Something In The Way

36. Lithium

"Holy shit," I said as I looked at the test. Krist grabbed it from me and looked at it.

"Told you so," Krist replied as he put the test on the bed.

"Atleast Eric won't catch it," I said as I grabbed it and went to the bathroom. I put the test back in the box, put it under the sink and walked back out just as Dave walked in with Eric.

"Feeling better beautiful?" Dave asked as he gave Eric to Krist so he could come voer to me.

"Ya I am. Just need something to eat I guess," I replied with a small smile.

"You actually want to eat?" Dave asked as he put his hands on my arms and looked at me.

"Ya. Kinda straving actually," I responded.

"I will make you whatever you want. Spaghetti, chicken nuggets, corn dogs, hot dogs, pizza pockets, you name it," Dave said.

"Corn dogs would be nice," I replied.

"Ok. How many you want? 12?" Dave asked getting excited.

"Maybe just 4 to start," I replied with a smile. Dave kissed my forehead before runnign out of the room to go make me food.

"When did you last eat?" Krist asked.

"Last week. Everything I eat just seems to come out these days," I replied as I sat back down on the bed. Krist handed me Eric and I hugged him tightly.

"You gonna tell him tomorrow?" Krist asked as we heard Dave singing in the kitchen.

"I'll tell him as soon as it turns midnight," I replied as I rocked Eric back and forth.

"I should probably head home for the night. I'll see you at the airport early tomorrow," Krist said as he gave me a one armed hug. "I'll see you in a few days little dude," Krist said as he gently shook Eric's foot. Eric yawned in response.

"We're both gonna miss uncle Krist and uncle Kurt and daddy," I said as I waved Eric's hand as Krist walked out of the room. I sat there rocking Eric until he fell asleep. I got up and put him in his crib. I walked out to the living room after grabbing the teddy bear from our room as Dave walked out fo the dining room.

"You could have stayed in bed,' Dave said as I walked over to the couch. He joned me as I got back under the blanket I had been under before he got home.

"I'd rather be out here. Cuddling on the couch watching a movie with my man," I replied.

"Dirty Dancing or Pretty In Pink?" Dave asked as he stood up and walked over to the tv.

"Pretty In Pink please," I said as I picked up the plate of corndogs Dave put on the coffee table. I took a bite out of one and almost melted inside. It tasted amazing. Dave sat back down as the movie started. He put an arm on the back of the couch and I cuddled up to him with my teddy bear and corndogs. He put his arm around me as I took another bite out of the corndog I was eating.

"Want a bite?" I asked as I held it out for him.

"I love you but I already kicked this thing. You are on your own," Dave replied.

"I'm nto sick I'm......" I stopped myself and my eyes went wide.

"You're what? Crazy?" Dave asked, making a joke.

"Nothing. It doesn't matter," I said before I took another bite.

"Brittany Suzan Grohl we do not keep secrets from each other. What are you?" Dave asked.

"You can't wait til midnight?" I asked, giving him a "Please cut me a little slack and wait" look.

"Why midnight?" he asked.
