That’s crazy to think about

Ein to cry

“Ma’am, are you okay?” a worker calls out

“Fine,” my voice is thick with tears “Hormones,” I explain

This has been happening a lot lately, at random times too Like yesterday, I cried because Xander clapped at so on TV and it scared me

He felt awful

I felt like an idiot

I take a few deep breaths and e to calm myself “I’m sorry,” I say to the worker

She smiles and holds out a tissue to me “It happens more than you’d think”

I take the tissue gratefully “Thanks” I dry my eyes

“Can I help you find anything?” she asks

I shakeuntil we know if it’s a boy or a girl”

“When are you due?” She smiles kindly, not at all bothered by my sniffles

“February twentieth”

“Well, we’ll see you soon then”
