Marcel's P.O.V
"I'll get it." She yells, rushing to the customer. I watch her, internally smiling and just nod. Ever since we bumped into each other that day she's been slowly making room for her presence within me. I've met a lot of women but none of them come close to her, she has this warmth about her that just draws you in and those eyes, those eyes are very dangerous. Behind their beauty there's so much pain and suffering and longing. How can I ease them? How can I ease her?
"Aurora." She turns to me, eyes wide and I can't help but smile.
"Hmm?"
"You forgot table four." She lightly hits her forehead.
"Ahh! I'm sorry, can you cover for me? I'm a little busy."
"Sure but you owe me." I point at her.
"Thank you." She hums going to the kitchen, the day drags on as more and more customers come in. During lunch I notice her staring into space again, there's definitely something on her mind. I just don't know what. I decide not to bother her today and give her space, after lunch we carry on working and I try to take off her load by serving more customers. "Finally, closing time." She breathes out, sitting down.
"Marcel you were on fire today." Amelie says sitting down as well.
"Yeah, you served so many customers today, where'd you get the energy?" Easy, all I had to do was think of helping you.
"Uhm I don't know, I guess I have more drive than I care to admit?" They both laugh.
"I'll say, well we should clean up so we can lock up." She says getting up and Amelie follows. After cleaning up we all grab our stuff and head out.
"Bye guys." We wave at Amelie.
"Hey Aurora, remember when I said that you owed me?" Her eyebrows furrow.
"Yes."
"Well I'm cashing in, come on." I extend my hand and she's cautious to take it but eventually does.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see." I say leading the way. Finally getting there I watch her face light up when she sees the amusement park.
"Wowww! It's so pretty."
"Do you like it?" She smiles at me, nodding. "Okay then let's go." We make our way to the games and participate in whatever we can, playing with water guns, hitting objects, go carts and my favourite, the Farris wheel. Her laugh echoes into the night sky. She seems to be having a lot of fun, I'm glad I could distract her.
"Wow, Paris looks so beautiful from up here." She says looking out.
"Is this your first time seeing the city from this view?"
"Yeah, I've never really liked Paris so whenever I'd come here I wouldn't explore it. But now I'm seeing it through different eyes and I guess it's thanks to you." I smile.
"There's still more to see, don't worry I'll make you fall in love with Paris." And hopefully me. After our ride I buy us corn dogs and fries while Aurora finds us a place to sit.
"Thank you." Eating, her facial expression quickly changes.
"Aurora? Are you alright?" She quickly runs to the restroom and I follow. I rush to her when she comes out, feeling her forehead. "Are you okay, you're a little warm."
"I think I ate too much cotton candy." She smiles softly and I can tell her stomach really hurts.
"Okay that's enough, I'm taking you home. Come on." Walking, her pace slows down.
"Marcel." She whispers, looking at her I take her into my arms and carry her.
"Hold on okay." She nods, laying her head on my shoulder and wrapping her arms around my neck. After asking her where she's staying I take her there, take off her shoes and put her into bed. I tie her hair up and put a bin next to her bed in case she throws up again and a glass of water. Sitting by her bed I wait for her to fall asleep before I can leave.
Aurora's P.O.V
Groaning I wake up, ouch! Why does my head hurt so much? And why does my throat hurt so much? Rubbing the sleep from my eyes I see Marcel across from me, asleep on a chair.
"Marcel?" He wakes up and rubs his eyes.
"Aurora, you're awake." I nod.
"You didn't go home?"
"I wanted you to fall asleep before I could leave, I guess I passed out too." I snicker. Looking at the time I quickly get up and head to the bathroom.
"Shit we're late for work."
"I already called Amelie last night and told her you weren't feeling well, that I was taking care of you and she gave you the day off. She also said that I could come in a little late." I sit down.
"Oh, thank you and sorry for troubling you."
"It wasn't any trouble at all." Getting up he get's his things and heads for the door. "Go to the doctor okay." I nod and he leaves, smiling I head to the bathroom and take a shower.
"Ouch!" I rub my knee. "Why is the dustbin by the bed?" And then I remember glimpses of last night, Marcel carrying me home, him helping me into bed, putting the bin here, he even tied up my hair in case I vomit again. I can't help but smile remembering how caring he was with me. Making a doctors appointment I eat breakfast first then make my way there. "Bonjour, je m'appelle Aurora, j'ai rendez-vous avec le docteur Kane."
"Hello, my name is Aurora, I have an appointment with doctor Kane." I say to the receptionist.
"Oui, par ici s'il vous plait. Vous pouvez attendre ici, le médecin sera bientôt avec vous."
"Yes, right this way please. You can wait here, the doctor will be with you shortly." I nod taking a seat. The doctor comes in shortly after, he asks me a couple of questions and then asks me to pee in a cup so he can run a few tests.
"Ça pourrait être une petite fièvre mais ça n'a pas l'air grave."
"It could be a small fever but it doesn't sound serious." He reassures me before leaving. After a while he comes back and offers me a gentle smile. "Aurore, il semble que ce n'était pas une petite fièvre après tout, les résultats sont revenus et montrent que vous êtes enceinte. Je crois que les félicitations s'imposent."
"Aurora it seems to not have been a small fever after all, the results came back and show that you're pregnant. I believe congratulations are in order." What?
"Quoi?"
"What?"
"Tu es enceinte Aurore."
"You're pregnant Aurora." I look at him dumbfound, that can't be.
"Mais ce n'est pas possible, je prends la pilule."
"But that can't be, I'm on the pill." I whisper more to myself than him and he softly smiles.
"Eh bien, la pilule peut être efficace lorsqu'elle est prise régulièrement."
"Well the pill can be affective but when taken regularly." Trying to collect my thoughts I grab my jacket, the results and thank him before leaving, going back to the hotel. Closing the door I sit down, running my fingers through my hair.
"I'm pregnant?"
