It was 3am and Jac woke with a familiar feeling. Jonny still had his arm closely guarding Jac's stomach and the other was on her shoulder. Normally at home, Jac would get up and sit next to the toilet but she didn't want to disturb Jonny.
Wishing that the nausea would soon past, Jac laid still, appreciating Jonny's comforting hug. After what seemed like an age, but was really only ten minutes, the nausea worsened and Jac tried to think about a calm situation.
She remembered Dubai with Joseph as they sat around the pool. But as she thought about the palm trees swaying in the breeze, she knew she didn't have long. Suddenly, Jac realised she could rest no longer and she forcefully escaped Jonny's grip. Awaking Jonny, she ran into the ensuite, and vomited heavily. At first Jonny was confused, but soon realised what was going on. He rolled his eyes when he looked at his watch. He climbed over the bed and dived into the bathroom.
"How long have you been awake?" He asked when she had finally finished, his hand was placed on her back.
"Not long."
" How long?"
"About ten minutes" she lied.
"Well why didn't you wake me?"
"Stop please, I don't have the energy to argue. I-" Another wave of nausea came and her speech was interrupted by vomiting.
Jonny held Jac's pony tail back as she leant over the toilet bowl, retching.
Few minutes later, Jac sat on the floor.
"Hey, don't sit there, come on let's go back to bed." Jonny grabs her arm.
"No. I'm staying here, you go back to bed."
"No it's alright, I'll stay here with-"
"No, I'm fine by myself. Please just go."
Jonny retreated back to the bed, as he did so, Jac rather loudly slammed the door.
-6:30am-
Jac's alarm on her phone went off. Jonny awoke and reached over onto the other bedside cabinet before turning off he alarm. He slowly and quietly opened the bathroom door to find Jac curled up leaning against the bathroom door fast asleep.
"Jac? Jac?" He whispered.
"Wh-what? Get out I-"
"Whoa calm down. Your alarm just went off."
"Oh right." She said panicking, she quickly stood up, too quickly. Everything in Jac's vision was moving. She swayed and knocked into the wall.
"Whoa, I got you come here" Jonny said as he guided her to the bed.
"There you go" he placed Jac on the bed. "Right remember my plan? I'll drive you to work and after we'll go food shopping. And I'll pack my stuff now to stay around yours for a while." He finished as he grabbed a large bag from under the bed.
Recovered from her dizzy spell, Jac didn't have the energy to argue, plus she really didn't want to have to spend another night alone.
"I'm sorry." She whispered.
"For what"
"Shouting at you, when you woke me and when I was... Well when I was in the bathroom."
"It's alright. Besides I know you didn't truly mean it" he joked. " I know you love me really and it's just your hormones going crazy!"
"Haha very funny nurse Maconie. Now if you don't mind I need the toilet" she said walking towards the bathroom, pausing before the door.
"Oh I wonder why that is?" He joked.
"Well it's not my fault is it?"
"Look I know this is none of my business, and I'm glad you didn't take it. But when I saw the pack of pills on your counter, I was wondering did you forget to take it? Or did you think you couldn't get pregnant so you didn't bother it?" He queried.
Hesitantly, she answered : "I was on the pill to control the pain, and it did work to a certain extent, but I experienced side effects so I stopped taking it. I didn't think I could get pregnant so I didn't worry with protection."
"Just out of curiosity, what side effects did you have because Mo said that you just gained weight."
"That's for me to know and you to wonder about. " she smiled as she left him wanting more and walked into the toilet. Hearing Jac moan quietly in pain though the door, Jonny went to the kitchen to get another glass of water so Jac could take some paracetamol.
Jac walked out of the bathroom and saw the tablets and water.
"Thanks but i need to get changed" she stated as she cued Jonny to leave.
"Hey don't forget this is my bedroom and I know you're pregnant so why can't I see your bump."
"Do you want to make me late?"
"Hey calm down we've still got an hour before we need to leave." He shouted as he walked into the kitchen.
