Chapter one hundred fifteen: "Jam"

Ava soon woke up after an hour

Her eyes wander around the room before they landed on me "When did you find out?" she asked in a groggy voice

I played with the tips of my hair "Just last night, Cloud came back to the penthouse at dawn" I spoke quietly so I wouldn't surprise her sleepy self

She rubbed her face with the palm of her hand "Cloud you didn't hold yourself back"

The devil in question is busy eating blueberry cheesecake beside me, he looked up from his plate while chewing "Sorry?"

"You are certainly Theo's son" she sighed "Make sure you are stepping up to that duty, juggling college and fatherhood isn't an easy feat"

Cloud could only grin at his grandmother
I'm pretty sure he already prepared for everything

"So how many weeks are you?" Ava looked at my stomach with her gentle blue eyes, I shrugged at her

"I'm not sure, I didn't even notice I was late until my cravings were constant and I tasted metallic things in food" I responded truthfully while patting my stomach
The weird orange taste is still burned on my tongue and thinking about it just makes me wanna barf

Which I started to feel in the pit of my stomach

My stomach felt weird "I need to barf" I informed Cloud and he hurriedly brought me to the bathroom near the living room. He held my hair up while I barfed out my breakfast
Such a waste of food

While holding my hair up, he patted my back in a comforting manner

"I'm gonna call our family doctor, you need to lie down" Ava suggested while simultaneously dialing down the number on the telephone placed in the drawer by the window

The barfing finally stopped and relief sets in me, it's like I took not barfing for granted. I was hungry again but at the same time my stomach felt dizzy so it was a constant battle of was and needs

I used my hand on the wall to balance myself as I wash my mouth with water to wash out the barf aftertaste

Cloud pulled out a handkerchief and cleaned my mouth right after then carried me to his bedroom, on the way we accidentally bumped into Noah who was getting ready to leave. He saw my state which made him stop running "Is she okay? She looks pale"

"I'm fine, I just barfed out a perfectly good breakfast I just ate this morning" I weakly said with my head leaning on Cloud's shoulder

"Must be a bad breakfast for you to barf like that and become pale, I'll see you around, I have something to do" he patted my head before running again
Thankfully he didn't think too much of it

As Cloud walked down the long hallway to his bedroom, he asked "Are you hungry? I can imagine that you are since.. Well.. You are eating for two" he chuckled then kiss my forehead

"Didn't my barf disgusts you?" I asked in worry that it might become a deal breaker for him. He stopped walking and looked down at me with a gentle look in his eyes

"Barfing is normal, it's one at a time that I have to get used to for becoming a Dad" he chimed happily as he continued walking to reach the front of his bedroom door
Well that's good

All that barfing made me feel tired quite fast than when I barfed out my jumbo meals after a rollercoaster ride at the amusement park in the bathrooms

Cloud back then wanted all of us in our group of friends to go to that new amusement park that just opened, it was 2nd year of high school so, of course, we weren't on the best of terms at the time. To annoy the heck out of me, he decided to pull me on that trip since I was planning to relax that weekend
