Jay- Can't Sleep

This was requested over on Tumblr

Periods suck. Not only do I have horrendous cramps, but I can't sleep because of them. I look over at my husband, Jay, who is fast asleep, slightly snoring. He's basically bragging that he's asleep and I'm not, but he works hard so I want to let him sleep. Luckily my job means I can choose my hours and I can work from home. I pick up my phone from the bedside table and first check Facebook, boring, Twitter, boring, Instagram, nope nothing on there. Sighing I go on to the internet and start looking at clothes, shoes, bags, anything really.
In no time at all I end up with over $100 worth of clothes in my basket, oops.

After spending to much money, I go onto my word app to continue writing my book. I'm half way through a chapter when my phone dies
"No" I whisper "no" I groan throwing my head back. Tears prick my eyes. I know I have auto save on but I was on a role and I'm still not tired. I sniffle as I try to stay quiet, but Jay starts to stir
"Baby? What's wrong?" he voice rough from just waking up
"It's stupid" I pout as Jay sits up
"Never stupid, talk to me"
"Well I can't sleep, my tummy hurts and now my phones died. I was half way through the 6th chapter and I was on a roll now I can't finish it. My charger is downstairs and I can't be bothered to get out of bed" I cry. I hear Jay chuckle a little then I feel a kiss placed against my forehead
"Your adorable you know"
"So I'm cute because I'm in pain and I might have lost my work"
"No of course that's not my your cute. Here" Jay leans over to his bedside table then hands me his phone "use mine. Log on to your word account and carry on writing"
"But...."
"No buts. I'm not working tomorrow so I won't need it"
"You know your the best husband a woman could dream of"
"And your the best wife. Let's dry those tears shall we" the tears start to fall again not because of my phone dying, but because of how sweet and caring Jay is. I take his phone and download the app I need and log in. Yes, my work saved!
Jay lays back down in bed and placing a hand on my tummy, rubbing it slightly to help ease my cramps
"I hate periods" I mutter
"I know. I'll pop out tomorrow and get you some pain killers and some ice cream"
"Thank you. I love you Jay"
"I love you too"
Only 10 minutes later Jays hand stops rubbing my tummy and his small snores started again. He's fast asleep. I look down at him and smile before continuing my book.

The time is now 3am and I start to feel sleepy. Placing Jays phone down on my side table I snuggle down into the bed and in Jays arms. He shifts a little letting me get comfortable before he places an arm over me, him now being the big spoon. I fall asleep immediately.

The following morning I wake up to an empty bed, it's still warm though so Jay must have only just woken up. I slowly get out of bed groaning as my period pains already start to hurt. I look at the bedside table and see that both my phone and Jays phone have gone. I make my way down stairs and see Jay sat on the couch on his phone
"Morning baby"
"Morning" I yawn sitting next to him still feeling rather sleepy
"I put your phone on charge and I got the hot water bottle out ready for when you woke up. I'll run and get some pain killers in a bit
"How did I get so lucky?" Ask generally wondering how a man like Jay exists
"How far did you get with your book?"
"I finished chapter 6 and planned chapter 7"
"I'm proud of you, you know" Jay pulls me into him and we sit like this for a while. Just holding on to one another, feeling nothing but complete love.
