Nina

I woke up the next morning to a familiar, yet unwelcome sensation-a sharp, throbbing pain in my lower abdomen. In fact, it was the pain that woke me up from a deep sleep.

The discomfort was so intense that it felt like a tight knot had formed in my stomach, making me curl up instinctively. For a moment, I just lay there, hoping it would pass, but the pain only seemed to intensify with each passing second.

"Enzo," I groaned, nudging him gently. He was still asleep, his breathing deep and even. It took a few more nudges before he finally stirred, blinking his eyes open in confusion.

"Enzo."

"Nina? What's wrong?" he asked, his voice thick with sleep.

"I have cramps," I managed to say through gritted teeth, accompanied by a sharp wince as another wave of them washed over me. "Really bad ones."

Enzo sat up immediately, a look of concern causing his eyebrows to knit together. "Cramps? Like, stomach cramps?" he asked.

I shook my head, barely able to speak through the pain, but I managed to croak out, "My uterus."

He sat up even further, his brow now furrowed with worry as he jumped out of bed. "We should get you to the doctor," he said, already making his way across the bedroom to grab a pair of sweatpants and tug them on in one swift motion. "Now."

But my independent nature made me think otherwise.

"I'll drive myself," I said, trying to downplay my discomfort for the sake of... I don't know. My pride, maybe? "I don't want to bother you."

Enzo wouldn't have any of it. "Nina, don't be silly," he said. "You're pregnant, and I'm taking you. We can't just ignore this. We're going to the doctor."

there was no arguing with him when he was in this protective mode. And
