Morning Sickness
Hillary POV
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and when I tried to, I realized that I had a pounding headache and I was so tired that I could feel my head aching so badly as if I was being hit by a hammer. Stretching to the other side, I landed on Loukas’s chest.
“You aren’t tired after what we did last night?” Loukas winked at me and wrapped his left hand around me. ” You still want me?”
I smiled, forgetting that I had a headache. “I am very sore and I don’t think I am ready to have any more sex,” I stretched my hands and tried to stand up from the bed, but Loukas grabbed my hand and I fell into his chest again. “Loukas!” I shouted his name. “What are you doing?” I chuckled as he kissed my forehead. “You…”He kissed me before I could say anything else.
“I don’t want you to leave my arms.”
“But we need to prepare for therapy,” I argued. ” You and I need to prepare for the therapy, Loukas, and although you are getting better, you still need to work out so your hand can be moveable and you will be able to move your legs with no support.”
” As long as you are in my arms, Hillary, I don’t care, ” he winked yet again and kissed my forehead. “I don’t feel like doing any therapy today. I just want to… ” I slapped his hands as I tried to get up. ” What’s happening?”
“I… ” I rubbed my forehead as another wave of pain hit my forehead and I suddenly felt the need to throw up. I was nauseated and I wondered why I was like that. “I need to.” I held my breath as I felt the bile in my throat. “I need to, ” I covered my mouth.
“What’s going on?” Loukas asked, sounding concerned about what was happening to me. “Are you okay?” He asked me, and I nodded in response.
I yelled, yanked his hand away from mine, and dashed into the restroom. I threw up into the faucet, and it didn’t stop as more liquid escaped from my throat. I scratched my throat and heaved a sigh. “What is happening to me?” I asked myself as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. “I…” I turned on the tap and rinsed my mouth. I placed my hand on the sink and heaved a sigh. My eyes had bags under them because I didn’t sleep well all night thanks to Loukas, who had me in his arms all night. I had no idea why I was throwing up because the last time I checked, I didn’t show any sign of being sick the night before. I touched my forehead and realized that my temperature was normal. My body was either hot or cold.
“Are you okay in there?” Loukas shouted from the bedroom.
I washed my face yet again, ignoring Loukas’s call. ” Hillary!” He shouted my name yet again. I knew that if he had the chance, he would find his way into the bathroom. I ignored him yet again and placed my hand on my chest. That was when I noticed how heavy my breasts were.
“Don’t think about it!” I slapped my left cheek. It wasn’t even possible because Loukas told me that he couldn’t procreate. “Don’t think about it!” I heaved a sigh and walked out of the bathroom, removing the dirty thought from my head.
There was no way it could have happened.
“I can’t have children!” Loukas’s voice resounded in my head, and as I stood at the entrance of the bathroom, my eyes met his and I could see the worry written clearly on his face.
“Are you doing this because I can’t walk?” Loukas frowned at me and I didn’t say anything and just stared at him, wondering what our children would look like.
If only we could have had one together, that was my thought and I didn’t see it as a bad idea.
“Hillary!” Loukas shouted my name. “Are you acting like this because you know that I can’t walk to the bathroom to meet you?”
” Loukas,” I whispered his name as I headed toward him. When I reached his side, I hugged him. “Loukas, ” I sniffled.
Loukas cleared his throat and rubbed my hair. “Are you okay?” He asked me “Why are you acting like this?”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I didn’t know why I was acting like that, but I just wanted to be in Loukas’s arms, and it made me so emotional that the tears continued to stream down my face. “I am…” I hugged him tighter. “I just want to be in your arms.”
“Now you are acting weird,” Loukas continued rubbing my hair. ” You are acting as if you have lost your best toy!”
That sounded funny, and it made me laugh. I let go of Loukas and stared into his face. ” We should probably prepare for therapy this morning.”
“Prepared for the morning? I thought we promised to be together without leaving the bed. Why are you acting weird? ”
” No reason.” I shook my head in response. Placing my hand on his face, I smiled at him. “You need to exercise so you will be okay in the few months to come. You made a promise to your family and now is the time to fulfill it! ”
Just as Loukas was about to reply to me, his phone rang by his bedside. ” You should pick your call!” I stood up from beside him and picked up his phone that was lying on the desk beside his bed. “It’s Rotimi!” I informed him.
“Ignore his call, “Loukas frowned and motioned for me to come over to his side.
“Rotimi may be calling for a reason,” I ignored Loukas and answered the phone.”Hello Rotimi,” I greeted cheerfully, forgetting that I was moody a while ago.
” Always calling anytime I am with you ..” Loukas tutted. ” I’ll punch him soon,” Loukas threatened, and I laughed in response to his bickering.
“Loukas is making me laugh,” I told Rotimi on the phone, and he started laughing too. “You want me to give him the phone?” I turned to face Loukas and handed him the phone.
Loukas hesitated for a few seconds before picking up the phone. “Hello,” he greeted.
