[ Iris was most definitely a picky person, in fact she found that to be a flaw but there was a problem. She had a sweet tooth and as much as Regulus told her that it wasn't healthy for a pregnant woman to be eating just sugar she needed it. Though that was the problem, the smell of the sweets made her want to throw up. It was the only type of food that made her run to the bathroom and throw up what ever was left from her last meal. She really did hope Regulus didn't catch on.
So there she sat at the kitchen table looking like a lunatic staring at the plate of covered cupcakes, biting angrily at a baby carrot.]
Oh, my beloved. [ She whispered to covered treat.] Why did you have to fight against me on these joyous times.
[All his life. His life had always been filled with Riley Matthews crazy. So he shouldn't be surprised when he goes into the kitchen to make a sandwich to find his pregnant wife at the kitchen table. He's barely in the doorframe when he hears the endearment and stops--
He never knows when he's being too loud for pregnant Riley by even just breathing. It wasn't possible she heard him now, right? But he notes the position she's in and quirks a brow. Considers for a moment
and then steps into the room to grab one of the cupcakes for himself.]
Don't mind if I do. [Which he does. By like eating the top half of the cupcake in one go.]
[ The moment is slow motion in her mind as she watches her beloved husband take a bite in the one thing she craves but can't have. Yet the smell wafts into her nose and she's in love.]
Regulus! [ She yells but feels her last meal churn in her stomach and as quick as she was to yell at him was as quick as she was to run out of the kitchen to the bathroom. ]
[Can't a man ever enjoy a cupcake once in his life? No. Well, actually, no he will. He furrows his brow knowing there's really not much help in her throwing up he can be. And he's less panicky now about her upturning stomach than he was a few weeks prior...
So he gulps down the rest of his cupcake quickly before making his way to the bathroom. Another swallow and he steps in to place a hand on her back--not yet saying anything.]
[ She finished upchucking her meal into the toilet, flushing it as she stand up and rinses her mouth. She turns to him playfully glaring at him, it not like it wouldn't have eventually happened. ]
I don't like you! [ She moves to him, poking him on the chest.]
[ He can't say he wasn't expecting that but he tries to give as firm and knowing nod as he can without looking too amused. He doesn't quite pull it off.
Carefully he moves to grip her finger before piping up: ]
