Beyond the Divorce

Lauren pushed Ivanna jokingly, "Are you jealous too?"

Ivanna tossed the orange peel she held into the trash can with a 'smack,' then patted her belly and said, "How can I not be jealous? Same procedure, same effort, same work, yet how come she can have two, and we can only have one? Something's not right with the force here."

Her expression was hilarious, causing Lauren and me to burst into laughter.

After a while, Lauren said to Ivanna while covering her belly, "Oh my goodness, why are you so unrestrained? Pay attention to your prenatal education!"

"Prenatal education? When my son is born, I'll have to educate him well. He is a self-centered guy who is unwilling to come together and share a little.

"Shouldn't he pick up another sibling on the way? He won't be lonely, and I'll suffer less. Otherwise, I have to endure another nine months of pregnancy if I am planning another sibling for him."

Ivanna spoke confidently, but we laughed so hard that Lauren and I were practically out of breath.
