April woke up the happiest she had woken up in a long time. Last night was the night April had been dreaming of for months. Jackson and April had talked and decided to finally sort things out. She turned expecting to be embraced in her husband's warmth, but instead was faced with cold sheets. Slightly disappointed, April got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. She then went to the kitchen to get herself a cup of coffee. While the coffee brewing April decided to catch on her favorite t.v. show, Steven's Law. Just then the smell of her coffee made her stomach twist as she made a run for it to the toilet. April emptied her guts out for what seemed like forever. She decided to go back to bed and sleep it off. But in the back of her mind a thought was lingering. April was woken by a slight bang of the front door. She smiled knowing Jackson was home.
"April?" Jackson called
"In here"
Jackson walked into their bedroom with a smile which instantly disappeared when he saw April's state.
"Are you ok?" asked Jackson
"Yeah, I think I got a stomach bug" said April
"How about we order Chinese and watch a movie in bed?"
April smiled "That sounds great"
"I go order, I'll be back" Jackson said pulling out his phone.
April was relaxed until she jumped out of bed and made a dash for the bathroom. Once again April was throwing up. She felt a strong pair of arms rub her back and pull her hair out of the way. Once April was done Jackson helped her up as she rinsed out her mouth. He then carried her bridal style to the bedroom and gently laid her in bed. "I think I'm gonna call in sick tomorrow." Jackson was surprised and worried. April never called in sick, all the years he had known her. "I can take a day of to take care of you." Jackson said worried. "No." you don't need to do that"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, if I need anything I'll call you"
With that doorbell rang and Jackson went to receive and pay for the Chinese food. They then snuggled and watched Friends with Benefits until April dozed off and Jackson followed suit.
