Steve walked quietly into the room him and Michelle shared on the ship. It had just gone midnight and he had just finished his day as Captain of the cruise ship they both worked on. He slipped out his smart uniform and folded it on the back of the chair, before jumping into bed beside his girlfriend who was pretty much asleep.

"Night babe" He said making his presence known while switching off the bedside lamp she must have left on before drifting off to sleep. He snuggled down beside her, which she happily responded to by giving him little suckles on the neck and chest, the way in which she usually responded in her sleeping form to the hugs and kisses he gave her. His mind then drifted off onto a subject, which he particularly wanted to discuss further with her, the topic off having kids. It would complete him if they were to have one or two little kids together, they had discussed marriage before but she had just said she was fine how they were just now but that one day it would be a great idea, so yesterday he went out and bought an incredibly expensive engagement ring, just to save for the right moment.

The next morning Michelle woke up feeling more ill than she knew possible was possible, so took a walk through to the bathroom remembering what time of month it was and then how she had nothing left.

"Steve" She said turning back to face him realising her only option was to get him to go and get or a box of tampons.

"What's wrong hun" He mumbled in his semi conscious state.

"Need you to go get some stuff" She said as she gently lay back down on top of the blanket.

"What can't you do it, im still in bed"

"Please babe, im really sore"

"What how" He asked sitting up suddenly

"You know "

"No, what is it, where you sore"

"Here" She said placing his hand on her stomach

"And period pains"

"Okay what you needing then" He asked getting up and shoving a pair of trackies and t-shirt on"

"Pads, tampons whatever and plenty of paracetamol"

"Right I'll be back in a minute" He said lightly kissing her on the forehead before wondering out. Michelle moved around on the bed trying to get herself more comfy but just couldn't manage, for her the first day was always the worst, so she was just going to spend the whole day hopefully with Steve in bed as they both had the day off and their plans of sunbathing were ruined by the constant downpour of rain.

"Hey babe" Steve said as he came in holding a plastic bag.

"Hey, you were quick" She said sitting up and catching the bag Steve threw at her.

"Yep didn't want to keep you waiting and I wanted to talk to you"

"Sounds interesting, I'll just go pop this in" she said taking the box and tampons through to the bathroom, where she squatted over the toilet and shoved on inside her, wincing in pain as she did so.

"Babe how many paracetamols do you take" Steve asked from outside the bathroom as she stood back up and walked out.

"3 or 4 usually"

"Ok, so I was thinking last night" He said sitting back down on the bed beside her, while handing her the glass of water and paracetamol and watched as she swolled them all separately

"Yeah you were thinking"

"Well only if you want to of course, but maybe we could try for some babies"

"Babies"

"Yeah but only if you want to, I just think it would be nice to have a little kid or two to complete our little family"

"I guess if you want to, we could try" She said trying to end the conversation the best she could as she knew that for her to get pregnant again, she would need to start on fertility drugs, which she didn't mind it was just telling Steve that she was partly infertile that scared her the most.
