She had returned to her typing, and charting when he had texted back. She was hoping he'd have advice for her, but instead she had gotten a joke. Her lip curled into a sneer. Usually, she'd laugh at such a joke, but at that moment she had a bunch of children, and infant deaths, and missings filling a screen.
"Poor timing," she said to herself. Her father, who was still in a video call with her, and assisting by softly playing a guitar, looked towards her.
"You'll be okay," he said with a small smile.
"You'll get your help."
After he said that, her phone began to buzz.
Incoming Transmission it read. Her throat ached when she saw it was from Yew.
"I gotta go dad! I love you!" She didn't want her father to hear their conversation. He was already worried about her enough. Once his call was gone, she immediately accepted Yew's call, and was greeted by his pink, transparent figure. She gave him a weak smile.
"Here to help with the baby?" She didnt know why she was joking. She was probably trying to take his attention away from her messy bun, clean face, lazy attire that consisted of a large t-shirt that was many sizes too big.
“You rang, beautiful?” Oh, she did not feel beautiful at all. She was certain her eyes were growing redder by the minute the more she tried not to cry. She shook her head, strands of hair falling from her bun, and over her face. She closed her eyes, trying to block the tears.
"I didn't think it would be this much," she said with a quivering voice.
