I woke up to the pain of cramps rushing through my body. I groaned and rolled over, reaching my hand out for Ed to feel his warmth. But I only found a cold and empty bed.

I frowned and got out from under the warm blanket,swinging my legs over the bed, my hand clutched to my stomach. "Ed?" I called out for him, hoping for a response. When nobody answered I made my way down into the kitchen to make tea. As I took a mug out of the cupboard I suddenly noticed a folded paper on the counter. The note was from Ed and it read:

" Good morning, Honey! I went out to get some stuff. I'll be back soon. Love you! xxx
- Ed -

I smiled to myself, but it faded when another wave of sharp pain rushed through my stomach.

"Damn you, Mother Nature", I cursed through gritted teeth. "I wish I wasn'r born female."
I left the tea in the kitchen and went straight into the living room where I immediately slumped down on the sofa and curled up in a ball. I took some deep breaths, trying to stop the discomfort in my abdomen. Pretty soon my eyelids became very heavy, even though I've just woken up. But before I could doze off, I heard the front door being opened, followed by Ed's voice.

"Alice, I'm back!" He called and came rushing in with some big bags in his hand. He brushed his hair out of his face and smiled at me. "I didn't wake you up, did I?"

"No no, I was awake. Just resting my eyes a bit," I said, sitting up. Ed placed the bags on the table and sat down next to me. He placed a soft kiss on my cheek. "Where have you been?" I asked curiously.

"Oh, I just got you some stuff!" He opened the bags and revealed the things inside. "Chocolate, ice cream, some magazines and some...uhm lady products, you know." He rubbed the back of his neck and blushed a bit.

"Thank you, Teddy!" I smiled, lightly pecking his soft lips. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and hugged me tight. I groaned and grabbed my stomach, feeling a new rush of pain. "Darling, are you okay?" he asked concerned. I shook my head and whimpered.

"Stomach pain," I mumbled.

"Okay, okay, let's go lie down, yeah?" He picked me up  and carried me to our bedroom where he placed me on the still unmade bed and lay down next to me, pulling the blankets over us. He carefully placed one warm hand on my stomach and looked down. "Does it hurt bad?" he asked.

"Yeah," I mumbled. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer.
"It's okay, I'll take care of you. Just close your eyes and get some rest," he told me, carefully rubbing my belly, trying to sooth the cramps. Normally, I wouldn't let anyone near my stomach when it was my timevof the month. But Ed's hand were magic somehow and he always got me relaxed under his touch and I sighed in relief. "I love you, Teddy," I whispered.

"Love you more, Honey."
