What Happens In Vegas

Sick

I've been in a bad mood ever since I took the pregnancy test. I'm just sad, and I don't want anyone to see that.

And Elliot, he's been so good to me.

All I want is to be a mom. For me and my husband to have a family together.

Elliot rolls over in bed, dropping his arm over my waist.

I think I'm getting sick. And now is not the time. We're in the middle of the most intense case.

We've barely been home in the last few weeks. And we haven't been having sex since the pregnancy test. Mostly because we haven't been home.

My anxiety lately is through the roof. I don't know what it is. I can barely focus. I can't think straight. And Elliot's starting to notice. I'm just so jumpy. My heartbeat never seems to slow down.

I take a deep breath and roll over, facing my husband.

"Honey, what's wrong?" He asks quietly, his voice raspy.

"Nothing, baby, go back to sleep." I say, stroking his cheek in the hope to lull him back to sleep.

"Honey..." He says, taking my hand. "What is it?"

"Just... Sick." I answer.

"You don't get sick." He says sitting up. "Ever."

"Everybody gets sick." I say tiredly, "Just go back to sleep, El."

He lays back down next to me.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"Just nauseous." I say quietly, resting my head on his chest. "A little achey."

He kisses my temple and wraps his arms around me.

"What do you thinks wrong?" He asks.

"Probably about to start my period." I say.

He sits up.

"Elliot what?" I ask.

"How longs it been since your last one?" He asks.

"Almost two months." I say through a yawn.

"So you haven't had it since you took the test?" He asks.

"No, why?" I ask, burying my face in the pillow.

"Liv? Could you be pregnant?" He asks.

"No..." I say quietly, "I took that test three weeks ago. We haven't had sex since then. It's probably the stress from the case, that happens sometimes."

He lays back down next to me, settling into bed.

I rest my head on his chest, my hand next to my face.

He sits up and I roll off of him.

"Elliot what?" I groan.

"Just think about it, Liv." He says, "You could be."

"Elliot, I took a test three weeks ago. We haven't had sex since then." I say, "There's no point in taking the test."
