a month and a half later


theres been a bug thats gone around toms set and a lot have had it and had to call in sick, tom was the last one to get the bug and it knocked him about so bad to the point you had to take a few days off work to look after him.

at one point tom went into hospital for a infusion because he was lacking important  vitamines due to not eating and drinking properly, while he was ill he was more concerned about you than himself which you found sweet of him.
"but i dont want you catch this thing off me"
you let out a little laugh "i wont my immune system is pretty good..the last time i was ill was when you became my new professor and gave me shit over it" tom groans "I'm sorry for being a complete ass to you back then..it was totally unprofessional of me" you smile at him.
"being ill makes you one soppy person doesn't it" tom groans again "do you want something to eat?" tom shakes his head.
"tom you haven't had anything to eat since you woke up..you meed to eat otherwise you'll be back in hospital"
"_______ do we have some of that noodle soup" you nod "we do..do you want some?"
"yes please _______"
when tom calls you by your name it catches you off guard because he hardly calls you it, its normally darling or sweetheart

men are strange when they're ill

a few days later and tom is back to normal but you've been feeling like ass.
you're answering emails on your laptop and tom is watching golf on the tv when he looks at you with concern
"what?"
"are you okay..you look a bit pale"
you laugh "im always pale but yeah im fine..wait" you get up and rush to the bathroom where you throw up and you feel your stomach do crazy loops.

tom rushes after you and comes into the bathroom and kneels down and holds your hair as you continue to vomit "its okay darling let it all out"
you groan "i think i might have the shit you had because for a few days i haven't felt right but i thought it would pass"
you get up off of the floor and flush the toilet before brushing your teeth.
tom looks at you sadly "I'm sorry baby you're the last person i wanted to give it to" tom hugs you and you hug him back.
"theres no need to be sorry shit happens..stupid american air making me ill"
"do you want me to call in for you" you shake your head "no its fine ill do it myself"
you put your hand on your mouth "on second thought yes please" you say before being sick again.

"cmon sweetheart you need to get up you've been in bed too long and you haven't had anything to eat or drink"
you pout at tom
"dont give me that face"
tom takes the bed covers off you and then picks you up "you're making me feel like a child"
tom chuckles "well you do sometimes call me-"
"don't finish that sentance" you cringe
"why aren't you at work"
"i'm taking time off to look after my beautiful girl like how she looked after me when i was ill"
"but you're the main character of the show.."
tom smiles "that doesmt matter, they can still do scenes without me"
he carries you downstairs hes about to take you to the living room.
"wait can we go to the garden i need fresh air and if i puke it wont be that much of a big deal" tom nods "sure darling" tom puts you down and you walk outside.
"what do you fancy to eat?" tom asks you.
"can you do me some mash and beans" tom rasises an eyebrow
"only if i can give you one of those vitamine protein shakes"
you scrunch your nose
"they tase gross"
"i know they do sweetheart but you've been living off mash and beans for days oh and peaches you need that boost or you'll end up where i was and i don't think you want that to happen do you?"
you shake your head "i dont..american hospitals creep me out"

6 days later you went back to work straight after you felt better and you wrapped on the movie that you were filming but when you got home you felt ill again.

"hey sweetheart will you be okay by yourself for about an hour because joe has called me and I'm desperately needed on set"
you nod "yeah ill be all good"
"call me if you need me and i'll be home straight away" when tom leaves you, you go straight to the toilet
"what the hell is wrong with me..what if it was the sandwich i ate on set..great i had a bug and now i possibly gave myself food poisoning" you say to yourself.

your phone goes off and its aimee so you answer it "damn girl you look like shit" is the first thing she says when she sees you.
"thanks i feel like it" you say that then you vomit and groan
"how long have you been like this?" aimee asks. "probably like a week ish i don't know..tom was ill and then he got me ill and then i was fine and a few minuetes ago i felt like shit again" you sigh.
"when was the last time you and tom" she wiggles her eyebrows
"why are you asking me that?"
"______ just answer me"
"i dont know maybe like last month"
"damn your sex life is dryer than mine" she says
"its not like we do things but we don't always full on fuck because we're too exhausted because of work" aimee nods "did you guys use protection"
"i can't remember but I'm on birth control anyways so its all good"
"have you took a test"
you laugh "why would i need to take a test theres no way im pregnant"
"girl you like never get ill and i dont know I've got a weird vibe"
you sigh "aimee can we not talk about this..I've had a long day and i know I'm not pregnant so just drop it..what did you call for anyway"
"oh i just butt dialled  you and then i saw how shit you looked and wanted to see how you were"

you and aimee stopped on the phone for a while but you ended up ending the call because you was feeling a lot worse and you were no longer in a talkative mood.

what aimee said on the phone was now bugging you..you've had unprotected sex with your ex and being on birth control and you've never fell pregnant so its impossible..but theres always that what if..no no now youre just overthinking it.. you groan
"i can't do this i need to put my mind at ease" you say before making yourself presentable.

you grab your bag and car keys and make your way to the nearest pharmacy wait no..what if i see someone who recognises me..you google a pharmacy that's out of town and in the middle of no where

you take a deep breath before entering and you serch the isles for the test but you can't find any so you ask at the counter
"hey do you guys sell pregnancy tests"
the lady looks you up and down please dont recognise me
"we do" she nods
"amazing can i have one please..clear blue if you've got it"
she nods and grabs the test from under the till
"for you?" she asks
"oh god no..for my sister..she went on a rebound after her ex and wasn't careful and she thinks she may be pregant"
"so you have to do the dirty work for her" the lady says "yup" you nod
"typical...this is why we keep them behind here because they'd come in and steal the tests"
"fair enough" you let out a little laugh.

you pay for the test and make your way back home, when you arrived home tom had sent you a message saying that he will be a few hours.

you have a few cups of water until you need a pee
you put the test on the sink face down and pray that you aren't pregnant.

four minuets pass and you flip the test over so the front is facing you and you smile.
