Last Saturday in August so this is the last Saturday Centus for August! Jenny tossed out a weird one today. I am late but finally had a little something that came to me while fixing lunch.

Had to Know
Today was the day. It would be a test, one her friend warned her against trying. Jerrod wasn’t ready for a baby, but Mallory’s biological clock was running out. Jerrod had every reason in the book for not starting a family while he promised he would someday. Was he faking his true feelings? Mallory had to know.
That evening she met Jerrod at the door, looking chipper, and with a chilled glass of red wine in her hand.
Surprise! I’m pregnant!
Jerrod’s expression turned to stone. Resentment charged through his eyes, anger rumpled his lips, Mallory’s answer was written all over his face.

Better now than later. She is one smart woman. But he did tell her in advance, didn't he! Good writing, Claudia.
great post Too bad he flunked the test but she probably should not have tricked him like that
OMG, Not going to turn out good for dear ole Mallory. Yikes
But other than that. Great Job.!
At least she knows ... and the consequences of knowing are much better than that of not knowing.
You went down the same route as me. The cad! I'm sure there are lots of women who have had these situations to cope with.

Oh dear. He flunked big-time. But she seems a little shady herself...
;)
Excellent job !
Knowing he wasn't ready and yet going ahead in stealth without telling him ? Great way to corner a man, but not to keep him !!!
I agree with Judie. What a dipwad! Adios and Good riddance too!~Ames
Knowing is good...much better than later...excellent writing!
She may have tested him too soon! Maybe a year later, the reaction would have been the polar opposite. Her trickery may have just blown up in her face. (Just a thought).
Namaste..........cj
Clever girl! I'd like to know his reaction when he finds out she scammed him.
Oh, I'm so mad at Jerrod! Good thing she found out about his attitude now. Good centus. laurie @ Battling My Inner Critic

This was so well-written...and very, very believable. Not that I've personally experienced anything almost exactly like that...ahem...ahem...
