"What happened to your perfect immune system?" My boyfriend taunts walking into the bathroom. "JJ... Don't start." I whine from the floor. "Alright. I'm sorry Babe." He chuckles kneeling down next to me. "You want to head to bed?" I nod and wrap my arms around his neck to tired to walk anywhere. He flushed the toilet and carried me down the hall to bed. He tucked me in and went to walk away and I grabbed his arm. "What's up?" He asked confused. "Can you please cuddle with me? I'm cold." I say in a small voice. "Um there's no way I am getting sick because you are cold." He says rolling his eyes but taking off his boots. He takes off his shirt and spoons me. "Thank you." I mumble rolling over into his chest. "Of course Baby." How you feeling. "I just threw up in my mouth." I mumble annoyed and done with puking. "I didn't think you could get any grosser. You proved that one wrong." He chuckles. I roll my eyes. "Should I bring a bucket in?" I nod tiredly. "Yeah I'm sorry." He slides out of bed trying not to jostle me. "Don't apologize Love. Not your fault." He sighs walking into the kitchen and returning with the popcorn bucket. "That's the popcorn bucket." I point out. "I'll clean it." I roll my eyes. "That's disgusting. I will picture my puke when trying to eat popcorn." He chuckles. "Then we buy a new bucket." He says putting it on my lap. I sit up and he sits behind me. He wraps his arms around my stomach rubbing small soothing circles. "I don't want to puke on your bed." I mumble embarrassed. "Um your puking in a bucket." He says kissing my shoulder. Before I can respond my stomach jumps and I puke up the last bit into the bucket. "You're ok baby." He says pulling my shirt off. "You got some puke on it." He tells me tossing it in the hamper. "Im gonna dump this I will be right back." He tells me wiping my tears with the pad of his thumb. I hear yelling and stumble to the kitchen. Luke has JJ pinned against the wall. "Luke please let go." I say more tears starting. JJ eyes snap to me. "Y/N go back to my room and lock the door. Now." I shake my head. "No it's ok. Luke please let go of him." I say again. "Who do you think you are girl?" He growls. "That's your son. You don't want to hurt him." I say trying to stand my ground. "You telling me what I want to do?!" I take a deep breath. "He's out here because I am sick. He was cleaning up my puke actually. He's trying to help me. Please let him." He puts his elbow on JJs throat and I bite my lip choosing my next words carefully. "You don't want to hurt him. You have so much anger and hate pent up. JJ looks like his mother. He is strong like she was and brave like she was. All of the anger you have toward her for leaving you with a child when you were struggling is coming out on JJ which isn't fair to either of you. Hurting him is proving her right." He takes a step back and JJ immediately walks in front of me. "Feel better Y/N." He says walking out the front door. I wrap my arms around JJ scared. "Oh you are so crazy baby." He says rubbing my back. "I was so scared he was going to hurt you. I am sorry I brought up your mom. I know you don't like talking about it." I say feeling guilty. "Don't apologize. Let's get you back in bed." He says guiding me down the hall. I lay on his chest playing with his hair as I fall asleep.
