My Hero (A Liam Payne Fanfic)

Chapter 21

(4 months later)

Natalie's POV

The nauseous feeling woke me up again and I raced to the toilet to let it all out. Then I flushed and used water and mouth wash from the bathroom sink to rinse out my mouth while thinking What the fuck is going on with me?  For the past 4 weeks I have been waking up always puking out all my food from the day before. At first I thought I just ate something weird but I was beginning to throw up all the foods I love that my stomach can handle. And I'm also always feeling hungry-causing me to eat more then throw it all up the next morning. I also have been getting extremely tired and moody. Even when I take naps it doesn't help and I hate being moody to my husband. I've been apologizing to Liam for all my moodiness and doing all I can to make it up him, despite Liam telling me I don't need to make up for my "womanly tones" as he calls them. Another strange thing I've noticed is that my period hasn't come at all and since I keep track of it, I know it's supposed to be here by now. I'm not complaining about not having my period, but I'm also worried since my body isn't acting the way it's normally supposed to.

"Babe are you getting sick again?" Liam asked, coming up to me all dressed for work. "Yes" I told him. "Natalie if you're not feeling well maybe you should take a day off of work and rest and I should also stay home to take care of you" Liam offered sweetly. "No I'll be fine Liam. It's just like all the times before. I just throw up in the morning then am fine for the rest of the day. Besides me and you have to go to work. I'll just call and tell them I'll be a bit late so I can take some time to get ready and look presentable" I told him. "Are you sure Natalie?" He asked. "Yes I am. Now get going or you'll be late" I told him. I gave Liam a quick kiss which is something we always do before we leave for work and he was soon on his way. Milo went through the dog door to go into the yard to do his business and I put food and water into his and Tiger's dog and cat bowls. Then I called the veterinarian office I work at to tell them I would be a little late because of temporarily puking. They said that was fine and I hung up to get ready. I changed into my work clothes, brushed my hair, put on a bit of makeup, ate a granola bar for a quick, small breakfast, and really brushed my teeth and used mouth wash to get rid of the pucky smell in my mouth. I put on my coat, hat, and gloves, grabbed my lunch from the refrigerator and my keys then got into the car and drove to work.

Once I got there, I clocked in and went to my place, apologizing to one of my coworkers for being late. She was covering my first appointment for me until I got in and she has been volunteering to everytime I've been calling in saying I'll be late. Her name is Sabrina and we've become close friends being coworkers and working the same job at the same place for 3 years. After Sabrina finished the appointment, I took over and let her go back to her place. I was feeling a little light headed and dizzy while giving Mrs. Dobbin's rottweiler a checkup and giving Mr. Man's cat a vaccine. I don't know why I was feeling this way but I pushed through it. I was already late and I didn't want to have to call off early and make Sabrina or my other coworkers cover my appointments. That wasn't fair to them-they had their own appointments to worry about and that also meant less hours for me.

4 hours later, while I was on my lunch break Sabrina came up to me and asked "Got sick again huh?" "Yeah. Threw up this morning. The usual" I told her. Because we're good friends I feel comfortable telling her more personal things. Sabrina knows that I've been throwing up each morning for the past 4 weeks and not being able to figure out why. I've also told her about Liam and how he is an amazing husband and how we fell in love and got together. Sabrina absolutely loves when I tell the story and says how lucky I am. We also like a lot of the same things like celebrities, TV shows, foods, clothes, makeup brands, our careers, and many more. Sabrina is a year older than me and told me how she was happily married to her husband who she loves to death and how they have 3 kids and an adorable husky. She showed me a picture of her husky Alexia-who is an absolutely gorgeous 4 year old dog and so cute and I showed her pictures of Milo and Tiger that she liked too. She also showed me pictures of her 2 daughters and her son who were 14, 10, and 5. Sabrina's daughters looked just like her and her son looks like her husband-who she has also showed me a picture of.
