"That's fine. The cruse doesn't leave for another week," he replied.
"Okay! Thanks babe!"
"Anything for my girl."

I sat in the doctors office, immpatiently tapping my foot on the floor. The overly sanitary smell had numbed my nose and my brain was bogged down with questions that swirled around at their own free will. The man behind the desk was staring rather intensely at his computer screen as the lady behind him watched with a raised eyebrow.
"Ms. Maka Albarn?" called a nurse.
"Hai," I replied before grabbing my belongings and following the nurse's lead.
I followed him down the hall and around a few corners before finally getting to the room where my check up would be held. I hated every step of it.
"Okay, so I heard you were put on medication to stop a stabbing pain in your side about two and a half months ago, correct?" he asked when I got sittuated.
"Yes. And they have been working very well and have brought it down to a slight pinching feeling," I replied.
"Perfect. And how many more do you have left?"
"Seventeen."
"Well, you'll be glad to know that once you finish those you will never have to take them again."
I sighed in relief before giving him a smile and a thank you before walking out the door to go home.

I sat in our little room on the cruse ship, feeling sick and very much thrown off balance. The room was spinning and my head hurt. Soul was out and about checking out the ship and avoiding girls who looked like they'd drool over him.
"I hate not being on solid ground," I grumbled as I fell onto my bed.
"Still want to be on this, babe? We haven't left port yet so we can still get our money back," remarked Soul as he entered the room.
"N-not really. I think I'd rather be on solid ground that doesn't sway under my feet, but I'll tough it out," I sat up.
"You're sure about that? Because honestly I'd rather know that you're happy and not going to complain over listening to you say how uneasy you feel."
I groaned. I hated seeing him give up something so easily just because I didn't feel good. I won't lie, I love that he's willing to do that kind of thing for me but I feel like he does it too much.
The captain blew the horn to announce our departure from the dock. Almost instantly I felt my stomach flip at the sudden sway that forced me back onto the bed.
"Ugh, I feel like I'm gonna throw up," I groaned as I laid on the bed next to Soul. "I guess it would have been better to have stayed on land."
"You are too cute, Maka, you know that?" asked Soul as he kissed my forehead. "And that is why I love you."
I gave a happy hum before pulling myself closer to him as if he was my lifeline.

I woke up with a jolt that night. My head was spinning and my side had begun hurting again. Soul was sound alseep beside me with drool coming out of his mouth.
"Soul-ah!" I whispered in pain.
"Maka, go back to sleep," he mumbled.
"Soul, the meds stopped working. They were supposed to get rid of it-"
I covered my mouth as a scream escaped my lips, waking Soul up immediately. His arms wrapped around me as he tried to get me to quiet down, but the pain was too much for me to handle.
"I'll be right back. I'm gonna call the doctor and alert the captain," he said as he slipped on pants and shoes.
"Hurry," I weakly managed.
