When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Stunned, I was about to shake my head when Mrs. Erikson winked at me. She continued, “Having cramps suck. You can’t exert yourself during the first three months. Otherwise, you might risk having a miscarriage.”

Ashton was about to head upstairs to work, but Mrs. Eriksen called out, “Mr. Ashton, it’s painful to have cramps. You should give her a massage later. I bought some essential oil earlier. It’s in your bedroom.”

I must admit Mrs. Eriksen was doing a good job as a wingman.

Ashton put his files down and gazed at me. “Does it hurt?”

I belatedly realized he was asking if the cramps hurt.

Mrs. Eriksen was nodding profusely at me, so I nodded and forced out a smile. “Yes!”

Frowning, Ashton uttered, “Come on!”

As he went straight to the bedroom, I stared at Mrs. Eriksen. “Mrs. Eriksen, I don’t have cramps.”

I had other symptoms, but having cramps wasn’t one of them.

Mrs. Eriksen shot me an exasperated look. “It doesn’t matter. You’ll have that when you’re five or six months along. Hurry, go back to your bedroom now.”

My legs felt like lead as I made my way back to the bedroom. Ashton was taking a shower in the bathroom.
