Feelings

Anthony and Raven

I was peacefully dreaming when I was rudely awaken by a terrible pain in my abdomen. I stood up, grabbed a towel, a change of clothes and headed to the bathroom. I turned the water on and let it run for a minute before taking off my clothes and hopping into the shower.

Anthony's POV

What the heck? Where did Raye go? I look around the room sleepily, my eyes still adjusting to the sunlight. I sat up and got out of bed. I walked over to the bathroom and knocked on the door, "Raven? You ok?" There was some slight shuffling before she finally opened the door. "I'm fine..." her tear stained face was enough for me to know that she, indeed, was not fine. "Were you crying?" She looked down at the floor, "No..." "Yes you were! Raven what's the matter?" At this point I was going through all of the possible scenarios in my head. Did I do something? Did I not do something? Did someone hurt her? That's when it clicked. Today is the sixteenth of November. Which means she must be on her period! I gently lift her head so that she is looking at me, "Cramps?" She burst into tears and hugged me tightly.  I hated seeing her in pain like that, "Aw, Baby Girl... I'm so sorry. I know this sucks. Let me get ready and I'll go and get all of your favorite stuff for you, ok?" Raven sighed and wiped the tears from her beautiful face, "Ok...but please hurry...I'm in a lot of pain."
"Don't worry, I'll be quick. Now go lay down and turn on a movie. Just relax, I'll be back soon."

[..Sometime after Anthony left..]

Raven's POV

It's been about thirty minutes since Anthony left. And the pain is getting worse. It was almost as if someone grabbed my insides and was trying to knit them into a sweater. I was just about ready to fall asleep, when Anthony opened our bedroom door and smiled softly. "How's my beautiful Wife feeling?" He asked, kissing me on my lips. "She's ok...these cramps are killing me." He looked at me with sad eyes. He's always hated seeing me in pain. "Well it's a good thing that I've come to save the day!" I smiled and slowly sat up. "Ok first of all, I got you your favorite drink and some medicine. Then I went and got you one of those huge fuzzy sweatshirts so that you could be comfy. Became I wasn't about to let my baby be uncomfy. Then I went and got you all of your favorite snack because I know you love your snacks." I squealed in excitement and jumped up to hug him. He wrapped his arms around me and laughed, "Now tell me. Who's the best husband in the world?" I smiled and kissed him lovingly, "You are, Baby!" "That's right. And don't you forget it." He smiled and kissed me again. For the rest of the night we cuddled and watched our favorite movies. We needed up falling asleep and soon...I felt no more pain.
