In-Class Writing 9

One day I was out shopping with my wife, whom is 6 months pregnant and showing pretty well. We had been married for a year and were absolutely in love with each other so when we got the news of our little baby boy we were ecstatic. We had been out buying clothes, toys, diapers, blankets, anything for a baby pretty much. We buy a little at a time so that we do not have to spend a lot of money at once. We have been back and forth with the name and we still have not decided but we have never been so happy in our life. Anyway, we were in Babies-R-Us, down the baby toy aisle just laughing and talking about how cute these toys were. We had already picked up a really soft blanket and the car seat that we wanted and were just picking up a few little things and as soon as we were walking out of the aisle, something terrible happened. This petite woman pops up at the end of the aisle and is just staring at me. I knew exactly who it was and so did my wife, but good thing is my wife did not let it phase her because she knew I was happy and we were going to have a baby soon. The woman said, “Hi John, long time no see.” So I replied, “Hi Lori, it’s good to see you. I hope everything is going well.” She replied, “Oh, I’m doing fine, what brings you here?” She had clearly seen my wife was pregnant but I replied anyway, “Well we are having a baby here in 3 months and we are just shopping for it.” Next thing you know Karen turned and walked away really fast, you could see the hurt in her eyes. I felt really bad because 2 years ago I had broken up with her because I just did not feel the same about her and did not want to waste time when I could be finding the woman I really love.
