What he doesn't know won't hurt him

James POV

The silence was unbearable as the question hung unanswered. It laid over the room like a down filled duvet, intensifying the slightest sound made and creating an atmosphere of tension.

'Oh god what am I going to say? The truth is not an option...but I still don't want to lie him. *huff* Well I guess the lie wins today.'

"Ok James you're kinda getting me a little bit worried here...is everything ok?"

"Em...yes the doctor just said I was suffering from slight iron deficiency and that after two weeks or so of taking iron tablets, I'll be as good as new." I said putting a smile on to hide my nervousness.

"Are you sure that's all it is?" Lockey pestered still looking concerned.

I really need to learn how to lie better.  'Well Here it goes.'

"Well, she also said that the lack of iron in my system may upset my stomach for awhile, so I may still have some vomiting and what-not until my body gets used to it.  Other than that I'm sure...now how about we have a nice dinner and just watch a movie on Netflix for the night? I mean if that's okay with you and since you are home early for once." I rambled in one breath

'Ok That sounded much more believable and covers the morning sickness.Good job!!'

"Well, if you're up for it then that sounds like a great plan, We could just order in. Date night at home?" Lockey suggested his usual smile plastered back onto his face, now fully convinced.

"That sounds perfect" I agreed, totally relieved that he hadn't caught onto my lie.

"Okay I'll be back in a second, you pick a movie while I go order the food," Lockey said before racing to the cupboard where the fast food leaflets were stored. Turning on the TV, I clicked on the Netflix app and searched for a suitable movie for the night. Picking the movie "Love And Other Drugs",  I patiently waited for Lockey to return so we could start the movie.

"Okay the pizza should be here in a few minutes so... let the date night begin!" Lockey yells throwing himself onto the couch before pressing the play button on the remote. Wrapping an arm around my shoulders , he hugged me close to his body and started rubbing circles on my stomach. Tensing up, I tried to swallow down the big lump in my throat as he rubbed my abdomen where a baby, unknown to him, was growing .

'Oh god he's going to notice.'

"Baby, are you okay?" he whispered lovingly against my ear.

Trying to calm myself down, I leaned into his side and took a deep breath, immediately feeling safe and secure in his arms. This comfort was exactly what I needed. His strong frame holding me steady and secure. He made me feel strong, special and without him I don't  know where I'd be.

"Yeah I'm fine". Getting back to the movie, I soon lost myself in it until there was a knock on the door.

"That should be the pizza. I'll be back in a second" Lockey said as he rushed off to answer the door. I continued watching the movie until he came back with the pizza. Getting up off the couch, I rushed into kitchen to grab some plates and the jar of pickles I had recently bought. Placing the plates and pickles on top of the coffee table I carefully sat down beside Lockey and started to pile slices of pizza on each plate. As I watched him digging into his meal, I swiftly opened the jar of pickles and plucked out two. Closing the jar, I hungrily wrapped the slice of pizza around the pickle and took a giant bite out of it.

'This is pure heaven!'

Turning to look at Lockey I noticed the horrified look that was plastered on his face, as he stared back at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, my mouth full of pizza and pickle.

"How the hell can you eat that?" He asked, pointing at the pickle wrapped with pizza, in my hand, clearly revolted by the idea.

"I don't know. I just have this strange cravings for pickles".

"Well I've got to tell you...that's one disgusting craving you have there," he proclaimed before shoving some more pizza down his throat.

"Well mind your own business and leave me and my pickles alone." I said pouting, before continuing on eating the weird invention in my hand.

After our greasy meal, we decided to play some scrabble since the movie was long over and we weren't tired yet.

Being the one to start off the game I played the word BEGIN with the letter N on the little pink star which scored me a total of 22 points.

Looking up at Lockey with confidence written all over my face, I was surprised to see a smug expression on his. Rearranging his letters he played the word JINXED with the J on a double letter score giving him the total score of 30 points.

'Damn it, he's beating me?'

"That's no fair you tricked me!" I accused him trying to make it seem like he actually did.

"Now how could I have possibly tricked you if I didn't say anything?" Lockey asked looking amused by my accusation.

'Shit..shit..shit..'

"Y-you, y-you... Oh I don't know how !  All I know is that you tricked me...somehow and that's not fair," I confirmed before nodding my head in agreement with myself.

"Okay...let's just continue on with the game and I promise not to trick you again your Royal highness." Lockey cooed bowing his head in fake curtesy.

"Better!" I agreed before playing the word SWEATIER using up all of my letters. 22 points plus another 20 points means I have 42 points now.

'Yay! I'm beating him now.'

Furrowing his brows in deep concentration Lockey plays the word HUMID on a double-word score, using the D of JINXED. Another 40 points is added to his 30 points giving him a total score of 70 points.

'Jesus Christ, I give up! He's unbeatable.'

"Give up yet?" He asked with his signature smirk on his face.

"Yesssss," I exaggerated, dropping down on the floor and using my hand to cover my eyes in exhaustion.  "How are you so good at this game?"

"I don't know. Maybe I'm just extraordinarily good with words?" Lockey says teasingly.

"Yeah may-" I yawn halfway disrupting my sentence " You know what, could we just call it an early night... I suddenly feel so tired." I asked softly as my eyes drooped sleepily, threatening to pull me into the awaiting darkness.

"Awh...are you alright?" Lockey asked in concern, placing his hand on my head to feel my temperature.

"Yeah I'm fine.. I-I think maybe all the sleepless nights of puking have finally caught up with me, though."

"Yeah maybe," Lockey said gently, stroking my hair in a soothing manner. "Would you like me to carry you up to bed? Because in your current state...I don't believe you'd  be able to walk up them stairs on your own"

"Yes please," I agreed, yawning loudly once again. Standing up in a swift manner, he carefully lifted me up bridal style and started walking up the staircase to the bedroom. Dozing in and out of consciousness, I didn't notice we'd entered the room until the soft pillow depressed beneath my back. As he pulled off my jeans and stripped me to my boxers, I let my sleep deprived eyes lazily scan over Lockey, as he smoothly climbed into bed after folding all my clothing.

"Sleep baby, you need it." Lockey said holding me close to his chest. Intertwining my legs with his, I lulled myself to sleep in the warmth of his arms, basking in the soft whispers of 'I love you' until the darkness finally took over.
