Chapter 38

Peter POV

I wake up to find Jakie not next to me and I roll over in confusion. The bathroom door is wide open and I see her throwing up in the toilet. I jump out of bed and hold up her hair so it doesn't get all messy. 

"JJ? You okay, Love?"  I asked rubbing her back with the hand that's not occupied.

"Just fine," She groans and leans over the toilet again.

"Should I get Emily?" I ask as she appears in the doorway clutching her stomach and leaning on the doorway for support.

"I think I'm done," Jakie says as I back away and let her rest against the wall.

"I'm still gonna get you some Gatorade, don't worry... I know you like the fruit punch," I laugh.

"Thank you," She mumbles using the counter to help herself up and closing the toilet to sit down on it, letting herself regain strength probably.

"Anytime, love," I say with a smile and she flinches. "I'm sorry," I mutter taking her hands in my own and placing a kiss on her knuckles.

"It's fine," She reveals as a tear slides down her face. I wipe it away with the pad of my thumb and she smiles a bit.

"I'm sorry," I repeat as I let go of her hands to get her the drink from the kitchen.

"It's okay," I hear her call out.

"You good up there man?" Sam asks from his chair at the table. 

"Yeah. Jakie got sick again," I reply and he nods in understanding.

"Oh," He shrugs. 

"Morning," Jo yawns coming into the kitchen and sitting on Sam's lap.

"Morning," We respond in unison and she chuckles a bit as she pours herself a cup of coffee. 

"How'd you all sleep?" She asks.

"Good," I respond. 

Emily and Jakie walk into the room while grabbing themselves cups of coffee.

"So I was thinking... We could go to the cliff. Nothing harmful. Or... that camping trip you guys had in mind," Jakie smiles.

"I'm down. But I don't have anything to wear," Jo says with a frown.

"I have some stuff," She grins and leads her to our room.

"Jakie... I don't think you have anything that'll fit me!" Emily complains and shuffles up the stairs holding onto the banister for dear life.

"Then look in your drawer!" She yells.

Emily POV

I look in my bathing suit drawer and can't find anything that'll possibly fit over my growing baby bump. I groan in annoyance and hear Jakie softly knock on my door.

"You okay in here?" She asks.

"I don't have anything that'll fit me," I grumble and she chuckles at me.

"We can go to the store and get you something. Or you could just sit and read or listen to music," She suggests and I lean in to hug her. It's awkward because of my stomach but we make do.

"Thanks," I beam as I pull away.

"We should get going. I don't want to spend more time than I have to at anywhere but the cliff," I urge.

"Okay," She says and we head back downstairs to see Jo in a black, bathing suit and some swim shorts, Peter in some spiderman swim shorts, and Sam in some black trunks.

We head to the store to quickly buy me a new pair of bathing suits. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How long does it take to get a bathing suit?" I hear Peter complain from outside the store.

"A while," Jo responds and I can sense the smirk on her face.

"How 'bout this one?" I ask Jakie as I step out of the changing room.

"I don't love it," She replies looking at the floral one piece.

"Okay... Can you get a solid color one? Black preferably," I ask.

"On it," She says and walks away to look at other bathing suits for me. "Do you like this one?" She asks holding up a black bathing suit with a low back and crisscrosses covering it.

"I love it!" I squeal as I spin around in front of the mirror taking in my image. It kind of accentuates my stomach but not out of my comfort zone. We get it in a couple different sizes for when I get bigger and pay for them.

"Done?" Sam asks as we walk towards them with the shopping bag on my arm.

"Sure," I smile.

"Good. I want to go swimming," Peter inputs.
