My Regrets: Part 2

"Susanna?" Dan had been about to leave for work when he saw his wife sitting at the table motionless. Her arms were stretched out and her head was resting on them. 

She let out a small, high-pitched groan, but stayed completely still. Dan was trying to be patient, but he had to go to work and, thanks to the night before, he had a pretty bad hangover.

 He slammed a tight fist on the table and exclaimed, " For goodness sake, woman, just tell me!"

 Susanna, shocked by his attitude, sat up, Her eyes showed fear and worry. She blinked slowly and a tear ran down her red cheek. "It's Leanne."

My Regrets: Part 1

Jade was doodling on a rectangle of yellow paper when she heard the thump outside.

She had been babysitting for the Branson's, while they were out celebrating the birth, in return for a little extra pocket money. To be honest she didn't even really need to be there. Little Leanne had fallen asleep the moment the Branson's left and it had stayed that way.

Her heart sped up a little when she heard it, not much though. She wasn't it the slightest frightened and on any other day she wouldn't have even cared, but she was bored, so her curiosity got the better of her.

"...Everything's......so......okay."

"...Baby....out....odd."

"...Nope....smooth....You're lucky Mrs. Branson."

"Huh?" Susanna hadn't been listening much. Only catching the odd word. There were only two things she was focusing on, the pain and her husband, but mostly the pain.
