I woke up feeling like I'd been hit by a truck. The world was spinning, and my stomach churned with the kind of nausea that made me want to crawl back into bed and never move again.

I blinked a few times, trying to shake off the dizziness, but it wasn't going away. In fact, it felt worse the more I tried to focus.

"Sarah? You okay?" Richard's voice cut through the fog in my brain, and I turned to see him standing in the doorway, his brow furrowed with concern.

I forced myself to sit up, the room spinning even more now. "Yeah, I'm fine," I lied, waving my hand dismissively. I hated the idea of making him worry. I didn't want him to see me like this. "Just... just a little tired, that's all." He didn't buy it. I could see the way his eyes narrowed, the protective instinct kicking in. "You don't look fine, Sarah. You're pale, and you're shaking. Do you want me to call someone?"

"No!" I nearly shouted, then winced as the movement made my head spin again. "No, I'm fine. I'm just... you know... a little sick. Pregnancy stuff."

I managed a small smile, trying to reassure him, though it didn't really work. "I'll be okay. I promise."

Richard didn't look convinced, but he didn't argue either. "Alright," he said slowly. "But you're not doing anything today, understand? I'm keeping an eye on you."

I wanted to protest, but honestly, the thought of getting out of bed made me want to curl up into a ball. "I'm fine. Really. Just... maybe a nap later?"

"Good," he said, his voice softening as he walked over to sit next to me. "Get some rest. I'll handle everything today."

"Thanks, Richard," I said, feeling guilty. I hated not being able to help. "I'll be fine, I promise. Just... need a little break."
