She checked her cellphone for today’s date and saw that it was Saturday. It was as if that her wish being granted made it so that her whole baby experience never happened. She looked at the gemstone on her nightstand and held in her hand.
“What should I do with you?” she asked. No way she wanted to throw it away, someone could find it.
As she was wondering what to do with it, she heard that door open and in came her mother.
“Jennifer, I heard you were shouting so I wanted to see…” said her mother before seeing that dark spot on her pants, “Jennifer! Look at your pants!”
“What?” she asked before looking down. She then remembered that she peed herself when she thought that she was still in diapers. She felt embarrassed having her mother see her like this.
“Don’t be ashamed, Jennifer,” said Melissa, “It’s just an accident. Go get yourself changed while I go get something from the store.”
“Okay, mom,” Jennifer replied.
