Work Text:
Bobbie awoke alone in a cold bed. With her eyes still tightly shut, she placed her hand lightly on the side of the bed that her wife usually occupied. The feeling of the sheets underneath her fingers signalled to her that they had been empty for a while. Bobbie opened her eyes and shifted to where she could stand up.
She always wakes me up before she goes to work. Unless she's still home.
However as she looks towards the window behind her, she realizes that the door to the master bath was closed.
Oh. That makes a lot more sense, but how long has she been in there. The sheets are freezing for Christ's sake. Is she okay?
Bobbie stood up and stumbled toward the bathroom with hooded eyes. She softly knocks as she reaches the door.
"Joey? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine honey." The response is weak and isn't convincing at all.
"Can I come in?"
"Yes, please." Joanne is very obviously not feeling well. She sounds breathless and exhausted.
Bobbie slowly opens the door and as she looks into the room, she finds her wife sitting on the floor with her head resting on the wall behind her and hands on her stomach.
"This kid is kicking my ass Bobbie."
"Awh Joey, I'm sorry."
Bobbie sits on the ground next to her wife, and arms are immediately encircling her torso. Joanne lays her head on the shoulder of the younger woman as Bobbie whispers soothing words into her ear.
"I'm happy we're going to have a baby, but if they don't stop making me sick." Bobbie can hear by the tone in her voice that she isn't serious, but she knew that Joanne was suffering with the morning sickness and wishing it would end already.Thankfully, the doctor had told her it wouldn't last much longer.
"It won't be too much longer Joey." She says as she runs her fingers through the dark hair of the shorter woman.
Joanne was currently 11 weeks pregnant with her and Bobbie's child. They had decided that Joanne would carry the baby when they realized that Bobbie wasn't able to get pregnant. One thing Joanne made her promise though, was that during the pregnancy, whenever she got sick, that Bobbie had to hold her. It was silly and Joanne knew it, but she also knew it would make her feel a hundred times better. When Bobbie first heard her wife's request she laughed, but Joanne was not happy with that reaction. Bobbie then went on to reassure her that it was okay. Bobbie spent the rest of the night thinking about how adorable her wife was, and how happy she was that they were going to start a family.
"I love you Bobbie" Joanne whispered with her head heavy against her wife's neck.
"I love you too. " Bobbie rested her head on the top of the older woman's as she ran her hand over her back.
Slowly, the shorter woman lifted her head and placed a hand on her abdomen while still leaning on her wife.
"I can't wait to have you with me and mommy. Even if you are a pain in my ass at the moment." Joanne said this with a joking tone and at that Bobbie laughed into the room and leaned into kiss the older woman.
Joanne gladly accepted, and even though it didn't last long, she wanted this moment to last forever.
"I love you so much, Jo."
"I love you too, baby."
