love and danger

chapter two

Chapter two:

The next morning, john was just lying behind Marlena with his arm securely around her waist.

he loved to watch her sleep because she looked so peaceful and happy, and as always so beautiful.

john didn't need no sunshine as long as

he had her.

Marlena began to stir and she rolled over facing john and slowly her eyes fluttered open and the second she saw his handsome face she smiled.

Good morning, she said still sounding satisfied.

Good morning sleeping beauty, did you sleep well?.

john asked incase she was still tired.

I slept wonderful, because I was in your arms, marlena said as she smiles at john and then continues.

where’s my morning kiss Sailor?, she asked playfully.

john smiled the biggest of smiles and kissed her softly on the lips.

the kiss broke leaving them both breathless and that’s when the nausea hit marlena hard and fast and she got up and ran to the bathroom.

John was astonished at how fast she had moved, and he himself ran into the bathroom and he came up behind marlena and held back her hair and rubbed her back.

after marlena was gone getting sick, john rubs her shoulders gently and then helps her on her feet.

john continues to gently rub marlena's back as she washes her face and rinses her mouth.

So, I guess the morning sickness has finally set in huh?.

john asks as he still rubbing marlena's back.

It would appear so and john, It has been a day since we found out we are having another child and I was really hoping that we could avoid morning sickness all together.

marlena told her husband as she grabs a nearby towel and dries her face.

john places a kiss on marlena's shoulder and wraps his arms around her waist and then he puts his hands on her stomach.

marlena places her hands on top of his as she leans back in his arms and then the two sat on the bathroom floor for a while.

john was still rubbed marlena's back and was rocking her back and forth.

thanks that helped, marlena said exhausted.

no need to thank me, doc, I hate seeing you sick, it breaks my heart.

john said as he bringing her closer to him.

doc, honey, if there is anything I could do for you… just tell me and I’ll do it , john assured her.

just keep what your doing and peppermint tea and crackers, they do help my stomach when i have morning sickness.

marlena told her husband as she said on the verge of falling asleep,
