P Is Silent.

chapter 24

I woke up when I was shoved and barely managed to stay ontop of the bed. Looking around, I found Vero trashing around.

At first I panicked, I didn't know what was going on. "Are you ok... ok that came out wrong. ...what's wrong? You need a doctor? " I asked her, I'm sure my face looked scared shitless, she tossed and turned some more,  her eyes shut, I thought perhaps she was having a nightmare until I heard her mumbling.

"S...Sto.....mach. .." I frowned at that until I saw her holding onto her stomach,  like she wanted to rip it, that's when I realized what was wrong. "shit" cursing under my breathe I looked around the house to try and figure out what to do....ofcause her period would decide this very time to pitch up, just when we had a predicament to deal with in the castle.

What to do ...what to do.....by now I'm sure I looked like a headless chicken ....pacing around trying to find a way to ease her pain.

Wait...Google has the answer right...or that's what it said... grabbing my phone with shaky hands like I was about to witness child birth (ok maybe I was being a sissy right now. .but she looked like she was in really really awful pain.) But to my luck the phone was off, I stared at the blank screen as if it was going to light up soon.

"Get....Grey." her voice got me out of my stance in no time, with out thinking, I dropped the phone somewhere and made my way to her, " listen..it's..it's gonna be ok... hold on..I...I ...ok laptop."

Rushing to the laptop that was out on top of the counter in the mini kitchen on her wing, I quickly typed 'how to cue period pain'.. the first thing that popped up almost made me want to bang my head against the wall....there in big bald latter...there is no cue for period pains... I looked at it annoyed, ofcause they can invent spaceship not a damn pill to cure monthly pains.

I was about to close the damn thing, it wasn't helping anyway.. then my eye caught a link...quickly pressing it, it directed me to the site tittle " ways to reduce period pains"

I scrolled down, some of this ideas where out of this world, some suggested ingesting painkillers, ingestion of birth control pills... what the.... and then at the bottom of the page it said...a warm towel or watter bottle at the back can ease the pain and strain, most effective with ingestion of warm liquids and a back massage.

Although I didn't trust the internet, the method seemed harmless.. so i got up and stated preparing all that I needed, before that I had to call Fiona, apologized for waking her up at 4 in the morning asking about winter water bottles.

Fiona Sounded like she was halfway sleeping,  with here directions I walked all the way to main entrance of the castle, rampage throw the closet at the door to find the water bottle that was stashed deep withing, probably waiting for winter to begin.

When I walked back to her room, she was kneeling down next to the toilet in her green silk nightdress, her arms shaking as I she would collapse under her own body weight.

" it's going to be ok." I was freaking out perhaps a little too much but I hadn't seen a women in that much pain before... and the last time this had happened it was at night and as soon as she fell asleep it seem to die down.

Today however she wasn't going to sleep seing that is was already morning. I held her, helping her walk back to the bed.
"Lay down for a while I will be back" I went to get her warm water to drink.

She was still clutching to her stomach when I came back. " drink, then lay face down, I will make feel better for you ok." 

I watched her drink the warm water before she laid face down. Then I placed the hot water bottle in the middle of her lower back and started to massage her waist.

She sighed in content before letting out a soft thank you.

"Is she still not feeling well." The king asked.. he along with the queen, Adeline come knocking down doors, Fiona in front to see Vero earlier on, the queen looked worried and decided to stay with her forthe rest of the day while the king and I tackled the problem at hand.

"Yes, but she's feeling much better now, she should be fine by sunset." I told him with. He looked at me for a moment before he spoke. "I was disappointed when she told me that you two were engaged. ..but for what it's worth, I give you my blessings to marry my daughter, this coming from a father not a king." I smiled at him before nodding.

"She's one of a kind." I told him. Before Vero fell sick, I had discussed  the plan on how we were going to catch the thief, we had called a few people to track the money but it seemed hard to, I knew well who did this, now all we had to do was lay out the perfect trap to catch him.
