The Journey

Chapter Two

A few weeks later Kym is sitting on a lounge chair by the pool enjoying the nice sunny day. This was a few days into the second week of the Dancing With The Stars: At Sea cruise. Robert had left and gone to his conference in Indiana. Kym had woken up that morning not feeling right. She wasn't quite sure what to make of this weird feeling. That night as she settled in her cabin on the ship, she decided to call Robert and inform him of this feeling and see if he had any insight of what it could be.

"Hey baby." Robert said as he answered the phone.

"Hey." Kym said not sounding very enthused to hear her lover's voice.

"Is everything okay Kymmie?" She made her way under the covers, making herself more comfortable. She took a deep breath in.

"It's- I-" She had thought of what to say, but had trouble wording them correctly.

"Kym? What's the matter?" Robert's cheerful tone turned to concerned. Kym fixed herself to where she was resting her elbows on her knees and put her hand on her forehead and sighed.

"I'm not all that sure, but-" She paused. "I woke up this morning and I just felt weird and I've felt weird all day."

"Is it like a sick weird? Do you feel sick? Was it something you ate the night before?" Robert sounded more worried than before.

"No it wasn't anything I ate. It's just hard to explain. It's not a sick weird. My body just feels different. I kept thinking about it all day and I thought of you and thought maybe you would have a theory to what it could be."

"I'm not sure. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help baby." Kym rested her chin on her hand and gave a little smile.

"Don't be sorry babe. I feel better now that I talked to you."

"Well good I'm glad baby." Kym glanced at her watch and noticed it was late.

"I should let you get some sleep. I don't want to keep you up."

"It's not a problem baby. I would stay up all night just to talk to you."

"But you have work in the morning."

"I'd rather lose sleep and talk to you to make sure you're okay than go to sleep worried about you." Kym couldn't help but smile.

"You're so sweet, but really I am okay. I'm getting pretty tired anyways. You need to get some sleep before work."

"Kymmie are you sure? I'd be more than happy-"

"Robert I'm fine." Kym cut him off. She heard Robert sigh.

"Well as long as you're okay. Sweet dreams Kymmie. I love you."

"I love you more." Kym hung up and put her phone on the nightstand. She got herself comfortable, ready to sleep, stared off for a moment, sighed, and turned the lap off.

The next morning Kym woke up still feeling the same. She shrugged off the feeling and got out of bed. She grabbed her phone and texted Carson and asked him to meet her for lunch later on. She hopped in the shower and got ready for the day. A few hours later Carson met up with Kym at one of the many restaurants on the ship. Carson noticed something wasn't right with Kym.

"Kym are you okay? You don't seem like yourself today. Was it Robert> Do I need to have a talk with him?" Kym looked over at Carson, who was previously staring at the beautiful blue ocean.

"No Carson it wasn't Robert. Robert and I are fine." Kym chuckled.

"Okay then what is it?" Kym dropped her hands on her legs and took a breath.
