Mon Chéri

31

Nyx

I wake up alone in mine and my wife's hotel room. I open my eyes slightly and I smile at the clothes scattered across the floor from last nights event. That happiness fades when a wave of nausea passes through me. We have been in Paris for 3 days now and I've had morning sickness each day from when I've woke up to about 3pm.

I get up just as Tish walks into the room holding two coffee's. I smile at her whilst I hold back the sickness feeling. "Morning Mon cheri." Morticia says as she places the cups down. "Morning" I mutter quietly as I sit back down. "I've ordered some breakfast and we are gonna-" She tell me as she walks around tidying.

Her voice becomes muffled as my vision blurs and heat spreads through me. My hands begin to shake as I start to shiver. My head starts throbbing making me shut my eyes tight.

I feel hand cupping my face and I open my eyes again. I come face to face with my wife as she puts the back of her hand to my forehead "My love you aren't well..why didnt you tell me?". I shake my head as I mutter "Just..morning sickness..again".

"Mon cheri this is more then morning sickness. What have you eaten recently?" She asks as she takes the baggy shirt i put on to sleep in off me. "I..uh..food from that..restaurant last night" I lean on Morticia as I speak. "Well it can't be that because I had the same..you must have the flu" she tells me.

My eyes widen as my mouth fills with saliva. Tish helps me up and she takes me to the bathroom. I spend the majority of my day in that room next to the toilet. It gets late and my nausea finally leaves. I get up and I stumble into the bedroom where I find Morticia placing a bowl next to the bed with a cold flannel.

She spots me stood in the doorway and comes to help me. I lay on my back in bed and she places the flannel on my head. She places gentle kisses along my neck to soothe me as I fall asleep in her arms. That sickness lasted until the 8th day of our honeymoon.

I wake up before Morticia and I smile as I look at her. Her arms are around my waist as her head rests carefully on my growing stomach. I sigh and I look out of the window. The room Morticia booked us into has the perfect view of the eiffel tower.

I look down at the sleeping woman and I run my fingers through her hair. I grab my phone off the bedside table and I take a photo of her. I slide out of bed and I start to get dressed. I make my way down to the dining area and I stand and stare at the buffet of food.

I sigh as I put my hand on my stomach. "What food do you want today kiddo?" I ask the baby quietly. "I recommend the sushi" a voice says behind me. I frown as I turn around "What?". A woman with bright blue eyes and brown hair smiles at me. "Taylor?" I question as I stare at my collegue.

She smiles back at me then hugs me "I didn't know you were here.". I hum "Yeah I've been here for 8 days but the first three I had bad morning sickness and the other 5 I had the fl-". "Your pregnant?" Taylor asks in shock with a hint of anger in her voice.

"Crap...we weren't gonna tell anyone until atleast 20 weeks. Please don't mention the pregnancy to anyone.." I plead with her as I put some toast on a plate. She nods and grins at me "I promise.". I butter my toast before turning around "ill see you around..I have to get back up to Morticia before she wakes up". I wave at Taylor as I walk off.

"You wouldn't believe who I've just bumped into" I say as I sit next to Tish who is sat reading a book. "Who my love?" She asks before biting the toast I'm holding to her mouth. "Taylor. As in Taylor Matthews who works at nevermore. She was downstairs when I was getting breakfast" I tell her as I start to eat my toast.

"Shes here? In Paris.. at the same time as us?" Tish asks and I nod. She hums slightly and opens her arms for me to lay on her chest as  I finish my food. "What are we doing today?" I play with her hair by twirling it around my finger. "I was thinking we could have a day by the pool?" I nod quickly and I get up.

I rush around getting a bikini on and finding sunglasses and a hat. I freeze when I pass the mirror and I spot a tiny bump. Tish walks up behind me now in her own swim suit. Her hands snake around my waist and she places them on my lower stomach "You've grown Mon Cheri.".

I turn to face my wife and I peck her lips "I love you". Tish smiles and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear "I love you amour". I hold her hand as I pull her down two the pool. She puts the bag of things we brought down between two chairs and I lay on one.

After a while of sunbathing I hear a voice "Nyx?". I sit up and I look at the figure blocking the sun "Taylor..hi". "Hey. I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping?". I look over at morticia and she looks slightly annoyed at our colleagues presence. But as a people pleaser..which is a serious issue with me..I agree "uh..sure..not for long though".

I get up and I grab a shirt and some trousers I brang out of the bag. I sit on Morticias lap as I kiss her "Are you okay with this?". She nods and I smile "Ill be back soon..I love you". I look back at Tish and I give her a small smile as Taylor pulls me through the hotel and out to the streets of Paris.
