Warning- This does not follow the storyline in Madam Secretary fully. Henry works for the White House already. Daisy also is pregnant further along in the story as I wanted to keep her pregnancy in my storyline. Rated M for sexual scenes and possible language.
Summary- She has been feeling ill for a few days, nausea, sickness, tiredness. What happens when the Secretary of State unexpectedly falls pregnant? Will she be able to keep it a secret or will people find out before she's ready to announce it?
Short introduction chapter.
The sound of the alarm clocked bleeped as it hit 6AM, the warm spring sun filtered through the thick curtains allowing enough light in to light the room but not irritated them as the couple slowly opened their eyes, facing one another as smiles danced across their faces.
"Good morning." Henrys deep, sleep filled voice mumbled to his gorgeous wife laying across from him, the most beautiful smile reaching eye to eye crinkling her face slightly as she admired her husband.
"Mmm, good morning." Elizabeth repeated to Henry her own voice still laced with sleep. They loved these small moments when it was just them two, with her busy work they were difficult to come by but it just made the ones they had even more special. Where it was just them, and the whole world outside their house and family didn't exist. Just the tone of their voice, the words they spoke, the looks they gave to one another and the gentle touches. They all showed the love that bloomed between the couple who had been married for over 20 years, 20 years and there was still an amazing spark between them. Their love still as fresh and pure from the very first moments they fell in love. It was defiant that these two would never tire of each other, they were and always would be destined for each other.
They both jumped at the sound of an angry alarm clock reminding the Secretary of State she needed to get ready for work. Elizabeth let out a small laugh which was followed by a slightly disappointed sigh. "I have to get up." She climbed out of bed and turned around to sort out the bed sheet on her side as Henry shuffled forward grabbing her hand in the process.
"Stay, please? Five more minutes." Her husband tried to negotiate, but Bess simply shook her head sadly and went to carry on sorting the bed sheet.
"No, I can't be late. I have an early meeting and then I'm straight to the White House. I haven't got time to lay in bed." She sighed once again at thought of being able to take one day to relax without another world issue to solve. But unfortunately that wasn't the case. "As much as I would like to. Honestly, I have been falling asleep… a lot… at my desk recently." Elizabeth stretched, covering her mouth with one of her hands as she yawned.
"You should take a day off, you need sleep. I'm sure they can give you one day. You have a strong and perfectly capable team and if they need anything-"
"Which they will." The blonde cut in, knowing what Henry was going to say. She knew for a fact if she took the day off work she would still get so many calls that she might as well be at work. "Honestly Henry I'm fine." Elizabeth tried to reassure, but Henry was having none of it. He could see right through her, and this tiredness was not the only thing he had noticed recently.
"I don't think you are as 'fine' as you say you are." Elizabeth shot back around, turning to face him. A questioning look plastered across her features. "Look, you got sick the other day because of porridge. You are never squeamish or being sick over that kind of thing. You are constantly tired, you have been complaining about your bladder, needing to pee every five minutes. " He paused a moment, allowing her to process the information. Henry was right, she had changed a lot the last few weeks, her body had changed a lot. "I think you need to see a doctor get some tests done-"
He stopped talking as he watched her walk toward a cupboard and take a small box out. Capturing some of the writing and easily and accurately coming to a conclusion. "You can't be serious?"
"Everything you mentioned, leads to this. And if it's not I will go to the doctor, and it's best to rule out anything." Elizabeth walked toward the bathroom to take the test. "I will come back to the bedroom when I have taken it so we can find out together." She shouted loud enough for him to hear, but not for the presumably sleeping teens to hear.
Both Elizabeth and Henry doubted she was pregnant, it was probably sleep deprivation and stress causing her to be like this. Though it didn't explain the bladder problem, maybe she had a infection, a virus or something making her how she was. Really she just wanted to take it to give her ease her mind, and luckily she kept a pregnancy test in case the girls should happen to need it. Elizabeth wanted to be the approachable parent so keeping something like that and speaking to the girls assured them that she was willing to help them no matter the situation.
Elizabeth walked back into the bedroom with the test. "We have to wait a few minutes." She put the test onto her dresser as Henry walked over, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.
