My Name is NOT Cupcake novel Chapter 50

I woke feeling rejuvenated and rested. Elias' arms were still wrapped tightly around my waist. I smiled lightly to myself as I relaxed further into the pillow. I felt bile build up as I rushed to the bathroom. I heaved as the acid emptied from my stomach. Just perfect...

Morning sickness.

I felt a hand on my back as I coughed as sat back on my heels. I was cradled into a chest and felt the familiar comfort and warmth spread through my body and a hand rubbed my back gently.

"Are you okay, Nova? Are you sick? What's wrong?" Elias asked quickly. I chuckled and shook my head as I stood and went to brush my teeth. I put toothpaste on my toothbrush as Elias stood behind me.

"It's just morning sickness, Eli. It's normally a package deal when a baby is involved," I said before I stuck the toothbrush in my mouth. Elias only wrapped his arms around me and rested his chin on the top of my head.

"I don't get it," Elias said after I put my toothbrush away. I looked at him confused as I turned to face him. His arms snaked behind my back again as he looked at me perplexed.

"Don't get what?" I asked.

"I don't get why you're not excited to have this baby. You love kids and taking care of people and children," he said.
