THE FOLLOWING DAY

EMILYS P.O.V

"Stop arguing with me, while you are on bed rest I am not going to work," Daniel said.

"Daniel I'm fine," I said sitting up.

"No, Trish said bed rest and you can't do anything so I'll do it for you," he said.

"Daniel....."

".......Emily, I've already called in sick. Now go back to sleep," he said stroking my hair. "I am going shopping, don't leave this bed!"

"Mhm, I'm probably going to sleep the whole time anyway," I said closing my eyes.

"Good, call me if you need anything," he said.

"Ok."

I closed my eyes and heard the door close down stairs, the house went silent. Maybe I could sneak out while he was gone, but I was so warm and comfortable. Maybe I would sleep.

My head hit the pillow and I was out.

..........................................................

2 HOURS LATER

My eyes snapped open the a loud bang. It sounded like a door being slammed closed.

"Daniel?" I called out.

No reply.

"Daniel?!" I called again.

"Em?! Is something wrong?" He asked bolting into the bedroom.

"Nothing," I said exhaling deeply.

"Why were you calling me?"

"There was a massive bang and when you didn't reply the first time I didn't know who was down stairs," I said.

"Ok, can I get you anything?" He asked.

"Just some water would be great," I said sitting up against the head board.

"I'll be back in a second," he said leaving the room.

Moments later he returned with a glass of water.

"How are you feeling," he asked handing me the water and sitting down next to me.

"I fell great," I said rubbing my hand over my stomach.

"Good."

"Do I have to stay in bed?" I whined.

"Em, do we have it argue, it's doctors orders," he said.

"Argh, I feel fine though!" I said.

"I know but you need to worry about the baby," he said.

"Daniel I am worried about the baby, but I feel fine and I can tell that the baby is fine," I said.

"Well I'm still not letting you leave the bed until trish says you can," He said.

"I hate you," I joked.

"I love you to," he said.

He rubbed his hand over my stomach as his phone began to ring.

"Hi mum," he said picking it up.

Silence............

"She's on bed rest with the preeclampsia," he said.

Silence again...........

"No exceptions, if you want to see her you need to come here," he said.

Great, I'm guessing Victoria would want to see me.
