Alright so I decided to do a sequel. If you didn't read the epilogue of '84 Days' make sure you go and do that before reading this first chapter. I hope you guys will enjoy this story as much as my last. :)


Jay felt Erin get out of bed quickly. He wasn't sure what time it was, but he knew it was early, too early. He entertained the idea of lying there and acting as though he was still asleep, but ultimately decided against it knowing he shouldn't. Barely awake with his eyes squinted, only open enough to see where he was going, he rolled out of bed and followed her to the bathroom.

He found her knelt down in front of the toilet emptying the contents of her stomach. Morning sickness. The early morning wake up calls from hell had only started up about three days ago. They had found out they were expecting about a week and a half before. The doctor confirmed that the pregnancy was nearly six weeks along now.

Yawning and attempting to wake himself up Jay pulled Erin's hair away from her face. He reached for the hair tie she had sitting near the sink, and did his best to put her hair in a ponytail. The attempt was a failure. It would at least keep most of the hair away from her face, but it looked terrible. He noted that if the baby was going to be a girl, like he thought it would be, he should really learn how to do a decent ponytail.

"You alright?" He asked when she was done.

"I am in hell!" She barked back at him.

Jay did his best to hold back a laugh knowing it would only piss her off. He felt bad for her, but couldn't help but also find her dramatic response comical.

"Okay. I'm going to go get you some water."

He returned with a bottle of water and gave it to her. She was no longer vomiting, but still knelt down on the bathroom floor because she had yet to find the strength to stand.

After rinsing her mouth and brushing her teeth she joined him back in bed. She was too exhausted to reopen her eyes.

"How much time do we have?" She asked.

He looked to the nightstand. "Alarm goes off in twenty five minutes."

"Ugh" She groaned loudly. "Look up online again how long this could last."

"I don't need to look it up again. It's the same as yesterday, and the day before. Morning sickness lasts to about the 12 week mark. Until the end of the first trimester."

She pouted. "I can't do this for six more weeks Jay. I'm tired, and it's gross."

"Come here." He put his arm out and she scooted resting her head on his bicep. He wrapped his other arm around her waist. "It'll be worth it Erin. Besides I'm here for anything you need."

"I know. You've been great…. Except you really need to figure out how to pull my hair back. You kinda suck."

He laughed. "I was thinking that the whole time. Especially since I'll need to know when we have a daughter."

"Why are you so sure it's a girl?"

"I just know."

"What are you going to do if it's a boy?"

"Well it wont be, but if it is I'll be just as happy. Although my ponytail training would have been for nothing."

"Good. You better be happy because I am not doing this again."

"Doing what? Having another baby?" He asked quizzically.

"Exactly. After this baby is born we are taking precautions, or you're never coming near me again."

He laughed at her. "You'll change your mind once this whole morning sickness thing is done and over with. Anyways I thought we agreed on two or three?"

"That was before I was waking up at five a.m. sick every morning. I don't know why they call it morning sickness either. It doesn't go away. It gets better as the day goes on, but I still feel nauseous all the time."

He smiled and shook his head. "We'll see once you meet her."

"Do you have a girl name picked out of something? Is that why you are so set on having a girl?"

"No. I haven't really thought about names actually." He thought for a moment. "We should choose something that starts with an H. I like alliteration."

She laughed slightly. "You're a freak. You want to choose the name our baby will have for the rest of it's life based solely off of the fact that you like alliteration?"

"Uh yeah. Pretty much."

"Ok well on that note I'm going back to sleep."

After that they laid in silence, neither actually falling asleep, until the alarm clock rang for work.
