Charlie's pov:
I wake up vomiting into a bucket because of this goddamn baby. i check the time- 6:25. Nicks alarm goes off at 6:30 so i just get up and brush my teeth.
i honestly don't know what to do about Nick. i know it's not ok to ask why but i'm afraid it's my fault or that he's mad. He told me he mostly cuts when he's stressed so is he stressed about his job? am i stressing him out? is it our baby? he's made it obvious he's excited and i trust that but under that is he that nervous? I know Nick has severe anxiety and Melancholic Depression (a subtype of clinical depression). I also have depression and anxiety with a mix of OCD. Nick and I are truly made for each other🫶
As worried and anxious i am i can't ask because i feel like that could trigger him further but i'm not sure. maybe i'm not very good at my job? i don't know but the only way i can calm my own nerves is to ask. So i take a deep breath and walk back into our room to see him shirtless in his boxers looking at his own scars. They are still scabbing lines considering that they are still new. He sees me in behind me and stops. He looks panicked and guilty.
Charlie: "You know i love you. And you never have to apologize to me. I know what this is like. I just need to ask... is it about me? our baby?"
Nick looks surprised until he quickly responds
Nick "Charlie, it could never be you or our baby. I'm so excited to be with you and starting a family with you!! i love you and our baby more than anything. I'm just a little stressed with work and everything that i felt like i had too. I'm sorry. I don't want to trigger you either."
I go and hug him from behind almost burying my face in his shoulder.
Charlie: "baby, you know you can talk to me about anything that's stressing you out right? I love your too and you could never trigger me by doing the thing that our bodies have basically trained us to do. It's horrible i know but i know we are both so strong and can overcome it."
Nick: "I love you! I love you! I love you! i can't believe the man i'm going to marry is this perfect"
He's practically tearing up and so am i. After a few minutes we realize that Nick is now late and he runs out the door. God he is the perfect man.
