Chapter 41

Audrey was feeling nauseous as she was waiting for Roger to pick her up and drive to the airport while Dominique was looking at her pitifully. "Here's your breakfast, madame", she told in a whisper, and Audrey shook her head. She had been staying at her parent's house as Roger was busy recording his upcoming solo single before departing for the second leg of the A Day at The Races tour in Europe.

"Just call me Audrey, I beg you", she said while feeling even more nauseous at the sight of waffles, and the vanilla smell got the worst of her.

The bathroom door was slightly open when Ben dared to open it fully as his daughter was vomiting her guts off.

"Are you sick?", he asked worriedly while taking a hair rubber from the bathroom cabinet, where his wife would usually store them. He tried to tie her hair in a small messy bun that was loose since he was a man with zero experience in tying women's hair, and she lifted her head before flushing the toilet.

"It's just sickness, I think it's stress," she said before washing her mouth under her father's eye.

"You should take it easy, sweetie", he told her lovingly while handing her a clean towel.

She wiped the water off her face and turned around to smile at her father. The stress was not only giving her nausea and vomiting but also her period delayed too. She had read an article about it after mentioning it to Lena. She really had to take it easy because it was tiring her out.

Ben had helped her make her way downstairs as he felt she was very tired, and as clumsy as she was, she would trip and fall. Roger was already waiting for her downstairs as the driver was helping him take her suitcase to his car.

"Nausea again?", he asked after greeting her with a forehead kiss.

"The stress is killing me", she said tiredly and then went to the kitchen to say her goodbye to Lena.

"I don't think it's stress, son", he told Roger as they were left alone. The blonde guy furrowed his eyebrows.

"What do you mean?", he asked his father-in-law.

"I've talked about this with my wife... and we both think she's pregnant, but in constant denial, y'know?", he turned around to see if Audrey was coming back. "We think she's trying to lie to herself,"

Roger was taken aback by his father-in-law's words but couldn't stop thinking as Audrey came back with Lena behind her. He greeted Lena, too. Ben leaned to hug him tightly as he whispered: "I think you've got a lot in your hands, son."

Audrey was sleeping in the car as Roger couldn't stop thinking about what Ben said. He looked at Audrey briefly and then bit his nails. They already had a pregnancy scare before... they were disappointed at the result; did that mean that Audrey didn't want to be pregnant?

He spent the whole drive calculating the last time they had sex and if he had used protection. He was sure he used condoms and she wasn't on the pill - did that mean that the risk was higher? In the end, condom wasn't a hundred percent effective in the end. His legs were shaking up and down as he became more anxious.

But no word came from his mouth when they arrived at the airport and she was looking better. Maybe Ben and Lena were overreacting, he thought after he sighed while Audrey and Deaky were choosing snacks for the flight. Brian came last as he was greeting goodbye to Jimmy and his wife.

The last one to show up was Freddie, as he came accompanied by Mary, both smiling widely.

"Give me my chocolate back", Audrey smacked Deaky with her fist as he refused to give her chocolate back. "Deakyyyyyy", she was whining loudly.
