She's My Sleeping Pill

Over dinner, Cayenne told her stepfather that he needed to move out of Peach Wood and live in her house together with Luiz and Kyle. In this way, they will be able to spend more time together.

"So, tomorrow, we will help you move out your things and clean the house as well." Cayenne stated before turning to her husband. "Are we moving our things, too?"

"I don't think they will agree to that. Let's just leave our things there. In any case, we'll visit them from time to time so, it will be good if we have a room of our own. And there are enough room for them to stay. I guess it won't be a problem."

"Alright, then." Cayenne nodded in response to his statement before he continued to eat.

Usually, when they're at home, only Erwin ate together with them. The security guards will eat in batch in order to make sure that someone will be able to watch over the safety of the people inside the house and double check the security measures around the house.

But if they're outside, they would eat together but the guards will be sitting from different places where they can observe the movements of the crowd.

Just like right now, only three guards were eating in the kitchen while the rest were still patrolling the area. Once the three of them finishes their meal, another group of three will come to eat.

"How about we hire a helper?" Cayenne thought. "I'm not really looking for a helper who will work around the house and do all chores but just someone who can cook and wash the dishes. After all, we have so many people who eats at different times."

"I don't mind that. I can certainly find someone like that." Stefan replied while removing the bones of the fried fish that Cayenne wanted to eat.

Yesterday, she ate a lot of fried fishes that his Uncle Stan cooked. Earlier when they arrived, she also requested to have fried fish which made Erwin cook the fish at the very last minute.

Stefan didn't think too much about it but he was a bit worried. 'Is she pregnant?' He asked himself and he really wanted to buy a PT stick for her but Cayenne wasn't saying anything. She knows her body more than anyone else. She would be saying something if she's indeed pregnant knowing that it's her happiness. 'I might be just thinking too much' Stefan told himself and shrugged off this idea from his head.

As if to answer his question and to clear his doubt, the next morning, Cayenne was curling her body from pain once again. Her menstruation period came bringing dysmenorrhea to her.

Stefan immediately noticed her discomfort and when he checked the time, it was still four in the morning. The date of her period wasn't regular but he noticed that it would always come around night time or when the dawn was just breaking.

"Honey, just hold on for a minute. I'll be right back. Don't move or go anywhere else. If you need something just give me a call." Stefan didn't bother wearing his slippers and ran out of the room to go downstairs. He heated four glasses of water and placed them inside the compress bag.

As soon as he was done, he ran back upstairs and placed it on her lower tummy, rubbing it to on her skin to give her a little comfort. Her forehead was dotted with cold sweat which worried him so much. "Hon, can you do this by yourself? I'll downstairs again to make you some ginger soup."

"No. Don't go. Just stay here, okay? I will be fine. Just don't leave me." Cayenne mumbled with her eyes closed. She looked so exhausted.

She really hated her period. Other women have no problem during these times of the month but there are women who suffer from dysmenorrhea just like her. Thankfully, she's got her husband beside her.

Stefan wiped her forehead with a face towel while rubbing the hot compress on her lower stomach. Their bedsheet was already stained with her blood but Stefan didn't care at all. He can just wash it later once she's doing a little bit better.

"I really thought that you're pregnant because you were craving for fried fish which was really rare." Stefan spoke while she remained lying on their bed.

"I'd be very happy if your thought has happened but sadly, I was just simply craving for that food." Cayenne replied in whisper. "Whenever we thought of me being pregnant, my period comes the next day. I hate this."

"Don't hate it. It's a proof of your strength." Stefan kissed her face and rubbed the space between her eyebrow. "You'll have wrinkles if you keep frowning."

"Then, I'll go to some derma clinic and use your money to treat my wrinkles."

Stefan chuckled with her response as he continued to rub the compress on her stomach. "It's still four in the morning. Why don't you get some sleep?"

"I don't want to."

"Why?"

"I need to change my clothes as soon as I'm feeling better."

"Don't think too much about that. It's just you and me here. You can change later. I don't mind."

"Okay. I'll try to get some sleep." Cayenne whispered, just letting Stefan do the work while she's trying to fall asleep once again. Stefan covered her with the blanket, ignoring the fact that it will be stained by blood. Feeling a little bit more comfortable, Cayenne fell asleep once again.

Stefan looked at her tired face and sighed. "If only I can take this pain away from you." He mumbled while keeping his hand moving in rotating motion on her lower stomach.

He knew that it was still early but he still sent a message to Luiz, asking him to prepare a ginger soup for his sister as soon as he wakes up.

When Luiz woke up at six, he first checked his phone and found Stefan's message. He instantly got out of bed and washed his face. Whenever Cayenne experience the excruciating pain of dysmenorrhea, it was Luiz who will make her ginger soup in the past. Recently, it was her husband but since Stefan asked him for help, Luiz knew that his sister must be clinging on to him now.

"I'm on it." He sent this reply to Stefan and ran out of his room to go downstairs and make some ginger soup for Cayenne. He busied himself and later on, Erwin also woke up to water the vegetables at the backyard. One after another, the whole family finally came out of their room except for Cayenne and Stefan. And when they saw Luiz making ginger soup, they already knew why the two weren't coming out yet.

Kyle and his father decided to make breakfast for everyone since they needed lots of strength to move his things and to clean the house in Peach Wood.

Obviously, Cayenne won't be able to go with them this time. And since she won't be able to go, it's already given that Stefan won't be able to go either. After all, his number one priority has always been his wife.
