For Jennifer the rest of the evening and the night went business as usual as Jennifer's mother continue inviting more men one after another. At some point Jennifer informed her mother Sylvia that she had paid the rent for the landlord when they’ve visited them. Sylvia acknowledged it and gave a small hug for being such a good and independent girl. Jennifer could only watch from the sidelines as her mother dragged one man to her room until leaving Jennifer to sleep in the living as she didn't have her own personal space to sleep at.
The next morning Jennifer woke up with a stretchy yawn and noticed that she wasn't wearing her usual tank top anymore. She was completely naked on top of her mattress. The filth in the house had gotten worse as Jennifer's mother was more busy at getting more dough to the table than doing anything to her hoarding problem. Jennifer was now thirteen year old girl living like a full-blown nudist in her own house. Jennifer looked down on the stomach and saw that it has been flat as a pancake all these past years. She had sacrificed her unwanted pregnancy to her current poor living condition. Jennifer didn’t know if it was a good trade or was the curse just messing with her.
Jennifer decided to surprise her mom by remaking the girl breakfast she always had seen her making. The “cowgirl” coffee with salt crackers straight out of the package. Jennifer put the the most cheapest looking coffee powder straight into the pot and stirred it with a spoon once the heat reached it’s boiling point. Jennifer then poured the watery coffee mixture into a cup through the sieve to catch the chunky bits. The salt crackers were month old but seemed to still be eatable condition.
Once everything was prepare and put on top of a plastic heavily used cutting board acting as serving tray. The moment Jennifer opened the master bedroom door she was greeted with her naked snoring mother with extra large belly full of stretch marks. Jennifer almost dropped the serving tray on to the floor once she saw her mother’s massive belly. The belly was double the size of normal pregnancy which made Jennifer let out an anxious noise. This could only mean one thing. The curse had given Jennifer’s part of the pregnancy to her twenty four year old mother who was going to be mother for two more children.
Sylvia let out an audible groan and yawn as she saw Jennifer standing next to her bed. Sylvia thanked Jennifer for the coffee and the crackers and asked if Jennifer was able to go to the gas station to pick up some things. Jennifer understood that it wasn’t a request from her mother but a gentle demand since she couldn’t physically move that much. Jennifer sat on the same bed with her mother and Sylvia explained to her daughter that grandma was going to move away. This meant that Jennifer had to take care of her siblings once they were out of her mother’s stomach and share a role as a caretaker for them.
Sylvia expressed how she was sorry that Jennifer had to grow up quicker than she expected. Sylvia let out a wheezing cough in the middle of her sentence. The pregnancy was draining her mother dry as she must have continued to offer her services despite being so heavily pregnant. Jennifer sat there and looked into the corner of the master bedroom thinking what she was going to do next.
