(Brad's P.O.V)

Jen is reaching the 8 week mark in her pregnancy and her symptoms are finally starting to reveal themselves. The last few weeks she's felt nauseous but hasn't actually vomited but this morning she woke up, jumped out of bed and sprinted to the bathroom and unfortunately had her first case of morning sickness. I ran after her and held her hair back whilst also rubbing and patting her back.

A few minutes later she finally sits up and leans her head back against my chest and she holds her head in her hands. I couldn't help but feel absolutely helpless. There's nothing I can do to take her sickness away and I wish I could take her place.

"Oh babe... are you okay?" I ask sympathetically as I'm still rubbing her back

"No I'm n..." Before she could finish her sentence she throws her head over the toilet again but this time she's vomiting more violently

"Jen baby... I'm sorry" I say as she's finally done

She stays sitting down for a little bit longer to make sure she's finished and then I help her up and walk her over to the sink so she can wash her mouth out and brush her teeth.

"Well that was fun... expect that every morning for the next few months" She says as she puts her tooth brush back and makes her way back to bed

"I'll always be here to help you baby. We are in this together" I pull her closely, giving her a kiss not caring that she's just thrown up and we both fall back to sleep as it's only 5am

*9am*

(Jen's P.O.V)

I finally wake up to realise that my stomach has finally settled. I don't know how long this feeling will last but I'm going to enjoy it while it does lasts. I throw on Brad's t-shirt which is oversized and goes down to my knees and a pair of my lace panties and head downstairs... like I said before, I want to get all my use out of my cute panties before I'm wearing ones that go up to my boobs.

I make myself some bananas on toast and make myself a cup of tea... decaffeinated tea as I don't want too much caffeine in my system. I notice that Brad's already fed Norman so I pick the little cutie pie up and give him some kisses before he trots back to his toy box.

I grab a newspaper and sit down to eat my breakfast. As I'm half way through eating it, Brad comes into the kitchen and he's soaking.

"What the hell has happened to you?" I say laughing at the state of him

"I decided to wash our cars but then I tripped over the bucket of water, spilled it and landed straight in it" I can't stop laughing at what he's just told me

"Probably one of the easiest tasks and you can't even do that" I giggle and turn back to my toast. Brad teasingly pushes me and he sits across from me with a bowl of cereal

"I take it you're feeling better then?" He asks taking a spoonful into his mouth

"A lot! For now my sickness has gone but I don't know how long that'll last so I'm enjoying these moments of feeling perfectly normal" I finish my breakfast and cup of tea and go and get ready

I should already be at work for our table read today but I rang Marta and said I've been awake most of the morning vomiting so she just said I can come into work later this morning which is what I'm going to do. I french braid my hair so it's out of my face and I throw on a plain t-shirt with some comfy jogging bottoms and trainers.

"Baby, I've gotta go now but I shouldn't be home too late... maybe around 3:30pm" I walk up to Brad and give him a kiss

"I wish you could stay here with me"
