I took a nap and Graham stayed in with me and took care of me. I was sick most of
the days we were in Cancun. As we left for the cruise to Belize I slowly regained my
strength and felt fine.
We got a first class room on the ship and a perfect view. I stood by the
window and watched as they untied the boats ropes and the boat got started with a
kick. Graham came up behind me and put his hands around my waist. He kissed
me.
“The view is so beautiful.” he whispered. “Just like you.” I smiled and yawned.
“I think I might take a nap. I’m not feeling well again.” I said, rubbing my belly.
It was already becoming rounder and it was only two months in.
I layed on the bed and close my eyes. I felt the ship sway underneath me,
making me feel even queasier. I layed on my back and looked up at the ceiling.
Graham was checking emails on the laptop and read one aloud to me:
“Kers, this is from Adam. He says Izzy’s doing great and misses us a lot.” He
said with a small laugh. “He also asked about the baby. Should I email him back the
news?” he asked.
“Yeah, go ahead.” I said wearily. I closed my eyes again, but was awoken by
the swaying ship again.
“I can’t sleep.” I said, getting up and putting my feet on the cold, carpeted
floor. “Is it cold in here? Or is it just me?” I said rubbing my arms.
“It’s you. Want me to turn the heat up? It’s already at 70, Kers.” he said,
handing me my slippers.
“No, just leave it.” I said, not wanting to roast him alive in this room. I rubbed
my eyes and stretched.
“Wanna go out?” Graham asked.
“Sure.” I said, and he got me my jacket. We went out onto the deck of the
ship and sat on some beach chairs.
“It’s so peaceful out here.” I said, looking out at the sunset. Graham put his
arm on my shoulder and we looked at the sunset together.
The cruise went on without a hitch. We left for the airport at 6am on Sunday.
Graham wasn’t as sick from flying this time, but he was still a little worried.
We pulled into the driveway of our apartment and unlocked the door.
“Home, sweet home.” Graham said, sighing.
“Adam said he will bring Izzy over at 4.” I said. I sat on the couch and finally
took a nap. I hadn’t slept much on the cruise.
