Chapter 44

Mark and I have been married for about 4 years now. It has been absolutely perfect; sure we do fight occasionally, but what couple doesn't?
Mark came downstairs from recording a video and smiled as soon as he saw me. "There's my gorgeous wife!" He wrapped his arms around my back, picked me up, and spun me around in a circle. I laughed. "PUT ME DOWN!" I giggled. Setting me down, he kissed my forehead. "Have you finished everything?" I asked him, wrapping my arms around his neck. "No," he said putting his arms behind my back. I gave him a look. "Don't look at me like that!" He said with a smirk. "I wanted to spend time with my lovely. Is that so wrong?" He asked childishly.
I only sighed and smiled. I couldn't be mad when he talked like that.
"What's for dinner?" He asked. "YOU are having grilled chicken and I'm having some pasta and we BOTH are having it with mixed vegetables." I answered.
"You're still all 'plants good, meat bad.' aren't you?" Mark said.
"So what if I am?" I responded.
"That's it, you're going for a ride again."
He picked me up; but this time, slung me over his shoulder and spun me around.
"MARK!" I yelled. "I'm gonna be sick!"

After dinner, Mark and I retired to the couch for our usual relaxing. We turned a movie on, "Daddy Daycare."
About half way through the movie, I could feel my eyes getting sleepy. Soon, I was awoken to Mark shaking me gently. "I guess we should be getting to bed?" He said half asleep himself. I just nodded and slowly stood up. My stomach churned slightly as I moved and I held my stomach. "You okay, Jess?" He asked; putting his hand on my shoulder. "Yeah, I'm good. I think I just stood up too fast." I answered.

It was not from standing up too fast. I laid in bed with my stomach in knots. I was holding onto the edge of the bed so hard I thought I was gonna take a piece of it out. I was tossing and turning, gently enough to try and not wake the sleeping man next to me. I reached for my phone on the table next to me and checked the time. The phone was so bright I was afraid Mark would wake up. 2:46 am. Good Lord this pain was unbearable. Finally I had enough and I raced to the bathroom. My knees hit the floor in front of the toilet as what happened next was not a lovely time.
It was not even two minutes later that I heard a deep, rough voice. "Oh, Jess..." Mark said as he came to my side. My head still in the bowl, afraid to break the tie between me and the toilet. "Mark, just go back to sleep." I said. "No way in hell." He said. I looked up at him with a small smile, but soon quickly had to go back to the bowl. Mark brought the stray hairs in front of my face away and held them there as I finished. He then got a washcloth and ran some cool water over it. Placing it on the back of my neck, he rubbed my back for a quick second. "I'll be right back." He said and left the room; no sooner did he come back with the comforter from the bed along with a pillow. Sitting down behind me so his back was against the wall, he stuck he legs out. As I finished and got the strength to move, he aided me in moving over so I was sitting on his lap and put my head on his chest. He then took the comforter and put it over me. "Just relax," he said and he gently wrapped his arms around me. "I got you."
