbed them against her palm. 

"I've gotten fat," she mumbled under her breath. 

As if not satisfied, she stood up from the bench and stared at her reflection, turning around so she could see every angle right. 

"I've gained weight."

Her shoulders dropped in disappointment as she found her way to the bench, studying her face one more time. 

"Ana, are you ready to go shopping?" Tracie questioned as she gave two knocks on the door before entering. 

Kael followed behind her as they entered the room while Xavier was the last, dressed in his usual stay-at-home clothes. 

"Why the long face? Do you feel any kind of discomfort?" Kael asked her, rushing to her side. 

She releases a sharp breath. "Isn't it obvious? I've gotten fat!" She bellowed.
