Hello again!
This piece marks the beginning of a "section" of drabbles I wrote in which I challenged myself to write a coherent story in EXACTLY 100 words. Needless to say, this was much more difficult than I had expected, but I hope you enjoy the results anyway.
This first 100-word drabble was written for my friend yourpeetaisshowing from his single-word prompt of "McDonald's."

"Katniss, I could probably make you something much healthier for you and the baby," Peeta said in an attempt to reason with his wife.
"I can't help it if the baby wants chicken McNuggets and French fries," she shot back, rubbing a hand over her growing stomach. "Besides, I'm sure it'll just be this one time, Peeta."
Closing his eyes and taking a slow breath, Peeta walked over to pick up his car keys. "Right," he muttered to himself, "because it's just like the last three times I had to run to McDonald's for the baby."
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
I know these 100-word drabbles are going to be very quick reads, so I might consider posting more than one at a time. If you have suggestions for posting, please let me know in a review. Thank you!
