Who: Darcy What: Moping. And shopping, but mostly moping. Where: The shops on the island When: Thursday morning Open? Yup Rating: Lowish
Darcy didn't know why she felt the way she did. She'd only been pregnant for about two weeks and she knew that, in reality, the baby was fine-Jacob was here after all. But somehow she still couldn't shake the low, empty feeling and the guilt that she'd wished it'd be this way for the first few days. And as much as she loved Bruce and loved Jacob, she just needed to not be home for a little while. She needed to do her Christmas shopping anyway.
So she'd bundled herself in some of her old clothes, a baggier sweater and hat pulled almost to her eyes as she stole a shopping cart from one of the grocery stores and started pushing it along the street, wandering in and out of the newly stocked stores, gathering up mostly toys and anything that looked vaguely sciencey fro Jacob. She'd have Bruce check the science things later.
She still didn't know what she'd get for her...for Bruce. He was so amazing to her, did so much for her, everything she saw didn't seem like enough but she knew he'd insist that he didn't need anything if she asked. So she just kept wandering, pushing the cart and hoping she'd find something eventually, hopefully before that pulling in her gut made her want to go to bed again.
