Shooting Her Foot

"You should be lying down," Louis muttered as he carried Skylar up the stairs, leaving Steven gaping.

He was stunned beyond word.

Was that Louis? The same uptight and stone-faced man he had met few months ago who wanted him to teach his wife her wifely duties? Was he the same man who always had no expression displayed on his face?

What happened to him? Why did he seem like he was worried? What was going on? Why was everyone acting different from what they used to be? First, it was Skylar and now Louis?

Steven watched the couple as they went up the stairs with Skylar in Louis' arms.

"Louis?" Even Skylar was surprised to see how worried Louis was. She called his name to be sure that it was really him.

"Yes?" He replied, thinking she needed something. "Should I call the doctor? Where do you feel pain?"

Skylar didn't know what to feel, seeing Louis worry about her. She wasn't used to it. She had never seen him worry about anyone before.
