The King, His Queen, and Princess

17.

Rose

When my eyes opened this morning I knew something was different. My mouth was dry and my stomach was twirling. A drop of sweat slid down my neck but I wasn't hot. My eyes wouldn't stay open they would automatically shut and my head was killing me. I glanced at the time on my phone and read it was 7:30.

My mouth started getting full of a thick saliva and we all know what that means. I got up from the bed trying not to disturb a sleeping Alessandro as I did so.

My knees banged against the floor in front of the toilet as I picked the toilet seat up and threw up into it.

It wouldn't stop and I even started crying because of how sick I felt.

"Baby!" Alessandro yells and then he runs into the bathroom. He kneels down behind me and holds my hair while I throw up more. When I feel like my stomach was empty enough, I wiped my mouth and flushed the toilet. I fell back into Alessandro's arms.

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to his chest. He held me while I cried.

Regret and embarrassment filled my body.

"It's okay,"

"No, it's not," My voice cracks as I try to stand. When I don't succeed Alessandro stands and helps me up.

I stumbled to the sink and stuck my toothbrush under the faucet. I brought it up to my mouth and when the toothpaste started foaming up I felt a bit better. I washed my mouth out after two minutes of scrubbing my mouth.

"Alessandro, can you get Alessa ready for school for me?" I ask softly and he nods before finishing with brushing his teeth. He left the room so I strip out of my pajamas to take a hot shower. I turned on the hot water of the shower and stepped in. I feel good with the water running down my body. All the alcohol and sweat went down the drain.

"Rosalie?" Twenty minutes into my shower, I heard Marco's voice and I almost jumped out of my skin. Since the shower is glass I wrapped my towel around me quickly as I shut the water off.

"Yes?" I stepped out the shower and came face to face with him. He had a glass of water in one hand and two gel pills in the second.

"Alessandro asked me to bring this to you," He clears his throat as he stares at my wet body that is wrapped in a small towel.

"Thank you," I grab the things from his hands and he gives me a quick kiss on my cheek. He leaves the room just as I am drinking the pills. I dried my body and put on a fresh clean pair of pajama shorts. I put on my most comfortable underwear and since there are men always walking around the house I always put on an oversized hoodie so they don't look at my body. I grabbed one of my tank tops and a pair of pajama pants.

I changed the sheets on the bed into a cleaner set. I changed the duvet and pillow cases as well. When I was done I literally dove into the bed. I fell back to sleep in seconds.

"Bye, Momma feel better," I feel Alessa's arms around me and I hug her tighter. I want to open my eyes but they are just so heavy from exhaustion.

"Bye, baby," I murmur and she kisses my cheek. I feel her tiny weight shift from on top of me and then she is gone. Then I feel Alessandro. He presses his lips to mine and he hugs me tightly.
