Widow's Shield

Diner

Ana walks in the cafe a little outside of town and sat in a booth, ordered a cheeseburger and coke, then smiled at the two year old on the other table.

Ana stood up to greet the woman in sweats, "Hey you."

The woman lowered her glasses and revealing her green eyes. "This better be good, Rogers!"

"I just wanted to know how you were doing?" Ana asked.

"Ana, I'm 32 years old, pregnant, and I'm forced to live with my parents." Morgan snapped. She sat down, "How bout you?"

"You know? Dad's being super overprotective, Mom's… well, Mom…" Ana shakes her head.

"We really need to fix this." Morgan looks at Ana.

"Yeah," Ana nodded, "easy enough…"

"Sure," Morgan sighs, "All Uncle Steve…"

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! My dad did not do anything wrong… Uncle Tony was the one who called me a 'slut' mg dad was just defending me…"

"Well, that's exactly what my dad did!"

"No, what your dad did was blame me for your pregnancy, when I had nothing to do with it."

Emotions were running high; both women was glaring at each other.

"I don't have time for this!" Morgan growled, throwing the money on the table, then storming out.

Ana stood up feeling the anger subside and pity rise.
