Waking up, Danny stretched as he let out a yawn. It was only two weeks ago he found out he was going to be a daddy. He was so happy. A grin crawled across his face as he looked at his beautiful wife as she slept. They'd only been married a few weeks, and already a new Fenton was on his or her way.
He whispered her name a few times, trying to wake her up. Finally, he decided to try the old Snow White/Sleeping Beauty method.
"Prince Charming." Sam said as he kissed her on the cheek, waking her up.
"Sleeping Beauty."
It was in the middle of breakfast when Sam got up and ran to the bathroom. Sensing a red flag, as it were, Danny got up and followed her, rubbing her back as she knelt by the toilet. "Thanks, Danny." She said as he helped her to her feet.
"No problem." He responded as she brushed her teeth. "Can I assume, then, that you won't be finishing breakfast?"
"No, not today."
Whoever came up with the title "morning sickness" evidently never had morning sickness. Sam thought to herself as she swished around some fluoride that she had in her purse after her fourth trip to the restroom that day at work. Danny, meanwhile, was home on the internet, looking up ways to help Sam through it.
"Danny, I'm home."
"Hi, sweetheart. How was your day?"
"I had about six bouts of 'morning sickness' today. That's pretty much it. What'd you do today?"
"I looked up ways to help you through your morning sickness. As a matter of fact, I made you some gingerbread men with a hint of wheat germ. They say ginger and wheat germ help treat it." he said, presenting her a plate full of little brown men with frosting faces.
"Aaw, thank you." She said, taking a bite of one.
"Would you like some tea? Tea also has ginger in it, so I thought, well, you know…" he said, trailing off.
"I'd love some."
"What flavor do you want? I bought every kind I could get."
"Oh, I don't care."
"Here you go." Danny said a few minutes later as he placed a warm, steaming mug before Sam. "Some Irish Breakfast tea with some lemon."
Sam tasted it. "Could you make it with just a spoonful of cream and a dash of sugar?"
"Sure." He replied, taking the mug.
