Sue was a natural sufferer. She was always worried about things that could go wrong in her life, and getting pregnant only made it worse. She became completely crazy, paranoid, even. She would control everything she ate, touched or smelled. She would go to the doctor at least once a week, twice sometimes, thrice the worst weeks. It didn't mater he had told her everything was okay. She made him run all the possible tests twice. If she didn't like any of his answers she would go seek other counseling. She ended up quitting her job just to have enough time to go to the doctors, and weeks before her due date she demanded to be admitted at the hospital.
When the time arrived, she had been in the hospital for a month, and five nurses had already asked not to work in her room. The delivery was perfect, even if the mother was hysterical. When she heard the baby crying, Sue started to cry too.
-Is he okay?
-Yes, he's a perfectly healthy baby, only...
-Only what?- she said recovering all her strength.
-His skin is green.- said the doctor showing Sue her pea-green son.
