Blessing in Disguise

Chapter 9

A couple of hours later Charlotte returned home from a busy day at work and all she wanted to do was stay home and snuggle with her man and spend her time with the guys.

Thankfully her boss let her have a week off to rest.

As she got home, she heard the tv was on and the guys hooting and hollering knowing they were watching a sports game on tv. She shook her head and giggled. They were like little boys getting all riled up and excited.

She finally let her long curly chestnut locks from her butterfly clip letting it loose tumbling on her shoulders like a waterfall. She placed her clip in her uniform pocket and walked in the livingroom to see PJ,Stu,Heath,and Rycklon on the couch watching ESPN football and they were cheering for their favoring teams.

"Hey boys."She greeted them as she put her jacket up on the jacket rack.

"Baby,you're home."PJ heard her and turned around to see his beautiful girlfriend hopping off the couch and came to give her a kiss.

"Well...this is a good welcome home greeting I love to get more often."She giggled against his lips.

"How was work?"He asked her.

"Good and got to take care of some of the babies down at the NICU and one of the little one's got to go home after she had very minimal complications after the mother gave birth but everything seemed to be okay but glad to be home."She said wrapping her arms around PJ and just letting him hold her.

"Hey sweetheart."Stu spoke up as he approached the cute couple.

"Hey big guy."She greeted the English man with a hug after breaking away from her boyfriend.

"How was work this afternoon?"He asked as they sat down at the table not wanting to watch the game anymore and left the other boys on their own.

"Pretty good and nothing too hectic for this girl to handle."She told him as she,PJ,and Stu went to sit at the table to talk.

"Good to hear everything went smoothly and glad to see you home safe and sound."The big Brit was glad to hear as PJ had to agree with him glad to see his girlfriend was home.

"So...did everything go well here at the house?"She asked them.

"Yeah we were good boys and everything is in tip top condition as we left it."PJ responded that Stud did his job well manning the fort,taking care of them, and left some left overs for everyone incase anybody got hungry during the night.

"Good to hear you guys had a good day too but I missed my boys and my baby so much."Telling them honestly how she felt.

"We left some food for you and the girl's if anyone gets hungry later."He showed her where the food was.

"Thank you Stu, that was very thoughtful."Charlotte smiled and patted his shoulder.

"It's no problem at all love."He smiled warmly at her.

"Why don't you and PJ go on and talk, I'm sure he wants to spend more time with you. I'm gonna join the guys for a little bit then say hit the hay."Stu didn't mind that his best bud and his friend spend time together and they deserved the time to go and have fun.

"Are you sure Stu?"PJ asked him if it was alright.

"Yeah bud..you and your girl go on and have fun, me and the guys are gonna watch the rest of the game then head to bed a little early tonight."The green eyed man reassured patting PJ on the back and clasped Charlotte's hand into PJ's and ushered them to talk before walking away.

"Do you want to go outside to the backyard and just sit and talk?"The African wrestler asked taking Charlotte's hand as she nodded smiling.

"That was really nice of Stu to do that."She mentioned what he did earlier with their hands and make them go out and be able to spend time together.

"Yeah it was and I think he likes your friend Dina."PJ said as he found the porch swing on the side of the house as they sat together just relaxing.

"I think she likes him too. We were just talking about them earlier on the way to work."She explained as she laid her head on his shoulder with their fingers intertwined together.

"Heath and I noticed Stu was making googly eyes at Dina and undressing her with his eyes."He laughed teasing the bigger man that was inside with the guys chilling.

"I can just imagine."She giggled knowing how the redhead felt about him.

"I'm sure one of these days they'll get together."She said with a smile on her face.

"Knowing those two...they will."He agreed with his girlfriend swinging with her on the swing.

"Long day at work for you huh babe?"He looked down at her tired eyes as she gave out a small yawn.

"MMmhmmmm but it was all worth it."She smiled loving taking care of the babies at the NICU and hoped one day she would be able to have children and love them that much as she loved the babies at the hospital.

"I've been really lucky to take care of those children and saving their lives after birthing complications and such plus seeing the smile on the parents faces when they're able to take their babies home after they stay in the hospital for days,weeks, or even months depending how long they recover."Charlotte felt her job was really important to her and she wanted to make a difference and that's why she wanted to become a nurse.

"Do you want kids someday Char?"PJ was curious as he sat there and played with his girlfriend's long locks of chestnut hair.

"Yeah...I always wanted babies of my own and I hope to be a great mother when I have one myself."She explained how she wanted a family to raise.

"You'd be a great mommy one day I'm sure."The African man complimented her with a smile.

"Thanks babe."She appreciated his compliment looking up as he cupped her chin to kiss her.

"Do you want kids too someday Peej?"His girlfriend was curious to know.

"Yeah I love kids and would love have some of my own one day."PJ told her honestly.

"We would make one hell of a team when we become parents someday."PJ smiled and kissed his girlfriend.

"I hope so sweetie."She said as she snuggled up in his arms as PJ had his strong arms around her as they swung back and forth on the porch swing.

"Where are Char and PJ?"Heath asked Stu since everything became quiet.

"Outside talking so I pushed the two together and try and spend time together, I'm sure they'll be back inside later."Stu said turning to the redhead one man rock band.

"Oh by the way,I'm ordering pizza for dinner for everyone so let PJ and Charlotte know if they're hungry."Stu instructed Heath to tell the couple who were together just sitting at the porch swing talking softly to one another.

"Sure thing."The one man rock band followed as he went straight to the kitchen that led to the porch.

Gently opening the sliding door, he popped his head quickly to notify them.

"Char, Jus...Stu is ordering pizza for dinner for all of us and wanted to know if you two were hungry."Heath mentioned to the sweet couple.

PJ and Charlotte smiled at the redhead who appeared at the door."Sure I'm starving any way...what about you babe?"She turned to her boyfriend.

"I can go for pizza as well thanks Heath."PJ let his bestfriend know as he nodded closing the sliding door walking away to let Stu know and leaving the couple to their privacy.

As soon as the pizza arrived, Stu thanked the delivery guy and paid him.

"Heath,call the two love birds inside and tell them dinner is ready."The Englishman said as Zeke helped him set up.

"Sure thing man."The one man rockband nodded after getting his slice of pizza and putting it on the table since it was still hot.

"Hey you two, dinner's ready."The southern man announced to Charlotte and PJ as he opened the sliding door to get their attention.

The two got up as soon as they heard him and intertwined their fingers together to join the boys for pizza and movie night.
