He observed a number of the pickle-things for a few moments before he spotted a nice plump one and fished it out with some tongs. Eva thought she saw the pickle-thing wiggle when he grabbed it, which alarmed her slightly. The idea of food that moved wasn’t something that was high on her list of things to experience. It occurred to her that perhaps she had made the wrong choice in terms of food. But it was too late for second thoughts now. I’m supposed to be more adventurous now, right?

Juliet walked straight to the pickle aisle while Adrian went for the ice cream freezer. When they met at the register, the cashier glanced at Juliet’s belly, then at the jar of pickles and the tub of chocolate ice cream, and simply nodded like she had seen it all before. Back in the car, Juliet opened the jar and the ice cream container right there in the passenger seat. She dipped a pickle into the ice cream, took a bite, and made a soft sound of pure satisfaction.

It's just the ice cream and it just started not long ago" "Look, mum! Pop Pickles in on. Come watch with me, Madam Morello" He leaped off her laps towards the television.
