Lately, my stomach has been upset at just the thought of certain foods. I never had morning sickness when I was pregnant with Annie and I hate it. I’m hoping that it’s over soon.
“Pia!” He shouts, grabbing Annie from me and reaching to pull my hair back. “I’ll call a doctor.”
“No, no, I’m fine. My stomach is just feeling weird,” I tell him.
I’m doing my best to reassure Levi and Annie that I’m fine as I get cleaned up and try to settle my stomach. Minnie even looks worried as she trails behind me over to the kitchen sink. Levi sets Annie in her high chair with her snack before he comes over to me.
“Okay, how about some soup for dinner then,” Levi suggests once I’m feeling better.
“Sure, that sounds like a good idea.”
“Why don’t you go lie down for a bit? Get some rest.”
“I’m okay,” I try to tell him, but he’s already moving to carry me upstairs.
“Annie, sit tight. I’m just going to tuck mom in,” he tells our daughter.
“Okay.”
She’s happily coloring, strapped into her high chair and I smile as Levi starts to climb the stairs.
“Get some rest, or I’ll call the doctor,” he warns me as he tucks me in, and I smile slightly.
“I don’t need a doctor… I’ve already been to see one,” I tell him, and his face turns pale.
“What? When?” He asks, dropping down onto the bed next to me.
I smile slightly, taking his hand in mine. He looks so worried so I scrap my original plan of the onesie in the closet and decide to just tell him.
“I’m pregnant.”
His mouth drops open, and he blinks. I grin at his reaction.
“I found out officially this morning. It was my doctor’s appointment this morning, not Lila’s. I wanted it to be a surprise,” I tell him.
“Nailed it,” Levi blurts out, and I burst out laughing.
“Are you happy?” I ask him, and he laughs.
“Of course I am. I love you, Pia. You and Annie. More than anything.”
“We love you too.”
He leans forward, capturing my lips with his. Just like every time we kiss or touch, I lose track of everything except for him. Luckily for me, he’s more aware and breaks the kiss.
“I left Annie in her high chair downstairs.”
“Okay, I’m going to take a little nap.”
“Good. I’ll bring your soup up once it’s done.”
I nod, pulling the covers up around me as he heads for the day.
“Oh, and Pia?” He asks, stopping at the doorway. “I’m coming to every other doctor’s appointment.”
I smile, nodding at him as he heads downstairs.
I rest my head on my pillow and grin as my eyes close and I drift off to sleep.
