Kristen is waiting for Rob to come home – she doesn't know where he is, he just said he had to run some errands. She's lying on his couch as she struggles with the cramps hurting in her lower stomach.

"Fuck!" She cries when pain rolls through her. She hears the front door open and sits up straight immediately.

"Hey!" Rob calls out from their door-way.

"Hi," she calls back trying to cover the pain in her voice but fails when it cracks by the end.

"Where have you been?" Kristen asks as Rob walks to the couch with a bag in his hand and sits down next to her.

"I just got you some stuff," he says and smiles widely.
"Stuff? Like what?" She asks confused; the hurt from her cramps still weakening her voice.

"Oh you know, 'stuff'," he coos excited before he pulls the things in the bag out and places them in Kristen's lap.
She looks down and sees a heating pad, chocolate, two pints of mint-chocolate ice cream, a soft blanket and a bag of her favourite chips. Suddenly she realises that Rob knows a lot more about her than she thought.

"I... how... I... you... what?" she stumbles over the words feeling a little too exposed.

"We've been dating for three months now, and you don't think I've noticed when your 'time of the month' is?" Rob asks her as he reaches out to put a stray of hair behind her ear.

She's a little too silent making him panic directly.
"I'm sorry if you didn't want me to know, but I'd find out eventually anyway. I mean, when... you... we can't... when um... you... are you crying?" He speaks softly and strokes her cheek when he feels a tear on his finger.

"It's not that I didn't want you to know when it was, I just didn't have the balls to tell you. When I'd be ready and we'd have sex you'd found out within... well, four weeks, I just... I hoped you'd find out yourself before that time would come and you... did. But you didn't only rescue me for being ridiculously embarrassed when I'd have to tell you, you also made sure to take care of me when my stomach hurt like hell and I... I love you!" She explains when she realises what she'd just said, and that being for the first time.

"I love you!" She repeats and looks up at Rob for the first time in their conversation.

"I love you," he replies simply before he starts kissing her lips very softly.

"Let me wrap you in the blanket, do your heating pad and find a spoon for your ice cream, then I'll leave you alone the rest of the afternoon." He offers her a last smile before he gathers the things in her lap in his hands lays them on the table. He then takes the blanket and covers her with it.

"Rob?" Kristen asks with a tiny voice as he's wrapping her in the fabric.
"Yes?"
"Would you mind, instead of leaving me alone, then cuddling with me? I mean, of course the blanket and the heating pad is pretty warm but... you're hot!" She cheers while smiling and smirking at the same time.
"Okay so when pms-ing, cuddling is preferred over leaving you alone. Noted!" He says playfully and pecks her lips before he grabs the heating pad and heads to the kitchen.

When Rob's back on the couch with her, he puts the spoon on the coffee table before he lifts her shirt so he can put the now warm pad on her skin.

"I love you," Kristen moans as the heat softens her pains. He chuckles and brushes his nose against hers.
"You too," he replies and kisses her deeply.
When they pull away, Rob lifts the blanket and nuzzles into Kristen's side so he's covered as well. He gently pulls her up from the couch and slips underneath her so she can lie down in his lap. He starts humming while tracing soft patterns on her exposed stomach under the blanket.

"Rob?" She nearly whispers. He mumbles a silent "hmm" as allowing her to continue.
"When all this natural girl shit is over, I think I might be ready," she says even lower than before.
"But only if you want to do it, of course," she adds when he's been silent a little too long, and looks up at him.
"Okay," he replies simply and sends her a warming smile. She smiles back at him.

"Kristen?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."
