I woke up with a stabbing pain in my abdomen and lower back. I can only imagine what Mother Nature had in store for me this month
How much would I bleed? How long will it last? How bad will the cramps be?
Well, with my luck they'll put me out of the barn and away from my book no doubt
I deeply sigh and get myself out of bed to go see the damage done to my nice underwear and pajama bottoms
"Not too bad. Thank goodness" I breathe out as I grab my essentials to be sure I won't ruin another pair of underwear
"Oh maybe I should take a shower" I think aloud as I retract my hand from the box of tampons and pads
I turn on the water that's hot enough to boil a crab and just sit under it for a while, not having the strength to stand
The hot water really helps in the moment. But I know better then to get used to it. They always come back
"Louise! I've been calling you for an 5 minutes!" I hear my fiancée bust into our bedroom but I don't have the will power to answer him. I'm just too relaxed
He opens the bathroom door and I hear him sigh "You took a shower last night" he reminds me as I shake my head
"I know. I had a bit of an...issue, if you will" I say while poking my head out of the white shower curtain
"Mhm ok" he nods in understanding
"Sheets destroyed?" He questions while grabbing my heating pad from under the sink along with some eucalyptus oil
"They never are" I smile as he nods and walks out of the bathroom " 'm making you breakfast. Want it in bed or downstairs by the TV?"
"Bed. I'm feeling fatigued" the brunette replies
"Why do I have to go through this?" Lou whines as she clutches her stomach while the blonde uses his palms as a heating pad while scrolling on Twitter
"At least you ain't pregnant" he chuckles
"Can't I just get a letter every month saying congrats you're not pregnant?!" She exclaimed "That would be less painful"
"Why don't you just pop a kid out once every year like shitty hair and freckles? I'm sure she barely gets her period anymore"
"I'm so not doing that" Lou rolls her eyes
"I love you" he mumbled into her neck as he spoons her with his warm hands pressed to her abdomen
"I love you too" she sleepily replies "And I love your hands" she smiles as her cramps aren't as intense as this morning
"They're good for more then just this ya know? And you know what helps period cramps" he bites the shell of her ear
"Absolutely not!" She backhands the side of his face "Agh! You're no fun" he pouts
