A F T E R ON E  MO N T H
"Are you ok Alexa?" Rhanzie asked worriedly.
"Maybe I just ate some food that I'm not ashamed of" I said weakly.
We left the ladies room and went to the waiting area, because the last round of the game here in France is later.
"Are you all right?" Elijah opened to us.
"Yup, I'm sorry sir, maybe my situation will affect me later" I said sadly.
"No its fine, you look pale, for now take a rest so later you'll be fine." he promised with a smile and led me to the bench.
"Come with me back to your room?" Rhanzie's nanny.
I just nodded and supported her.
"W-what is this?" She frowned when I asked when she handed me the small box.
"PT" She replied with a smile.
"H-ha? I'm not pregnant" and I laughed.
"Just try it" she smiled and patted my shoulder.
I-I'm afraid that her suspicion might be right, it can't be! It's not possible, especially since we've already freed each other.
"Okay" was my only response and I went inside.
I went to the cr and did Pt, I waited a few more minutes and the result came out as two.
I-I'm pregnant....
*knock knock*
I immediately went to the door to open the door.
"Alexa, can you assist me later? You might be dizzy." Elijah asked worriedly.
"D-Don't worry I'm fine, I can handle this" he smiled and said goodbye.
In the evening, everyone gathered again in the reception area, many ingredients were on display. There are benches for the audience, when I turned to Rhanzie, she smiled and gave me a thumbs up, so I smiled at her as well.
"SO GUYS! YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES TO CHOOSE YOUR INGREDIENTS, AFTER THAT GO HERE IN FRONT FOR THE NEXT STEP."MC said.
We went together with the partners to get ingredients. I immediately went to the meat section, got some meat, finished and got salt and pepper. MSG is not allowed, so it's your own strategy on how to make the food taste good. Mind you, only salt and pepper are allowed. The magic flavor, sauteed mix or whatever spices are not allowed.
"You're done?" Elijah asked while taking other ingredients.
It's okay because we thought of cooking it with a twist.
"IN THREE, TWO, ONE TIME IS UP!" We put our hands up and left the basket of ingredients.
"SO FOR THE TWIST OF THIS GAME, WE WILL GIVE A NUMBER IN YOUR BASKET. WE HAVE HERE A DUPLICATE NUMBER, WHICH IS YOU WILL GET THE NUMBER INSIDE OF THE BOWL. AFTER THAT, ANY NUMBER YOU GET WILL BE YOUR INGREDIENTS. SO LET'S START" loudly explained the MC.
W-what the f*dgeee! What if we draw something else? What if only a few ingredients were obtained when we pulled out,
HAIIST! GOOD LUCK.
"FOR PHILIPPINES, KINDLY GET A NUMBER IN THE BOWL." Elijah immediately stood up to draw a number.
"27!" announced the MC and handed over the basket.
Elijah came to me and showed me the contents of the basket, I frowned when I saw the stew. SIOMAI! Time to soften a cow jusmee! Then the cooking time is only 1 hour, WALANJO REALLY HMMMP!
"START!" The MC said.
I started to heat the water, we sanitized the equipment first and also "mise en place" means "Everything in place" like all the ingredients are already cut and placed in the bowls.
"Reach for the potato" Elijah said so I reached for it. The SIOMAI cow is not yet tender! that's why I put it onspoon to soften faster.
"Sheeezz! Only 30 minutes" I said in surprise while seasoning the stew.
Elijah lifted the lid and I felt like my stomach was boiling. NOT NOW PLEASE! .....
"Sir...... *ackk* "he immediately supported me to the sink and rubbed my back.
I vomited again and fainted clinging to the sink, I just gulped at what I heard and lost consciousness. I slowly opened my eyes and saw my room.
I reflected Z-Zevron? He's here? I closed my eyes again to get rid of the pain in my eyes, but when I woke up, he was gone. Maybe I'm just hallucinating. I turned to the window, I realized that it was night? Come on! How about the contest!. I immediately got up but sat down again feeling dizzy, suddenly the door opened and Rhanzie was spit out with a tray of food and water.
"Are you okay?" She asked as she placed the tray on the side table.
"My head still hurts a little, what happened in the contest?"
"Go with the flow anyway, it ended at 6pm." She replied with a smile.
"You are participating in the next round, but not in Korea, but in Canada," she added again.
"I'm sorry, I think your husband had a hard time because of me" I said sadly.
"Don't think too much, just eat this and take care of your baby and one more thing, he's not my Husband, we're just cousins" suddenly my heart jumped with a mixture of joy and nervousness.
"How did you know?" I asked in surprise while holding my stomach.
"I saw it" sge replied sparingly and said goodbye to leave because he said he had something else to do.
*AFTER NINE MONTHS*
"THE WINNER IS!......"
*DRUM ROLLS*
My hands are cold holding  Rhanzie, I'm nervous I don't know OWEMGEEEE! this is it. After all the hard works that everyone experienced, now is the day, we will know the result.
"CONGRATULATIONS PHILIPPINES!"
"WAAHHHHHHH!" Rhanzie and I jumped while Elijah went up to the stage and took the trophy, certificate and cash prize.
"A-AHHHHHHHH" I moaned as my stomach started to growl, I think I'm about to give birth.
The last thing I saw was people laughing and Elijah getting off the stage, and then my whole body went numb. When we arrived at the hospital, I was immediately laid on a stretcher and taken to the delivery room.
"AHHHHHHH!" I shouted as I felt that he was about to leave.
"Alright Mrs. Pushhhh"
"AHHHHHHHH!" And I completely lost consciousness.
"Uwahhh! Uwahhh!" I heard the baby cry, I immediately woke up.
"She's awake, give her baby" the doctor happily said and placed the baby next to me.
She is my treasure, my princess, and my everything.
I LOVE YOU DUNLEXA KIREI VANDELMORT
