As my body retched for the final time, I stumbled to my feet and flushed the toilet. I brushed my teeth before heading back into the bedroom, expecting Harry to still be asleep.

'Baby what's up?' Harry was sat up in bed waiting for me, holding out his arms.

I snuggled into him. 'I have no idea, I just suddenly got hit with this wave of nausea and-' oh god no. The mental calculations I did took, in reality, about 0.5 of a second. To me it felt like an eternity.

'It's okay, you go back to sleep. I will go and make breakfast.'

As soon as Harry was out of the room I got back up, threw Harrys hoody on and practically ran to Freezys room.

'Cal, wake up' I whispered in his ear as I shook his arm. 'Cal please. This is serious.'

'Mmmm. What?' He didn't even open his eyes, just moved himself back as he he held the duvet up. Motioning for me to join him. I climbed in beside him, jabbing him in the forehead till he opened his eyes. 'What could be so urgent as to wake me up?'

'I..' the words stuck in my throat, nausea washing over me once more. I threw myself from his bed and into the bathroom just in time. I swear there couldn't be anything left for me bring up. When I made I went back into Cal's bedroom, he was now sat bolt upright in the bed. He lifted the duvet for me again, so I climbed back in beside him as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I just leaned into his chest, waiting to get my breath back.

'Whats up chicken? Please don't say I gave you food poisoning?'

'No I don't think so. I.. my period.'

'Woahhh, okay lovely lady. Now I promise I do love you, but I would prefer if you sat on a towel or something if you are gonna bleed out all over my bed. Jesus, how do you women bleed so much and not die?!'

I thumped Freezy in the arm. 'Dickhead. No i'm not ON my period. That is the problem' I whispered, barely audible. Not wanting to say it out loud.

'Oh.. Oh. Ohhhhhhh.'

'What do I do? I can't say anything to Harry unless I am sure. He would have a coronary!' I whisper, pulling the duvet over my head and pretending I wasn't there.

'Okay. Here is what we do. I am popping into town today with Ethan. I will get a test for you. Then if you are we tell him. And by 'we' I mean you.

'Okay' I whispered from my duvet fort. 'Cal?'

'Yes?'

'Please put some clothes on, you are scaring my retinas.'

'You are unbelievable!' Cal laughed, finding my ribs and tickling me. 'you woke me up and got into my bed! I was hardly going to be a waistcoat and bow tie now was I?'

Thankfully the vomiting stopped, and when I got dressed and headed down to the kitchen I was over the moon to see a table covered in food. We all ate and drank coffee, Harry checking on my every so often to make sure I wasn't feeling sick anymore.

Freezy and Ethan left for town shortly after breakfast, so I got my second book and went and laid outside on one of the sun loungers. Time seemed to slip away from me as I got deeply engrossed in the pages, only realising that a good three hours had passed when Harry come out to me with a coffee. 'Thought you could do with the caffeine' he smiled as perched at the end of the sun lounger.

I picked up my phone to see a message from Freezy.

I waited a minute or two, then offered up my sun lounger to Harry. 'Relax' I said, slipping off to meet Cal.
