The One

Chapter 38: A Sick Baby

Alison's POV

Yesterday was my 27th birthday, 27th! I can't help but feel extremely old, compared to my hot younger girl. Whom may I add isn't even 20 yet.

Oh well, at least tomorrow will be Emily and I's seventh month anniversary together. I was really looking forward to getting her that ring and surprising her tomorrow, but something just had to come up in the office to ruin it.

At least on the bright side, I will have a bit of extra time to plan everything right this time. And maybe even upgrade my girls ring while I'm at it.

I was in the midst of looking through jewelry catalogs trying to figure out the perfect design for my girl, when I get a call from my sister. I should of known. She always does this when I'm working, and most of the time it's something completely unimportant.

"Ce what is it? I'm kind of busy going through stacks of paperwork" I answer somewhat lying into my phone.

"Yeah I know. I just wanted to ask what you want me to do with Emily" she asks.

"Wait, what do you mean? What's going on with my girlfriend?"

"No idea. She's sick I think b-"

"Sick? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I say cutting my sister off.

"Maybe it has something to do with the ass crack of dawn hours that you're always waking up at. Besides you should already know that. You freaking sleep in the same bed with her. How could you miss that? And didn't you guys fuck last night too? Keeping me up late and everything"

"You know damn well why CeCe. And no we did not 'fuck'. We made love. That's different" I reply, mostly angry with myself. Mostly because she's completely right. How could I have missed that?

"Well sounds the same to me"

"Fine call it what you want then but h-"

"God Ali! Stop being such a damn wuss and get it over with already. It's not that damn hard to talk about. Besides you're the damn boss, what you say goes" she says cutting me off

"Wow CeCe thanks for being so compassionate" I reply sarcastically.

"Whatever. Are you going to come home and take care of her and the dog or do I have to do that too?"

"I'll be there in a bit. Just watch my babies until I get back home" I reply as I press end on my cellphone screen. I just hope my baby isn't too sick.

*****

When I arrived back home, I saw Emily sleeping all curled up in bed with her pizza blanket. Why she likes it so much, I will never know.

She looked so peaceful napping and I didn't want to wake her, so I just checked her temperature. The poor girl has a fever. I better just go and make her some soup for when she awakens.

About half an hour later, I come back in the room to check up on my girlfriend, only to see her running to the bathroom. So I did what any concerned girlfriend would do and follow her.

I noticed that she was throwing up. "Awe baby, what's wrong?" I ask as I knee down beside her and rub her back with one hand while holding her hair back with the other.

"I feel like shit" she replies once she wipes her mouth.

"I can tell" I say laughing.

"Hey give me a break. I don't feel too good right now" she says laughing too.

"Fine, just this once. Go back to bed and rest up baby. I'll clean up here and bring you some of my soup in a bit" I reply as I help her to her feet.
