Miracle in two Weeks

Chapter ten

"I feel like crap , I hate being sick. While pregnant " I told Ali as I crawled out of bed . I know not much you. Can do. .. he told me as I pulled on my cloths for work . During the last month Deanna had went home and we had settled in to a normal routine. I was seeing the OB once a month for the baby and working . The past week I had been sick and already missed three days of work . I had to go to work now because if I missed one more day then I would be fired.

" this truly sucks, because I feel really bad today ." I said , barely able to stand .
" just do your best" he told me.
I kissed Ali bye and headed down stairs. At work I clocked in and went to find a supervisor to see which register I would be working on. Aly came walking up and looked at me

" you look bad " she said .

" yea I feel like shit but got to be here if I want a job" I responded. After checking the schedule She gave me my register number and I walked off. I was logging in to my register and could feel the fever so bad, I  could not stop sneezing and coughing. After awhile I reached the point I felt like I was going to pass out , I called for Steve the other supervisor to come.
" Whats up " he asked me.
" I hate to do this but I am so sick I just need to go to the restroom for a minute" I told him . Steve took over ringing out my customers And i headed into the bathroom to call my husband.

" hi baby " I said when Ali answered.
" hello " he said .
" honey I'm sorry I know I need this job  but I am so sick and I feel like I'm going to pass out ." I told him , tears welling up in my eyes.
" well if you can't do it just go home " he told me . 
" I just don't want you to be upset with me over it if I get fired."
" no it's ok , you don't need to suffer " Ali told me.
"Ok honey, I love you. "
"I love you too. " he said and closed the call.
I put cool water on my face to try to help with the warmth i was feeling and went out to tell Steve I had to go.
I was just to sick, Being pregnant made it worse because I couldn't take any medication.  Steve told me just to bring a slip from the doctor and maybe they will accept it. I told him thank you and walked away to clock out. I  got in the car to go home, I just knew that they would let me go and it upsets me.
When they fired me the next day I told them that it was fine , that I understand why and handed them my badge. I did like my job and the people I worked with but things happen that we can't control.
For month I tried putting in applications at other jobs but I guess no one wanted to hire a pregnant woman .

I enjoyed being home these days but felt guilty for not contributing to the expenses. I didn't want to put it all on Ali but he kept telling me he was fine with it.
After a month or two my husbands brother Rob came to stay with us for a few months , I did not mind as he helped with the cooking at times. 
Rob was usually gone with his friend during most days so i still had time to myself.
During these days I was getting bigger and feeling more and more tired and in pain .  It was getting harder to sleep at night from the pain in my hips , I would end up being up most of the night.
My desire for Ali had become more intense, I just couldn't get enough of him. " hey sweetie do you want to make love tonight ? " I asked . I had put on a sexy black night gown with gold and black lace he bought me. "Not tonight , I'm tired." He responded. "Are you sure you don't want my hotness. " I asked with a sheepish grin. " we just made love the day before yesterday,you don't need it all the time. " he said . " I can't help I'm in the mood a lot , it's hormones. Ali said maybe tomorrow but tonight im just so  tired , i kissed him and told him it was ok. I turned out the light, we rolled over to fall  asleep.
