Okay, so I've been very sick and my brain can't come up with an update to my story. So, I'm going to try something different. Each day I'm going to use a random word and come up with a short story. It could be between 100-500 words.

Some words will be completely unrelated. Some could be a continuance of previous words.

If anyone has any words that they would like to see used, leave them in the comment section.

Today's word is: Late

Alex looked at the calender on her phone and sighed. She had counted the days since her last cycle three times and three times it had led her to the same conclusion. She was late. And not just a little late. She was late, late. In fact, if she was correct, she was over two months late. Nearly three months.

So, she put her phone in her purse and quickly scribbled a note to her partner:

Gone to the store. Be back soon.

Alex

She was gone and back in less than ten minutes. So quickly that she saw the note was still in the same place she had placed it before she left.

She took the note and threw it in the trash. Then, she took her newly acquired purchase to the bathroom. She smiled when she saw Bobby still asleep in the bed that they had shared for the last six months. He was always able to sleep through anything. Normally, she was able to do the same. Today was different however. Today, she could only think about one thing. And the one thing was that she was late.

She shut the door to the bathroom quietly and opened the box. She read the instructions and performed the test. Then she waited. The next five minutes were the longest five minutes of her life.

She looked at the timer on her phone and saw that the five minutes were up. She took a deep breath and looked at the test. It was then that she knew why she was late. She was going to have a baby and she knew that she would have to tell him sooner or later.

So, she walked out to their bedroom and climbed into bed beside him. She shook his shoulder gently and he smiled when he looked up at her. She took a deep breath and then she whispered, "Bobby, I'm late.."
