Happily Never After

Chapter 18

My eyes snapped open as the nightmare I had ended. It was the same one I had in Japan, but it was more mild. I only woke up shivering with sweat running down my forehead, no screaming and no fear. I looked down at Taemin, who was sleeping with a smile on his face, his breathing light and even.

"Kinzie what are you doing up?" A voice from the other bed asked me quietly. I looked to see Jonghyun sitting there, his phone lighting his face up. He gave me a sideways smile when he saw that I had quickly wrapped the blanket around my naked body, "been busy I see." I rolled my eyes.

"If you must know, I had a nightmare." I smirked, "and as for how 'busy' I've been. That's for me to know and you to wonder about." He laughed and turned his phone off.

"Goodnight little princess." He said as he pulled the blankets over his head.

"Yeah goodnight." I laid back down and turned to face the wall, my back to Tae. I sighed and closed my eyes, soon feeling Tae's arm flop over me. I scooted so the I was completely engulfed in his arms, falling back to sleep.

"I'm sure you're fine baby. It's just a little virus I'm sure." Taemin said as we waited in the doctors office. I didn't respond and played with a loose string on my coat. I had thrown up three mornings in a row and I felt funny, so Taemin insisted that he take me to the doctor.

"Kinzie Middleton." The nurse called. I got up and followed her to a room where she made me sit on this examining table. Tae sat in the other chair and watched as the last put a pressure pad around my arm.

"Ah and how are we feeling today?" She asked as she pumped air into the pad, causing it to squeeze my arm.

"Nauseous." I replied. She wrote down my blood pressure and took the pad off.

"Well were here to fix that." She then stuck a light in my ear, checking everything in there, "how long have you been feeling nauseous?"

"For about three days. Every morning I wake up and puke but then I'm fine." She gave me a questioning look but continued to examine me.

"Ok ma'am please step on this scale so we can get your weight." I did as I was told and stepped on the scale, "115 pounds, perfect weight." She smiled and sat me back on the examining table.

"Ok the doctor will be right in." She left Tae and I alone. I didn't look at him and started to play with my fingernails.

Tae's P.O.V.

Kinzie bit her lip nervously and started to play with her fingernails. I walked over to her and lifted her head so she was looking at me.

"Jayiga, don't worry. You'll be fine." I saw worry in her eyes and I couldn't help but start to worry myself. I gave her a kiss on her full lips and squeezed her small frame, "it'll be fine." The door opened again and the doctor walked in.

"Ah Kinzie." He said. I released her and sat back down.

Kinzie's P.O.V.

"Ok so I'm sorry but we have to take some blood and you need to pee in a cup for us." The doctor said as he brought up my file on the computer. I groaned. I hated needles, and having to pee in a cup. The doctor gave me a cup and a paper to give to the laboratory so I could get my blood drawn.

"It will take a few days to analyze the data, but once we know what's wrong with ya, we'll call you." I thanked him and went to the bathroom, letting Tae give the lab my paper.

"How are you feeling?" Key asked as I sat watching TV alone int the living room. I shrugged and continued to flip through the channels. He handed me a sprite and sat down next to me. I opened the can and took a sip, hoping that it would settle my stomach.
