Pregnant Pause

Bedroom & Closet, mid-morning,

"I wish I could do the lilac or sunflower yellow. It's such a bright and sunny day. I want my nails to match, but sadly, I can't. At least not right now." She thought as she headed into the store after a glance at her nails.

"Honeybear, what do you think? Hmm, How does that sound?"

Ken entered the bedroom fully dressed but came into an empty room.

Searching around, he couldn't find his love anywhere.

Heading downstairs, he rushed from one end of the lower half of the house to the other, but she was nowhere in sight.

Ken rushed back upstairs, fetching his phone, to get to the bottom of this.

Meanwhile, across town.

The fertilized lover is standing in front of the shelf full of food, indecisive, unsure of what she wants, growing tired as she stands in the aisle for almost half an hour, contemplating.

As she read over the packets of sweet foods for probably the tenth time, her phone sat at the bottom of her bag, silently ringing, vibrating all over the bottom of the shoulder bag.

Unanswered.

She cradled as much as she could into her arms and shuffled to her abandoned trolley before returning to retrieve more.

Happy with a pep in her step, she moved to the next aisle, searching for more things to buy.

She wanted to see her tram overflowing.

And still, her phone continued buzzing repeatedly without any answer, just phone call after phone call piling up in her inbox.

The sun felt as though it was kissing her skin.

She even raised her arms, raising her hands to the sky, her eyes closed as she shuffled further down the pathway, smiling to herself as she heard the flap of her flips flopping behind her as a superb park came into her eyeline.

Noting that it was somewhat abandoned, she made her way to the beautiful swing; setting herself slowly onto the seat, she slipped her feet from her sandals, allowing the air to breeze through her feet as she wiggled her toes, swinging slowly.

When her eyes opened, she felt the swing slowly as shadows covered the sun's path from touching her skin further. Huffing as they caught their breaths, the group of boys centered by her love, all gazing at her, beyond exhausted,

"Been looking for you, love."
