A Standalone, Short Romantic Comedy

Getting pulled over for speeding—especially as fast as I was going—is anyone's nightmare. And desperate to get out of a speeding ticket that might not only get my license revoked, get me sent to jail, or get my car impounded, I lie.

I tell the biggest lie my brain can conjure up.

I tell the officer that my pregnant wife is in labor and panicking, and I'm rushing to get to her side. Mind you, I'm single—can't even remember the last time I had a girlfriend—and I sure as hell don't have a baby on the way.

The officer—not believing me—followed me to the hospital where I hope and pray I can find someone willing to let me use them to stay out of trouble.

When I find a pregnant woman alone and clearly in pain, will she help me, or will she laugh in my face and tell the officer to arrest me?
