Isabelle-
That Friday morning, I woke up smiling. For once not worried about anything bad happening. I had a right to be this happy, didn't I?
"I don't feel so good", Mia came in holding her stomach.
"What's wrong?", I asked.
She laid beside me.
"I've been throwing up all morning and my head hurts pretty bad", she said.
I brushed her hair back. Her forehead was warm.
"Ok, no school for you", I said.
"Can you stay home with me?", she asked pouting.
"I don't work Fridays remember", I said.
She curled up under my covers.
"I'm cold", she mumbled.
I tucked her in tighter.
"I'll be right back", I said.
Going to Abel's room and getting him dressed for school.
"Aunt Mia's not going to school today, so when you get out you gotta wait for me in front of the office, ok", I said.
He nodded. I lifted his chin with one finger.
"I wish you would talk to me babe", I said.
He turned and grabbed his backpack. So many of his past teachers would always try to force him to talk or they'd tell me to make him. I wasn't about to force my child to do something he didn't want to do. If that makes me a bad parent then so be it.
"Ok lets go", I said.
I went to check on Mia before leaving.
"Hey I'm taking Abel to school, I'll be right back ok", I whispered to her.
She nodded. I kissed the side of her head.
"Want anything kiddo?", I asked.
"Please don't mention food right now", she groaned.
"Ok, I''ll be back as soon as I can", I said.
Abel and I got in the car. I saw my grandma outside of her house and as much as I didn't want to, I had to ask her to keep checking on Mia. I rolled my window down.
"What the hell do you want?", she asked.
"Yeah good morning grandma. Listen, Mia is sick can you check in on her? I have to drop off Abel then pick up my check", I said.
"Don't tell me she's pregnant", she said rolling her eyes.
"No she's not, so can you?", I asked.
"I guess", she said shrugging.
"Thanks", I said.
I drove off. Abel smiled at me.
I held on tight to my tear stained pillow. My whole body was shaking, I couldn't believe it. What Spencer had just done hurt me, my body and my mind completely shut down. I tried to block out most of what happened. I was afraid.
I shut my eyes.
"Take a shower and don't forget to make breakfast. I'm gonna go pick up my brother from the airport", he said.
I heard him walk away.
Spencer-
Once outside of my bedroom, I slid my body down to the floor. What did I just do, I just tried to rape my wife. Tears escaping my eyes. I took my phone out, I hit Darren's number.
"Hello", he answered.
"We need to talk. I almost did something, something bad", I whispered.
"Where are you?", he asked.
"My house", I replied.
"I'll be there as soon as I can", he said.
"Hurry, my brother gets here today", I said.
I put my phone down. I got up and went to Abel's room. He was playing with his toys.
"Is mommy ok?", he asked.
More tears slid down my cheeks. I sat beside him.
"I don't know", I said to him.
He nodded and went back to his toys.
"Is she coming to the game tonight?", Roman asked.
"Yeah, I'm picking her up", I said.
"So how long did you two agree to wait again?", Dolph asked.
"We didn't actually say how long, I just, it came out and I don't know. I sent want to put more pressure", I said.
They stared at me, eyes wide.
"So how long would you wait?", Seth asked.
I thought about it.
"What if she told you, hey Dean lets wait a whole year, you would say?", Dolph asked.
"That's too long", Kane said.
"Way too fucking long", Randy agreed.
I pointed at Randy and Kane.
"What they said", I said.
"So then what is your wait time?", Roman asked.
"Two months?", I asked.
They laughed.I shrugged.
"Well then how long should I wait? Since you're all experienced and shit", I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Nikki and I waited three months", Roman said.
"Same with Paige", Seth said.
"Then I'll wait three months", I said.
Randy chuckled.
"Can the famous Dean one night stand Ambrose actually go through with it and wait that long?", Randy asked.
"I know, can you go that long without sex?", Kane asked.
"You won't like explode will you?", Dolph asked.
I sighed. I knew they were just making fun of me.
"I'm willing to do that, for her", I said.
"Awe", they all said.
"Alright I'm done talking to you guys, you're no help", I said.
I went to the back room. Hunter came in.
"Sir", I said.
"You should talk to her about how long you should wait. What if she wants to wait longer or shorter time", he said.
"How do I bring it up? I can barely ask her out", I said sitting down.
He sat down across from me.
"Just ask, there's no perfect way to do it", he said.
I nodded.
"I've never seen you so nervous Ambrose", he smirked.
I chuckled and then looked down at my feet.
"I've also never seen you so happy", he said.
I nodded.
"Ask her at the game, pull her aside or take her for a walk", he said getting up.
He started to walk out but stopped.
"Word of advice, stay away from Renee. Don't even make eye contact, all of your attention on Isabelle", he said.
"Ok, thanks", I said.
He sent me a nod and left. I took my phone out and texted Izzy.
"I can't wait to see you", I sent.
I smiled when she replied back quickly.
"Is that your way of saying you miss me?
If so, I miss you too. See you later", she sent back.
I smiled and put my phone away.
