Four weeks ago
Millie had ignored every other sign her body had thrown at her. A missed period was the first sign, but she had put it off as a late period and carried on. She had read somewhere that stress could be the cause of such things and she was a card carrying member of the stressed out and burned out club; badge and all. The throwing up and general weakness, constant peeing and endless hunger she ignored too.
Millie was and had always been careful about things like that, there was no way on God's green earth that she could be pregnant. She took her pills and used protection, always. And she hadn't had sex in a while.
What about that night? Her subconscious was roaring at her.

She was twenty three, maybe a little too young to be throwing her life into upheaval like this, but she wanted this baby. She touched her still flat stomach with a smile. She couldn't wait.
