A/N: I only own the OC.
Thank you for the reviews!
I finally went to bed after midnight. Karl had a huge house, so the kids and Mom were upstairs and I was going to sleep in the converted basement. Finn had already gone to bed in one of the lower bedrooms, and I was going to take the other one. I walked down there and turned on the light to see stuff everywhere when I realized they must have been moving stuff. I sighed as I turned off the light and laid down on the sofa that was in front of his gaming systems. I fell asleep quickly. I was tired.
Finn POV
I woke up in the middle of the night and was thirsty. I got up and walked out to find Leela sleeping on the sofa. She looked uncomfortable and cold. I carefully picked her up and cradled her in my arms. She tried to push away, but I held her tighter.
"Dash?" she mumbled and I sighed. I wished she hadn't said his name. I didn't like that they were dating, and I didn't feel like he would treat her well. I didn't say anything as I walked into the room. I got ready to sit her down when she started to fight me a little bit more.
"I don't want to have sex right now... you hurt me last time." she mumbled and I almost dropped her when I heard that. I wasn't expecting that as I laid her down on the bed. She curled up and I covered her up. I wasn't thirsty anymore and laid back down next to her. She felt me move and cuddled up to me. I wrapped my arm around her and fell back asleep listening to her breathing. I needed to try and figure out what to do with what I had I just found out.
Leela POV
I woke up the next morning and felt a body against mine. I looked over my shoulder and saw Finn. I quickly looked to see if I was still wearing clothes, and I was... I was glad for that. I snuck out and headed upstairs. Mom was starting coffee as I sat down.
"Morning." she said and I gave a small wave. She chuckled at me and sat down across from me. I knew that I must have looked out of it... I wan't feeling great.
"I thought you were dating someone named, Dash." she said and I raised an eyebrow at her. I wondered what Karl had told her, or she came downstairs sometime to check on us and saw me with Finn. I still wasn't even sure how I ended up in the bed with him.
"I am." I said as I felt a pain my throat... it must have been from sleeping with a fan directly blowing on me. I was also achy. I didn't want to be sick right now.
"So, you and Finn..." she was asking and I shook my head very fast and felt it rattle. I didn't want to get sick.
"No, I'm his PA. He is Karl's best friend, and the boy's uncle. We aren't going to ever be anymore more than just friends." I said as it hurt when I swallowed.
"You have a sore throat?" she asked me and I nodded. I didn't want to get sick right now.
"Yeah, I'm going to get an early flight. I don't want to get anyone sick with the new baby." I said and she nodded as she handed me a cup of coffee. I found a flight that left at 9 am, but I had to leave right now. I hugged Mom and left before anyone else got up. I was happy to be going home. I wanted my own bed. I texted Karl before I left and he sent me a picture of Cash from that morning with T.
I made it back to Orlando and I had told Dash that I was coming back. He insisted on picking me up. He met me in baggage claim, and hugged me.
"Are you ok?" he asked me as I sniffled and shook my head.
"No, it's been slowly getting worse since this morning." I said and he grabbed my bags before we headed to the truck. He took me to a minute clinic and I had a sever sinus infection. I was just glad to get a shot to help me and some other things. I was actually glad that Dash was with me. He took me home and helped me take my things inside.
"I'm going to run you a bath." he said and I nodded. I just wanted to feel better. He did it and I stripped out of my clothes as he helped me sit in the bathtub. I sighed as I let the warm water soak me.
"You want to join me?" I asked him as he rubbed my back with a warm cloth and he chuckled.
"You enjoy that, but I will sit here with you." he said as he stripped off his tank top and sat in the floor with me. He kissed my temple and I sat there until the water got cold. He helped me out and dried me off with a fluffy towel that he had stuck in the dyer. I was so grateful for him right now.
"Thank you." I said as I slipped on some pj bottoms and a tank top.
"You are welcome... what would you like for dinner?" he asked me and I sighed.
"Dash, you probably need to go so you don't get sick." I said and he kissed me before I could stop him. I shook my head as he chuckled.
"Oops." he said and I rolled my eyes as we decided on Chinese because I could get soup, and he could get a lot of food. We ordered and snuggled up on the sofa so that I could watch the Harry Potter marathon that SYFY was running again. He was sitting on the couch and I was laying against him as he ran his hands up and down my arm.
"You are the best boyfriend." I said and he chuckled.
"You are a pretty amazing girlfriend." he said as he kissed my temple and I shook my head.
"You won't say that when you get sick." I mumbled and he chuckled as someone knocked on my door. He got it and brought it to the table. We ate and he left after I took some more medicine that made me sleepy. I was almost asleep when my phone rang and I saw that it was Finn. I sighed and answered it.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey, are you ok?" Finn asked me.
"Yes, I have a bad sinus infection." I said and I heard the boys in the background.
"You just kind of left this morning..." he said and he sounded kind of sad about it.
"I was surprised to wake up next to you and I wasn't feeling good. I didn't want T or the baby to get sick because I had been there." I said and heard him sigh.
"Oh, I was going to talk to you about some stuff." he said and I rolled my eyes as they started to get heavier. I was tired and the meds were kicking in fast.
"Finn, I need to go. I don't feel well. We can talk when we both get back on the road in a few days." I said and he started to say something, but I cut him off.
"Bye, Finn." I said and hung up. I knew that whatever he wanted to say could wait.
Finn POV
I was trying to talk to Leela when she hung up.
"Sure, Leela, I was just calling to tell you that I like you." I said to no one in particular since she had hung up.
"Excuse me?" a voice said and I turned to see Karl coming out on the patio. I looked at him and knew this could go one of two ways.
A/N: How will Karl feel about this?
