Two songs later, I stopped at the Publix to get Amari some ice cream. They had a 'buy one, get one,' so I bought both of us a pint. Amari got cookies and cream and I got raspberry cheesecake. The moment we grabbed the ice cream from the freezer, I decided to eat her ice cream when she opens it because I love cookies and cream and I didn't want to get the same thing.
When we got back to the car, I thought about getting gas on the way home. I pulled out my phone to text my plug then asked Amari if she didn't mind out of courtesy.
"Hey, Love. You don't mind if I slide to my plug before we go back home, right?"
Amari frowned and groaned in discomfort.
"Mm—Actually, I feel like I need to lay down. My stomach." With her hands piled on top of each other, Amari held the side of her stomach while wincing almost silently.
"I gotchu. Whatchu need? I'll go get it for you." I offered, feeling a tenderness in my eyes. I continued to blink to chase away the feeling.
"No, it's okay. I just wanna lay down." Amari rested back on the head rest like she was feeling ill and my body started to weaken. Guilt was all I felt for feeding her so many foods. It's my fault she feeling like this so I'm gonna fix that.
"When we get back, I'll take care of you." I reached over and rubbed on her thigh then I removed my hand and continued to drive.
Once we made it back to the house, I took everything inside while Amari went straight to the couch. First, I put a pot of water on the stove and left it to boil. Then I grabbed a box of lemon ginger tea from the cabinet. When I looked over at Amari laid down, I felt like I needed to check on her so I washed my hands before I went and kneeled in front of her. I checked her temperature with the back of my hand and noticed she felt warm but not too hot.
"You feeling nauseous?" I asked with my hand on top of Amari's forehead. Her saddened eyes were dull-looking, staring at the floor.
She silently shook her head no.
"You want me to take you to my bed and give you tummy rubs?" I offered.
She shook her head yes, so I lifted her bridal style and took us toward the stairs.
I think I'll lay her on the side of the bed next to the bathroom so she has easy access.
When we got to my room, I opened the door only to be greeted by a blue crate of snacks and gifts sitting on my bed. My stomach trembled and I pray it wasn't noticeable. My legs were suddenly frozen and I stood there in shock. I genuinely did not see that coming.

"Surprise." Amari mumbled under her breath.
I looked down at the award-winning actress in my arms. She was softly smiling with her eyes closed, trying to play innocent.
