Harry frowned when he looked away from the coffee machine and to the clock over the cooker. It was half past seven and Nikki still hadn't moved from their bedroom whereas normally she was up at seven every morning for work. Placing his coffee mug down Harry walked out of the kitchen and up to their bedroom where he saw Nikki curled up on the bed, her arms around her stomach and her eyes closed, a pained expression on her face.
"Nikki? What's wrong?" Harry asked softly as he walked over to the bed and sat on the edge. He reached over as Nikki shifted slightly and ran one hand gently over his lover's hair.
"Cramps" Nikki managed to whisper quietly and groaned as she opened her eyes and clutched her stomach harder. Harry nodded slightly and leant down to press a kiss onto her forehead and gave her a worried look.
"I'll get you a hot water bottle and then you can get back under the duvet a try to sleep" Harry told Nikki who shook her head and gave him a small smile as she tried to sit up, Harry placed his hand on her shoulder and pushed her gently back onto the bed again.
"Harry I need to go to work, I'm used to this by now" she told him "You men have no idea what it's like"
"It's not normally this bad and you have been working hard at work" Harry told his lover as he climbed off the bed and leant down to give her another kiss "I'll be right back"
Nikki only sighed and winced as another cramp shot through her body and she groaned, burying her head in the pillows under her head. A few minutes later Harry walked back into the room and handed Nikki the hot water bottle and pulled the duvet up so Nikki could climb under them. Tucking her in Harry gave Nikki a small smile and Nikki laughed slightly and shook her head.
"Why aren't more men like you?" she asked "Most just let us get on with it"
"Probably because I can't imagine what you are going through" Harry replied softly "I'll tell Leo you aren't feeling very well and aren't coming in today"
Nikki nodded and Harry climbed onto the bed next to her and wrapped one arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him. Nikki turned over and draped one arm over Harry's stomach and lay her head on his chest as she closed her eyes. Harry ran his hand through her hair until he heard her breathing even out and knew she was asleep. Moving himself carefully as not to wake Nikki he extracted himself from under her and lay her down before pressing a kiss onto her lips and walking out of the room.
Just because most men just don't understand. XD but I think Harry would be very understanding. :P
