Work had started to become even more of a chore than it normally was. After having been chained to a desk the moment the word "pregnant" had slipped out of her mouth a few months ago, Annalise had been rather positive that the duration of her pregnancy at the office was going to be more and more of a bore as her belly grew. After the debacle the previous week, it seemed as though the higher ups in the Ministry were rather bent on making sure that no one really knew what was going on in the off chance that another newsletter would get out or worse, making her job more boring. However, it was Friday and as she happily Apparated onto the Diagon Alley that meant she had a whole weekend of not having to worry about paperwork, filing, or trying to stay awake at her desk. She had a short list of things that she needed to acquire before going home and starting dinner and she slipped her hand into her pocket to pull that short list out to glance over. The finishing of that list had to have been the most productive thing she'd done all day. Her walking slowed only slightly when she passed in front of a baby item store, unable to keep herself from glancing over the prams and cribs through the front window with a smile on her lips. She slipped the list back into her pocket, her mind far from groceries when she took a step backward and accidentally bumped into someone behind her. "Oh, Merlin," Annalise twirled around, a hand unconsciously going to her just starting to show belly. Her eyebrows were high as she apologized, "I'm so sorry - I ought to pay more attention to where I'm going." |
