I woke up to lightly placed kisses on the column of my neck. I smiled and hummed in response. I turned around so that I was facing Ivan. I looked up at him, he was smiling and rubbing my back.
"Good morning," I said, yawning. "Morning," he said, smiling down at me. "What time is it?" I asked. Ivan extended his arm to the side table picking up my phone. "Uh it's 7" he said and I groaned in response, Ivan chuckled at my reaction. "I hate that I'm sleeping in now" I said and even kissed my forehead. "You probably need it," he said.
"I'm also starting to feel the morning sickness more often" I said and Ivan hummed. "I know, I'm sorry baby." he said worriedly. I looked up at him and kissed him. "But I'm happy about what is causing the morning sickness," I said , smiling up at him. He knew I was referring to the fact that I was pregnant. He kissed me on the lips and got up. "How long have you been awake for?" I asked him, staying in bed while he walked to the closet. "About an hour, I actually worked out and shower. But I wanted to lay down with you for a little" he said, after picking out a gray dress shirt he walked back to the bed and kissed me.
"Mmm well, I should probably get up and get ready for work" I said against his lips. He smiled and responded. "Or you can stay here and I'll check on 3C's" he said and I shook my head. "Nope, I've barely been at the company the past like 2 months, I have to get things done" I said getting up from the bed. "You own a company too Ivan, you know how things work" I said kissing him and walking to the bathroom to shower. I heard Ivan hum 'mhm' and then I hopped in the shower.
After showering I did my everyday makeup and put on some gray jeans, a black blouse and a white blazer like sweater with some black heels. I left my hair down with some loose beach waves. I grabbed my black bag and put my computer and iPad inside. I started to head downstairs for breakfast.

When I got downstairs I placed my bag on the side table near the door and went to the dining table where Ivan was waiting to eat breakfast with me. He was on his phone texting and I came to his side and kissed his cheek, he smiled and kissed my lips gently. I went and sat next to him while we waited for Millie and Marta to bring breakfast out. I took a bite of my waffles and started to feel nauseous so I stopped to drink some water. I could feel myself having trouble controlling the nauseousness.
"Char, are you okay baby?" Ivan said, he reached for my hand but I jumped out of the chair and rushed upstairs. I could've gone to the bathroom on the 1st floor but I wanted some privacy. As soon as I reached the bathroom in our bedroom I knelt on the floor in front of the toilet and started to puke everything out.
A couple of seconds later I felt someone place their hand on my back and rub small circles on it. "It's okay baby, let it out" Ivan said in a soothing tone. I extended my arm lightly pushing him away after I sorta finished throwing up. "Go please, I don't want you to see me like this" I said taking deep breaths controlling the nauseousness. I flushed the toilet and got up.
"No, stop it. I love you, we are in this together. In sickness and in health, remember" he said, reminding me while I walked to the sink and rinsed my mouth. I turned around and nodded at him. He walked closer to me and pulled me into his embrace. We went downstairs and I apologized to Marta and Millie. I told them I have been feeling a little under the weather so I think I was going to skip breakfast and maybe just have my berries. When we finished, me and Ivan walked over to where the cars were parked together until we approached mine. I hugged him and slightly pulled back while he left his hands around my waist.
"How are you feeling now, love?" Ivan said while I kept my hands on his shoulders. I shrugged my shoulders and responded. "I feel better, it's kind of back every now and then" I said and he nodded. "I love you" I said grinning, trying to lighten up the mood. Ivan smiled back at me and lightly pecked my lips. "I love you" he said, making me feel all giddy inside. "I'll see you later," I said. "What are you doing for lunch?" Ivan asked. "I'm going to have lunch at the office with the girls," I said and he smiled. I kissed him and then a thought came back reminding me of something. "Oh! don't forget we are babysitting Jay tonight so that my brother and Abby can have a night with Steph, so that she doesn't feel like she's being pushed aside now that Jay was born" I said to Ivan and he nodded..
Jay is now 5 months and a half. My brother asked if I was down to babysit tonight because he wanted some alone time with Abby and Steph. I personally think is a good Idea because Steph is 8 years old and since what happened with her birth parents and now Jay being born Justin doesn't want Steph to feel left out because most of the attention was going to Jay. Not because that was their blood child but because he's a baby and needs more attention and care.
Ivan nodded and kissed me goodbye. "I'll see you later, your brother is bringing him right?" Ivan asked as he slowly walked backwards to his car. I giggled and nodded. I waved back at him and got into the driver seat of my car, Nick got in the passenger seat and I drove to work.
