Rubato - Scarlett Johansson

Part 19

Scarlett's POV

There is something about just laying here, watching her sleep that makes the whole world seem peaceful. She looks so calm like this it's easy to forget the madness that is her life. I honestly don't know how she does it. I barely understood how she could do it all before I found out what Ray had been doing to her. Now I know he had been doing all that to her on top of managing her career and all the amazing stuff I keep learning about that she does as Theo. I have actually got no idea how she even makes time for me and the kids. But she does and I love her for it. I may have been the superhero but she is the real super one.

I don't want to move or wake her up, but I really have to pee, stupid balder after having two kids. The only problem is Theo is pretty much on top of me, which I love, but I don't know how I am going to escape. Starting slowly I try and wriggle a little, to gauge how much movement I have. Slowly I manage to untangle our legs, holding back a laugh when she whines a little in her sleep. She is just so adorable. The next bit is harder as I attempt to use my Black Widow moves to replace my body with my pillow. The key word here is attempt, I blame it on me being rusty. The moment I go to move her head off of my chest she whines loudly, digging her face into my bobs, which has a chuckle actually getting past my lips this time. "Nooooooo" she slurs against me, tightening her arms around my waist, which has me both laughing and fighting off the urge to pee. I really need to pee. 

The cute moment was interrupted however when she shot upright and ran to the bathroom, the sound of her being sick letting me know what was going on. I hate that she has such bad morning sickness, I wish I could make it better, but I can't and it makes me feel so helpless. Slipping on one of Theo's shirts I make my way to the kitchen, grabbing her a bottle of water before making my way to the bathroom, although I did stop by her spare bathroom to pee real quick. Sue me, but it was that or pee myself. 

Giving Theo an empathetic smile as she sits leaning against the wall by the toilet. "Have I told you how amazing being pregnant is? Because I am loving it. Why you would have two is beyond me" she says sarcastically, her voice rough from a combination of just waking up and being sick. "I know baby, it sucks huh? I brought you a bottle of water and a shirt, but a nice shower might do you good" I coo, moving so I was squatting in front of her, brushing some hair out of her face. I would have followed her through and held her hair back while she was throwing up, but the last time I did that it just irritated her, so I think I am going to give her some space when she's sick for the time being.

"Will you shower with me?" She asks, her voice so timid that my heart melts. I am one of only a few people who get to see her like this, and it just makes me love her so much more. "I would be stupid not to baby. Are you ok though? I'm not complaining because I love all the cuddling but you are being a lot more touchy since you got back?" I ask, not wanting to upset her, but also wanting to know if she is ok. God, I swear if something happened while she was away I will kill someone. She just hummed, finishing her water before holding her hands up to me, asking for a hand off of the floor. I pulled her up with a smile, watching as she slips past me to brush her teeth. "Missed you" is all she said with a shrug, before getting to work on her teeth clearly not in the mood for a more in-depth conversation right now. 

Moving behind her I wrap my arms around her waist, leaning my head between her shoulder blades as my hands run over her bare stomach since we both only slept in panties last night. Thank God she has the heating on right now or she would be freezing. "I missed you too baby, so much" I whisper, kissing her back lightly as her hand squeezes my arm slightly. After that I move to brush my own teeth, the pair of us going through our routine silently, it was so domestic, and I love it. God, I love her. Every day I think it's impossible to love her anymore, and then she will do something small and suddenly I love her even more than I thought was possible.
