My feet touched the cold bathroom tile as I stepped out the shower. My legs still felt achy and it would be a bold lie if I was to say my tummy felt fine. I wanted to scream when he pulled out and let me use the bathroom. I'm pretty sure my intestines are permanently moved to my sides.

My reflection caught my eye as I moved in front of the mirror and grab my tooth brush, putting some tooth paste on it as I begin to brush my teeth. My eyes traveled down to my belly and I gently rested my hand on it. I've been pregnant for a month now and I could see a barely visible bump. They said the baby doesn't start to show until 12 weeks and I'm already seeing a difference.

I nervously look out towards the bedroom at Dion who laid in the bed. He was too focused on his phone to even notice me watching him. Christmas was this week which was perfect for me to give him a pregnancy test and pop the news but I could tell he already had a feeling what was going on.

My mood swings were absolutely terrible.

Just yesterday I got overly upset at him over the fact that he wasn't snuggling me close enough during our movie. I damn near cried when he looked at me confused but switched up when he put me in his lap and tucked my face in his neck.

I smile at the memory and sigh happily, "He's so perfect," I dreamily think about my man as I rub my tummy slowly, "Imma have eight kids the way he got me wrapped around his finger."  I shake my head at the thought before making my way out the bathroom.

Dion didn't even look up as I walked into the room, making me frown. I fake groan and sigh loudly, making him look up from his phone to me, smiling as I hobbled my way over, "You so sexy when you can't walk." He opened his arms to me and I let myself climb right into them. He pressed a kiss to my head and I flick his chest, "Shaddup.. I got work later too." I whine and he chuckles, "You'll be alright.. and if it's too bad just call out or sumn." I shake my head, "I'm a nurse.. I'm not gonna call out." I say in a duh voice and he hums absentmindedly as his phone vibrated, "M'kay, baby." His attention moved back to his phone as his thumb scrolled down.

I peek over his hand to see what he was doing but he quickly turned the screen away from me. I inwardly curse when I can't make anything out. "What you doin?" He asks and I look at him, "Tryna see." I grab his wrist and he shakes his head as he moves his phone away, "Issa secret. Get awf me." I pout and try to pull his arm closer, "We don't hide things from each other." I whine and he shakes his head again, "I'm not hiding it.. I'm just saving it for later." He said in a duh tone and I grimace, "I'm gonna bite you if you don't show me." He looks me up and down, "I'll make you late for work if you do that." I groan loudly and give in as I turn away and bury my face in my pillows.

His hand moved to my hair as he gently massaged my scalp, "Stop wit the attitude. You know Christmas around the corner." I was almost drooling as I leaned into his touch. I hum softly, "I want a puppy, some chocolate, and a vacation." I peek my head up and he looks down at me, "What else?" I raise a brow, "A million dollars and my own island." He hums softly, "Our own island.." he mumbles and I look at him hard for a moment, "I'm joking.. don't buy me an island.. that's too much money." He nods his head but I know he was still thinking about it as he looked at his phone screen.

I eye him for a moment before giving in and resting my head on his chest. A little nap before work won't hurt anybody.

To say this was a rough day was such an understatement.

I had a kid throw up all over my shirt, new baby parents who argued with me over the smallest things, and then one of the other nurses went home early meaning more paper work for me.

I groan loudly as I grab my lunch bag and make my way to the break room. I wish Tasha was here to listen to me scream and rant about my patients but she sadly wasn't even in state. Something about a friend needing her to help him with something.. I don't know.
