It's a dark thing.

Maybe an animal.

and take it out of the room.

So, what was going on in there?

all the negative energies

that had...Manifested

themselves in your body.

And you had a strong reaction

towards it.

You don't have to do that.

- I can do that.

- Oh, thank god.

I have to do something.

I'm bored.

- Well..

So, how is my baby today?
