NWPIS

Dawson

I watch Rylee as she gets inside the car. She's avoiding eye contact with me so I continue to look at her.

"What's wrong?" I turn my upper body to face her.

"It's nothing," she said. "I'm okay, but tired."

"What did you do?" I continue.

"Put routines together and select a song," she gave me a short summary. Alright. I lock the doors then start driving. Rylee didn't even talk when I try to get her talking so I eventually give up. She's just tired and with a baby in her, I shouldn't bother her too much. We got home, which I made dinner already, Rylee left upstairs and never came back down. Something is definitely wrong. I went up to her room and knock on the door.

"Not now Dawson, I'm changing," she said.

"I'll wait."

"No, don't."

"What about dinner?"

"I'll skip tonight."

"That's not good for you and our child."

"Leave me alone!!" She yells at me. I barge in and see her in her bed. You liar.

"What happened, Rylee?" I ask nicely. She couldn't answer me because she have start crying. I went to her and sit down on the bed. When I did that, she covers her head with the blanket. I had to remove it. "You can tell me anything, Rylee. Who hurt you? Who made you upset? What happened back there?"

"Shut up Dawson!" She yells at me again. "I'm stress alright?! Just leave me alone like you always do. I liked that better!" Rylee turns her back to me and I just blink. Mood swings? I lay behind her and try my best to calm her down.

"Alright, I'll leave you alone but I'm sorry for bothering you. I care about you and our baby. If I have done something wrong then I'm sorry for that too. But dinner is important, so-"

"Leave," she commands. I sigh then get off the bed.

"Good night, Rylee," I head out and close the door behind me.

The next morning, Rylee sneak into my room and got in bed with me. She wakes me up and apologize about last night. I forgive her then we are happy again.

NWPIS EVENT

"I'm getting nervous with you, Rylee," Dawson comment which made Rylee laugh.

"It's me who's performing, not you," she respond back.

"I know, but this is really out of hand. You shouldn't be doing this."

"Trust me, baby. Tell me I can do this instead," Dawson reach to grab Rylee by the waist. Her thumb caresses the little bump.

"I hope you keep yourself and our baby safe out there. I won't imagine the worst thing that can happen once you're on the ice," Rylee keep her smile on and grab Dawson by the shoulders. She give her wife a kiss before pulling away to carry the duffel bag on her right shoulder.

"Let's go," Rylee take Dawson's hand and they leave Rylee's room.

The event starts at 2pm, so they have to go there early for warm up. Dawson drive them to where the event is taking place. Already, the traffic is crowded because people are attending. They found a parking place and get out to go to the back entrance, where they enter for free. Rylee went into a room and told Dawson to stay outside as she change. Dawson waited until the door clicks and opens, revealing her beautiful wife in a black dress and a mask.
