The following morning, let's just say I wasn't better. Nope, not by a long shot. As soon as my eyes open, I'm running like a track star to the bathroom. Head bent over the toilet throwing up what I had the night before. As I hawk cough away like a dying cat, Kira is right behind me.

I must have woken him up.

He's the sweetest man. Rubbing down my back. Uttering sweet words of love into my ear so I can know he's here for me. I vomit until nothing is left. But I still feel uneasy afterwards.

What is wrong with me?

"Detka that's it I'm taking you to see a doctor."

I flush my mess and wipe my face with some tissue. Going to the sink to rinse my mouth out with mouth wash, but the taste still remains. I hate the taste of puke. Especially first thing in the morning. So I reach for my toothbrush and start brushing my teeth.

"Baby did you hear what I said." Kira voices behind me. He's pressed against my back. I stare up at him through the mirror. Going to spit out toothpaste.

"Hmm, I did. Okay."

"You're not going to tell me we don't need to go."

I nod. Spitting again. I rinse my mouth  free of toothpaste.

"No. You're right. If I'm still throwing up we should go."

Kira looked like he wanted to gasp a sigh of relief. He start his own morning routine. I wash my face using my brush since around my nose is oily more than normal. After, I slick on toner using a cotton pad then do my three step skin routine, vitamin C oil, a moisturizer, then sunscreen. Even though I'm dark skin I still make sure to wear sunscreen, especially in the summer time.

"Have you ever had these symptoms before in the past?"

"No. I assume it's something I ate while in Florida but if it was, it should have passed by now."

"I agree. What if you're pregnant?"

Pregnant? I hadn't even suspected that.

I mean I just had my monthly. So it doesn't make sense. But we've had sex before without a condom and, it's a huge AND, I'm on birth control, which is not a hundred percent either. I'm careful to alway take it daily at the same time everyday though. My phone has an alarm which goes off to remind me 10 minutes before I'm due to take it each time.

"I don't think so. But it would make sense."

Am I pregnant?

I don't know what reaction I expected from Kira after I said this but I wasn't expecting the one I receive. He seems giddy almost excited at the prospect of me being pregnant.

"Say something, that look on your face. Are you happy?" I'm scared to ask.

What if he isn't?

I know we've talked about children. Even joked about me being the size of a whale but that's before it seemed like I might be. Honestly I shouldn't jump to conclusion since I haven't even taken a test. But...
