Most of you know the rules to for Saturday Centus, but in case you don't, click on the button on my sidebar to learn about it and read the creative entries. There you will also find links to Jenny's other blogs. Here is my contribution for this week:
“Surprise. I’m pregnant!”
These words rang out as my daughter Mallory popped in my kitchen door.
My heart caught in my throat. Pregnant? She knew she was not supposed to get pregnant, so if this were a joke, it was a poorly thought-out one.
“But, Sweetie......”
“No buts! I have a baby growing inside me, so don’t ruin it for me.”
“But...”
“I said no buts! All I’ve ever known for sure is that I want to be a mother. Now I’m gonna be one.”
“Well, I'm pregnant, too. Who’s going to take you to chemo while I’m home with morning sickness?”
