She waits impatiently, tapping her feet, glancing and then not glancing. She sighs, shifting more, twisting blankets in her fists as she rocks back and forth on the bed.

Finally!

Confident, sexy, as she picks a box off the shelf. She sways to checkout, meeting a young girl’s wide eyes. She smirks, and with a wink, is gone.

The small woman—girl, just barely old enough—bounces across the stage. Moving, dancing, feeling the music course through her. She ignores the smoke and the smell of beer wafting about.

She flirts and listens to breathless whispers. Nodding or shaking her head, she moves. The clock ticking until she can go home to her lover, waiting impatiently.

She runs a hand over the tiny nose, smiling, and all the weariness fades away, leaving just a smiling face, relaxed and happy. Content with her life, confident in herself, and relaxed, watching the bundle sleep soundly.
