I woke up the next morning and couldn’t help but notice how angelic Justin looked sleeping next to me with the sun hitting his face just right. I smiled as I crawled out of bed and went to get a shower before Brayden got up. I quickly got dressed and snuck out of the room careful not to wake Justin figuring the least I could do after the day before was to let him sleep in. I made my way towards Brayden’s room and saw that he was still peacefully sleeping so I made my way downstairs to get breakfast started.
“Good morning.” I said to my mom as I poured myself a cup of coffee and sat down beside her.
“Morning.” She smiled at me.
“Did Brayden have fun last night?” I asked “You know you could of woke me up when you guys got back.”
“He had a blast and he fell asleep in the car on the way home so there wasn’t any sense in waking you up.” My mom replied as she got up and put her coffee cup in the sink.
“Oh okay…” I said trailing off as I picked up the paper.
“Abby, listen.” My mom started grabbing the paper out of my hands to get my attention.
“What?” I asked looking up at her confused.
“Mom called me yesterday and she has to have surgery at the end of the week so I’m going to have to fly out there for a couple weeks to help her when she gets home from the hospital.”
“Oh, okay is everything alright with her?”I asked.
“Yeah it should be fine, she’s just going to be sore for a little while after so she won’t be able to do much for herself.” My mom said.
“Alright that’s fine, when are you leaving?” I asked as Brayden came into the kitchen.
“Morning Momma!” Brayden giggled as he came over and jumped into my arms.
“Morning baby, I missed you yesterday.” I said giving him a kiss.
“I know do you feel better?” Brayden asked looking up at me.
“Yes, I do baby, now what would you like for breakfast?” I asked.
“Waffles!” Brayden exclaimed as I chuckled and got up to get them out of the freezer.
“So I have a flight later today do you think you can run me to the airport?” My mom asked.
“Yeah that’s fine.”I said as Brayden’s waffles popped up and I put them on a plate and brought them over to him.
“Okay well I’m going to go pack then.”My mom said as she got up and walked out of the kitchen.
Brayden finished eating and finally asked “Where’s daddy?” “He is still asleep, he’ll be up in a little while.” I said as I continued to clean up the kitchen.
“Uh oh, did you get him sick?” Brayden asked as he looked up to me with big eyes.
I couldn’t help but laugh “No baby, he is just tired.” I said “Why don’t you go watch some tv while I finish up cleaning then we’ll play a game.”
“Okay.”Brayden shrugged as he bounced out of the room.
Just then Justin came down the back stairs and into the kitchen and wrapped his arms around my waist. “Why didn’t you wake me up?” Justin asked as he placed little kisses by my ear.
“You were so good to me yesterday I figured I’d let you sleep in for a little bit today.”I said as I turned around in his arms and wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him down for a kiss.
“Well thank you, but you didn’t have to do that.”Justin mumbled still kissing me.
“Mmmm…” I started as Justin pulled me closer to him, “as much as I would love to stay here and kiss you all day I have to take my mom to the airport.”I said slowly pulling away.
“Why? Where is she going?” Justin asked reluctantly pulling away and pouring himself a cup of coffee.
“I guess my grandma is having surgery and needs some help so she’s flying out to Washington.” I shrugged.
“Oh, so that means we get the whole house to ourselves for a while?”Justin asked coming up behind me and slipping his arms around my waist.
“Yes….”I giggled as I turned around in his arms.
“Well this could get interesting.”Justin growled as he bent down and kissed me.
“You’re so bad.”I giggled as I pushed him away and turned around to finish the dishes.
When I got back from the airport that night I found Justin on the couch watching a basketball game. “Hey” Justin said grinning up at me as I fell on the couch beside him my head instantly hitting his shoulder “What’s wrong?” he asked wrapping his arm around me.
“I don’t know, I’m just really tired, probably just still not back on track from yesterday.”I said clinging to him.
“Yeah, probably.” Justin said not looking up from the game.
“I’m going to go shower and go to bed, finish watching the game.” I said as I slowly got up.
“You sure? I can come up with you if you want.” Justin said finally looking up from the game.
“No, it’s okay, I really don’t feel that well and I just want to take a hot shower and go to sleep.” I said slowly making my way up the stairs and Justin just nodded and turned back to his game.
I got upstairs and turned the shower on and immediately turned around and puked into the toilet before collapsing on the floor in tears. I wasn’t sure why I felt so bad all of a sudden, I was fine this morning, just tired all day. So, now I wasn’t completely sure that this was still remnants of the hangover. I sighed as I crawled into the shower and just sat there letting the water crash down around me as I continued to cry.
Probably twenty minutes later I heard the door slowly open “Babe, you okay?” Justin asked as he walked towards the shower and slowly pulled back the curtain to see me in a ball on the shower floor.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” Justin asked frantically as he turned the water off and pulled me up into his arms wrapping a towel around me.
“I don’t know, I just don’t feel good.”I cried as he set me down on the bed and sat beside me.
“What’s wrong?” Justin asked confused brushing a piece of hair out of my face.
“I don’t know, I thought it was just from yesterday, but when I came upstairs I all of a sudden just felt really sick until I got sick.”I mumbled clinging to him.
“Well you don’t feel fevered.” Justin mumbled as he slowly got up.
“Where are you going?”I whined reaching for him.
“Just to see if there’s any medicine in the bathroom.”Justin said disappearing into the bathroom as I just moaned.
“Here take this.”Justin said as he handed me a couple flu pills and a glass of water. I took it and immediately curled up on Justin’s chest and tried to go to sleep.
The next morning Justin found me in a ball on the bathroom floor. “Babe, you look miserable, maybe you should try and get in to see the dr. today.” Justin said handing me a washcloth and sitting on the floor beside me. I just nodded leaning into his chest not having the energy to do anything else.
“Ok I’ll call.”Justin chuckled kissing my forehead and pulling his phone out of his pocket. I sat up and puked again before shakily getting up and making my way back to bed.
“3 oclock ok?”Justin asked following me into the bedroom. I just nodded as he hung up the phone and sat down beside me.
“Babe I love you, but I have that meeting today at two, are you sure you can make it to the dr. by yourself?” Justin asked rubbing my back.
“Yeah, I’ll be fine, can you just keep Brayden busy til then, maybe wear him out some?”I asked looking up.
“No problem, I love you angel.” Justin said before he kissed my forehead and walked out of the room.
