Bloom POV
We have spent the last two weeks gathering the pieces of our relationship that had crumbled. I have only had a couple days of exhaustion and on those days we stayed in and watched movies. The other times we went exploring around the property, boat riding or swimming. And at night we rekindled back to our normal selves, and my pregnancy hormones had me wanting Sky more then ever.
It felt strangely like old times, before we were married. I loved every minute of it.
But tonight is when everything went pear shaped, and reality hit us again. I had gone to bed with a slight headache. Thinking I was dehydrated I didn't think much of it at the time. But I awoke in the middle of the night feeling like I was burning up. Normally I was use to the heat, being a fire fairy but this was new and unbearable.
"Sky." I croaked, reaching out with a limp hand to shake him on his side." Sky it's too hot."
Groggily he rolled over, blinking back sleep. I didn't remove my hand from his skin as it was nice and cool. It was obvious now I was the only one experiencing the heat.
"Bloom?" he asks.
"Its too hot." I croak again. He furrows his eyebrows placing his hand on my forehead. He curses quickly pulling away.
"I'll get you a cool cloth." He leaps into action, tugging off the sheets and quilt. The nice cool air hits me body for a while before my skin seems to erupt in a heated flush once again.
Sky comes back with cloth placing it over my head. I sigh in the slight relief it brings me.
"You might have a fever." Sky says. I squint my eyes open. They were watery from my body temperature. He places his hands on my cheeks, then running them down my body. I could see the slight alarm from the way my body has suddenly heated up.
"I think it's a bit more then that-" I barely finish before I flinch, the heat seeming to expand through out my body. I seal my eyes shut, shaking my head as if the pain could leave.
"Bloom?" Sky rests his hands on my shoulders." Where does it hurt?"
I couldn't explain it to him, so I just shake my head my mind buzzing in alarm." The baby…" I whisper, my worry now going out to my child. Getting to hot could harm the baby, or I could even loose it.
Sky curses and his hands leave my body as he scrambles off the bed. I wait to the heat dulls a bit before opening my eyes again. I see in the dim light coming form the window Sky pacing back and forth, his phone pressed to his ear. The way he was pulling at his hair he could rip it out.
I force myself to calm, and make myself believe that everything was going to be alright.

" There was no sign of bleeding, and your temperature has gone back to normal." Dr. Michaels observes as she pulls away from me, packing up her bag. Luckily she had picked up her phone and didn't take long before coming here. The pain had died down in the slightest but she gave me a small shot, completely safe, to reduce my fever. Still sweaty and exhausted, I felt better.
"What caused it?" Sky asks, sitting next to me on the bed. His hand is securely in mine.
Dr. Michaels sighs, clipping her bag shut." From your power detachment pregnancy I am assuming it has to do with Nimwah. The great dragon and the child are imbalanced in your body, and this sudden attack could have been caused by it. Nimwah maybe was trying to overpower it… I'm not sure. I have never seen something like this before in a power detachment pregnancy "
"Do you think it will happen again?" Sky questions sounding worried. It's not a good feeling when your doctor is not even sure what is happening.
"It's a possibility, the shot I gave you Bloom did help, but I don't want to become reliant on it if this continues to happen multiple times, an addiction could be made and that won't be good for the baby's health in the long run… I suggest in the morning you come to the palace your highnesses, it will be easy to monitor you and the baby."
I wanted to protest but the baby came first. We had such a good time here, but I feared to think it was now over. I turn to Sky, he seems to be having the same thoughts but nods his head in understanding.
"Alright, I see you mid day tomorrow to check up on you Bloom. I suggest you get plenty of rest in the mean time." Mr. Michaels says. I say my thanks as does Sky as he walks her to the door.
As I waited for Sky to return I got out of bed, wanting to wash away the sweat off my skin. My movements were slow but I got the nice large bath running. I made sure the water wasn't to hot, as I didn't want another heat attack.
"Bloom?" Sky comes into the bathroom, his eyes carrying heavy bags. He sags his tense shoulders when seeing me." You should have got me do this?"
"I'm perfectly capable of running a bath." I say, turning away to reach down and check the temperature of the water.
Sky comes up behind me, resting a steady hand on my back as stand up right again." I know that… but after-" he stops himself, as our eyes meet. I didn't need a reminder so soon." Your pregnant, you're allowed to have people do some things for you."
I roll my eyes, not wanting to keep going with the conversation, that could end up a fight if my stubbornness came into play." Do you want to join me?"
"Of course." He grins, bordering on a cocky smirk.
The bath was nearly full when we got in, and I comfortably rested against Sky's chest. I could hear the steady rhythm of his heart and it could have lulled me to sleep. It nearly did until an odd sensation made me sit up straighter in the bath, water splashing off the sides.
"What is it?" Sky asks, already sitting up behind me, his chest hitting my back.
My hand slides down to my stomach. " The baby kicked"
"Really?" Sky says, his hands gliding down to my bulged tight skin. We waited and when the baby kicked again both of us jolted in surprise.
"That's… odd." Sky nervously chuckles, kissing the back of my head." And of all nights."
"Maybe the baby likes the water." I say, snuggling back down into the water with Sky.
"Maybe…" Sky mummers.
"We could come here, and teach them to swim in the Lake."
For a moment I let myself see it. Sky and me with our child in the water. Him or her in their small swim gear and floaties. Sky would lift them up, skim their toes through the water for fun.
I could hear their laughter…
But we weren't going to do that. There was now we, it was them. They were going to do that. And in my mind I was fazed out of the picture before it disappeared altogether.
Sky at that moment held me tighter, his arms coiling around me. We were both shaking, and not from the colder water. In that moment I had forgotten my fate, but it crashed down so quickly it hurt.
"We will…" Sky whispers softly in my hair. But what had my heart breaking was the way he said it. Not as if a promise, as if a dream.
