As the months moved on, Miera discovered that she and Joaquin were going to have a baby! Thankfully, a lot of her job could be done from home, so a child would not hamper her ability to continue working.
Joaquin came over every day, spending as many nights as he could with her as she grew plump and ungainly, and even tended her plants sometimes to give her a break.
Occasionally, in the place of office work they had Miera go out and talk to people, try to get their attention, collect petition signatures, donations, and the like. It was tiring, but in a thoroughly more enjoyable way than her old-constant-construction-work kind of tired.
Here, she was working for others, not just herself; she was doing something good, and big!

I know, right? It looks like something you would use on an enemy, or something that a kid would mix up in a flower pot in the yard and their parents have to pretend to eat…
She often stayed at work late to help pass out flyers, draw up schedules, anything she could do she did. Most of the time she got home with barely enough light to check on her garden before bed.
While she had first used the easel out of necessity, she now missed having time to paint out her thoughts whenever she wanted. The job was good to her though, and she had no intention of giving it up.
Still, she hoped she could find the time to make something soon.
The next morning Miera’s tummy rolled and gurgled. Ugh. Maybe she had too much tea? How much was too much?
She whipped up a few remedies for upset stomach, and felt better in time for work.

Thanks! I wanted to make sure I at least didn’t skip over anything that specified; different shapes might be considered making it easier, you know?
To those of you who have tried the Tiny Living Challenge, does the house have to be a square? As long as it meets the 25-tiles-indoors requirement, would it be okay if it were a rectangle, or a hexagon, or some other goofy polygon?
When my Homeless challenge is done, I’m thinking about trying the T-L-C, and wasn’t sure about that part. I’m asking on the official thread too, but it doesn’t hurt to get multiple opinions…
She was terrified the whole time, and rightfully so- her singing was terrible! She kept waiting for Gavin or another host to yank her off stage with a comically long cane. But Joaquin thought she did great, and that was all that mattered to her.
They went back to her place, and finished off their sakura tea in private.
She bought a souvenir t-shirt, and then Joaquin invited her to try out the new karaoke machine inside before they left.
“I’ve never used this before, how does it work?” Miera scrunched up her nose nervously.
“Oh it’s easy,” Gavin smiled at her. “You pick the song that you want, and the words come up on this monitor for you to follow along.”
To celebrate her new job, Joaquin took her out to the Romance Festival, where (for once) she didn’t even glance at the flowers, much less debate stealing them. They were having a great time, dancing, drinking tea, chatting, when she got a text. From Caleb?
NOW, after everything, now he wanted to be romantic with her? She ignored the message and turned back to the conversation at hand.
“Haha, thanks I guess!”
