One Call Away

{Chapter Twenty Three} I dragged myself from my bed and headed toward the bathroom, leaning over the toilet as I emptied my stomach. I wiped the back of my hand across my lips and flushed the toilet, slowly slipping down the floor.

I slid my hand over my mouth as I breathed raggedly and closed my eyes, shaking my head as I panted with an exhaustive sigh and a gasp. I moved my hand down my chin and touched my chest as I exhaled heavily.

I leaned down as I breathed in and out from my nose, pressing my lips together. I blinked my eyes slowly then repeatedly as my vision suddenly darken, my head moved around as my lips slowly parted.

I gulped down slowly as I licked my lips and tried to stand up but I felt drained and tired, like someone just took all my energy away from me. I don't want to be sick now, not when Khalid had bigger problems of his own, if he knew about me being sick he'll come back and I don't want that. His grandma needs him now.

I pushed myself up at that thought and gathered myself together as I stabled myself with a deep breath. I pushed my shirt down and froze, looking down as I raised my stomach. The thing I know is that before I slept last night my stomach was flat, and now it looks like I ate a baby watermelon. (See what I did there? Baby watermelon? No, okay....carry on.)

I brushed my fingertips across it and gripped it when I felt a sharp movement. "Wow, okay this is weird oh God. Ay, it hurts. Okay breathe Winter." I leaned up straight and took a deep breath, running circles across it. "You can do this. Okay, the best thing to relax is a warm bath."

I walked toward the tub and filled it with warm water, taking my clothes off as the water filled the tub. I turned off the handle and slid in, taking a deep breath as I closed my eyes and cringed. "Oh God what is this?"

I leaned my head against the edge of the tub and pressed my eyes together, my stomach stretching painfully. I arched my body with a cry and breathed in and out as I clutched at my stomach that was moving in different angles.

"Ay!" I stretched my neck with a grunt as I squeezed my hands in fists and gritted my teeth together. My feet slipped in the tub as I tried to find the best position but nothing worked, my hands squeezed the tub as I grunted in pain.

In my pain as I could, I leaned half out of the tub and scrambled through my clothes to find my phone. "Ay! Oh God. Let my baby be okay. Ay." I leaned back in the tub as I rested my head on the edge with an exhausted sigh and a breathless gasp.

I punched a couple of numbers in and it wasn't until I heard his voice I realized that I called him. "Winter? Are you okay?" He asked me with a sleepy voice and I cursed in my head, it was around 3 am in the morning where he was.

"I'm sorry I woke you up. I just...I don't want you to worry." I bit my bottom lip as I slowly pressed my lips together and gripped the phone with eyes pressed close. I tried to breath through it but the stretchy feeling was making me feel uncomfortable.

"Winter? Winter!" Khalid snapped from the other side of the phone but I couldn't answer him, my mouth was parted but nothing came out. I was focusing more on the pain than actually talking to him.

I squeezed my hands repeatedly as I exhaled deeply and sighed heavily. "I'm here, I'm....." I inhaled and exhaled breathy. "I'm in pain, my stomach is moving so much that it hurts. I don't know what's going on." I finally managed to tell him as I moved my hand inside of the water, gripping my stomach hard.

"Where are you? Are you with someone?" He asked me agitated and I knew that I shouldn't have called him. He'd worry about me instead of his grandma. I shook my head at him but then realized that he couldn't see me.
