I wake up to the sound of gagging. Its Christmas morning, Abby told me she was pregnant last night. The same spot she told me she was pregnant the first time. Only this time she knows she wants it. No need to think twice. She told me she found out last week and was waiting for last night to tell me. I asked her if she was going to be pregnant every Christmas eve and she said "maybe." I think this pregnancy is going to be a little hard on Abby though. Last time she didn't really have morning sickness. only sometimes. But she has been in the bathroom for almost an hour. My family, Maggie and Eric are all coming over. I don't know how they are all going to fit in our apartment...there will be 7 kids, and 12 adults. I walk into the bathroom, Abby is laying in the fetal position on the floor. She is very pale and she looks miserable. I kneel down and pull her close to me, brushing the hair out of her face and wiping her mouth with a small hand towel.
"You ok?"
"No."
"Do you want to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth or something?"
"Yeah, I would like to. But I think if I stick a toothbrush in my mouth it will just make me throw up some more."
"You want to just rinse your mouth out then?"
"I can't get up. My head is spinning."
"I'll help you. Ok?"
"Ok.."
"Alright, slow..don't get up too fast.."
I help her up and guide her to the sink, she is holding onto me for support. and As she is rinsing her mouth she starts gagging, pulls away from me and huddles over the toilet. I walk over to her and sit on the edge of the tub, holding her hair back. I start rubbing her back, to let her know I'm here for her. God..she is really sick. She lifts her head from the toilet and I flush it for her. I pull her onto my lap and she wraps her arms around my neck, putting her head to my shoulder. I pick her up and bring her over to the sink once more and she rinses her mouth out. I'm now bringing her back to bed and she is holding onto me tightly.
"Ok...its ok....your alright...I've got you." I say trying to comfort her. I help her into bed and pull the covers over her so she is completely covered. I sit on the edge of the bed, rubbing her shoulder. Joe starts crying and Carter gets him. I am so glad he is here. It means a lot to Abby that he was here for the wedding and that he is here for Christmas.
"I'm going to go check on Joe...are you going to be ok?"
"Yeah...at least I hope so...."
"Alright...do you want me to get you anything? something to help settle your stomach? anything?"
"If I put anything in my mouth, I'm going to throw up. I'll be fine in a little while...I just need some sleep. I promise. Go be with oe..its his first Christmas."
"Ok...I'll be back to check on you in a little bit."
"Don't open any of his presents yet..i want to be there with him."
"Ok..I won't"
I feel bad that Abby feels so horrible this morning. Its Joe's first Christmas and she doesn't even have enough energy to get up and be with him. She threw up more than I have ever seen someone throw up in my life. I walk into the living room and Carter is sitting at the kitchen table with Joe in his high chair feeding him.
"Oh Carter, you don't have to do that. You are a guest in our home, You shouldn't have to be taking care of Joe."
"Its no problem..He was hungry, Abby was sick and you were with her..plus I like taking care of Joe..He is a very good baby."
"Thanks...Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas. How is she?"
"Shes been better..."
"She was in the bathroom forever."
"Yeah I know, I don't think I have ever seen someone throw up as much she just did."
"Is she still in the bathroom?"
"No, shes in the bedroom sleeping."
"Ohh...Well, do you think its safe to jump in the shower...or do you think she will be bursting in?"
"I think you'll be safe."
"Your sure?"
"Yeah..I don't think there is anything left to come out...besides theres always the trash can."
"I guess your right."'
"Yeah..I'll finish feeding him...so you can get in and get out fast.....just in case."
"Ok."
Carter leaves...and I pick up Joe and bring him to the bedroom..And sit him by Abby. He is looking at her and he moves closer to her so his face is centimeters from hers...She opens her eyes...and places a hand on his head...he smiles and laughs in excitement to see that his mommy is awake.
"Merry Christmas baby." She says sitting up.
" You feeling better?"
"Yeah..much better..I told you I would be better after some sleep."
"You hungry for anything? maybe some toast?"
"Yeah...I guess we can try that." She says placing her other hand onto her stomach. Joe lays his head down next to her and she pulls him close to her chest. He snuggles up to her and holds her fingers in his hand. Abby gets up and then picks him up, holding him close to her heart. Joe puts his head to her chest. With the sound of her heartbeat he closes his eyes.
"Wowww...Look Joey...look at all these presents for you...you must have been a good boy." Abby says giving me a glare...She knows there is more stuff here then we put out last night.
"You bought more!?" she asks as she places a now sleeping Joe in his swing.
"Yeah....I bought some more stuff the other day...I just finished wrapping it this morning."
"Luka...he is 7 months old!...how many toys does he really need."
"Well, you bought him like all clothes."
"He needs clothes!"
"He needs toys to keep him entertained. plus I got him this cool thing to help him start walking. and I got him this bear that he can have for the rest of his childhood. Every kid has that one special toy, that means a lot to them."
"Yeah..I had one...mine was this dog. but all Joe is going to with it is drool on it."
"Thats fine."
"I got you some stuff too."
"Luka..you didn't have to get me more...Having Joe and this new baby with you and becoming Mrs. Luka Kovac is the greatest gift I could ever receive."
"I love you."
"I love you too. Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas."
"When is everyone getting here?"
"Soon."
"Did you shower yet?"
"Noo...I didn't."
"Would you like to join me?"
"Abby...Carter is here."
"So..We're married!"
"Ok..fine."
"Plus...we are running out of time for separate showers this morning."
"You do have a point there."
Abby and I are in the shower...our body's pushed up against each other. I am kissing her up and down her neck and she is kissing my jaw line, and by my ear...that is my weak spot...when ever she goes there its just amazing.
"That was fun." She says with a smile across her face.
"Yeah it was...it made me think."
"About what?"
"When do you think you got pregnant?''
"3 weeks ago..in the bath/shower....we started going at it in the bath tub...but that was too messy. Water was splashing out of it...so we went into the shower...because we weren't done...washing yet..and...the shower is always more fun."
"Because its hot and steamy?"
"Yeah that..and you look so damn sexy when you are wet."
"Yeah...well...you look sexy all the time."
"So do you! you are the sexiest man alive!"
"Yeah I know..I just don't like to be conceded."
She laughs and we go out into the living room...Joe is still asleep..and Maggie and Eric are here. My father, brothers, their wives and children arrive and we open up gifts, talk, laugh, and just spend the whole day together. Carter has to fly out tonight. Maggie and Eric are leaving tomorrow morning...and Abby, Joe, my family, and I are leaving tomorrow too. We are going to Croatia for our honeymoon. Its dinner time and we are all sitting around the apartment....4 people can sit at the table...a couple people can sit at the counter....and the rest of us are scattered about the living room. Abby and I are standing together by the Tree and we are about to tell everyone, we are expecting a baby.
"Abby and I have some exciting news, I was informed yesterday that we are expecting another baby."
Every one cheers and tells us how happy they are for us...Maggie comes over and gives Abby and big hug. Eric follows, we shake hands and then he wraps his arms around Abby.
"I'm so happy for you Abby. You deserve all of this and so much more. your my big sister and I love you"
"I love you too Eric...I'm so glad you could be here."
Carter is walking over to us with two envelopes, his bags are by the door. He hands the envelopes to Abby and I and says "Merry Christmas." We open them and they are trust funds. ones for Joe, the other is for the new baby.
"Carter...you didn't have to do this."
"Joe is my godson. Its for his future, and this one is for the new baby, so it won't be jealous."
"These are for $20,000..each."
"Don't worry, I have 150 million more." he says with a smile. "Well I got to be going..I don't want to miss my flight."
"Ok.It was great seeing you again!! thank you for everything!"
"No problem Ab. Congratulations again...the new baby, the wedding...I'm so happy for you two. You guys deserve this more than anybody. I'll talk to you soon." Carter gave Abby a big hug and a kiss on the cheek, we did the "man hug" he said bye to Joe..and to everyone else and left. It's about 11 by the time everyone left..All the kids fell asleep..the apartment is a mess...and Abby and I are too tired to pick it up...so it will just have to be messy until we get back from Croatia....Because there will be no time to clean tomorrow.
"Lets go to bed, I'm exhausted."
"I don't want to go to sleep.."
"Why not? Abby, aren't you tired?"
"Yeah..but if I go to sleep..I'll wake up and then I'll be sick for an hour or two."
"Don't worry..I'll take care of you."
"You ok?"
"No."
"Do you want to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth or something?"
"Yeah, I would like to. But I think if I stick a toothbrush in my mouth it will just make me throw up some more."
"You want to just rinse your mouth out then?"
"I can't get up. My head is spinning."
