The curly-haired teenagers woke up the next morning lying in the hotel bed, the white comforter covering their naked bodies, their limbs tangled together. Gabriela had her arms wrapped around Jack's stomach; his were around her shoulders.

Gabbie opened her eyes as the sun streamed through the open balcony window, blinding her. Her head rested on Jack's chest, so she adjusted herself to where she could watch him peacefully sleep. Her movements made him groggily open one eye. When he saw the girl he loved in his arms, he smiled widely.

"Good morning, beautiful," Jack said, kissing the top of her head. She nuzzled her face in the crook of his neck. Their cuddling moment didn't last long.

Gabbie's stomach turned and a lump approached her throat. She quickly jumped out of the bed and wrapped a bathrobe around her bare body before running to the bathroom. Jack immediately jumped up after her. She lifted the lid of the toilet before hurling her guts out. Jack kneeled next to her and held her long, curly hair out of her face, gently rubbing her back.

"Aw, baby, it's ok," he whispered. "Gabbie, deep breaths."

A few minutes later, Gabbie's stomach felt a lot better, but her mood was ruined. She flushed the toilet, and stood up. She hugged Jack tightly as tears of discomfort streamed down her face.

"Do you want to take a shower, clean off a little bit?" Jack asked her, knowing she felt dirty. She nodded, and removed the bathrobe. He ran the water, and they both got in the shower. Not bothering to wash her hair, Gabbie tied it up in a bun so Jack could scrub her back and her arms. He ran his soapy hands over her body, doing the work for her.

"Thank you, Jack," she said with a smile.

"Anything for you," he replied, kissing her gently.

They hopped out of the shower, dried off, got dressed, and brushed their teeth. Jack ordered room service, repeating what Gabbie had requested for breakfast. They sat on the balcony and ate their meal, enjoying the view of the beach.

Gabbie wondered why she had gotten sick. She remembered what a lovely night the couple had just hours ago. Then it hit her.

"Jack, what if I'm pregnant?"
