Daddy's still here.

Bonus: the news

JASON'S POV--

As I lay in bed next to my angel, I run my fingers through her hair and down her back. Letting them coast her sides and neck. Her skin is so warm and soft, it makes me burn inside. Though I'm sure that's just a guy thing. Hormones are crazy.

"Jason." Her breathes out in thick sleepiness.

"Yes?" I scoot closer and whisper.

"Cuddle me." Her blue eyes flutter open lazily and she turns into my chest, with no hesitation I wrap my arms around my beautiful wife.

She hums in satisfaction, a smile growing on my face. "I love you more than life." I kiss her hair and continue to trail my fingers down her back.

"I love you...too." She sleepy announces and my cheeks hurt from smiling.

I listen to her soft inhales as she falls back to sleep and I close my eyes, letting her heartbeat be my lullaby. When I open my eyes again, Abbie is gone, I flop backwards onto my back and spread out on the bed, stretching.

Abbie always does this stretch, she calls it the star fish. Taking a long, slow intake of air; I can faintly smell my loves shampoo. Faintly I hear the sound of the toilet flush through the bathroom door, than I hear one sound I was not expecting. The sound of someone puking. That unpleasant, stomach turning sound. And the only person other than me in this house is my Abbie.

I sit up fast and hurry into the bathroom, I gently grab her hair and rub her back as she stands on shaky legs with one arm around her stomach and the other braced on the wall behind the toilet.

"Shhh. I got you baby." I say trying to sooth her heaving body.

Once she's done, I slowly pick her up and sit her on the bathroom counter; then I grab her a glass of water and her tooth brush with toothpaste already on it. I wipe the hair stuck to her forehead away and tuck it behind her ear, her face a little pale and her eyes slightly watery. When she finishes brushing her teeth and drinks some water, I stand in between her legs and she wraps them around me, she leans her head on my chest.

"Come here baby." I lace my arms around her waist and she puts her arms around my neck.

With a quick movement I scoop her up and carry her towards the bed.

"Let's watch cartoons." She whispers.

"Ok love." I change directions and walk to the living room, sitting down on the couch with Abbie straddling my lap, her head nuzzled between my shoulder and neck.

I hold her to me, no words, no further actions. I just hold her tightly to me and listen to her breathing.

"Jason.." She whispers so softly I almost don't hear it.

"Yeah my love?"

She hesitates for a long time and my heart starts to race. Something is wrong.

"Baby, tell me please, your scaring me." I laugh nervously, holding her tighter.

"I'm the lucky one." She softly pecks the skin on my neck and I smile. Ever sense our first kiss, we've always argued that one was luckier than the other for finding each other.
