Letty spent her morning puking out her breakfast.

"I hate this morning sickness crap!"Letty screamed in the bathroom.

"Letty, quit hogging the bathroom. I'm getting late" Mia said as she banged on the door.

Letty came out of the bathroom, water dripping down her face.

"Finally" Mia said relieved as she entered the bathroom. Letty just rolled her eyes at her best friend and walked to the kitchen. She picked up her plate of unfinished scrambled eggs and walked towards the sink to wash the dishes. As she washed she felt another wave of nausea. She stopped what she was doing and ran to the bathroom, opening the unlocked door and quickly lifted the seat and hurled.

"Letty! What the fuck? I'm taking a shower?" Mia said as she popped her head around the shower curtain.

"Mia, its this stupid fucking morning sickness. I can't bloody control it!" Letty said as she continued vomiting.

After what felt like ages she washed her face and mouth.

"Mia, I don't think I'll be able to take this for much longer"

"It's only the first few months. You'll be fine after that and I'm going to here for you"

"You better"

"Speaking of which, what about Dom?"
Letty looked at Mia then looked down to the marble flooring of the bathroom.

"You did get his number or something right?"
"Umm..ummm, not really" she said as she pushed a long strand of hair behind her ear.

"That's just great. Fantastic! Well done Letty!"

"Okay! Enough! I get it. I have a plan though. He works in the hospital, all I have to do is go down there and meet him. Simple as that"

Mia just gave her a glare and walked off towards her bedroom.

Letty then picked up her bag and teaching materials and walked out the door. She walked down the staircase until she reached the bottom floor, greeting everyone she saw as she proceeded out her apartment building.

As she walked out in the blazing heat she saw a familiar figure standing across the street. She hurriedly walked to the figure, a mix of confusion and anger played on his face.

"What are you doing here and how the fuck did you find out where I lived?"

"I kinda followed you back home the other day"

"The fuck? You stalking me now Dom"

"Look you're carrying my child and I just wanted to make sure you got home safe everyday"

Letty fell silent for a few moments before saying anything.

"How long have you been doing this?"
"Ever since you spoke to me"

"That...was very thoughtful of you"

"I'm actually on the way to the hospital, can I give you a lift?"
Letty was hesitant at first, she thought for a bit then finally agreed. He was after all her baby daddy.

He walked her to his car and opened the door for her and got into the drivers was silence between them for a bit.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier"Letty said as she looked at him.

"It's alright. I'm in the wrong too."

"And these pregnancy hormones, I'm really irritable these past few weeks" she said as she pushed her hair back.

Dom laughed as he looked at her.

"It's not funny, I mean I cry at the drop of a hat and then I get mad over something crummy"

"It's normal, it really is"

A small smile crept onto Letty's face. They drove on talking about their childhood and getting to know one another.

"You wanted to be a teacher all your life?"
"I love kids and when I started the job I loved it. The way the kids smile at you, the laughter and the joy"

Dom just listened to her and admired the passion she had. He admired her.

"Stop the car!" Letty said after a while.

"Why?"

"Just stop the bloody car, please!"

As Dom parked the car to the side, Letty quickly ran out and puked her guts out. Dom got down from the car and immediately rushed to her. He pulled her hair back while rubbing her back, trying to help her anyway possible.

"I'm sorry you got to see this"

"Don't worry, I've seen worse"

"Good to know" she said as she continue puking.

After she felt fine, Dom handed her a bottle of water from his car and helped her clean herself up.

She sat down for a minute or two trying to regain herself before standing up with Dom's help. He helped her get in the car.

"Are you good now?"

"I think so" she said as she drank some water.

"You've been going through this alone?"
"Kind of, well my best friend Mia helps but it's horrible"

"I'm sorry"

She turned and looked at him as he said those words.

"You don't have to be sorry, like you said it's natural and I'm getting used to it so its okay"

He brushed a strand of hair away from her face.

"I haven't really been around"

"It's okay, it really is"

"No, I'm gonna do better. I'm going to be there for you cause you are carrying my baby"

She looked at him again and at that very moment knew he was going to be there for her and their unborn child.
