Scorpion: Before Waige

Paige

I have morning sickness and I'm sicker than hell. I've been hurling every hour from about 8:30 to about 11. It sucks.

Drew has brought me what he and Eric thinks is crazy, but I don't. Mostly like chili with extra salt...I honestly don't see how that's crazy.

Drew is usually at practice with the RoughRiders all day. We live in San Francisco with Eric, who has just came out as gay. What sucks though is that Eric is literally guessing that I'm going to have an athletic son or daughter.

"Hey Babe." Drew says coming in and kissing me. "Hey." I say. I'm lying on my left side on the couch.

"How you feeling?" He says sitting on the ground. "I was even sicker today." I responded. "Really?" "I hurled from nine to about 2:30."

"Ew." Drew said stroking my hair. "Maybe your having twins." He replies.

"I hope not." I respond.

He smiles. "You smell." I say. "I smell?" He asks before laughing. I laugh too.

'Aww crap, here it comes.' I fell some more vomit come up. "Here it comes!" I say before barely making it into the trash can. Drew gets up and holds my hair back.

I finish than I begin to cry. "What's wrong Babe?" Drew asks.

"I've been doing this for two months now...it should have stopped by now." I say in tears.

Drew wipes a tear from my eye. "Paige, I'll probably never experience what you're going through, but lemme just say this: you're doing an amazing job. And our son or daughter is lucky to have you as their mom." He says before kissing my now noticeable belly.

I kiss his fore head. This is how things should be.

Drew took the day off to see with me, the gender of our child.

The doctor does his thing.

"Well, you two have yourself a little girl." He says.

Drew smiles at me. "Let's hope that it's a lesbian." He says jokingly.

I laugh.

I am a mom.
