"Oh my gosh," Frida said as she bent over with one hand on the counter as she walked through the kitchen, coming home from the doctor. She moaned in pain.

"Is everything alright?" Benny asked Frida, laying his hand on her back.

"I feel like I'm going to throw up, get your hand off me please." She said calmly.

"It can't hurt so bad that I can't touch you," Benny mistakenly judged. Frida stood up straight, turned around and punched him hard in the stomach.

"It hurts about ten times worse than that," she said frustrated as Benny was bending over with pain.

"Frida," he wheezed. He took her hand and looked at her like he was going to slap her. Then he got his mind under control. "Don't ever do that again."

"I'll do it again if I want to! You deserved it!" She said as her mood instantly changed from mad to almost a green complexion. She started breathing heavy and then ran to the bathroom. She opened up the door to the downstairs bathroom and threw up in the toilet. "Dammit," She said after a while. She started crying. "This always happens! I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!" Frida said to herself and then threw up again in the toilet.

"Baby, I'm really sorry," Benny said. "I really didn't mean to hurt you," he said bending down next to her.

"I just can't stop barfing," Frida said crying. "I feel like shit all the time," she said sobbing. "And I get the chills like I'm going to throw up all the time. It never goes away and I just want to be later in pregnancy so I don't have to deal with this crap!"

Benny felt everything she said. Her words powerful and strong. They were words that the weak say, but sounded strong. Benny looked sad. "Will you forgive me?"

"Of course, loser," Frida joked. "I will always forgive you it's just I feel crappy right now and I can't handle it."

"I love you," Benny said. "Can you brush your teeth and maybe we can cuddle on the couch." Benny smiled sympathetic at Frida. "We can watch Gilligan's Island."

Frida smiled widely. "Okay," she laughed. "Let's go, just help me up."

Benny took Frida's hand, and helped her up. By the time they were in the couch, Gilligan's Island theme song was playing. Frida cuddled up to Benny, and he was stroking her back. "Thank you," Frida whispered as she drifted off to sleep.
