Emilys POVI woke up in the tent to hearing retching coming from outside the tent.
I get out of the tent, and see Ali hunched over and holding her stomach, about fifteen feet away from me, vomiting.
I smile.
I walk over there, and rub her back as she begins to calm down.
"It'll be okay, baby." I say softly.
She takes deep breaths to keep from crying.
She walks back to our car, and grabs a water bottle, and mint gum, and rinses her mouth out.
"Good morning." I say, and kiss her cheek.
She just shakes her head and helps pick up our camp stuff.
We go home and clean up a little bit.
"When do you go back to work?" I ask her.
"In a week." She says, as she makes us some breakfast.
"And you'll remember to relax, right?" I say.
"Yes" She says, annoyed.
Today is one of those days.
"I'm going to go pick up Lily and Asher from my moms house, do you want to come with?" I ask.
"No. I'll just relax here." She says, and bites into a piece of bacon.
"Okay, will the rest be ready by the time I get back with the kids?" I ask.
"Yeah." She says, and starts making more bacon.
That's like one of her biggest cravings.
"I'm not making scrambled eggs by the way!" She yells as I walk out the door. I giggle and shake my head.
I drive to my moms house, and I knock on the door, then enter.
"Kids, I think mama and mommy are here." My mom says to them.
I hear squeals coming from the living room and then footsteps.
"Mama! Mommy!" I head Lily yell happily.
"Where's mommy?" Asher asks.
"She's at home, making breakfast. C'mon, let's go and then we can get some." I say.
They get their things packed.
"Thank you mom, for watching them." I say.
"It was no problem. Really. I love spending time with them. And I can't wait to have another new grand baby! I'm so excited!" She says, and hugs me.
"We're excited too." I say, as we pull away.
"I bet. Thank you, Emmy." She says.
"For what?" I ask.
"For giving me them, and you and Ali. And the new baby. I'm just so happy with how your life turned out." She says.
"I am too, mom." I say, smiling as my kids run up to me with their backpacks on and big smiles on their faces, hugging me.
I kneel down and give them hugs and kisses.
"Okay, let's hurry home! Mommy really misses you guys." I say, and grab their hands.
"I miss mommy too." Asher says.
"You'll see her soon." I say, and kiss his forehead.
I help them into their car seats, then I drive cautiously home to Ali.
