Sorry I'm late in reading this, kev, but I'm going to try and make up for it now! ;)
If this first drabble is any indication, these are going to each be great. I really like the idea of everyone doing something nice for Angela, especially because I already get the feeling that nobody knows what the others are doing. And that's nice in its own way as well.
Great job!

Ha! Well, Pam's is really the nicest, in that it's one of the only ones that will take a chunk of time and was Pam's idea to do -- no one asked her, nor was it a spur of the moment thing like with some of them. ("Hmm...I can tell Angela where she can stick it, or I can be nice to the big pregnant woman. Tell her off...be nice. Tell her off...be nice.")
I had just finished (or was in the throes of) a big quilt project when I wrote the first chapter, so Pam became a quilter. I'm sure there are still unknown hobbies and characteristics of our characters, so I made one up here. ;)
I think this response is probably longer than the chapter, now.
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing, Cousin Mose! A million extra points for reviewing each one! :)

Before I go on...first chapter - so sweet! I'm so glad you posted these all at once!

Thanks, Sweetpea! I actually thought about just making it one chapter, with just the little headings in between people, but it turned out each drabble needed just a teeny bit of time to resonate, and hitting 'next' would give them that time. ;) But they were all ready, so I saw no need to drag it out. It's such a nice, quick read this way. Easy, like Phyllis. ;)
Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Thanks, Bros! The 'challenge' of the two week word challenge was to use the daily word prompts in some sort of theme, and this is what I managed to come up with. ;) And yes, people always want to tell pregnant women how horrible labor will be. I'm not sure why they think that's helpful.
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing! :)
