Vivs pov.
Waking up to your period is never how you want to start your mornings but here we are.
It's 6am and have been woke up by stomach cramps.
There not usually something I get when on my period but every once in a while they like to appear.
After freshening up I make my way back to bed slowly and quietly trying not to awaking Beth.
As I get into bed, Beth starts moving around. Giving into the fact Iv woke her up.
"Sorry" I say quietly.
"Are you okay" she asks.
"Yeah just got my period is all" I say
"we don't have to be up for a couple hours yet, go back to sleep" I continue.
Only getting a mumble sound back.
It's now 9am and I feel like iv been tossing and turning all morning , not being able to get back to sleep from the pain.
We have training at 10am but I turned the alarm off so it wouldn't ring out , not wanting to awake Beth with it when I'm already up.
"Beth, we need to get up" I say shaking her arm softly.
"what time is it?" She asks
"9, any longer than 10 minutes in bed and we'll be late" I say.
"10 minutes to cuddle?" She asks.
I don't reply just pulling her into my arms, her leaning into my side with her head on my shoulder.
"Did you sleep okay?" Asks Beth.
"until 6 yes but then I woke up with my period and haven't slept since" I reply
"Oh, are you hurting?" She asks
"Yeah my cramps are acting up" I say back.
"You think you're going to be able to train?, Maybe you should tell them you need the day off? She says worryingly.
"Yeah I might" I reply stroking my thumb on her arm staring at the ceiling.
We lay there for a good 5 minutes of silence while Beth's rubs her hand on my stomach under my top.
"You need to get up now or you're going to be late and I also need to phone jonas and tell him I'm not coming in" I say.
Her only replying with a low groan as she gets up out of bed.
After phoning jonas and letting him know, I brush my team then lay myself on the couch and stick friends on the tv.
It's now 9:30 and only takes 10 mins to get to the training ground so Beth has a bit of time before she has to leave.
She makes her way into the living room
"do you want me to make you any breakfast before I go?" She asks.
"I'm okay but I could use some cuddles before you leave?" She replies by sitting next to me on the couch and pulling me into her side, slipping her hand under my top and rubbing my side.
15 minutes pass and she needs to leave.
"I need to go now darling but wait there I'm going to get some water and pain killers first" she says.
Making her way back to me she says "take these , they might take your cramps away slightly".
"Thank you, see you when your home" I tell her with a soft smile.
"Love you" she said while leaning down to peck my lips.
"I love you too" I say as she's walking to the door.
Fair to say this day has dragged in.
Spending the day alone is never fun but being unwell on top of that is even worse.
As much as I moan about how annoying Beth is , these are the days I miss her annoying me.
It's current 3:05 and we finish training usually at 3 so Beth should be due home anytime now. Then my phone starts ringing, it's Beth.
"Hello?" I say.
"Hi I'm just leaving the training ground.
Was thinking of going to Sainsbury's to get stuff for dinner, do you fancy chicken and rice?"she asks.
"Yes that's fine. Can we have dinner a little later though?, my cramps are still playing up."I ask. "Of course. I had a late lunch at the club anyways.".
After Beth saying she'll be home in 20 mins I hang up the phone and get myself up to let myle outside.
After letting myle out I decide to shower and fresh up as I'm still in the same clothes I slept in.
"I'm home!!" I hear beth shout from the kitchen. I quickly finish up in the shower and change. Making my way down the hall into the kitchen quietly as I see Beth turning the kettle on.
I make my way over pressing my front to her back and wrapping my arms around her waist. "Mm" Beth mumbles
"I missed you today" I say close to her ear, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek.
"I missed you too, how are you feeling?" She asks.
"I'm actually feeling okay now, the shower done me the world of good I think" I say.
"I'm glad, you want some dinner then?" She asks. "Yes please I'm starving" I say giving her another kiss on the cheek as I see also making me a cup of tea.
"Here" she says turning around to face me and passing me a mug.
"Thank you" I say pecking her lips twice.
"I'm going to go change , I'll be a few minutes" she says with a soft smile.
It's been about an hour and we have had dinner.
I'm feeling much better than earlier and in need of some fresh air.
"Can we go for a walk?, I hate that Iv been stuck in the house all day."
"Yeah come on, I'll get Myles lead. Can you get me a hoodie from the room please" she asks.
As I go into the room I decide to give Beth my comfy hoodie that she loves to wear when she's cold.
There not much stuff we can share as she sponsors Nike and I sponsor adidas but anything Beth can get her hands on she will.
After picking a hoodie for myself i head back to the back door and hand Beth the hoodie.
After putting it on she turns to me and says "you like my hoodie?" With a smug look.
Wrapping her in a hug and putting my face in her neck "yeah I do actually, would rather it off though" I say giving her quick kiss on her neck then pulling back to a smirking Beth.
"Stop it, you're on your period remember. Stop flirting when there's no action to follow" "come on let's go" she continues pulling me out the door by my hoodie.
We are doing our usual walk around the block which usually takes around 20 mins but we're still around 5 minutes from home and I feel my cramps coming back.
"My stomach is getting sore again" I say turning to Beth.
"Oh, are you okay?, come on let's get home and settled"
I reply with a simple "okay".
After getting home I go straight to the couch while Beth takes Myles lead off.
She disappears into the toilet and then makes her way back to me on the couch with a hot water bottle.
She sits down next to me to the side.
"Do you want me to cuddle you or is your stomach too sore?" She asks.
"Can you please cuddle me" I ask her softly while sliding down the couch a little and leaning into Beth's side.
She wraps her arm around my shoulder and rests her hand on my chest. Bringing her other arm to my stomach holding the water bottle and sliding my top up to place it on my bare skin.
We lay there cuddling side by side holding hands and watch some episodes of 'the gentlemen' before my eyes start closing.
Beth must realise this as she asks if I want to go to bed which I reply saying I do.
My cramps are slowly going away again but not fully yet.
Beth's in the bathroom brushing her teeth as I take 2 glasses of water to our bedside unit then joining Beth in the toilet to brush my own teeth.
After grabbing my tooth brush and applying some tooth past on it , I turn to stand behind Beth and cuddling her from behind, leaning my chin on her shoulder while running my thumb over her waistband.
"You feeling any better or still in pain" she asks.
"I'm still sore but it's not as bad anymore"I reply turning to get into bed after spitting my toothpaste out.
Both of us are now settled in bed with me resting my head on Beth's chest.
"I hate being not well and having to be away from you for the day" I say.
"Me too but I'd have hated if you tried to come to training when you weren't feeling well" she says.
"I know you would have, I'm feeling much better though so I'll be coming tomorrow" I reply rubbing my hand over hers on her stomach.
"Go to sleep darling , I can tell you're trying to keep your eyes open" she tells me.
"I know I am. Iv just missed you today that's all" I say.
"I was only away half the day" she says laughing.
"You're always extra soft and clingy when you're on your period" she continues.
"Be quiet , I have the right to be" I say giggling.
"Okay okay, go to sleep then"
I just reply with a mumbled sound. as I feel Beth kiss my head and her nails trailing up my back.
Hope you all enjoy my second chapter!!
