Many weeks and several months have passed by and Jenna's tummy is getting bigger. She put on a lot of weight, she's getting fat. Some women who are pregnant keep themselves thin by not eating or just eating to sustain their body's needs not the baby's needs. But this a planned pregnancy unlike the others. Besides the parents, the in-laws, the whole clan are expecting a newborn for the whole clan to enjoy and cherish. So the feeding continues obviously.  Jenna feeds the unborn child with so much food. The elders, the young ones noticed how she gobbled up so much food and this time she was craving on young fresh coconut meat. The softer and tender side of the young coconut. She will throw the hard old coconut meat away from her. She's always hungry. Loren and the kids have to gather more extra food from the jungle and from the ocean to sustain their everyday meal.

One day Joseph asked, "how those food she eats everyday can fit in to her stomach?" Roar of laughter from the elders and other kids were heard. Good that Loren and Jenna didn't hear what Joseph said. They were too far away from where they at the table.

"Good for you the couple didn't hear what you said Joseph." That's very rude of you!" Olivia blurted to him in a very stern voice.

"What I'm so concern about is ..." Jameson paused for a while in deep thinking, " I haven't seen Signorina Josephine and Prof. Arthur for such a long time." They never join us at the table." Where are they?" Jameson asked again.

"Everybody looked at each other. That's right! "Why they never join us here at the table?" Mila inquired. Then she looked at Eric and Rosalee for their answer.

"Hey don't look at me like that," Eric told Mila. "I don't know what they are doing.

This time everyone were staring at Rosalee. Rosalee looked at them and said, " They are always busy." She said with a wry smile.

"Busy with what?" Mila asked again.

Rosalee quipped, " Writing!!!!" They are busy writing. I don't know what it is. It's a different language. I cannot understand."

Olivia butted in and told the kids to lay off the two kids: Rosalee and Eric,  and mind their own business. Which the young ones hinted yeah it's not their business to ask so many questions as if it's a form of interrogation or something and they apologize for their trespassing.
