week 20 - dec 30, 2020 - 6:57 am
"babe, our flight is gonna leave soon, start waking up." he told her, hoping she was awake.
she groaned and smiled then got up, and rubbed her eyes. she looked at the time, 6:58 in the morning. their flight was at 8:50, and they had to be at the airport by 8, so they could go through security, and passports.
after groaning for a little bit, she finally got out of bed. pulling her hair into a messy bun, slipping in leggings, and ash's hoodie, and then tied her shoes.
green converse more like. it was a nice contrast to change from all black clothing to green shoes.
ashton came out of the shower dressed and hair wet. she sat on the bedside with a cup of apple juice. "ready?" he asked.
she nodded, slowly getting up. it was getting harder and harder to get up now. she still couldn't believe that she was in her second trimester still.
7 weeks til she was in her third trimester. she just couldn't wait for the baby boys to come.
she and ash got on the plane early, hence she was pregnant. they both got first class seats, sitting next to each other.
as soon as fay sat down, she was out like a light. as soon as everyone got on the plane, the flight attendants did the whole spiel about safety, the oxygen bags, and the seatbelts. ashton had to wake up fay for that one too.
"are we done ashy?" she said sleepily. "what's got you so tired?" he asked. "i'm growing three humans inside of me." she mumbled back, and then falling asleep.
she slept through the entire flight, to new york. ash had to wake her up for a third time.
"babe, we're here." he whispered, into her ear.
she woke up groggily, with eyes drooping. ash grabbed her hand and they walked out of the plane, and ash grabbing their bags.
both turned towards the entrance to the airport, it was snowing. snowing enough where you couldn't see right in front of you.
one thing for sure, was that ash rented out a car, not waiting for an uber. we were led to the garage where the rentals were held, and it seems he rented a nice one too.
the trio stayed a couple more days in florida, while ash and i went to new york.
we made it to our hotel, and i fell asleep immediately. i couldn't help it, tiredness washed over me.
hours later; 5:47 pm. i groaned and turned over in bed. something wasn't right.
ash was on the couch, and heard me, walking into the bedroom area. "how was your nap?" he asked me.
"it was alright. i'm still pretty tired. i could go for another nap." i yawned and leaned back into his chest. his arms rested on the belly that was already protruding.
"you good?" he asked. checking my forehead for a fever and feeling my face.
"you don't have a fever." he mumbled mostly to himself. "want any food?" he asked me. "toast?" i mumbled out.
"sure, i'll call you in a few." he left and went to make toast, something that we got in the penthouse, that he rented out, or had for a couple nights.
"toast is ready." he was standing at the door frame. i turned, "alright ashy." i smiled. his giggle echoed throughout the room.
standing up, was hard considering i had a protruding belly.
i used the bed to give me something to hold.
but as i got up, i let go, and i stumbled. dizziness was consuming my body. the last thing i saw before i blacked out was ash rushing towards me.
*time skip*
"please open your eyes." i heard ash say. "please baby, please." sounds like he was really worried. i mean no dip. he was probably like what was wrong with me.
my eyes finally fluttered open, and i saw ash. i felt a cold cloth on my forehead.
"a-ash?" i stuttered out. "baby. are you okay?" he asked, kissing me repeatedly. "what happened?" i asked, sitting up. "no, no, don't sit up." he told me, laying me back down.
"you collapsed babe." he told me.
"oh." i said plainly. why did i pass out again?
"are you okay, though?" worried eyes searched my face for an answer.
"i'm okay ash." i told him. "are you sure? why don't you eat something." "i'm fine. can i just nap?" i asked.
"i guess okay. do you wanna take a shower or anything before i go take one?" "no, you can go. i got it from here." i told him.
"you promise to text or call if you're not feeling well? i'll make sure my ringer is on." he rambled.
"ashy, i'll be okay, just go have some time to yourself." i pushed him to leave the bed.
he kissed me deeply before he left and took a shower.
despite what ashton says i got up and put on some more comfier clothes to sleep in. i then snuggled back in bed, and actually fell asleep.
i don't remember ashton coming back out, but i could feel his arms around me.
*time skip* dec 31, 2020 - 8:36 am
today was the last day of 2020, i couldn't believe it. ashton still had his arms around me, sleeping. at least one of us was getting good sleep.
i laid awake in ashton's arms til he woke up. "babe?" "yeah?" "how long have you been up?" eyes searching for an answer.
"the past few hours." replying with truth.
"babe, i could've helped you fall asleep." he was all pouty. "it's fine." i told him. i wanted to get out of bed so bad, order some room service and then leave and walk around.
but no, did i do all that? nope. we did order room service, so that's a plus. but ash didn't let me get out of bed, on my own til noon.
by now it was lunch time, and ash went out to get some lunch. him having no idea that he didn't ask me what he wanted to eat.
he was winging it more like.
*time skip* - dec 31, 2020 - 2:44 pm
"is it nap time again?" i asked him. i thought today was going to be a good day, but it seems like it wasn't going to be.
"are you feeling alright? we don't have to do anything for the rest of the day, til 7. unless you wanna see the ball drop?" "i still wanna see it!" i whined and gave him a pouty face.
"alright, we'll start getting ready at 7, then leave, and to times square around 8:30 ish? how does that sound?"
"perfect. cuddles?" i pouted. "alright, come here." arms open wide. i snuggled in, and he wrapped them around me.
"i want you to get as much rest as you can. don't want you collapsing again, k?" i nodded and put my face in his shirt.
a couple hours later i was still sleeping, and i heard ash on his phone, calling someone. i only heard half of the conversation though.
"...i mean yeah.."
"...should i?.."
"...what if it happens again? do i take her to the hospital or..."
"...so yes, yeah i totally would.."
"..i'll call you back..thanks cal.."
"how are you feeling baby?" he asked, see in as i was awake. "i'm still tired. but i wanna try tonight."
"are you sure? you really don't have to." he told me. i sat up with the help of ash, and i was getting lightheaded by just sitting up.
"you good?"
"i'm lightheaded again." i told him.
"come here, lay down. it's okay."
something was wrong and she didn't know what. neither did ashton.
as she sat up again, pain shot through her body, through her skull more like. ashton was in the shower getting ready, but this pain was like no other than she had before.
as soon as she heard the shower turn off she yelled.
"ash!" no reply.
"ash! help please!" the pain was getting worse. she felt like her head was to explode.
this was like the worst headache she has ever felt in a long while.
she didn't think ash was hearing her, she couldn't even hear her own voice. vision was blurring and my heart rate was picking up.
i blacked out.
