Bertha was folding freshly washed clothes of Theodora and keeping the piles in the wardrobe. While Theodora sat combing her long chestnut brown hair while her eyes remained on her swollen belly.
She couldn't stop admiring it and staring at her belly. She was excited to welcome her child into this world where she would spoil it with all the love she had.
"Bertha" She called, turning to face the maid.
"Yes, My Lady? Do you need anything?"
Theodora nodded her head. "I... I want to eat something tangy. I am craving it!" She made an innocent pout which brought a smile to the maid's face.
"It's natural to have such cravings during the pregnancy, my lady. Don't worry! I will get some berries for you. Would you like anything sweet with it?
I can prepare your favourite cheesecake if you-" Bertha's sentence remained incomplete as angry loud knocks rumbled on the door.
