Kelly- A New Baby Pt1

I never thought I'd get married and have kids. I just didn't think that I would ever find a man I'd consider having that kind of life with, but when Kelly Severide stepped into my life everything change. We didn't meet in the best of way. He's a fireman and I'm a police dog handler. There had been a bombing and they asked me to send my search and rescue dogs in. I fell for the guy there and then.
5 years on and we are married and have a beautiful daughter who's just turned 3 named Harper.

Today I woke up feeling off. Headache and nausea on and off. I have today off from work which is fantastic, but also my daughter is here and as much as I love her she can be an absolute nightmare
"Harper can you pick your toys up please"
"No thank you mommy" at least she's using her manners right?
"Harper. Daddy won't be happy when he comes home"
"Daddy loves me so he won't shout" Harper shrugs and she's right. She's a daddy's girl and she has him wrapped round her little finger. I'm always the bad guy and that's fine this is our dynamic, but sometimes it would be good to get a little help off him
"Right come on pick the toys up before someone hurts themselves"
"But I'm playing with them mommy"
"Harper I'm not feeling very well so please pick up your toys. I'll help, but your not getting anything else out until these toys are put away"
"Fine" Harper shouts and I rub my head as a headache begins again.
Once all the toys have been picked up I sit down on the couch and close my eyes for a moment
"Mommy?"
"Yes princess?" I open one eye to look at her
"When's dinner?"
"When daddy gets home"
"When's that?"
"Soon" I reply "I'm going to take a nap. You know the rules"
"Don't unlock the door and daddy has a key to get in. Can I play upstairs?"
"Yes, but don't run"

Before I know it I'm being woken up by Kelly's voice and touch. I open my eyes and see Kelly smiling at me
"When did you get home?" I yawn
"Just. How long have you been asleep?"
"Not long" I reply glancing at the clock "how was work today?"
"The usual, how was Harper?"
"Giving me hell"
"You made any supper?"
"No not yet" I shake my head
"I'll order us some food instead. What do you fancy?"
"To be honest Kel, I don't feel to good. Think I might be coming down with something. Just order yourself and Harper something"
"You need to eat. Even if it's just some rice or something"
"Ok" I give in to Kelly.

Once our food has arrived we all sat down together. I take small bites of food and small sips of water
"So Harper. Have you been a good girl for mommy today?" Kelly asks. Harper lowers her head a little
"I wasn't naughty and mommy has been lazy today"
"Mommy said she isn't feeling very well so you need to be a big girl and help her"
"But..."
"No buts. Now eat your food and then it's bath then bed time"
"Fine" Harper pouts and takes her time eating her tea trying to make her bedtime later.

Once the Harper is in bed me and Kelly curl up on the sofa together watching TV. I swallow feeling more and more nauseous until I can't keep it down any more and the urge to throw up over comes me. I jump off the couch and run to the downstairs bathroom, Kelly following behind me.
Once I finish throwing up Kel and I head upstairs to bed
"You feeling any better?" Kelly asks as I change into one of his shirts
"Yeah. The nauseas gone now. Im just super tired. I've had a headache all day so its probably that that's made me sick"
"Maybe your pregnant" Kelly says. I roll my eyes at him
"I'm not pregnant"
"Are you sure because we're not very carful" Kelly  states and to be fair he's got a point "you've been tired all week. We said if you were to get pregnant we'd be happy"
"Of course I would be, but had my period 2 weeks ago"
"Could be 2 weeks pregnant"
"Kel I'm not pregnant" I sigh getting into bed
"This is exactly what you were like with Harper"
"If it makes you feel any better I'll take a test tomorrow"
"Ok" Kelly kisses the top of my head and then wraps his arm around my waist and we both fall asleep.
