E/O Challenge: late

Word Count: 100

Warnings/Spoilers: I guess...so...hm? No, seriously, I think its okay!

Etc.: My husband posted this for me previously, as I was without internet access for a week. I recited it to him over the phone, bless his little heart. It was two words over...and yes, since I am OCD, I had to come back and fix it. Thanks for your understanding!


I'm Late

"I'm late." Mary's mouth was twisted into a half-grin as she attempted to hide her amusement. John looked confused.

"Late -," suddenly understanding, he grabbed and swung her around the room.

"A brother for Dean?" John's voice was exultant.

"- or a sister!" Mary retorted. John stopped and looked at her, her blonde hair, her bright eyes, her bemused expression. He kissed her, suddenly, roughly, overcome with emotion.

Mary kissed him back, but something deep and dark twisted in her stomach. The lingering thought of a promise made long ago, that one day, she knew she was bound to fulfill.
