Echo- in sickness and in health

(Modern au where Soft husband Echo comes to your rescue after you push yourself too far.)

Spitting the last bit of vomit into the toilet you shakily pulled the flush lever before leaning your back against the wall until you waited for your stomach to settle down. 'Ugh! Of all days I had to get sick why did it have to be on the day of my wedding anniversary?!?!'

Two days ago during a face time chat Echo had called you with great news saying that not only was he coming home in time to celebrate your wedding anniversary early, but that General Skywalker— coordinated with the assistance of his wife Padmè— had pulled a few strings and arranged some surprises in order to make your wedding anniversary extra special. 'I miss you so much dear and can hardly wait to see you again, I love you to the moon and back.'

Of course feeling excited beyond belief you told him that you would meet him at the docks in time when he lands despite his insisting that he'd come home to you as he didn't want you going about on your own because of the recent wave of muggings that had occurred. At the time however you waved off his concerns stating that you can handle yourself just fine, but right now; you dearly wished you'd taken him up on his offer.

Reluctantly getting up from the floor you went over to the sink and throughly brushed your teeth until you could no longer taste the stench of vomit on your tongue anymore before popping some medicine into your mouth. Although you very much wanted to stay in your pajamas and crawl underneath the covers, you didn't want to let Echo down on what was supposed to be a very special day by admitting you're sick.

Especially given the fact that you and your husband only have little amount of precious time together since his job as a navy officer is constantly forcing him to travel a lot. Which is why you were determined to make sure everything worked out perfectly for your anniversary.

With that resolve in your mind you changed into a semi casual outfit consisting of: a cute bell sleeve shirt, jeans and ankle boots—One of Echo's favourite outfits on you. Then slipping on your wedding ring onto your finger, you fixed up your hair as best you could and applied some make-up to hide any and all remaining evidence of your sickness. After careful checking over your appearance and coming to a satisfactory conclusion, you grabbed your purse and keys before heading out to meet up with Echo.

After hailing a cab you got in, told the driver where you wanted to go then leaned back against your seated and prayed that the rocking motion of the cab wouldn't cause your already sensitive stomach to stage another revolt!

"Hey lady, are you feeling okay?" Asked the driver eyeing you skeptically through the overhead mirror.

"Yes— I'm quite alright thank you." The last thing you needed right now was to get kicked out of a cab and wind up stranded on a busy highway.

"You sure about that? 'Cause you look like your two sheets to the wind."

"Uh huh." Swallowing nervously you placed one hand over your stomach and hooked the other one over the handle above your head. "Nothing to worry about." 'As long as you don't take any sharp turns!'

Raising an eyebrow in disbelief the driver merely hums out an. "If you say so. But uh in case your not— can you do me a favour and try do all your vomiting out the window please? I rather not spend all day wiping off uh—whatever it is that's disagreeing with you— from my seats."
