His Toxic Addiction-Chapter 364: Happy Hormones.

The next morning came and Arissa did not get better as she had expected. Rather, she felt more sick by the morning and was even unable to leave the bed.

Everything left her confused and her taste felt different.

Stretching her legs on the bed, she sat up and struggled to force herself out of it but it was fruitless as she only ended up dropping back on the bed with a soft drop.

"Nick," she called softly when she did not see her husband around. She faced the bathroom entrance and called again, "Nick!"

Still, no reply.

Her hand tugged into her hair and she combed it frustratedly, using her fingers. The feeling from the pit of her stomach rushed in again and she tried to subdue it.

However, in the next second, it got her running towards the bathroom. Bending over the poo sink, she threw up everything that was left on her empty stomach.

When she finished throwing up, she weakly sat down on the floor and folded her legs to herself. Her hand rubbed softly on her forehead and she wondered what was going wrong in her body.

After a while, she picked herself up from the floor and walked towards the sink. Almost close to the link, something caught her attention.

It was her stomach and breasts. They both caught her attention. Her body became stiff when she noticed her stomach was a bit larger than how it usually was and also, how round it was. Her stomach was as round as that of an egg and it caused a gasp to escape her lips.

Her hand flew over to her mouth and she used the free one to raise her cloth an inch off her stomach.

She stood there, staring at herself in the full-body mirror. She stood sidewalk and looked at herself from that angle too.

"I’m late," she recalled, "God, I’m three weeks late," her heart skipped a beat when she finished her calculations.

She gulped and caressed her lower abdomen with a thumping heart.

"I can’t be pregnant," she muttered to herself, "I repeated the pills until recently," her voice turned into a whisper and tears pooled in her eyes.

She couldn’t believe her stomach was becoming slightly visible. Her head banged her hard and it left her in deep thoughts. She stood sideways and started at herself again.

Her stomach wasn’t so flat from the sideways angle anymore. Whoever looks at her from that angle would know she carries a child in her womb.

Arissa’s face turned red from surprise. She chuckled, and tears spilled down her eyes before a smile graced her features.

She rubbed her stomach and smiled at herself while she turned around and looked at herself from an all-round view.

"Truly I am pregnant," she smiled and continued fondling her stomach, "It’s not a month yet and you’ve decided to give me a hard time," she said in a feast

of laughter, remembering everything that happened with her yesterday.

She continued, fixing her eyes on her stomach from the wall mirror, "You know what? I love it. I love every process you’ll make me undergo but can you please tune down the part where I have to repeatedly throw up?" she requested softly from the baby in her womb like she was talking to someone before her, "Don’t get mad at Mummy, she loves that too but it always leaves her weak whenever she finishes. It makes Mummy dizzy and I’m sure you don’t want anything bad happening to Mummy," she explained softly.

Her heart swelled with extreme happiness and she wasn’t able to keep it in. What she came to find out this morning was never in her expectation book but luckily for her, it happened and she did not know how to thank the baby in her womb for choosing to make her happy.

She brought her palm to her lips, kissed it, and placed it on her stomach as a means of kissing the baby, "Mummy has to go and lay down. She feels weak again," she told the baby.

Taking in deep breaths, she walked into the bedroom and began to feel feverish. She calmed down and searched around for something.

She was searching around for Nicklaus’s clothes. Her nose demanded to be buried in his scent but she wasn’t able to find it and ended up lying in his corner of the bed and hid herself into the duvet.

"Hmm," she groaned softly, "It’s funny I was okay a while ago and now, I’m down with a fever," she said and weakly shut her eyes to help herself.

The door cracked open and Nicklaus walked in. Staring at Arissa’s thin back weakly under the duvet, he let out a soft sigh and walked towards her. He doesn’t want even a minor sickness to disturb her but it seems he wasn’t able to prevent it.

He dropped the tray he came in with on the couch in the room and walked towards the bed. Reaching there, he hugged Arissa from behind and kissed her cheek and the side of her head repeatedly.

Arissa smiled widely when Nicklaus did that and happy hormones inside her spread triple times more than she had ever felt when his hand wrapped around her stomach.

Her eyes widened. Most of the happy emotions came from the baby and it left her stunned, in a good way. She placed her hand on Nicklaus’s own and rubbed softly on his hand on her stomach. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the kisses too.

Nicklaus paused. He gently wiped her hair off her face and leaned forward to drop a kiss on her forehead, "I called Mr. Williams and he’s already on his way coming. Can you endure for a moment and let me help to freshen you up before his arrival?"

Arissa’s eyes widened and she shook her head in disagreement. Hell, he can’t find out now, she thought.
