I was shown to a room and couldn't help but look everywhere as I went in. It was bigger and more beautiful than any room I'd ever been in. I walked around the room and found a small room off to the side, already set up with the basics for a nursery. I stopped in the doorway, unable to speak. I was really going to be able to keep my son with me...

"You can take a look around, Micah said if something wasn't to your liking he'd have it taken care of as soon as possible."

"Of course it's to my liking. I've never seen a room so beautiful," I said softly. "I just can't... I didn't... I didn't actually think... I'd get to keep my son."

I went into the room and set her stuff down on the bed "You'll be treated properly just like he promised, I've never known him to go back on his word and I've known him a long time now."

I nodded. "I believe you. I'm just... I'm a little overwhelmed. That's all," I said and sat down on the bed, missing Radley more than ever right now.

"I can imagine...you hungry?" I asked her, not really knowing what else to say. "I know you were sick earlier but I thought maybe you could hold something down now."

I nodded. "I am. I'm... starving actually."

"What would you like, then?"

"Anything is fine. I'm really not picky."

"Alright. If you could have any meal in the whole world...what would it be?"

I looked at him and smiled a little. "I don't know... why?"

"Because whatever you want the kitchen can prepare it for you."

"Anything?" I asked and he nodded. "Well... could I have some roast beef? And potatoes? And some rolls?"

"Do you like gravy too?" I asked her, and smiled some.

"I... I've never had gravy. I haven't even had roast beef in years."

"Really? Well, you have to get the gravy then." I said and went over to a telephone by her bed "You can call the kitchen from your room, I'll do it this time." I told her and picked up the phone, dialing the kitchen. "See? Easy as that." I said as I hung up the phone after ordering her food.

I smiled. "Thank you. Can I call anytime? Or is it just at certain times? I just... sometimes I get hungry in the middle of the night," I said and blushed just a little.

"You can call anytime you want. The directory is right here beside of the phone."

I nodded. "Okay. That's... that's really great, thank you."

"You're welcome. Anything you else you need?" I asked her.

I shook my head. "No. Not really."

"Your dinner shouldn't be long, I'm sure if you ask you can get something for your stomach too."

"I'll be okay. I've made it this long without nausea medication. Mostly because we... couldn't really afford it. Speaking of medicine, will I be able to go down to District 3 to see my same doctor? Or... how is that gonna work? I have to have access to a doctor, I only have a few weeks left before I have my baby," I said, putting my hand over my stomach.

"I'm not sure, you'll have to ask Micah about that."
