Marlena awoke the next morning to
the scent of breakfast in the air.

Just as she was about to get out of bed, John came through the bedroom door with a tray of food.

Marlena took one look at it and ran for the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.

John set the tray down and moved to the bathroom door.

Honey? Are you OK?, As soon as the words left his mouth he was sorry.

Of course she’s not OK, you idiot!, john said to himself.

john opened the door to find marlena on her knees, her face hung over the toilet.

Marlena body racked with the spasms of morning sickness.

john come into the bathroom and he dropped to the floor beside her and held her hair to making sure to pull it away from her face.

He reached up and grabbed a wet washcloth and slowly wiped Marlena's forehead.

Marlena slumped against john and says to him.

You will never have to find out, Pretty Lady, because I am never going to let you go.

john told marlena as he holding her close, giving her comfort, stroking her beautiful blond hair.

She looked so weak and helpless. Exhausted from what she just went through.

John slowly picked marlena up and carried her to the his bed.
