A Certain Romance - Alex Turner

brick by brick

Hey guys, I finally updated! I also changed the story cover since I think this one looks cooler :)

Jenna POV

I woke up to the sound of loud cars and busy streets of London. I loved this city, no matter how busy or cold it was.

I dragged myself out of bed but quickly sat back down as a sudden feeling of nausea rushed over me. Thankfully I made it to the bathroom before I threw up. After finishing my "business", I decided to do something better than sitting around watching TV and eating ice cream. I had a quick shower and fixed my hair to make it seem less crazy than usual. All of a sudden, I got sick again. I decided against going out and saved myself some embarrassment from throwing up in front of people.

While I was cleaning up, my phone rang so I rushed out of the bathroom to answer it. I didn't bother looking at the caller ID.

" 'ello love! How are you darlin' ?' A deep voice came through the speakers, one that obviously belonged to Alex.

"Hey Al..I'm not too great. Just some morning sickness really."

" Oi! You sit tight love, I'll be down in a few."

"alex! No rea-"

Great. He hung up. I wasn't mad at Alex anymore, it's just that I'd rather spend my sick day on my couch alone and not feel awkward and tense around him. I decided to change my clothes and take a bit of medicine to hopefully prevent me from hurling all over the floor. After 15 minutes, I heard the doorbell ring.

I opened up the door to see Alex standing there with a big goofy grin and holding some bags.

"Alex! Come in, it's freezing outside. You really didn't have-" He leaned in and shut me up with a kiss to stop me from rambling.

"It's alright love, I just got us a bit of food."

He dropped the bags on the counter and started taking out everything.

"Alright so I got you some soup and a bit of bread to go with it, tomato bisque since it's your absolute favorite, and some cookies and ice cream and some ingredients for us to make hot cocoa later. Just thoght it might help ya feel better!"

I couldn't believe the amount of trouble he went through just to make me feel better.

"Al! Thank you so much, you really didn't have to. I hope you're sharing the food with me, are you trying to make me fat?"

"Of course I'll have some! I brought some movies too and some records to play..You forgot some of yours at my house."

Alex and I moved all the food to the table by my couch and put on Harry Potter since he insisted we have a marathon. I sat on the couch while Alex went to get some blankets.

" 'ere jenna, I brought us a couple." Alex put the blankets on the both of us as we snuggled up with each other. At first I was a bit awkward, Al was trying to move a bit closer to me but I kept scooting away. I finally gave up and snuggled into him. He placed my head in the crook of his neck, so my face was on his chest. He smelled like cigarettes and cologne, it just so happened he was wearing my favorite one.

" 'ows our little baby?" He turned me around so he could get a good look at my tummy. He gestured towards it awkwardly. "Can I..um..touch it?"

His awkwardness made me stifle a small giggle. "Go ahead then."

He placed his large hand on my tummy while rubbing it and saying sweet words to the baby. "Who would've thought.. you and I having a baby?" The whole situation was bittersweet. I was having a baby with the man I love, but we weren't officially together.
