Unnatural Events

Chase woke up to an unbearable brightness, forcing his eyes shut again. His head throbbed, and a wave of dizziness washed over him. He tried piecing together his memories from last night, but they were fragmented at best. The last thing he clearly recalled was playing basketball—Lila had called them in, and then… everything after that turned to dust.

Blinking through the haze, he looked down and saw Diana sleeping beside him. His gaze trailed to her stomach, and suddenly, one memory resurfaced. Right—breakfast. He needed to make breakfast for her and the babies.

Forcing himself up, he barely managed to sit before a sharp nausea hit him. His stomach lurched, and without thinking, he bolted to the bathroom. The moment he reached the sink, he started throwing up, his whole body trembling from the effort. Even after he finished, the dizziness persisted, his vision spinning uncontrollably.
