Emotional Mess

"Here hon, let me help you with that." Nick said as he took a bag of groceries from Jackie.

"Thanks Nicky."

The bag that Nick took was so heavy the groceries tore a hole in the bottom of it and groceries nearly hit the floor but luckily Nick caught them.

"Who's the idiot checker that didn't double bag this?" Nick mumbled.

"That would be your wife, I went through the self checkout line." Jackie responded.

"Sorry." Nick said immediately.

"Listen, don't irritate me Nicky, they didn't have the type of candy I wanted for the project I'm going to do with my students and instead of getting a tad irritated and simply going to another store I lost it and started bawling in the middle of the damn grocery store."

Jackie was now 12 weeks pregnant and everything was going great, the baby was growing right on schedule and Jackie hadn't had any morning sickness at all, her only real symptoms of pregnancy was a slightly growing stomach and her fragile emotional state, she'd cry at the drop of a hat, over really stupid and insignificant things, and now that school had started again she unfortunately couldn't stay home and be emotional, at least she had wonderful students who were normally very behaved and it was a small class of only 18 kids, her smallest so far.

Jasmine, Houston, and Johnna loved school too. Jasmine, the big second grader got the teacher she really wanted, Mrs. Tully, Houston got Mrs. Anderson, much to Jasmine's dismay, she wanted him to get Miss Masters for a first grade teacher because that is who she had but luckily Houston adores Mrs. Anderson just like Jackie knew he would and Johnna was having a complete blast in kindergarten, her teacher is Miss Pauley, the same teacher Houston had in kindergarten and just like Houston did, Johnna loves her.

After Nick helped Jackie put the groceries away he grabbed his truck keys.

"Where are you going?" Jackie asked.

"To the store to get the candy you wanted." He answered with a smile.

Grateful tears welled in Jackie's eyes.

"The poor thing is a mess." Nick thought to himself as he left the house.

If Jackie's emotions kept messing with her it might very well be a long pregnancy.

The End!
