Finally, Rosalyn's appetite had left her, and with it almost conversely her sides began to fill.  It was subtle - a slight rounding that anyone else could mistake as girth - but it left her with certainty.  She and Firefly's tryst had taken.

It was an odd feeling, being hungry yet nauseous at the mere thought of actually eating.  She forced herself to anyway because she knew not doing so would be worse, and so far she hadn't succumbed to sickness.  But she walked through the day with a lurking suspicion of her own body, and it was this feeling that made her less sure this whole ordeal would be worth it.  Her first test.

Berries she thought maybe she could handle if she found them.  This idea set in her mind, seeming more and more appealing, until now she hounded the trees with a single-minded purpose.  It was way too early for any sort of fruit to be ready, but she kept going anyway.  It was better than sitting there and staring at prey, waiting for it to look appetizing.
