Astral Convergences

A piece of heaven

C pov

first day of the year and I already feel terrible.. I woke up with nausea and headache..we didn't go to sleep too late last night..it's just that the pregnancy is making me feel all its heaviness at this point..and it's normal.. I didn't stop a second..i had to finish my album and arrange my wedding..but now,i need a rest.i get up..Shannon is cooking,she smiles as i step into the living room  "good morning baby,how are you?"  "i feel like shit"   she plants a kiss on my lips  "why?what do you feel?"  "nausea..and..headache"  "sit down..breakfast is ready..i'm taking the pills"  "i don't know if i can eat.."  "Cari..you have to..c'mon,be a good girl..as soon as you take the pills, nausea will go away"  "umm,okay"  she smiles and disappears into our bedroom.

after we finished,i sit on the couch..she reaches me  "babe..i didn't have the time to tell you but my father took us something"  "what?"  i ask her,curious  "a lil' trip..to Big Sur..i mean,he reserved a whole ass house"  i widen my eyes  "really?"  she nods  "we can go when you'll feel better..or after June's birth"  "no,no.i wanna go now"  "but babe..you don't feel good"  "actually,after the breakfast and the pills,i feel better"  i say,smiling..then i get closer to her  "and i'll feel even better with your cuddles"   she puts her hand on the baby bump and then places a kiss on my cheek  "mmm,you know how to get everything from me,don't you?"  i nod pouting 'cause i know she can't resist to this..she hugs me and i relax,breathing my favourite perfume in the world..we cuddle for some minutes more..then she speaks  "well,i guess we deserve a little vacation"  "yeeeeess"  i stand up to kiss her  "you won't regret babe,i promise"  and then i step into our bedroom to start packing our things  "wait,i'll pack..i don't want you to get tired"  i kiss her cheek  "thank you Shanbee..i'm taking the clothes then".

an hour later,after Shannon called the owner of the house,we're driving through the highway..my album is playing and i'm enjoying the incredible scenery..the sun is warming us and i feel good..nausea and headache went away..Shannon is focused on the street and i smile,admiring her beauty.i take the camera to take some pictures of her..when she realizes what i'm doing she smiles  "no baby please,i'm a mess."  "you're beautiful..plus you always take pictures of me..even when i'm not acceptable"  "what are you talking about?you're always gorgeous"  "just drive..Shanbee doesn't want my mood to be bad,right?"  "oh god,no.keep taking pictures, babe".

two hours later,we stop to have lunch.she helps me getting out of the car and walking to the diner.we sit and order our food.i smile  "this is so incredibly romantic..we're on a love escape"  i say,getting lost in her eyes..she takes my hand  "you're right.i want to promise you that we'll make hundredth of this escapes..even when the times will be bad or dark for us,i don't wanna forget that we are two women in love"  "Shanbee..i'm so emotionally unstable right now"  i start crying while she smiles  "you're so sweet,i like that you cry for everything i say..it makes me feel appreciated"  "you're an asshole"  i reply,slapping her arm,she chuckles  "hey,i'm your Shanbee"    i cry again  "i know..stop playing with my mood".

"i have to pee"  we stand up together from the seats.she takes my hand to guide me to the restroom  "okay,i can do it alone now"  i say as i enter  "um..i don't know.."  "Shannon,leave me the dignity i have left..i can't pee with you"  "i don't know..i don't like public restroom.i don't want you to sit on it"   i sigh  "this is the point where our relationship is about to lose its romanticism"  "umm..i will turn..i won't look at you..just lean on me..please, babe"  "whatever..i can't contain myself any longer"   she turns around and i lean on her arms   "this is so not okay"  i tell,peeing  "cover your ears,at least!"  she does as i ask and when i finish, she smiles  "you're blushing"  "it's very uncomfortable peeing in the presence of someone you are sexually attracted to"   she shrugs  "you got pregnant.."  "Shannon!last time i checked,i didn't do all the job by myself"   she chuckles,taking my hands   "i was kidding..now,let's wash them".
