The next day came quick and Mike was up before and decided to go ahead and get cleaned up even though he wanted to go out on a run before anything but he didn't want to leave Vanessa alone. After getting dressed he walked down and started a pot of coffee and then went about starting on breakfast. While he was finding something to make Randy was awake and on the phone with Amanda and talking about their kids as Amanda was getting ready to leave on vacation and take the kids to her parents as it was spring break and they would be gone for the week back to Florida then back Seattle for school on Monday. Randy finally climbed out of bed and pulled on his breakaways and a shirt and walked down to see who was up.
"Morning." Randy said to Mike who was reading over some paperwork for one of his cases.
"Morning yourself. Want some coffee?" Mike asked
"Sure, but I can get it." Randy said "How did you two sleep?"
"Well after getting yelled at as I wanted to cuddle and hold her from behind so I could place my hand on the baby that I have every other time. But she flipped out and she ended up sleeping up against my chest." Mike said as he watched Randy pour himself coffee and then sat down at the table.
"Ah. I am happy that she slept through the night." Randy said
"Same here. I know that John and Bella are headed over sometime today as her parents are keeping twins and the girls can have a girls day out." Mike said
"John told me the same thing. I have to head home soon as Amanda and the kids are leaving for spring break and they be back for a week." Randy said
As the morning passed Vanessa was waking up and eased herself out of bed and headed to the bathroom and used it then decided to head down to find something to eat, as she could smell eggs and coffee. Even though she didn't like coffee the smell of it is what got to her. After changing clothes she made her way down the stairs. Even though she had to go through the living room to get to the kitchen she was worried that it would all come back to her. Vanessa sat down on the stairs not wanting to relive the attack like she did every time she closed her eyes anymore. Mike cleaned up the kitchen knowing that once Vanessa felt like eating he would make her something or run and get her something. Randy was headed back upstairs when he saw that Vanessa as sitting down on the stairs.
"Hey you how are you feeling?" Randy asked
"Drained, scared and upset." Vanessa answered
"Oh can you tell me why?" Randy asked
"Randy, I don't want to go past the living room as that is where the attack happened and every time I close my eyes I relive it all and I hate that. I yelled at Mike last night as he tried to hold me from behind me and place a hand on the baby but when he did that I thought it was Daniel which scared me. I hate this and want to move on and grow in the pregnancy and get married to Mike." Vanessa said
"Oh." Randy said
"But how can I do that if I can't get past my own living room?" Vanessa asked.
"That hon I don't know what to tell ya. I know it scares you hell it would me as well." Randy said
"Ugh you are no help Randy but thanks for talking." Vanessa told him
"Not a problem that is hat friends are for. How about we get you settled back into bed as I don't want you on your feet." Randy said.
Mike heard them talking and knew what needed to be done. Mike a few years back had bought land right next door to John Cena and the back yard fence led to Randy's house. Mike walked over to the stairs and smiled at Vanessa who smiled back. Both Mike and Randy helped Vanessa stand up and then back up and into her and Mike's master bedroom. With Mike's help. Once Vanessa was settled back into their bed, Randy said that he wanted to get vitals on Vanessa and then listen tot he baby. While Randy walked down to grab his stethosocpe and doppler and walked back down to where Mike and Vanessa were talking.
"Mike" Vanessa said quietly as they were laying next to each other and both had their hands on the baby.
"What sweetheart?" Mike asked before pressing a kiss to her forehead.
"I love you and I want you to make love to me. I still feel so dirty from what Daniel did to me." Vanessa said
"I would love to make love to you baby. But I would like to wait a few more days till Randy has cleared you." Mike told her and Vanessa just nodded her head in agreement.
Randy walked into the room and smiled at the couple who were wrapped up in their love for each other but also in each others arms. Randy listened to Vanessa first and grabbed her blood pressure and was happy that her heart and lungs were clear and that her blood pressure was where it should be as well. Randy pressed around gently on Vanessa's stomach to locate their baby and finally found it. Rand listened to the heartbeat and all three had tears in their eyes when hearing the heartbeat was steady, and strong. Mike then decided to asked Randy about having sex and Randy told them to wait about four more days then he would check her cervix and make sure that she was no longer bruised there and not so tender.
It wasn't long after lunch that John and Bella came over and the girls were just relaxing upstairs in bed and watching movies and also talking. Bella arrived Mike pulled her aside and wanted to talk to her for a minute about finding a new place or stay here. Bella told Mike she would find out for him.
Bella walked upstairs and smiled at her best friend who was sitting up in bed and trying to find something on TV to watch. "Hey babe what is up?"
"Well the ceiling , the light the fan sheet rock and a lot fo other things." Vanessa responded
"Smartass" Bella said while climbing onto the bed next to Vanessa and the two girls hugged as it had been a few days since they has seen each other.
"Always and you have known me for how long Bella?" Vanessa asked
"A long time. How are you feeling?" Bella asked
"Tender right now. I slept through the night and Randy was able to give me something for pain. But the pain is slowly coming back." Vanessa said
"That isn't good honey. I am so sorry. So you know I wont be returning to work there. After what he did to you was wrong and I have heard that he has several ladies from work on his arm as well." Bella said
"Why does that not surprise me? I am shocked that Layla is the only one that is pregnant." Vaness stated as she tried to get comfy in bed and she couldn't find a position that she was comfy in at all.
"Are you okay Nessa?" Bella asked
"No to be honest. I am scared about being here. I wanted to go down and eat breakfast but I was scared to go past the living room as it brings back what all Daniel did to me in there, I relive it each time I close my eyes." Vanessa told her best friend.
"Let me guess what you are saying and that is either find another house or build one right?" Bella asked
"You are right. I don't know how to tell Mike though, this was his first house. I know he has land next to you and John and the fence line for the backyard lines up with Randy. I don't know how much longer I can stay here and feel like my normal self again. Plus knowing that Daniel can show up when he wants scares me as well." Vanessa stated as she rolled over in bed and faced Bella as she started to cry.
Bella started to rub her back to comfort Vanessa as best as she could. Bella could tell that Vanessa wasn't feeling good and sent a text down to Mike to have him come up. Mike wasted no time in heading up to see what was going on.
"Nessa honey what is wrong?" Mike asked as he sat down on the bed behind her and started to rub his hand up and down her back to comfort her as Bella had done.
"Just upset Mike. Please don't be mad at me, but I don't know if I can keep staying here, not after being attacked in my own home, everytime I walk by there I relive it." Vanessa said as she rolled to face him.
"It is okay honey. I am not mad that is why I had Bella talk to you about it. We could rent a condo while we build would that be okay with you?" Mike asked
"That is fine with me Mike. I love you." Vanessa said as she curled into a ball
"What is wrong Nessa?" Mike asked
"Cramping some can you get Randy please?" Vanessa asked
"Bella can you run down and get Randy please." Mike asked
Bella nodded her head in agreement and walked down and explained the sitiatoin to Randy who followed her back up the stairs and into the bedroom.
"Hey Nessa what is wrong?" Randy asked quietly
"I am cramping Randy. What could be wrong?" Vanessa asked
"Probably stress honey. Why don't I listen and we can go from there honey is that okay?" Randy asked as he found his doppler and asked Nessa to lift her tank top and lower her yoga pants. While Randy looked for the baby he finally located it and heard Bella gasp when she saw Nessa's stomach.
"Bella what is wrong?" Mike asked
"John told me last night about all the bruises but seeing them first hand is scary." Bella said as tears formed in her eyes.
"Nessa the baby is in a tight little ball from all the stress. I can give you some pain meds that will also relax you and that will also help the baby relax are you okay with that?" Randy asked
Vanessa just nodded her head in agreement and started to cry. Randy quickly got the medication ready and then gave Nessa a shot and Mike helped her up and she used the bathroom and once she was back in bed Bella laid down with her and waived the guys out of the room so Vaness could rest.
