My Short Short Story for the Day



“We’re almost there honey.”  He said pushing the panic back down.  Now was not the time to lose it.
She smiled at him admiring his self control.  She hadn’t been sure how he would behave when the time came but he was doing great.  Her stomach tightened again and she breathed through the contraction.  Not much longer, she thought.  The excitement bubbled up inside her.  It was just over 9 months and she was more than ready to meet her little girl.  The pregnancy had been a lot easier than she had expected and the labor wasn’t too bad…so far.  She knew there was pain to come but she wasn’t nervous.  Whatever happened, she knew she would deal with it.  In such a short time her life was going to change completely and forever.  And to her continued amazement, she was absolutely thrilled about it. 

“Here we are.  You okay?”  He asked taking her arm to help her out of the van.
“Yes, we’re going to be fine.”  She said patting her belly.
