Like Water For Chocolate: Chapter 9

Recipe of the chapter: Three Kings Day bread/ Hot chocolate
Setting: Ranch
Characters: Tita, Pedro, Rosaura, Esperanza, Ghost Elena, Gertrudis and her troop, the Loboses

We have a lot of new things happen in this chapter. At the end of the last chapter, we got Tita and Pedro making love. Afterward, Tita's convinced she's pregnant.  Mama Elena is also continually bothering Tita, trying to guilt her about her pregnancy. She tells Tita her baby is cursed. This is pretty hypocritical but I mean that's never stopped her. Rosaura's health is getting to be awful? She's gaining weight and she doesn't smell real great. She goes to Tita for help, who tells her to chew mint leaves and gargle a mixture. Pedro is avoiding Rosaura and it isn't helping her. Oh! Gertrudis is back! She's brought her troop with her too. She's highly respected and a General now!
The bedspread wasn't mentioned in this chapter.
