"Are you all right?" I asked as I peeled an orange for us to share.

Vivian chuckled. "Why do you ask? We're at the hospital now, so I must be all right!"

"Have you forgotten what tomorrow is?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

"Tomorrow?" she asked, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Yes!" I replied, my eyes wide.

"Oh!" she exclaimed. "Is tomorrow the day... we...?"

"Yes," I nodded, quietly

"Wow, so tomorrow the day that we are supposed to have sexual intercourse. Don't worry, I never forgot about that" She winked.

I sighed. "You don't have to do it," I whispered, handing an orange to Vivian. She took it from me, but slowly and hesitantly.

"Why not?" she asked, a slight chuckle in her voice. "You already told your family and the elders. Besides, if we don't go through with it, they'll definitely talk."

"Before I went to the convenience store downstairs, I went to speak to the doctor," I said. "He told me that you weren't actually sick."

"What happened to me, then?" she asked, squeezing the orange into her mouth.

"It's one of the symptoms of your pregnancy," I replied. She choked on the orange and began to cough uncontrollably.

"Vivian!" I exclaimed, jumping to my feet. "Are you all right?"

She shook her head, then tapped her chest as she continued to cough.

"Stand up!" I told her, and she did so slowly, still hacking and coughing.

I pushed the chair aside and pulled her into a tight hug, my arms wrapped around her waist. I started to pat her on the back, and two orange seeds popped out of her mouth.

"I'm fine now," she said, gently tapping me on the arm. I released her and turned to face her. Her face was red and sweaty, and she was breathing quickly.

I handed her the water bottle, and she took a long drink, downing half of it in one go.

She let out a sigh and handed the bottle back to me. I capped it and set it aside.

"Are you alright now?" I asked, staring at her face.

She looked at me, a smile playing on her lips. "I'm okay now," she said.

"I'm fine now, you don't have to worry" She replied.

"You should have taken it easy while drinking that orange," I said, my tone a little harder than I had intended. "You really scared me."

She bowed her head and looked up at me. "I'm sorry. I was just so surprised by what you said."

"What did I say?" I asked, my forehead furrowed.

"That my symptoms were a result of my pregnancy," she replied.

"Of course, that's only to be expected at four months pregnant," I said, flashing her a smile. "I'm glad you're all right."

She nodded, letting out a deep breath. "That was so close - it almost went down my throat and into my nose!" she said, her voice hushed. She reached for the orange again, but I grabbed it away from her before she could get it.

She glared at me, a pout forming on her lips.
