I felt the side of the bed Zoey slept on and she wasn't there. I only heard vomiting. I came in late this morning from work and was really tired. I had to force myself out of bed and go to the bathroom where she was bent over the toilet on her knees.
When i knew she was done, i sat on the floor and pulled her down, holding her in my arms. I knew she was probably feeling a little pain so this was the least i could do at the moment.
We stayed there for a while and when i knew she was on the verge of sleeping, we got up and i allowed her to brush her teeth then we went back to bed.
"How you feeling?" i ask as i pulled the covers over us.
"I have cramps." she mumbled.
I pulled her close to me and kissed her cheek then watch her sleep before i went to sleep, i just wanna make sure she's okay.

Waking up from under Dale's warm body, he was still hugging me from lastnight. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was 7 in the morning and Dale always leave for work at 9 so I'll wake him up about 8 since he's tired.
It's been four years since I've been with Dale and it feels magical. He treats me so good and i had no other choice but to return the favor.
Sophie and i still keep in touch and she visits whenever she can and even then, Dale and her doesn't see eye to eye and they still have petty arguments which i find funny. Whenever she would come over and Dale was at work, it was like he sensed she was here and would call me. But nevertheless, life was good.
I haven't seen my mother in four years and i wasn't trying to see her. Dale found out that she was married to some guy but it didn't bother him in any way since he was living his life the way he should and was happy with it.
All in all, life was great. I was now on my last year in college and couldn't be happier since i would be getting a job and can help my baby pay the bills. Yes we have been struggling with bills but Dale figured it out. And since my father is still sending me checks, i used that in bills also.
I was also pregnant, 9 months to be exact. When i found out, i was so happy then when Dale came home from visiting his mom, i told him and he cried in shock. His reaction made me cry too. We were married for 2 years now and was living as happy as we could.
"What are you thinking about?" he mumbled and hugged my body close to his.
"Us." i rubbed his arm.
"What about us?"
"Just how long we've been together, what we've been through. I love you." i turned in his arms.
"I love you more baby." he softly kissed my neck then my cheek before i turned my head so he could kiss my lips.
We finally got out of bed and started our day. After we brushed our teeth, i left Dale upstairs where he was getting ready and went downstairs to make breakfast for us.
It was a bit hard moving around so much since i got tired easy but i made it happen. Eversince i got pregnant, Dale have been so happy, happy than he ever been. He would come home and talk to the baby first before he acknowledge me. I have no problem with it 'cause it's actually cute.
For breakfast i made two egg and cheese sandwiches with tea. I hated coffee now so i made it for Dale and cinnamon tea for me. At the same time, he came downstairs with his stuff and and smile formed on my lips at how handsome he looked.
We sat around the table together and prayed, a habit i got from him, before we started eating. We had a habit of just eating in silence when it's necessary. Sometimes we'd just stare at each other and laugh for no reason but in this case, i wasn't doing any of that because i was hungry as fuck.
