I used to know just what I wanted and just where to go

But now I walk alone and talk about it when I know

Rhine sat patiently waiting for her next class to start as she watched the kids running about. She figured she might as well eat one of her many in-between-meal snacks she needed. She fished around in her messenger bag and pulled out a zipper bag of apples and another of goldfish crackers, a granola bar and a reusable bottle filled with some sort of red-ish colored liquid. She took a sip of the liquid and scrunched up her nose in disgust. It was some water with an enhancer in it that was supposed to mimick prenatal vitamins. It tasted like cough syrup, but the doctor made it clear that due to her vegetarian diet she would need to drink it. And there was no way she was eating meat simply because she was pregnant, the mere smell of it made her sick. She took another swig out of the bottle and frowned as she swallowed it, letting out a small cough. Rhine opened the wrapper of the granola bar and nibbled on it before opening the zip-lock containing the chopped up apples and popping one into her mouth. She looked down into her notebook and flipped to a fresh page, tugging the pencil from behind her ear. She scrawled 'To-do list' in her dainty, loopy handwriting and began adding things to the list:

• Pick up Zofran prescription from pharmacy
  
• Go to Boho Baby and ask about natural wipes/cleaner/ect.
  
• Purchase Diapers & burp cloths from Wal-mart.
  
• Go to Hot Topic & look for Red Hot Chili Peppers onsies
  
• Purchase vitamins & suplements
  
• Get in touch with Mary to groom Kiedis
  
• Go purchase more Hyperion Vita-Mix
  
• Work on song; (Due 14th!!)

Rhine was basically lost in her own thoughts. She sighed softly as she laid a hand absently on her showing stomach. Her twin brother Rhett, being the future medical genius he was, had told her that he was positive she was having twins. Rhine had scowled back at and threatened to knock his brains loose like she had when they were kids. Thankfully, he had managed to not press the subject. I mean, it was kind of obvious she was showing a bit more than... well, normal people. She figured it was because she had lost so much weight due to stress before she got pregnant. She knitted her brow as she stared at the list in front of her. It was a lot of shopping considering she'd recently gone shopping with Corren. Of course he was more worried about the poor kid not having the right clothes and bedding accessories. She smirked slightly at the ridiculous thought. She figured it was either because he was dealing with stress by shopping, or that he hadn't fully grasped the fact that in five months they would be parents. Rhine slipped in her earbuds and cranked up Red Hot Chili Peppers as she finished up her lunch and disposed of her leftovers.

She walked down the hallway and people openly stared at her. It was so odd. Like people didn't know what a pregnant girl looked like. She rolled her eyes as a couple of plastics made comments about how chubby she looked. She merely turned up her music and flashed a sweet smile in their direction. Poor, lost, deluded souls that lot was. Rhine took her time heading down the hallway to her next class. After all, she needed to do all she could not to jostle her impulsive bladder. She slipped into the classroom door and sat down at one of the desks, grateful that it wasn't one of those weird attached seat-desks. And she had room for her belly to fit comfortably. She pulled out a book of Anna Akhmatova's poetry (Russian) and began to read. Her poetry was always so soothing to her and she was fairly fluent in Russian. She smiled as she read, pulling out one of her earbuds to listen for the teacher to arrive.
