Jac opened her eyes blearily and glanced at the clock. 3:19. She had been awoken after moving to wrap an arm around her girlfriend, but finding nothing but empty sheets.
"Zosh?" She questioned into the darkness of the room. She noticed the thin streaks of light emerging from the edge of the bathroom door.
Slowly, she moved across the bedroom and pushed down on the handle, pulling the door open silently.
She saw her girlfriend crying silent tears, her top lying discarded on the floor, as she stared at her bump in the mirror while clutching it with both hands.
"Zosia?" She question as she moved slowly to stand behind her. "What's wrong?" She placed her hands on Zosia's bare waist and pulled her around to face her. She looked deeply into Zosia's eyes as silent tears ran down her girlfriend's cheeks.
"I..I..think something's wrong with the baby." She cried before burrowing into Jac's neck. Jac rubbed her hands up and down the pale skin of Zosia's back, occasionally moving to stroke her hair. "It feels wrong. It woke me up, and I think something bad is happening." Jac felt the coolness of Zosia's tears against the skin of her neck. She held Zosia tightly.
"It's okay, I love you." Jac murmured into Zosia's ear as she pressed kisses behind her ear. She had loved to hug Zosia in this way since she'd got pregnant. She had loved the way her bump had pressed against her own stomach. She had loved the feel of Zosia's smile against her shoulder. But she worried now whether their fairytale was coming to an end-
-Just then she felt a strange, light tap against her stomach.
"There it is again." Zosia whispered, her voice too broken to speak.
Jac frowned and moved back, leaving Zosia stood confused. She placed her hands between her thighs to warm them up knowing how much Zosia hated cold hands, before placing them gently on her bump and shifting them around clinically.
"What are you doing." Zosia asked solemly, watching as Jac frowned.
After a few moments Jac smiled a wide smile. "They're kicking." Jac filled with happiness as she held her hands to the swell of Zosia's stomach and felt their baby kick beneath the skin.
"What?!" Zosia exclaimed. "I'm not losing the baby?!" Jac smiled and shook her head, her hands still pressed to her girlfriend's bare stomach.
The pair stood contended for a while, feeling the small movements of their baby until Zosia's smile faded.
"I'm sorry." She bit her lip. "I was overreacting over nothing-"
-Jac shook her head and kissed her quickly, before pulling her into a tight embrace as Zosia cried tears of relief into her shoulder.
Eventually Zosia's tears subsided and Jac managed to pull her top back over her head and guide her back to bed.
Now they lay, spooning, Jac's hands slipped under the fabric of her girlfriend's t-shirt.
"I heart you." Jac murmured into the skin behind Zosia's ear before kissing it lightly.
Zosia smiled. Jac frowned as Zosia shifted around and she felt her hands playing with the waistband of her pyjama bottoms. "Do you want to have sex?" Zosia asked as if she was asking for a cuppa.
Jac laughed, those hormones!
I'm sorry about the wait, Doris took out my wifi. I know this is short chapter but I'll update again soon.
