Vitamins

The feeling of waking up in his embrace was the best feeling on Earth. She had never felt safer, or more alive, in the last year of her life than she did that morning in his embrace. The feeling of his steady breathing showed that he was still asleep, and she silently pressed her ear to his chest listening to the constant sound of his heartbeat. Every part of him was perfect, she was finally allowed to be happy again, and it was something she deserved more than anyone, and she could sense that with him by her side she was never going to feel alone again. She smiled as the beating of his heartbeat remained in her ears, and a few seconds later she felt him reaching up to stroke at the tendrils of her hair gently, and she knew she had awakened him.

She pressed a soft kiss across his chest, and smiled softly her body felt a little bit more refreshed, and she whispered gently breaking the silence, "Good-morning baby" She leaned up, and planted a delicate kiss on his lips, and smiled against them as he held her gently.

"Good-morning, Angel" He whispered back, and continued to stroke at her hair as he sat up leaning back against the backboard, and pulled her onto his lap, "How are you and the baby?" He teased knowing she couldn't exactly tell what the baby was doing yet, and he planted his hand across her abdomen lightly stroking the area.

"It's doing good sweetie" She said softly, and leaned in kissing him again, and he laughed softly against her lips.

"Can I go get your vitamins now?" He teased, and she pulled a fake angry face, and smacked him over the head lightly.

"You are the best at ruining the moment hope you know!" She informed him shaking her head, and he chuckled lightly at her.
"And proud of it" He said planting a kiss to her forehead, and slipping the covers off of his body looking at her with a smirk, and she folded her arms over her chest shaking her head as she stood letting go of her, and fiddled around on the floor for his clothes. They were strewn all over the place, and it was a challenge finding them all.

"You are so mean to me!" She whimpered, and threw the covers off of herself, and slipped out of bed walking to her closet, and pulled out her clothes pulling them on the best she could, and glanced over towards Justin, "Why don't you go get some of your clothes from your house?" She asked him, and he froze looking over at her as if shocked by the entire idea, before shaking his head.
"Erm...No it's alright you have more than enough of my clothes here..." He trailed off, and shook his head planting an uneasy smile on his face, and she shrugged looking at him.

"Suit yourself" She said, and opened the door to her bedroom watching as Buster rushed in looking up at her barking happily, and she reached down stroking him behind the ears, and straightened her back looking at him gently, "Good-morning Buster!" She greeted him, and the dog licked her hand. She laughed, and turned her attention back on Justin who was finished dressing, and walking towards the bedroom door carefully. He still seemed a little uneasy, and she wondered what his problem was.

"Well I am going to go, and get your vitamins, and erm...just try not to venture too far?" he told her, and she raised an eyebrow, planting her hands on her hips.

"I am capable of taking care of myself thanks" She informed him, and he nearly panicked grasping at her arms and pressed her back lightly against the nearest wall, "Ouch! What the-"

"Please Alex just listen to me, don't leave the house, please!" He begged her his eyes were pleading, and she was looking at him with complete confusion, but she found her mouth involuntarily opening, and telling him that she would do as he said. She wouldn't leave the house. He seemed so adamant about the whole thing that she decided it was probably best to listen to him, though he was seemingly getting more mysterious as time went on, and it was starting to unnerve her inside at times. She figured he needed to take a chill pill, and that was all.

"I will stay, just...please let go" She whimpered, and he did as she asked letting go of her arms, and she slipped out of his grasp, and stood with her back to him trying to regain her wits after what had just happened. He was truly being bizarre, and she wasn't entirely certain as to what this was all about, but something told her she didn't want to know. She walked to the kitchen, and opened up Buster's food bucket pouring some of his food into his bowl, and he came running as usual, and she sighed, "Good boy Buster" She said simply, and put the food back away, and turned to Justin who was rummaging through his wallet counting his money to make sure he had enough. "You leaving, or not?" She asked sourly, and continued to watch him.

"Yes I am leaving" He told her, and she nodded looking down as she walked slowly towards the bedroom.

"Well I am going back to sleep then" She told him, and he raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything, as he walked out of the apartment closing the door behind him, and she shuddered as he did, and left her bedroom door open walking to the bed, and threw herself on top of it. She was joined minutes later by Buster, and she wrapped her arm around him snuggling close to him, and closed her eyes, "At least you are never mean to me" She whispered into his soft fur, and kissed it softly.

Within minutes she was falling back into unconsciousness, and water was all she dreamed about. She had never had a dream like this before, and it was all new to her. She was swimming in a pool of endless water, and her feet couldn't touch the bottom, but she was a tireless swimmer always swimming, and she kept her arms moving; her legs kicking, within minutes she started sinking against her will, her screams were useless. She was being pulled to the depths of this massive never-ending pool, but she felt arms wrapping around her pulling her up to the surface, and her screams were silent under the water, never ending always there. Calling out for Justin to help her.

Reality set in, and she awoke Justin was holding her, and stroking her sweat matted hair yelling for her to wake up, and she forced her eyes open looking at him, "What happened?" She asked looking around Buster was standing barking beside her, "Where am I?" She was in confusion, and he sighed in relief holding her in his warm embrace to calm her down.

"Your fine everything is fine now" He told her, and she relaxed against his chest, her eyes drifted closed, and she tried to catch her breath as she clung to him. It was the strangest dream she had had to date, and now she was back in his arms, again.

"Im sorry..." She whispered against his chest, and stroked her hair lightly now it was his turn to sit in confused silence for a few minutes.
"For what?" He asked her trying to keep her calm.

"Everything" She whispered, and he shook his head gently kissing her forehead, and held her firmly against her body. He didn't exactly understand what she was apologizing for, but he kept those thoughts to himself, and sat back lightly looking at her.

"You should probably take your vitamins now" He informed her, and she grimaced, and glared at him. He was the king of ruining every tender moment they had with his damn words. She sighed, and shook her head leaning back against the pillows, and out of his embrace.

"Fine" She answered, and he stood from the bed hardly noticing her annoyance, and went, and got them bringing them to her along with a glass of water, and she effortlessly drank the water, and swallowed the pills looking into his eyes, and observed him, he didn't seem to be paying much attention to anything, and she sighed putting down the glass, and looked at him, "You need to lighten up" She told him, and stroked his hand while they were in hers, and smiled softly, and he shook his head.

"I can't..." He said with a shrug, and kissed her forehead, "I am just so worried about you" She sighed, and looked down at their hands trying to get her mind off of that wasn't helping at all.

"I will be fine, and so will the baby!" She whispered stroking his cheek, "I promise" She whispered unsure of the truth, but figured that from here on out she needed a more positive outlook.
