Chapter Thirty-Five
* Heaven has been in a drug-induced sleep on Takers bed for about two hours. Kane has made Jazz lay down on his bed and she is in a light sleep. Edge is sitting in a chair in front of the television watching Courage the Dog with out sound. Kane has finally stopped pacing and is sitting on the edge of his bed behind Taker who is facing Heaven. Taker is still sitting in the chair holding Heavens hand in his. Kane places a hand on Takers shoulder. Heaven has called out for Taker a few times in her sleep. All of a sudden there is some loud knocking on the door to the room. Edge looks over at Kane who has risen to get the door. *
Something tells me a pissed off big brother is here.
Yeah Edge I think that you are probably right.
* Kane walks over and opens up the door. Rob was just about to knock again when Kane opens it. With him are Bradshaw, Lita, Jeff, Matt, X-Pac, Hunter and Chyna. Kane steps back so that they can all enter. Rob walks over to the opposite side of the bed then Taker is on. He sits down on the edge of it with Bradshaw standing behind him. Everyone else just comes in and stands or sits around. Jazz has woken up and is sitting up. Lita and Chyna go to sit one the bed next to her. Rob leans over and lightly kiss Heavens forehead causing her to open up her eyes. She looks into his eyes and immediately starts to cry. He takes her hand noticing for the first time that Taker is holding her other hand. He can tell that she is hanging on to Takers hand with all her strength. He glares over at Taker who just glares back for a second. She is slowly crying herself back to sleep. Rob leans over and brushes a piece of hair out of her eyes. He then begins to talks very softly to her. *
It's ok Heaven I'm here and no one is going to hurt you. No one is ever going to hurt you like this again. I'm going to take you back to Bradshaw and my room for the night. That way we can watch over you.
No. No Rob please I want to stay here. I'm safe here.
Honey you will be safer where Bradshaw and I can watch over you. So you just go back to sleep and let me take care of you.
No please I'm safe here. I want to stay here.
* Rob goes to argue with her till Bradshaw reaches out and places a hand on his shoulder causing him to look up at Bradshaw. *
Hey man if she feels safe here then let her feel safe.
* Rob goes to open his mouth to argue but changes his mind. He shakes his head ok at Bradshaw. He then turns back to Heaven who is watching him. *
Ok kiddo if this is where you feel safe then this is where you will stay for tonight.
Thank you Rob. Bradshaw I owe you one.
* Bradshaw leans pass Rob and kisses her on the forehead. *
Don't worry kid I will collect one of these days.
Pasta?
Yeah Pasta.
You're on.
Good. Now close those eyes of yours and go back to sleep. Rob and I will be here in the morning when you wake up. Along with a handful of other people.
Ok.
* He stands back up and pats Rob on the shoulder. He then goes over and sits with Edge and X-Pac who are watching cartoons without sound. Lita Chyna and Jazz are all sitting on the other bed talking softly. Matt and Hunter are sitting on the couch while Kane starts to pace the room again. Heaven looks over at Taker who smiles at her. Heaven looks over at Kane who is pacing back and forth. *
Hey Big Red?
* Kane looks over at Heaven and then come up along side the bed next to Taker. He sits on the edge of it and leans down. She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him lightly on the cheek. He kisses her back on the forehead. *
Quit pacing I'm going to be fine. And that is thanks to Taker, Edge and you. Thanks.
* There are tears flowing down her face. Kane wipes them away with his big hand being careful of the bruises on her face. *
Little one you are safe here.
I know that Big Red. I'm just tired is all.
Then close those eyes and go to sleep. No one is going to hurt you again as long as I have any thing to say about it. You're not alone here Heaven remember?
Yeah. I do and thank you.
* Kane leans down and kisses her head one more time. He then gets up and walks into the bathroom so that no one can see that there are tears in his eyes. Rob leans down and kisses her lightly on the cheek. *
Hey kid he isn't going to get anywhere near you.
* She looks into Rob's eyes and can tell that he knows that Paulie is getting out on Friday. She looks away but still ask him. *
How long have you known?
Since this evening when a Utah cop called my cell because you changed your number.
Oh.
We will talk about it tomorrow.
No. I don't want to talk about it. I don't care anymore.
Honey not now ok.
* She looks at him and starts to cry softly. She is still hanging on to Takers hand. Kane has come out of the bathroom. He goes and sits down on the couch with Hunter. Taker leans forward looking her straight in the eyes. He then leans forward and kisses her gently on the lips. She kisses him back before he pulls away. Rob looks away so that Heaven doesn't see the disapproval in his eyes. No one in the room misses the kiss. *
Little one it's time for you to close those eyes of yours and get some rest.
But.
No we will all be here in the morning so sleep now.
* He reaches forward and moves a piece of hair out of her eyes. He then leans down and whispers into her ear. *
Don't worry little girl your brother and I won't do anything to each other. At least not tonight so you can close your eyes and sleep.
Promise?
Yes I promise,
* She looks over at Rob who is watching her. She knows that he had heard what Taker had said to her. So she talks to Rob this time. *
What about you there big brother?
I won't do anything tonight but tomorrow you and I am going to have a talk about a few things. Him included.
Ok as long as you promise?
I promise. Now do as he said and close those eyes so that you can get some sleep.
Ok.
* She closes her eyes but just before she drops back off to sleep she does say one more thing that leaves some in the room shocked and others smiling. *
Oh and for anyone in this room that wants to tell me that Taker is still married. I already know that and it's my choice who the hell I want to kiss. Or for that fact even who I want to fuck because I am over twenty-one.
* Lita covers her mouth so that she doesn't laugh. Taker looks over at Rob who is now openly glaring at him. He can't help but smile which only causes Rob to glare even harder. Kane smiles while Edge goes into a coughing spell. The rest all try to look in different directions. Except for Bradshaw who looks at Heaven who is now almost to sleep. *
Hey Rob quit glaring at Taker and Taker try not to smile that much ok?
* They both turn their attention to watching Heaven who is now totally asleep. Everyone settles down for a long night because no one is planning on leaving this room. Rob stretches out on the other side of the bed still holding her hand. Taker puts his feet up on the edge of the bed and leans back in his chair. He too is still holding Heavens hands, which he holds all night. *
