Doesn't look like there is a crack. I know my insurance company will fix cracks/chips less than the size of a dollar bill for free. You can check that out or just buy a fix a windshield kit for $10

Clean out the shards with a push pin and see how deep it is. If its deep go with TLdude's advice if not well thats you. I would rather fix this small problem before it becomes a bigger one but thats just me.
