There was nothing Daniel hated more than waking up in the morning to the sound of his wife puking in the morning. It killed him that she had to go through that misery and discomfort every single morning. It started three and a half weeks ago, every morning till noon sometimes in the evening she would puke. Daniel entered with a glass of cold water for Vala, every day he would be ready to take care of her.
"Thanks, darling." Vala took the glass when he handed to her. In routine, Daniel knelt and held her hair away from her pale and sweaty face and rubbed the small of her back as she puked again. When she finished he stood up and grabbed a wash cloth and ran it under cold water for a moment. He returned to Vala's side and pressed it against her face. Vala took a deep breath in and sat against Daniel.
"I cannot tell you the last time I had this much fun." her voice sarcastice and hoarse.
"Im sorry sweetheart." He wiped the cloth face, soothing her and making her as comfortable as possible. He put a hand on the tiny bump "Take it easy on your mama, kiddo, okay? She doesn't feel well and deserves a break …and a meal in the morning."
Vala softly laughed and started to get up. Daniel stood before her and helped her up.
"Whoah, careful babe." He told Vala when she started to sway.
He turned the shower on for her and helped her get undressed. Daniel stepped in the shower in his boxers, not caring they got wet, he didn't want to risk Vala falling and getting hurt. He helped her wash her hair and gave her a back message and whispered loving words in her ear and the hot spray of the shower enveloped them. Vala stepped out of the shower and dried herself as Daniel quickly changed into dry pajama pants -but no shirt on ;). He entered the bathroom with a hair tye and a pink fuzzy robe for Vala.
"Thanks love." Vala gave him a smile that always stopped any train of thought that he may have had, she did that to him a lot. Vala put on the robe and put her hair in a bun, a few strands of curls left out. Daniel smiled.
"What?" she asked with a goofy grin.
"You look sexy, with your hair like that." He walked over and kissed her neck. "You awlays look sexy though... but now, youre a glowing pregnant sexy."
"Awww, thanks" she kissed him back.
Daniel and Vala walked downstairs, Vala's arm wrapped around Daniel's waist.
Vala plopped on the couch and Daniel handed her the tv remote and a blanket. Vala turned the tv on and searched what was on as Daniel disappeared into the kitchen.
"What time is it?" Vala asked.
"10:05" was the answer.
"Daniel! My show is on!" Vala said happily pressing the channel number. She smiled and sat up slowly when "Gilmore Girls" appeared on the screen. She started watching it a few weeks back and was obsessed with it.
"What's so funny?" he asked when he heard Vala laugh, still in the kitchen. Vala heard him open the fridge.
"Lorelai Gilmore. I'll tell you she says all the right things and does the craziest things. She's like me!" Vala said.
Daniel smiled when she he heard her say " Genius" quietly to herself as she watched her show.
It was on commercials when Daniel returned with a plate of ginger snaps, crackers, jello, a slice of lemon with sugar, pretzels and a cup of peppermint tea. He set it in front of her on the coffee table. He sat beside her, Vala scooted next to him and snuggled into his waiting arms. Once settled, she grabbed the plate of food and nibbled lightly.
"How are you feeling?" Daniel asked, concerned.
"I'm fine right now, darling." She sighed and leaned into him.
"Napkins and trash bin are on the floor by your feet, bottle of water on the table, if you need it." He put one hand on her stomach and stroked the bump, his other hand rubbed her arm up and down.
"You take such good care of me." Vala said, love and apprecitation in her eyes.
"You deserve it and more." He kissed her and they snuggled even closer and watched Gilmore Girls.
