Sick Again.

The following morning, Lucas ended up waking up earlier than he had intended to because of Jen's morning sickness. It was only now that he realised that they might have a hard time hiding her condition from their mothers. It did not help that she had plans with them later.

He now had the job of holding her hair as she dry heaved into the toilet. He had a frown on his face, as just looking at her made him uncomfortable. She was having a hard time, and the feeling of helplessness overwhelmed him.

He rubbed her back and stuck close to her the whole time until she felt a bit better. Lucas sighed to himself after she kicked him out of the bathroom. Jen was already reluctant to let him see her in such a condition.

Lucas didn't idle around and went to pick out his work clothes and start the coffee. By the time he walked back into the room, Jen had already climbed back into bed. He sat down next to her and held her hand in his.
