Drabble 14:
John found her crying at her dressing table.
"Victoria, what's wrong?"
She rose, falling into his arms, holding him tight.
"John, I was...very late. I was sick. I was so sure! That's why I spoke with you about it yesterday. To see if you'd changed your mind, to see if you would want the baby."
His eyes widened, finally understanding, but she continued, "This morning, I found that I was wrong. I was just very late."
She sobbed as he hugged her.
Turning her face upward, he said, "And now that you know for sure, you're disappointed?"
A whisper: "Yes."
