Write a ficlette based on the word: beautiful.
She had been working at her desk in the old Principal's office; when she first felt something. Oh she'd noticed in the past month her clothing was starting to get tight and that blasted morning sickness had ended sometime before that. But this was different.
At the time all she could think about was how much she hated paper work. Ever since The Alliance had been formed, she found herself swamped with the horrid stuff... when it happened.
Her nub of a pencil dropped to the desk with a clatter as her hands few to her stomach. She'd felt it.
It moved... in that moment, everything became real to her. An ugly world became beautiful. Her decision to keep her child became even more right, right then.
For the first time she allowed herself to have real hope.
