The Pregnant Woman

The pregnant woman turns with a force strong enough to knock her glasses from the top of her head back down to the front of her face. She tries to stare disapprovingly at the young woman, but latter doesn't lift her head.

"... bitch," the pregnant woman says to no one. After taking a sip from her glass, she takes the glasses off completely and drops them on the bar. There's a pain in her stomach as the baby kicks, but realizing that the rest of the bar is probably looking at her for calling someone a bitch, she stifles the urge to jump and rub her belly, and instead tries to take another sip. It's not until she nearly has the glass at her mouth that she notices it's empty. She takes a look over her shoulder at no one in particular, to make sure no one is watching. Without looking at the bar, she pulls an unlabeled bottle out and fills her glass.

The old man next to her continues to eat peanuts using his Halloween toy as his hand. Because of the stiff plastic fingers on the hand, he holds the peanut baggie right below his face. Over the top of it he gives her a very mixed look. There are elements of concern, scorn, confusion, lewdness, and more.

She works up her most hostile stare, and makes what she hopes is a scornful snort. It sounds a little like a stifled sneeze. He slowly opens his mouth and asks...

A) What'cha drinkin'?
B) Pour me one?
C) That for you or the thing in your belly?
