Em wakes up the next morning to the sound of movement in the kitchen. She gets up and looks at the clock and sees it's 7:09am. She feels a wave of nausea hit her and goes running to the bathroom. After a few seconds, she hears footsteps enter the bathroom. Pasta kneels down besides her and holds her from behind as she empties the contents of her stomach into the toilet. After a few minutes, he finally helps her up and helps her brush her teeth.
"Thank you baby," she smiles, kissing his cheek.
"You're welcome. I'm gonna make you some tea," he says, before walking to the kitchen.
When she comes out of the bathroom and enters the dining room, she sees breakfast served and a cup of hot tea waiting for her.
"You're incredible," she smiles, kissing him.
"Anything for my babies," he smiles, kissing her softly before leaning down to kiss her tiny bump.
She sits down in the dining room table and starts eating her toast with eggs and drinking her hot ginger tea.
"So I downloaded this pregnancy app that tells me everything that's going on with your body. It's called The Bump and it told me that you should eat fiber rich foods and drink a lot of water. It also told me that tea helps a lot of women with the nausea," he informs her.
"You downloaded The Bump on your phone? Wow, you really are dedicated to this," she smiles in fondness, feeling a wave of emotions hit her.
"I just want to help you and be prepared as much as possible. I'm also gonna buy parenting books, so expect a lot of those to fill up the shelves in our room," he smiles shyly.
"Oh my God, David! I swear you're not real!" she cries out, a few tears slipping from her eyes.
"Listen, I wanna do something special for you so I wanna know if you'd want to have a date night tonight," he suggests.
"I'd really like that," she smiles.
"Also, I told Coach that I'm doing well and he said he wants me to go to practice today and skate. Obviously, I'm gonna be just skating, so I'm not gonna be participating with the guys. I'm just gonna work on some skating with the trainers. I haven't been on the ice in 2 weeks so I gotta get my skating back," he explains.
"Are the doctors gonna check your progress today too?" she asks.
"Yeah, they're gonna see for how much longer do I need to be in a cast," he informs her.
"Okay, do you want me to drive you to practice?" she offers.
"You want to go?" he asks her.
"I'd love to go and meet up with some of the girls. Also, I need to ask Katrina for a good OB/GYN for our little nugget," she replies.
"Okay, I'll let you drive," he nods in agreement.
They finish their breakfast and they put their dishes in the sink to deal with later, before heading to their room to get ready. They grab towels and head to the bathroom. Pasta turns on the water in the shower and they wait til the water gets warm until getting in. Em, however, puts the water warmer, causing Pasta to groan.
"Do you like showering with hot lava?" he asks.
"It's not even that hot, you big baby!" she scoffs, grabbing the shower gel.
They wash each other up with Em helping David get the parts he can't reach. They dry off and go to the room. Em changes into a Julliard Dance Company sweater, leggings, and UGGs, while Pasta gets changed into a Boston Bruins sweater, joggers, and sneakers. They leave the apartment at 10:42am and get to Warrior Ice Arena in 20 minutes. They get inside the arena and Pasta makes his way to the medical staff to get examined. Em makes her way to the stands and she takes her phone out to help kill the time. After a few minutes, she sees a little girl walking up over to her. Em looks up to see it's little Sawyer in front of her.
