His Darling

Chapter 7

It is 10 weeks into your pregnancy.

The rays of sunlight filter through the window as the morning sun rises. You slowly begin to stir in bed, feeling your eyes flutter open as you wake up from your sleep.

As you become fully awakened, you find yourself lying in bed, wrapped in the warm embrace of your husband's arms.

Shirtless Sylus is beside you, as he always sleeps without a shirt. You slowly turn to face him, not wanting him to wake up yet, and admire him sleeping peacefully.

Sylus looks so beautiful under the faint sun rays. He sleeps silently, his breaths slow and steady. His arms are wrapped around you, holding you close against his bare chest. You can hear the steady rhythm of his heart beating in his chest, a soothing sound that echoes through the quiet room.

You touch his cheek and smile, thinking about how lucky you are to have a charming, gorgeous yet kind and caring husband like him.

You suddenly feel a gush in your stomach, knowing what is about to happen.

"Oh my god" You get out of his grip and run into the bathroom.

Sylus is stirred awake by your sudden movement, opening his eyes just in time to see you make your way to the bathroom. Realizing what is happening, he bolts upright in bed, a look of worry on his face.

"Darling, are you okay?!"

You can't answer right away as you're throwing up in the toilet. Sylus springs out of bed and rushes to the bathroom, standing by your side and gently rubbing your back as you continue to throw up in the toilet.

"It's okay, darling. Just get it all out. I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere"

You flush the toilet and look up at him embarrassingly. "It's staring..."

You wipe your mouth as he looks at you with a mixture of concern and understanding on his face, gently rubbing your back.

"Hey, it's okay, you don't need to be embarrassed. Morning sickness is completely normal, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. Just take a deep breath and relax"

You cough and sit on the toilet, giving him a small smile.

"Sorry I woke you up, you were sleeping so peacefully..."

Sylus kneels in front of you, a small smile on his face as he looks at you.

"Hey, don't apologize. You can't help it, and I don't mind being woken up, especially if it's because you need me. You have nothing to be sorry for, okay?"

Sylus caresses your cheek. "I'm your husband, and it's my job to take care of you"

You nod at him. "Can you bring me some water?"

Sylus nods, a look of concern still present on his face. "Of course, don't worry. I'll get you some water right away. You stay here and rest for a moment, I'll be right back"

Sylus quickly exits the bathroom and heads over downstairs, to the kitchen. He grabs a water bottle from the fridge and walks up back to the bathroom. He returns a moment later and walks into the bathroom.

"Here you go, darling. Drink some of this, it'll help ease the nausea" Sylus offers you the bottle after twisting the cap, opening it for you.

You take the bottle and swish the water around in your mouth then spit it out into the bin. And drink some of the water.

"Thank you..."

Sylus watches you, a look of concern still on his face.

"You're welcome, darling... Is there anything else I can do for you? Do you need to brush your teeth or anything?"
