Chase POV:

I was laying in bed back at home for once with my girlfriend of just shy of a year in my arms. I look down at her and brush some hair out of her peaceful face as she slept. The past 8 hours had not been pretty, seeing as somewhere coming back home she had picked up some sort of bug and it was making her pretty miserable. It had just started shortly after we pulled in and was just a headache. But that quickly escalated to a complete migraine, aches, cold chills and a pretty high fever within 2 hours. I found some cold medicine and she took it and feel asleep only to wake up a hour later nauseous, which lead to her throwing up everything inside of her. It wasn't till about half an hour ago she finally passed out, which I hope with everything in me that when she wakes up again at least the nausea is gone.

After awhile the silence that had enveloped in my room was broken by a pain filled groan. I looked down with a frown to see she was still asleep but her face was twisted up in discomfort, making my heart ache. I pull her on top of me and rub her back as I kiss the top of her head just trying to do anything to help. But it proved to be worthless as her eyes snap open and she's gagging, I jump out of bed and immediately grab her gently and hurry her to my bathroom. I quickly lose track of how many times she's heaving into the toilet but it hurts me so much to watch her go through this. She finally leans back into my chest with a shaky sigh and chokes out,

"Chase is there anyway you could make the floor comfortable? I don't think it's gonna calm down or go away anytime soon."

I nod and kiss her temple and whisper,

"Of course, you gonna be ok while I go round up blankets and pillows for us?"

She smiles weakly up at me and nods as she moves and leans against the side of the tub and closes her eyes. I stand up and rush out to grab all my bedding and throw it in before leaving me room to grab more only to run into my dad. He frowns and asks,

"So I take it she's pretty sick huh?"

I blink and I must have looked confused as he snorts and says,

"Son the worry is written all over your face. If your looking for bedding to use to camp out in the bathroom your mom just brought in all of that stuff from the rv, just use that since it needs cleaned anyways."

I nod and shoot him a quick smile in thanks and hurry to the back door where she always dumps everything. I quickly grab what I need and run back to my room, but I stopped as I entered my bathroom to see a heart breaking sight. She was wrapped up in my blanket in just in one of my tees and her underwear shivering. I quickly lay everything down and get make shift bed made and gently pull her into my arms and move her to the floor bed. I wrap my arms around her from behind only to feel how hot she was and I knew her fever had risen. She snuggles back into me and mumbles,

"I know I'm only cold cuz I have a fever but baby I'm freezing. I was ok till I threw up in my lap and shirt and I had to change. But I only had enough energy to get to you're bag and you didn't have any sweats so just a shirt was replaced so, well I forget where I was going with this."

I snort and try and pull her into me to warm her back up a bit as I mumble back,

"Well that explains why you were suddenly half naked and in my shirt when I got back. But baby I'm sorry you got sick again like that."

All I got in response was sleepy mutters making me chuckle quietly before burying my face into her hair and falling asleep myself.

On and off all night she was either throwing up or passed out in my arms, and I just prayed this was a 24 hour bug because this was horrible for her. By the time the sun started to rise she had been asleep for 2 hours straight which hadn't happened yet which I truly hoped meant it was calming down for her. And luckily it was, at least for the nausea part. She was still freezing and achy but the worst was over and I couldn't have been more happy for that. After a few more hours of sleep she was acting normal just tired and achy and a bit queasy on and off. But by lunch I notice I was getting achy and I dreaded the thought that I had caught whatever she had, so I tried hiding it from her because I knew she'd feel guilty over it all when it wasn't her fault. But around 8 that evening my stomach started getting more and more upset and I knew what was going to happen. I sat up and put my head in my heads and was trying to breath through the nauseous feeling building in the lower part of my stomach. I stiffened as I felt her hand rest in between my shoulder blades as she quietly asks,

"You feel sick now don't you?"

I just nod slightly as I was afraid to open my mouth. Other than my parents no one knew I was actually terrified about myself throwing up. Watching someone else was gross but it chilled me to my bones to actually get sick myself. I could feel her shift to her knees next to me and rub my back as she pulled me into her. The soft, peaceful moment didn't last long as I leaned away from her and over the edge of bed as everything came rushing up and out. Unknowingly to me tears are falling down my face from the panic brewing in me. She is gently pulling and guiding me to the bathroom where luckily I had yet to clean up and helped me lay down before she disappears to clean up the mess I had made. My whole night was spent either crying and throwing up or being held to her chest soothingly. But just like her the worst was over by the time the sun started to come up. And for the next 2 days we just slept and watched movies, and hope neither of us ever have to go through anything like that again, at least anytime soon.

*2 years later*

I woke up to the sun shining in through our new bedroom windows and casting a glow on my love. I couldn't stop the smile from stretching across my face as the light glistens off her rings on her left ring finger. I bring up her hand with my own left to my lips and kiss her knuckles lovingly while my right the was wrapped around her waist from behind rubbed small circles on her 7 month bump. Even though our son was a complete surprise we were both extremely excited to bring him into the world and start our little family. I was snapped out of my thoughts to the soft meow the left past her lips as she moved to get comfortable again. I couldn't help but snicker as she goes red from the noise she had just made. But I just start kissing her all over her face and neck making her giggle and squirm in my arms. It's moments like this that I love the most with my wife, where it's just us and she's comfortable and is completely herself.

And I hope that we will continue to have these moments for the rest of our lives.

Because she is all I would ever need in my life, always.
