Ronnie felt like she was going to die, she hasn't thrown up that much since she was 3 years old. Ronnie was curled up in their bed with the covers over her and a bucket beside her that was already half full. "Danny." She moaned. "Ronnie honey what do you need?" "I feel so sick I feel like I'm dying and I can't get out of bed." Danny sat beside her and rubbed her back. "Ronnie, you aren't dying. It's just the morning sickness and I'll help you through it, and why do you need to get out of bed?" "I want to take a warm bath." "That can be arranged." Danny replied as he pulled off the covers that were over Ronnie's head and looked into her eyes. "I'll always be there for you my Ronnie." Ronnie smiled weakly at him but that smile quickly faded. "Ronnie?" He asked with concern. "Danny, I..." At that instant she threw up all over Danny's lap. Danny quickly helped her to the bathroom and brought her right to the toilet. Danny took off his pants and threw them in a ball on the bathroom floor. "I'm sorry." Ronnie replied between puking. "It's ok, you don't have to apologize. They needed to be washed anyway." And he continued to help his wife through her morning sickness. \
FIVE MONTHS LATER...\
The morning sickness was gone and Ronnie was starting to enjoy being pregnant. She started to rub her growing belly as she talked to it. The baby had just started to kick and there would be times where it was kicking almost all the time, even at night. Danny heard her talking once in the middle of the night. "Shhh, Mommy is trying to sleep. It's quiet time little one." "Ronnie, what are you doing?" He felt Ronnie jump beside him. "Danny, why do you have to scare me like that?" "I'm sorry, were you talking to our baby?" "Yeah, it can hear us now." Danny rubbed her belly. "She won't listen." "She? You think it's a girl?" "Yes I do, I had this dream that the baby came to see me and it was a girl. I just have this feeling." "I can't wait to see, she already has a head start." "With what?" "Not listening to her mother." Ronnie laughs and then gasps as the baby did a sharp kick. "Hey!" They both laughed at the baby's reaction and settled back into bed. Falling asleep to their hearts and baby kicks.\
