ALEXA'S POV:

It's been two weeks now and things are going pretty well. Suzzy and Ethan were on their honeymoon right now so, I was helping Ethan to run the company while he was away.

Daniel and I barely saw each other due to our work schedule and it's seriously taking an effect in our relationship. I have decided to take the day off today so I could spend quality time with him.

"Good morning" I said to Danny who had a towel wrapped around his waist. He probably just got out of the shower. I stretched my limbs as I just woke up this morning.

"Morning" he answered without turning around. I went towards him and wrapped my arms around his waist. I glided my hands up and down his taut muscles and packs

"I took a day off work today, so you and I can spend time together. I really miss you Danny." I turned him so he could face me

"I'm busy at the office Alexa, I have responsibilities" he stated bluntly. My smile immediately dropped from my face

"But...." I was cut off by the nauseating feeling I felt. I quickly ran into the bathroom and puked out my guts. I didn't know Danny followed me because I was a bit startled when I felt someone holding up my hair

"Are you alright?" Worry etched on his voice. I washed my mouth after spilling out my guts.

"It must be something I ate" he helped me get up as I wiped my mouth as we went back to the room

"Okay, you can take rest today. I'll try to come back early from work." I looked up in surprise

"So you're going to leave me in this condition?" I asked incredulously

"You said yourself that it was something you ate, why are you making a mountain out of a mole?" I didn't want to argue with him plus I felt the nausea hit me again so I immediately ran into the bathroom.

By the time I got back, I saw Daniel was completely dressed in his work attire. I sat on the bed feeling gloomy

"Don't you love me anymore?" I whispered just enough for him to hear me

"What kind of question is that?" He asked coldly. Danny and I never fight, I don't know why he's being so harsh to me lately. I let tears roll down my eyes, feeling unloved and unwanted.

"You don't have to come back early from the office, I'll be fine" I stated. I got up and laid down properly on the bed

After Danny left, I felt another wave of nausea hit me. I felt it till around noon time and it finally stopped. I decided to make something for myself since I was the only one at home. Mom had travelled to see her family while Anna and Roman where on tour which leaves me home alone.

I prepared pancakes to eat but when they were finally done, I lost my appetite. I layed on the couch feeling cold and a bit drowsy. I wonder what I ate last night, I felt so weak.

It wasn't long before Danny came home. He rushed over to my clutched form on the couch. 

"What's wrong? You're burning up" he  felt my temperature

"I... I don't know, I just feel sick" he lifted me up in bridal style "where are we going" I asked groggily

"I'm going to take you to the hospital" that was the last I heard before I fell asleep

****

"Doctor how is she?" I woke up seeing Danny and the doctor talking together

"Well the morning sickness is normal at this stage and..." Danny cut him off

"Morning sickness? Why would she be having morning sickness?" Yeah even I was confused

"Well I thought you knew. Congratulations your wife is three weeks pregnant" oh my what!!! I squealed internally. I have always wanted a baby and this baby is going to bring Danny and I closer. I can't wait to share this news with Suzzy. She's going to be happy her baby is going to have a friend to play with.

"Well she has to come for regular check-up from now on and here are some prescribed medications she should take." The doctor gave Danny a list

"Thank you doctor. Can I take her home now?" He asked

"Yes you can" I looked at Daniel but his face didn't give away any emotions. I couldn't tell if he was happy or mad but I'm sure he's ecstatic about the News.

The ride home was so quiet, I sometimes glance at his direction but his eyes remained glued to the road. He went inside the house immediately we got there.

"Aren't you happy about this baby?" He ignored me and went into the room. I followed him slowly not wanting to have an argument this night.

"Yeah, thanks for your help" I saw him speaking on the phone with someone

"What's wrong?" I placed my hand on his shoulder

"That was Newt, he said they have spotted Max somewhere in California and I've alerted the police to arrest him" hearing that monsters name caused a chill to run down my spine

"M..max?" I stuttered

"They have arrested him, the commissioner just confirmed it to me" he started taking off his clothes

"Daniel?" I wanted to ask if he's happy about my pregnancy

"It's been a long day Alexa, I'm tired. Please allow me to rest, I'm begging you." I felt the pang in my heart and turned away leaving him alone. I didn't feel sleepy yet so I turned on the TV and layed on the bed.

He came back from the shower and lay on his side, drifting off to sleep immediately. I turned to look at the screen but at the moment, I didn't find "what men want" movie interesting even though it was one of my favorite.

I got up and changed into my pyjamas. Watching Daniel's reaction to the news about my pregnancy, I didn't need to be told twice that he wasn't happy about it.

How does a woman react when her husband isn't happy about her pregnancy?
