Jennifer
I wake up to Josh spooned into my back. I turn around and our faces are centimeters away. I kiss his jaw and then his lips. He stirs a bit but then his eyes open and he smiles at me and kisses the crown of my head.
"Good morning" I whisper.
"Good morning" He whispers back and leans in for our morning kiss, we never miss one.
Just as I was about to deepen the kiss a wave of nausea hits me and I sprint to the bathroom. Josh holds my hair back and rubs circles on my back until it's over.
"Sorry" I say after finishing throwing up.
"You have nothing to be sorry for"
"Yes I do, I gagged while we were kissing and I just want you to know that it was the pregnancy not the kiss" I say and he chuckles.
"Phew" he says and wipes his forehead comically, "I thought it was the kiss" He says jokingly.
We both laugh heartilly at that one, a good way to start the day.
"Jenn, can I tell you something"
"Anything"
"I have to leave for 3 months for a job that offers me a lot of money that will both help us out with the baby" He says sadly
"How long did you know this" I ask my anger rising
"Two weeks ago, I was gonna tell you but then you told me you were pregnant and that is the only thing that matters to me, so if you don't want me to go, I won't"
He's so sweet he's doing this for the baby and how could I say no, I'm gonna miss him a lot, but it will help us for when the baby comes.
"You can go" I say sadly
"Are you sure" He asks, "because I have to tell them today yes or no"
"Yes, I'm sure, I'm gonna miss you so much it hurts but it's for the baby"
"Ok, I'll call them" He gets up and heads for the door.
"Were do you think you're going" I ask him teasingly.
"I'm gonna go call them" He says confused.
"Not without kissing me first" I say puckering up my lips.
He grins and makes his way back to me and kneels in front of me and kisses me and I pour all of my feelings into it.
"Mmmmm, I'm gonna miss your kisses so much" I say
"Not as much as I'm gonna miss yours"
"Not possible" I say
"Entirely possible" He responds
"Josh" I huff
"Jennifer" He huffs back and we both burst into laughter.
"Well, I'm gonna go call them" He says and kisses me heads out the door. I hear him talk on the phone and say thank you and then hangs up.
"When are you leaving" I ask as I stand next to him and I gently rest my head on his shoulder as he wraps his arm around my waist.
"In one week" He responds sadly.
"I love you" I say with as much conviction as I can.
"I love you too" He responds lovingly.
We kiss and this time we don't stop.
