You woke up to being rolled over, your stomach laid flat on the bed sheet and you felt the bed shift next to you.

You thought it was Aaron getting ready for work and that you'd have to be up soon too. But the feeling of his large hand on your right arm made you open your eyes.

When you looked at him he brushed the hair that was in your eyes away and you could see him clearly.

His thumb on your cheek made you and him smile softly. "Baby I need you to get up." He said softly.

"Why?"

Aaron shook his head, "Don't worry about that right now, lets just get you in the shower."

"Okay." You whispered.

You began to stand up and with his hand on your lower back ushering you into the bathroom you realized why he wanted you to get up.

You started your period and bleed through your-- Aarons sweatpants.

Your face went hot in embarrassment when you handed your clothes to Aaron.

You both didnt speak while you got undressed and into the shower.

You heard the door click shut when he left. Your body soon caught up with itself and the twisting pain in your lower abdomen crept up.

The cramps were bearable but in the first few days they were the worst.

You and Aaron avoided the whole thing every month, he knew but you didn't want to speak about it, thinking it would disgust him and you still do.

What you didn't know is that while you were bathing Aaron was in the kitchen getting together some hot chocolate for you.

With the little knowledge he had collected about you in this time of the month he knew that eating in your first couple of days made you nauseous for the most part.

The only thing that eased the bubbling in your stomach was dark chocolate. He would always catch you nibbling on a piece while you were at home or work.

Aaron tossed the bed sheets and the clothes you were wearing in the wash. Getting another pair of his clothes and putting them into the dryer so you would have warm comfortable clothes to wear.

He put pillows on the couch with the weighted blanket he knew you loved and your favorite tv show.

When you got out of the shower and bathroom there was a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie folded on the bed.

You knew he had put them out for you, tossing them on the smell of Aaron surrounded you and you loved every second of it.

Walking out into the living room Aaron layed on the couch watching tv under your weighted blanket.

Noticing a pair of eyes on him he lifted the blanket, you took it as a sign and crawled between his legs.

"How do you feel?", he said with all the care in the world.

You grinned and kissed his lips, "A lot better... thank you." Resting your head on his chest you both settled there.

When you started breathing slightly harder Aaron knew you were in pain.

Reaching an arm behind him he pulled out the heating pad. He plugged it into the wall and all the tension flowed out of your body.

He kissed the top of your head and hugged you tight, "I love you."

You returned the gesture, "I love you too."
