Open Seven month cravings

[Briar Rowan-Cullen]

It was not really the day for ice cream. the sea breeze was showing in blowing dead leaves all across the street of the harbour but that was not going to deter briar. she left the ministry for lunch and made her way down the street. her belly now at seven months noticeably large she was definitely slower in her movements. She was usually very fit and ran most days and the difficulty of movement was really beginning to frustrate her. not much longer she told herself. as she drew closer to the ice cream shop. just over two months left she assured herself. the other thing that was going to be hard was the next two transformations. the next full moon was a week away and she had to go to the hospital this afternoon to pick up the wolfsbane she and Dederick needed and to have her next check-up. but for now, her priority was what was sitting in the shop who she was just entering.
a few minutes later she left with a cone of strawberry and lemon ice creams. she didn't walk far and stopped at a bench overlooking the waters of the harbour. sweet was never something she liked but ever since she had first been pregnant with willow she had found sweet was what she wanted in pregnancy. as soon as she had taken the first mouthful she felt the baby move inside her as if it was as happy as she was to be eating icecream.
