it was one of those days where everything felt a bit off.
you were curled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, nursing a heating pad on your lower abdomen. the cramps were relentless, but your boyfriend had insisted on keeping you company.
he sat next to you, pretending to be engrossed in the movie playing on the tv, but you could tell by the way he kept glancing at you that he was far more interested in how you were feeling.
“how are you holding up, babe?” he asked, reaching over to brush a strand of hair from your face.
“surviving,” you sighed, leaning into his touch. “just the usual.”
he flashed a grin, the kind that was equal parts cocky and endearing. “you know, if there’s anything i can do to make you feel better…”
you gave him a side-eye. “you’ve already brought me snacks, set up a marathon of my favorite shows, and massaged my back. you’re doing more than enough.”
but he wasn’t satisfied. he scooted closer to you, wrapping his arms around your waist. before you could protest, he pulled you into his lap, your back pressed against his chest. “what are you —”
you didn’t get to finish your sentence. he buried his face in your hair, planting soft kisses along the curve of your neck. you couldn’t help but melt a little at the warmth of his embrace. he was so good at this — making you feel loved and cherished, even when you felt like absolute crap.
“who’s my little ketchup bottle, hmm?” he murmured against your skin, his voice dripping with playful mischief. you froze for a second before bursting into laughter. “what did you just call me?”
he grinned wider, tightening his arms around you. “you heard me. my little ketchup bottle.” his fingers began to tickle your sides, and you squirmed, trying to break free from his grip, but he was too strong.
“babe, stooop! i’m gonna —”
but he didn’t stop. he just kept tickling you, his laughter mingling with yours, his lips brushing over your ear as he repeated the silly nickname. “who is it? who’s my little ketchup bottle?”
you were laughing so hard tears were starting to form in your eyes. you tried to wriggle out of his hold, but he only squeezed you tighter. it was almost too much — the tickling, the ridiculous nickname, the warmth of his body wrapped around yours. and then, suddenly, you felt it.
the sensation was unmistakable. you froze, mid-laugh, your entire body going stiff.
“let me go,” you said, your voice suddenly serious.
he, still grinning, didn’t catch on at first. “what’s wrong, babe? can’t handle being my ketchup bottle?”
“i’m serious. let me go. now.”
his grip loosened immediately, the playful light in his eyes fading as he registered your tone. “why? what’s wrong?”
you hesitated, feeling the panic rise in your chest. but there was no point in sugarcoating it. “i think i just gave birth.”
his eyes went wide, all the color draining from his face. “what?!”
you rolled your eyes at his dramatics, though you couldn’t help the nervous laugh that escaped you. “not like that. i mean… one of my organs is dying right now, if you forget babe, and a big clot of it just… came out.”
it took a second for your words to sink in, but when they did, his face turned a pale shade of green. “oh… oh!”
you scrambled out of his lap, making a beeline for the bathroom. he jumped up, hovering nervously by the door. “do you need help? should i call someone? do i need to —?”
“no!” you called out, already halfway down the hallway. “i just need to… handle this.”
as you reached the bathroom, you heard him muttering something under his breath, “never calling her a ketchup bottle again.”
you couldn’t help but smile, despite the discomfort. he might be a little over the top sometimes, but he was yours.
and that made everything just a little bit better.
