I'll Take Care Of You

Chapter 28

            "Welcome home babe." Ash said. We were standing on the doorstep of our new apartments.

            "When did you get this?" I asked him, walking around the place. There was furniture and all our stuff already in there.

            "When we were in Hawaii, my parents and everyone else moved everything in and I gave them the money for the apartment before we left for the honeymoon. I wanted it to be a surprise." He told me shrugging. I looked around and smiled. We had our own place. I looked back at him with the smile still on my face.

            "It's perfect." I said with a smile. He smiled back and walked towards me, then wrapped his arms around my waist. He leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he picked me up by my thighs, bringing me to the couch, where he laid me down carefully on my back. He hovered over me and started kissing down my neck.

            "Uh, babe?"

            "Hmm?" He mumbled against my neck.

            "This is great and all, but we kind of need to unpack." I told him. He pulled away and looked down at me.

            "We can do that later." He said back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and brought his head towards me so my lips brushed against his when I talked. "No. And plus I'm ti-" I quickly covered my mouth and pushed him off me. I sprinted to where the bathroom was, and threw up in the toilet. What was going on?!

            "Jen? Are you okay?" He asked, holding my hair out of my face as I puked again. When I felt better I flushed the toilet and stood up so I could brush my teeth from the vomit taste. I finished then turned towards Ash.

            "Sorry." I apologized, "I must've caught a bug or something." I said looking down. That's funny because I felt fine before, but I have been tired lately.

            "It's okay sweetie. Why don't you go lie down and I'll unpack everything." He said, and then kissed my forehead. I nodded and he took me to where the bedroom was. When I was comfy, I immediately fell asleep.

            I don't know how long I slept, but when I looked out the window it was pitch black outside. I heard the sound of the T.V. come softly from the living room. I saw it was 9:00pm. I sighed then sat up, only to hurry to the bathroom again. I leaned my head against the toilet seat when I felt arms wrap around my waist.

            "Did you just get up?" He asked. I nodded and leaned into his chest.

            "How long was I asleep?" I asked.

            "Like four hours." He told me.

            "Damn. I didn't think I was that tired." I told him. "I'm sorry if I ruined any plans you had for the night." I stood up and brushed my teeth again. He stood up too and leaned against the door frame.

            "You didn't. I was gonna take it easy tonight since we just got home. I knew you would probably be tired." Great, even he noticed that.

            "Yah, sorry about that." I said after I was done. He grabbed my hand and hugged me close.

            "It's okay babe. You don't need to apologize for being tired." He said with a chuckle. I rolled my eyes and stepped away a little.

            "Got any food?" I asked him. I have been pretty hungry lately too.

            "Uh yah. Let's go see what we have." He said, taking my hand and pulling me towards the kitchen.

            "I actually wanted some pizza and wings." I told him.  He looked down at me and smiled.

            "Okay. Go pick out a movie and I'll order the stuff." I kissed his cheek then headed over to the stack of movies that were brought from the house, along with some new ones. After a few minutes I decided on one of the Twilight movies.

            "What are we watching?" Ash asked, sitting on the couch next to me, with his arm around my shoulder. I cuddled closer to him.

            "Breaking Dawn." I replied.

            "Haven't you already seen this a bunch of times?" He asked. I just shrugged my shoulders.           
"There was nothing else that interested me at the moment."

            "Well okay then." He said, pulling a blanket over us. I laid against his side and watched the movie.

            Within ten minutes we heard a knock on the door. I sighed and sat up so Ash could go get it. When he opened the door, the smell of food instantly hit me, and my stomach growled really loud. Ash brought the pizza and wings over, and then went to get some plates and napkins.

            "You want anything to drink babe? He asked me from the kitchen.

            "Uh just some water please." I yelled back. He came back and handed me the water, then set down the plates and napkins, along with a Dr. Pepper for himself. I helped myself to some pizza. I was so hungry I could've eaten the whole pie.

            "You don't want any wings?" Ashton asked me. I looked at them for a second and then shook my head no.

            "Sorry, they just don't sound good to me right now." I replied back.

            "Are you sure you're okay?" He asked. I looked up at him and saw he had worry in his eyes.

            "Yah. At least, I think so. But don't worry. I'll be fine." I took a drink of my water. I turned back to the movie and saw it was on the scene where Bella finds out she's pregnant. A light bulb turned in my head. I froze and my heartbeat picked up.

            "Oh my gosh." I whispered.

            "What is it?" Ashton asked. I put my pizza on the coffee table and then turned my head towards him.

            "I know what's wrong with me. I mean all the signs are there."

            "Babe, what are you talking about?" He asked, genuinely confused. I grabbed both of his hands in mine and turned my whole body towards him. A tear slipped down my cheek. 

            "Ashton, I think I'm pregnant."
