"No worries" Coach Abby said, awkwardly attempting to hoist herself up to stand and address her team. Once on her feet she struggled to pull her grey team sweatshirt over her equally rotund belly, giving up after it failed to hide her tan linea nigra that ran through what was left of her belly button. "Great work today, team" she said, raising her voice. "You started the season off really well. If you keep this up, getting to section will be easy, and from there, with enough commitment and hard work, the National Championship should be within reach-------too." She paused to stifle a burp with her hand, the baby inside her twisting, aggravating her heartburn.
Collecting herself, she resumed. "Now while your season is just starting, my time is up. Even though today is my due date, I'm going to stick with you until my baby comes, and I'll have this baby right here on the court if that's what it takes. In my absence, assistant coaches Sara and Will will take over for me, and I'll return as soon as the doctors let me. With that said, hit the showers and we'll see you tomorrow bright and early for two-a-days."
