Gracie kept her face near the toilet as he tried to braid her hair to keep it out of her face. She nodded when he said that he would be back and that he loved her, although she didn't say anything back, her mind not completely comprehending what was going on. By the time he returned she was resting her back against the wall with her face in her palms, her knees pressed nearly to her chest, you could tell she felt horrible from just looking at her.

Avery found her in the bathroom against the wall and got right down beside her, feeling really guilty. "I got your medicine." He opened the paper bag and opened the bottle for her. "Here you go babe." He took one if her hands and placed the pills there before grabbing the glass if water she'd abandoned in his room. He sat beside her and held the glass out to her. "When you're feeling better you can punch me in the stomach." He tried to joke, but he had a feeling she wouldn't find it funny or take him up on the offer.

Gracie felt him moving beside her and let her head rest against his shoulder as he handed her the pills. She took the cap off and poured a couple in her palm, making sure that was how many she should take on the prescription label. As he moved she pushed her head up against the wall again. She took the glass from him and took the two pills in her hand, praying that they would work quickly. She shook her head at his offer for her to punch him. "No, don't worry, babe, it's not your fault." She moved her head again and it landed on his shoulder with a light thud. She giggled a little, "Actually, it is your fault, but not in the way you were apologizing for..."

A giggle, that was the sweetest sound in the world. "It is my fault in the way I'm apologizing." He put laced his fingers with hers and rested his head against the wall. "I won't argue with you though, because I'd just be wasting your energy." He lifted their hands to his mouth and kissed her. "Did you want to stay in here? I could move you back to my bed."

"Whatever," Gracie said, giving up. She honestly didn't care at this moment if it was his fault or not, she was just happy that her face was out of the toilet for more than five minutes. She let out a sigh and smiled lightly as she felt the kiss on her hand. She licked her lips and looked at him, "Well, I think I'm going to wait for these meds to kick in before I move too much..."

Avery hated making her mad or even feeling like he'd made her mad. He kept his head against the wall and ran his thumb over her fingers. "Let me know when you'd like to move." He closed his eyes and tried to figure out how many hours he'd spent sitting on the bathroom floor for one reason or another.

Gracie let out a light groan, "Ugh, this is horrible," she said, as if that weren't already obvious. She nodded as he said to tell her what she should do if she felt better. She shut her eyes for just a few moments and after a little bit of laying still she started to feel better, "Alright, I think I'm okay now..." She looked at Avery and gave a weak smile to show that she felt a little better. She was still exhausted though.

Avery lifted his head off the wall when she said she was alright and then slowly got up. He bent down and picked her up and carried her to his bed. "I think I'll just keep you here, we can tell your mom later." He kissed her lips then her temple and pulled the blanket over her. "You rest." He moved around to the other side of the bed and climbed in, trying not to stir the bed too much and then turned the movie back on, he fell asleep before it was over.

Gracie looked at him as he stood with a soft smile and nodded, honestly glad that she wouldn't have to see her mother yet. She allowed him to pick her up and put her arms around his neck. She smiled at his kisses and pulled the blanket up around her neck, happy to be actually in bed, plus his bed was at least ten times comfier than hers. She let out a sigh as he climbed in, but was asleep before he'd completely settled in.

Sometime in the night Avery woke, checked his phone for the time and then shut the TV off. It was too late for him to drive Gracie home and he certainly hoped in the morning she wouldn't tear him to pieces for keeping Gracie all day, all night, and all the next morning. He rolled over, placed his arm around her belly, strummed his fingers across the baby bump and fell back to sleep, hoping with everything in his being that he wouldn't wake up to her violently ripping away from him to toss her cookies.

Gracie felt him move and smiled as his arms came around her stomach, but fell back to sleep quickly. She woke up quite early the next morning, feeling queasy but she didn't toss anything yet. She let out a sigh and got up, headed to the bathroom to take her medicine, hoping she could get to feeling a little bette. She returned to bed and laid down, although she didn't fall back to sleep as quickly as she had the evening before, where she had been so tired she could hardly do anything.

Avery's alarm clock sounded not long after Gracie crawled back into bed and he rolled over and shut it off. He ran his hand over his face and then stared at Gracie, not knowing she'd just been up to take her medicine, he hoped the alarm hadn't disturbed her. He glanced at the clock and then at the large schedule hanging on the back of his door and knew he couldn't put off his run and workout. He crawled out of bed, hoping she'd remain asleep until he came back or at least morning sickness free until he came back. He dressed and started out the door.

Gracie was in a light sleep by the tine his alarm had gone off and she watched lightly, unsure of what was going on, really. She figured he was just going to the bathroom and would be back, so she closed her eyes. She slept silently and without being woken up for a while, apparently she was a lot sleepier than she thought.

Avery was worried on his run and might have rushed his work out, but he'd make up for it later at baseball practice if he had to. He made it back to the house, peeked into his room to check on Gracie and then slipped into the bathroom. He left the door to his room unlocked so if she needed to utilize the toilet she could. He finished his shower and with a towel wrapped around his waist he crept back into the room to dress.

Gracie didn't wake until he was back in his bedroom and getting dressed. She blinked a couple of times and looked at him through squinted eyes. "Good morning," she said softly, in her hoarse morning-voice. She let herself stretch a little, not feeling quite up to par, but still feeling better than she had the morning before. She let out a little groan as she stretched. "What time is it?"
