169 Nausea

“Huh!”

Leon raised an eyebrow quizzically at Ella. He wanted to say something but noticed that Ella was turning paler and cupping her mouth. Hence, he postponed his questioning and dashed away to do as she had instructed.

Immediately Leon left, it only took a few seconds before two housemaids came running toward Ella.

One of the housemaids had a bowl of water in her hand and a white towel on her folded arm. While the second housemaid had a bottle of water and a glass on a tray.

They both gently attended to Ella; who was already feeling better as the cause of her nausea had left.

“Thank you.” Ella smiled as the maid attended to her as if she was a delicate baby.

Although Ella felt weak and exhausted, she had no plans of staying back at home. She had a strong feeling that Leon would suggest that she should stay back at home and rest.

As the housemaid was concluding their work, Leon returned, all cleaned up. He was looking extremely handsome in his casual outfit which was black sweatpants and a white tee shirt.

Ella’s face broke into an enchanting smile as Leon came up close to her. She was more excited when she noticed that he was not wearing his special cologne. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

“How are you feeling, my love?” Leon bent over and tried to kiss her forehead.

However, Ella instinctively avoided his touch. She cupped her face which had turned red with embarrassment.

“Leon, I’m so sorry that I threw up on you. You can’t touch me yet because I need to shower first.”

Leon chuckled at her words and her cute reaction. He scooped her into his arms before she had time to escape from his hold. Then he pressed his lips on her hands which were still glued to her reddened face.

“Leon, I don’t smell nice!” Ella complained. “Put me down!”

“Sweetheart, you don’t have to be ashamed of anything in my presence.” Leon tried to reassure her as he walked back to their bedroom.

“I loved everything about you. I love your good, your bad, and your ugly; which I haven’t found yet. There is nothing about you that would ever disgust me. Even if you feel like throwing up on me all over again, then go ahead, I’ll take it.”

“Oh Leon, you’re making me feel worse. Just put me down so that I can wash myself up.”

Ella didn’t bulge to his sweet talking. Deep down, she knew that Leon meant everything he said. The only thing that kept making her heart beat erratically was the real reason behind her vomiting. She was worried that Leon might find out and everything between them would change for the worse.

On the other hand, Leon didn’t listen to her protest and refusal to be cleaned up. He ignored her embarrassed behavior and took her into the bathroom. When he tried undressing her, she stopped him.

“Leon, I thought you had an early appointment? You were all dressed up before my catastrophic accident.”

“You are right, I am supposed to have an early appointment but I rescheduled because you come first. Do you think that I would ever leave you in this state?” f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

“I’m fine! You can’t keep treating me like I’m one helpless child. I’m not sick. I guess my stomach didn’t agree with something I ate yesterday at the restaurant. Ella lied through her teeth.”

“I know you are fine but I don’t want to take chances. It could be food poisoning or something worse. So, don’t trouble you’re beautiful head and leave that to the doctor to ascertain. I’ve already called Dr. Greg and he is on his way as we speak.”

“Dr. Greg!” Ella’s eyes widened as fear crippled her racing heart. W...what about Dr. J... Julie?

“Her number is not reachable so I decided to call her second. Don’t worry, honey, Dr.Greg is very nice and he will take good care of you.”

“I don’t want a male doctor checking me out,” Ella said adamantly. “It’s either doctor Julie or no one else. I like her, I trust her and I want her.”

“Hmm...” Leon grinned slyly “Okay, I’ll go and try Dr. Julie’s number again as soon as you allow me to bathe you and dress you up.”

“You are such a tricky and naughty husband but it’s a deal.” Ella smiled and allowed Leon to do what he pleased with her body.

When Ella was all done bathing and dressing up, Leon ordered for her breakfast to be served in their bedroom.

While she ate, he kept her company until Dr. Julie arrived.

“Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Treshvire,” Dr. Julie greeted politely when Paul ushered her into his boss’s bedroom. “So sorry you couldn’t get to me earlier. Greg passed on your message and I came as swiftly as I could. ”

“It’s good to have you around Dr. Julie.” Ella smiled. “I have been looking forward to seeing you. I think I ate something last night that didn’t agree with my body. I have been vomiting all over the place.”

“In addition to all my wife has just said, please examine her thoroughly. I want you to check for any symptoms of food poisoning. I will be in the sitting room awaiting your results when you’re done.” Leon kissed Ella on her forehead and left the room.

Immediately Leon left the room and shut the door, Ella breathed a sigh of relief causing Dr. Julie to chuckle.

“Let me guess, you are yet to disclose your pregnancy to your husband, right?” Dr. Julie gave Ella a questioning stare.

“Your guess is right,” Ella replied hurriedly. “His cologne triggered my nausea this morning. I would have managed the whole situation if he had not hugged me. I never knew that something I loved the previous night could turn into a disgusting smell by the next morning. Is this how I’ll be feeling for the next eight months.”

Dr. Julie chuckled. She took a seat beside Ella before responding; “Not really. Every pregnancy comes with its own uniqueness. No two pregnancies are the same. During pregnancy, your five senses may seem to shift into overdrive. Foods you love may start to taste funny. Certain smells may get smellier or certain sweet smells may become repulsive.

“Geez!” Ella placed her hand on her chest to steady her drumming heart. So many weird thoughts and questions clouded her mind. But, she pushed all of them down and listened intently to all doctor Julie had to say.

“Due to the surging hormones in this first trimester of your pregnancy, you might experience so many weird changes you are not used to. That is why I strongly advise you to carry your husband along; because he’s going to find out sooner than you expect.” Dr. Julie stressed her last statement.

“I will try my best to keep it a secret until I’m ready to break the news.” Ella tried to convince her doctor. However, Dr. Julie kept on with her counseling.

“It would have been better if your husband was not living under the same roof as you are. Then you can conveniently hide your pregnancy. However in your case, I’m guessing that you both are not just living together, but share the same room.”

“Yes we do,” Ella’s eyes sagged. The excitement at seeing her doctor vanished and she wished she wasn’t pregnant.”

“Do you both still have constant sex?”

“Yes!”

“How recent? Forgive my prying.” Dr. Julie smiled when she noticed Ella shifting uncomfortably in her seat. “I just want to narrow down a fact.”

Ella’s face reddened and she looked sideways as she said; “last night.”

“Interesting!” Dr. Julie nodded her head and smiled. “Have you recently observed yourself in the mirror?”

Ella shook her head in response.

“Well, you should. Your body is gradually changing. If your husband is like mine that enjoys touching every part of me, then he would have observed it. For instance, he would have noticed the fullness and tenderness of your breast when he makes love to you. You can research and read up on some of the changes to expect during your first trimester.”

Ella unconsciously looked down at her boobs and felt them with her hands. She couldn’t tell the difference but she remembered Leon complementing the fullness and sweetness of them.

Dr. Julie smiled as she watched Ella scrutinize her body for obvious changes.

“I will end my counseling with this little scenario. Imagine your husband comes back from work after eating a spicy meal at his favorite restaurant. He has missed you for a whole day and he is excited to see you. He walks up to you and tries to kiss you but your olfactory lobes pick up the spicy revolting smell. So, instead of a kiss, you ended up barfing on him. How do you think he would feel especially when he doesn’t know the reason behind your condition?”

Ella shrugged but didn’t say anything. She remembered how she had thrown up on Leon’s face and instantly cursed her memories for replaying the whole scene.

“Okay, I think I have tried my best to convince you. The ball is in your court. I’ll do some necessary checks and place you on some medications. Also, I’ll cover up for you this once. There won’t be a next time. Leon is a dear friend and It’s against my professional ethics to give false information.”

“Thanks, doctor.” Ella forced a smile.
