Chapter Text
Kiana hunches over the toilet, dry heaves once, twice, and then the show begins.
Mei holds her hair and pats her back.
"You did this to me!" Kiana curses.
"Yes dear," Mei placates. "I'm very sorry."
Kiana spits, gets to her feet, and flushes the toilet. "No, I'm sorry."
"It's okay," Mei says.
"It's not. I'm being really unfair to you."
"I know you don't mean it. It's your hormones. I mean, women am I right?" She laughs, trying to get Kiana to laugh too.
Kiana pouts. "You're cancelled."
"Damn."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Who knew pregnancy would be so tough?"
"Literally everyone who has ever been pregnant before."
"I thought being a god would make this easier."
"I think in this context, you're simply human."
Kiana smiles. "I like that. I haven't felt fully human in a while."
Mei hands her a glass of water. "Rinse. Drink. Stomach acid is bad for your teeth and throat."
Kiana complies. "You're the best."
"Thanks."
"Of all the women who could've knocked me up, I'm glad it was you."
"Thanks?"
