The entire night all I heard was Hailey jump out of bed and run into the bathroom to throw up. This morning sickness has been a real bitch for her and I was really hoping that the gynecologist could give her some kind of relief. When she got back in the bed with me all she did the entire time was toss and turn beside me. Worried about her I pulled into my arms and wrapped them around her, with her head resting against my chest.

I could feel her fast heartbeat as she tried to relax against me. Her breathing was starting to even out and wondered what the hell was going on with her. As we laid there I could see the slow stream of sunlight that was coming in through the bedroom window.

As Hailey laid there beside me I could tell that she had passed out and was now sleeping peacefully for the time being. Releasing her from my hold, I rolled over onto my other side and grabbed the alarm clock that Hailey had purchased and saw that it was 7 a.m. so, I decided to get up and make some coffee since I was up anyways.

I rolled back over and faced Hailey and gave her a kiss on the cheek, and then pulled the blankets off of me and got out of the bed and went into the shower, quickly taking a piss and then jumping into the shower for a quick wash. Once finished, I dried off and wrapped a towel around my lower half and went back into the bedroom where I quietly dressed and grabbed my phone off the charger, and then went into the kitchen.

Placing my phone onto the kitchen island I walked over to the new coffee maker and placed a k-cup inside and sat my coffee cup down underneath the spout and started it up. As I turned to grab my phone from where I had sat it I heard the sound of Hailey yawn and then saw her walk into the kitchen.

As soon as she got into the kitchen she walked over to where I was and wrapped her arms around me and placed her head against me. With my free hand I brushed through her blonde hair and heard her ask. "What are you doing up so early?"

I removed my hand from her hair and then placed it against her back, and then replied. "Eh, I couldn't sleep. So, I figured that I would get up early and get a head start on the day."

"Are you sure that it wasn't me getting up and running to the bathroom to puke every five or ten minutes the real reason why you couldn't sleep?" She asked.

"I'm sure, sweetheart. It worried me a bit, but, me not being able to sleep wasn't your fault." I answered, reassuringly

She smiled at me and then asked, "So, what's for breakfast?"

I thought about it for a second and then asked. "Do you think that you can stomach waffles and some bacon?"

Hailey nodded and then replied, "Yeah, I think I can."

I knew that I didn't have any waffle mix. Hell, I didn't even have a waffle maker, but. I did have some frozen blueberry waffles leftover in the freezer from when I got stuck babysitting Aleksei's daughter a few weeks back. I opened the freezer and pulled out the box of waffles and then turned and looked at Hailey and asked. "Will blueberry waffles be alright."

"Yeah, those will be fine. I love blueberry waffles." She answered as she waited by the coffee maker for her coffee to finish brewing.

With that said, I placed the box of frozen waffle down beside the toaster, and then went and opened the fridge and grabbed the pack of bacon and then closed it. Once my items were collected I placed four waffles into the toaster and started it. And then took the bacon over to the stove and placed it down on the counter and then grabbed a small skillet from the rack and placed it on the stove and placed several strips of bacon in it and turned on the stove.

The combination of the bacon cooking in the skillet and the smell of the golden-brown waffles as they popped up in the toaster, brought a delightful aroma to the kitchen.
