It was a cold winter's night and the entire castle was asleep all except for prince Adam, his IBS had flared up because of stress and now he had a terrible stomach ache due to constipation and couldn't sleep. He hadn't gone all week and it made him feel sick.
Adam lay in his bed hand over his bare bloated stomach, he was wearing nothing but his underwear under the covers. He put gentle pressure on the lower half of his stomach as he rubbed it. Suddenly his stomach cramped up as he passed gas, indicating that he desperately needed the bathroom, so he slipped out of his bed and into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him as he turned the light on.
He pulled down his underwear and sat on the toilet putting his feet on the footstool with his hand over his aching stomach. Ever since the curse was lifted he could not bring himself to sit on the toilet normally, he found that squatting was much more effective than sitting. Leaning forward he applied pressure to his stomach and pushed, his constipation finally ending.
Belle decided to check up on Adam before she went to bed, she had been reading in the library. She knew that Adam suffered from IBS and that sometimes it would flare up out of nowhere, even though he was on medication for it. When she entered his room and saw that the bathroom door was closed, she knew he was having an attack and that it could be a while before he was finished. She set up his heating pad and gave him his privacy. The heat really helped settle his stomach after an attack. It also helped lull him to sleep.
Adam spent the next hour and a half passing gas and defecating into the toilet as he rubbed his aching stomach, his constipation had developed into diarrhea. He put gentle pressure on his stomach making him have to go even more, but at the same time it relieved his stomach ache and made him feel better. Once he was finished he cleaned himself up and pulled up his underwear as he stood up and flushed the toilet, which was full a testament to how bad his stomach ache was. He washed his hands and turned out the light before he headed back to bed, he was exhausted. These attacks took a lot out of him.
The next morning Belle went to see how Adam was feeling and as she predicted he was laying on his stomach fast asleep the heating pad had worked it's magic, so she left him to rest.
Adam spent the better half of two days in the bathroom having attacks before they finally tapered off, allowing him to get some much needed rest.
During this time Belle would periodically pop in to see how Adam was feeling and give him some much needed tlc. By the following morning Adam woke feeling much better and it was all thanks to Belle.
