She hated it when she had a day away from working and yet Robin had to go in. It became slightly boring on her own, and there was little she could do to push away the boredom. She read books, mostly. Especially with the baby she had found herself reading books about the subject. She wasn't told much about it growing up and she felt that she had to know if she was going to go through with it. This way she would know what was the norm for pregnancies and what she should be concerned about. But there were only so many times in a day she could read a book on pregnancy. Putting the current one back, she tilted her head when she saw another book she had bought. Gwen had said it had good cooking ideas in it that were fairly simple and Marian didn't see the harm in it.

Picking up the book, she flicked through it until something caught her eye. Something that looked easy to make and now she saw the picture she really felt a craving for it. Standing, she moved to the kitchen and looked to see if she had all the things she would need to make the cake. She'd been given icing sugar from Gwen a few weeks ago that she hadn't opened; Gwen had said it tasted amazing with or without the cake and Marian was going to trust her on that. Everything else was there too and after following the instructions she soon found herself leaning against the counter top as she whisked the mixture in a bowl, her eyes reading over what else she had to do.
