answers it immediately. He doesn’t leave the room and I can hear what he is saying. It must be the doctor on the other end. I am surprised the doctor would call to check on me on a Sunday. I listen as I lie there. Mason looks over at me and then looks outside. He doesn’t hand me the phone or ask me any questions. He hangs up the phone and looks over at me.
“That was your doctor calling to check in. She said she wants to see you in her office on Monday.”
“Ok, I have work, so it’ll have to be after that or during my lunch.”
“Ok, we can go at lunch. She also said to stay in bed and rest today and if you start bleeding or cramping a lot to call her. Drink plenty of water and continue to lie on your side.”
Mason climbs in bed with me to let me know that we are going to do exactly as the doctor wants. He picks up the phone and texts someone without saying a word. When he is done, he places the phone on the nightstand.
“Not going to church?”
“No, my girl needs me.”
“Mason, you should go to church. We could use the prayers.”
“Beauty, God hears our prayers no matter where we are. Being in church doesn’t mean God will listen first or most or hardest.”
“I guess you’re right, but you don’t need to stay here with me. It’s just some mild cramping, it’s nothing.”
Mason stands without saying a word. He opens the blinds and walks out of the room. I lie there looking out into the private beach while lying on my left side. It is such a beautiful day with the sun shining. Mason comes back into the bedroom with a cup of coffee, a cranberry juice, two English muffins, and two bananas on a tray.
I sit up in bed and smile. “If you plan on staying in bed with me all day today, it’s going to be very boring, you know.”
Mason lays the tray across my lap, careful not to spill the coffee. He reaches down and grabs my computer and lays it at the foot of the bed, before he gets back into the bed.
“I thought we could shop, watch movies, eat, and sleep,” he says while lifting the coffee from the tray.
I pick up the juice and take a drink. “That sounds like fun; what do you want to shop for?”
“I thought we could shop for office supplies for you: paint, fabrics, textiles, or whatever it is you’ll need. You’ll be needing samples and stuff. I assume you’ll be meeting clients here, so you’ll need an office to represent your work.”
I hand Mason his English muffin and smile. “Yes, I guess, you’re right. I already have the paint samples, but I’ll need the fabrics and textiles, too. I’ll also need to get some drapes, rugs, and lighting in that room I chose for my office. I don’t think I put enough thought in this. I still have a lot to do before I’ll be ready to start working.”
“We have time, there isn’t any hurry.”
“I’ll be out of work soon, so I am in a bit of a hurry,” I say, finishing my juice.
“Beauty, you worry too much,” he says and winks at me.
My cramping comes and goes throughout the day and the bleeding increases. It’s not alarming so I don’t say anything. Just as Mason has promised, we stay in bed and eat, sleep, watch movies, and shop. We bought lamps and rugs and ordered some textiles and fabric samples, all online. He called his sister and Dad and told them he isn’t able to go to the condo to move his things today. His sister was more upset than I expected. She said she wanted to get it listed as soon as she could. Mason told her to list it right away and start showing it next week. The showings will be delayed by only a few days. In the meantime he’ll be moving his things out. Mason makes soup and sandwiches for lunch and we eat in bed. He tells me it’s nice staying in bed all day with me and doing nothing. Mason would never let me feel like I am a burden or he would rather be someplace else doing anything else. I have no idea what will happen with this pregnancy, but I
