I'm not hungry.

Nikolai is a wonderful husband, but now he is also a father.

You've been married for years, and you've never even thought about having children. More precisely, until you noticed the change. You have had headaches and dizziness due to fluctuations in hormone levels after ovulation. It reached mild, pre-fainting states.

Then the test.. Two stripes, but there were no thoughts of abortion. Neither you nor Nikolai, but why not? You knew it would happen sooner or later. You are financially stable, you have a place to live, a stable job, too, and you both love children.

Nikolai was even more pleased than you. In a split second, you saw a thousand compliments, cheers, obscenities, and the final one: "I'M GOING TO BE A FATHER!!"

But he didn't know yet that he was going to suffer no less than you, for example, now.

Even mornings. Earlier in the morning. You are already in your second month, you already have a small tummy. And taste preferences have also changed, for example, now you really want herring with beer. Of course, you can't drink alcohol, so non-alcoholic beer would be just right.

*You turned to your husband, and how ashamed you were to ask him about it.. But you wanted to. Of course, it was difficult to wake Nikolai up, but when he finally woke up and you expressed your wishes to him, he was taken aback."

"A herring? With beer?.. Damn.. Wait a minute.."

He sleepily crawled out of bed and went into the kitchen. Of course, during marriage with a Russian man, Non-alcoholic and regular beer is always available in the refrigerator.

A couple of minutes later he came with a herring and a non-alcoholic beer. While you were eating contentedly and offered it to him, he took a step back. As if it were a weapon against him.

"No, no.. I'm not hungry."
