I Will Always Love You

Chapter 29 - Dizzy

1st December

Rosetta's POV:

I sit up wriggling a little, feeling sore and very nauseous.

I suddenly become very aware that I'm alone, I look around the room
"James" I call out "james!" I up the volume of my voice the second time, nothing.

That's odd. I scratch my head before deciding to get up and go downstairs. I get changed carefully, very aware that should I get up or move too quickly I may be sick everywhere, again.

It takes me a full fifteen minutes to get ready after multiple dizzy spells, but I'm finally ready to go downstairs, I walk down slowly and quietly just in case.

"Hey darling" I look at my husband who just happens to be in front of the clock that says 1 o'clock
"It's 1, why didn't you wake me?" I whine
"You clearly needed the rest so I thought me and Harry would put up the Christmas decs to surprise you when you got up" he shrugs, I hadn't even noticed the Christmas decs.
"Looks good" I nod slowly
"How are you feeling?" He asks walking over to embrace me
"Nauseous" i simply state, he lets go of me, pulls out his bottom lip only for a large grin to replace it, he kneels down and kisses my stomach
"Hi baby"
"Not even born yet and they've replaced me" I fold my arms over my chest
"No one could replace you" he kisses my nose
"Your cute" I smile slightly
"I know" he grins

I look behind him to see Harry playing with some blocks
"Harry" I move around my husband and over to my little boy "do you want a brother or sister?" I laugh slightly as he looks up at me innocently
"I think Harry would like a little sister, you'll protect your little sister" he pinches Harry's cheek.

"Should we get mummy something to eat?" James asks our one year old
"Oh, no thanks" I interrupt
"No?" He questions
"Don't think I can keep anything down right now"
"You should eat something" james kisses my head
"No, I'll have something later if I feel up to it"

"Okay if your sure"
"I am"
"Alright, I think I'm going to take Harry for a walk"
"Remember to take wipes, I don't want you bringing him back covered in mud again"
"Yeah yeah" he leaves the room to gather everything he'll need, including Harry's buggy. He re-enters not long after holding a bag and pushing the buggy, he places the bag under and grabs Harry from the floor and puts him in before securing him.
"Would you like to come?" He asks me
"I'll stay here"
"Okay, we'll see you later" he waves leaving with Harry
"Have fun!" I call out "quiet at last" I head into the kitchen and see the kitchen worktops are a mess, James had clearly made pancakes this morning, obvious as there's flour everywhere.
"Great" I mutter under my breath before grabbing a sponge, I wipe up the flour only for most of it to fall on the floor.
I roll my eyes. I heave. Note to self don't roll your eyes.

I grab the dust pan and brush from the cupboard under the sink and clean up the floor. I throw away the egg shells that had been left on the side and the kitchen looks much better; I let out a tired sigh and head back into the living room.

I sit on the sofa and put up my feet.

Timeskip

The front door closing makes me jolt, luckily the nausea has gone for now

"Hey how's my darling wife and unborn child?"
"Would be better if we didn't have to clean up the mess you left in the kitchen" i give him a look
"Oh, sorry" a sheepish smile takes over his face "won't happen again"
"Yeah okay" I mutter sarcastically
"Pardon?"
"Nothing" i huff.

He quickly changes the subject
"What's the plan for Christmas? we haven't discussed it and Moony keeps asking me"
"Not sure, you can invite him, that's what your really asking isn't it?" He's so easy to read
"Yeah, great I'll let him know when I next see him" he places Harry down on my lap before leaving to put away the buggy.
"Don't invite anyone else, just Rem, I would like a quiet Christmas this year, last year was exhausting"
"Yeah fair point!" He calls back agreeing with me.
Once he's unpacked Harry's bag he sits next to me on the sofa wrapping an arm around my shoulders urging me to lay my head on his shoulder. Don't have to tell me twice. We snuggle together with Harry, both me and James placing a hand each in my stomach.
