Early the next morning Heath stirred slowly and opened his eyes and looked around. He sighed as soon as his vision came to focus and he realized he was in Justin and Lacey's guest room. He slowly raised up and realized his entire body ached really badly and he sat at the edge of the bed and looked at his arm and shook his head then looked at the table and Justin had left him a bottle of Aspirins and a water bottle by the bed. Heath smiled lightly and opened the bottle and took out a couple pills and swallowed them down and slowly stood up and walked out of the room and looked around in the hallway and walked into the living room and sat down waiting for Justin or Lacey to wake up. He sat there for nearly 20 minutes till he heard Lilly crying and he stood up and walked through the hallway and saw Justin walk out of the room.
"Let me..you both need your rest. Let me take care of her while you both rest a little" said Heath
"Its okay I can get her" said Justin
"No really. Please let me. I want to do this for you guys" said Heath
Justin could tell he really wanted to see the baby and the more he thought, he thought it might be good for Heath to see her maybe help cheer him up a little and he nodded his head
"Okay..if you need us we're in here" said Justin
"okay" said Heath
Justin slowly walked back into the room and laid down on the bed. Heath walked into Lilly's room and looked at her in her crib.
"Hey Lilly Bug!" Heath said smiling as he reached in and slowly lifted her out
"How you doin this mornin?" he asked as he carried her to the changing table
"I hope you dont mind me changing and feeding you this morning. I decided to let your mommy and daddy get some sleep, I kind of kept them up last night" he said as he began changing her diaper
"You hungry little one?" he asked as he cleaned her up and placed a new diaper on her and changed her clothes into something clean
Lilly moved her arms and legs and looked at Heath
"Yeah? I take that as a yes that you are hungry" he said picking her up and placed a kiss on her head
"Lets go get you some breakfast hmm?" he said leaving the room with her and going through the hall into the kitchen
Justin and Lacey were listening in on Heath the entire time through the monitor and she slowly turned around to Justin who was smiling and he shook his head.
"Heath and little kids, I swear" Justin laughed lightly
"I know. Its because he's like a big kid" laughed Lacey
"That could be it!" Justin laughed as well and wrapped his arms around her and held her close
Heath sat down after he had made the baby a bottle and checked it and hoped it wasn't too warm for her and put the bottle to her mouth and she took it and began drinking and wouldn't take her eyes off Heath at all and she even reached up to him. He smiled and leaned down and kissed her fingers and she laid them back down and he smiled at her while he watched her drink.
"I love you Lilly Bug" he whispered
Heath held her bottle till she finished the entire thing and he put the bottle aside
"Good job Lilly Bug!" Heath cheered then slowly moved her onto his shoulder and began patting her back gently
It took her some time and her stomach began to get really upset but after Heath stood up and began bouncing her as he pat her back it helped her to get a burp out easier and he rubbed her back as soon as she did.
"Aww is that better little one? I'm so sorry that was hurting you" he said as he rubbed her back and swayed with her slowly
She was no longer whining and crying but he knew she was probably still a little sore. He slowly moved her to lay in his arms and he looked down at her and smiled and looked around finding a pacifier and after he checked it and gave it to her and she closed her eyes. He watched her then heard a knock at the door and Lilly slowly opened her eyes up again. Heath gasped lightly making a cute face at her.
"Who's that? Lets go see who that is?" he said walking to the door
"Do you know who it is? Did you call someone?" he smiled then opened the door to find Eve on the other side
"Oh? Hi..didn't see your truck out here. I didn't know you were here" said Eve
"Yeah...Justin brought me here late last night" said Heath as he looked at Lilly and made a cute face at her and she began sucking her pacifier harder making a sucky sound
"She's excited" smiled Eve
"Yeah..she's a happy little girl" smiled Heath
"Is Lacey here? I kind of...wanted to talk to her" said Eve
"Yeah I'll go get her. Come in...do you mind holding her?" asked Heath
"Of course not" said Eve
"okay" he said then looked at Lilly
"You remember Eve dont you? She's a really nice lady and wont hurt you at all. She's mommy's friend and is very excited to see you again" said Heath as he slowly handed her to Eve
"Hi Lilly" smiled Eve
"I'll be back" said Heath as he walked away
Eve watched him leave and smiled at how sweet he was with the baby and looked back at Lilly and smiled and made faces to her. Heath walked to Justin and Lacey's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in" Justin said
Heath slowly opened the door and looked at them
"Lacey, Eve is here and wants to talk to you" Heath said
"oh okay" said Lacey as she got up from bed and wrapped a robe around her even though she was wearing PJ's she still wanted a robe
Justin got up from the bed as well and all three walked through the hallway and into the living room.
"Hey Eve" said Justin
"Hey guys. Can we talk...for a minute?" asked Eve
"Yeah" said Lacey
"I'll take her" said Justin as he took Lilly
"Hey babygirl!" greeted Justin as he planted tons of kisses on her cheek
Lacey smiled and followed Eve outside where they both sat down on the chairs outside the front door.
"Heath is real sweet to Lilly" said Eve
"He is..he loves her alot" said Lacey
"I saw Heaths arm was all bandaged up. He okay?" she asked
"I dont know. Well he seems to be now but last night he wasn't. He lost it and tried hurting himself again" said Lacey
Eve sighed and shook her head
"I came here...because I wanted to say I'm sorry. I want to talk to Heath too and since he is here I can, but I am sorry for the way I reacted about the situation. The more I thought about it last night the more I realized that if you can forgive him and continue to be friends with him then there is no reason why I cant look past it and be friends with him as well" she said
"I dont forgive him. Its just...he's been like my brother for like...ever..and I just couldn't bring myself to turn my back on him. Not when he voluntarily got himself help and was so remorseful about what he had done. I mean I heard most rapists just...they dont care...they dont care who they hurt and could care less it messed their life up. Heath did. He was so upset that he went and started seeing a psychiatrist because he didn't know what was wrong with him and he wanted help, who else does that?" she asked
"No one I've ever heard of" said Eve
"Exactly. Heath...he's never tried anything since. In fact he's been so good to me, so helpful and he's even saved mine and Lilly's life. Honestly if not for him I dont think Lilly would be here right now because the first time I suffered the placental abruption, I was alone in the hotel room. It just so happened that Heath forgot something and came back and he found me there and he took me to the hospital" she said
Eve put her head down and frowned. They both spoke for a few more minutes before going back inside.
"Heath..can I talk to you for a second?" Eve asked
"Sure" said Heath as he stood up and followed her out
Lacey walked to Justin and looked at Lilly smiling
"Everything okay?" asked Justin
"Yep. I think so" she smiled looking out the window
"I'm sorry I treated you so badly. I just...I kind of freaked that you...did...that...to my best friend. I got..angry that she didn't tell me but I was angry that you did that. But I'm sorry. I thought about it and realized I was wrong to react the way I did. Lacey obviously really cares about you or she wouldn't still be friends with you and neither would Justin so if they can still be your friend then I can too. That is if you still want to be my friend. I totally understand if you dont" said Eve
"I want to still be your friend" said Heath as he smiled
Eve smiled and gave him a hug and he hugged her back. The two spent some time talking then Eve left and Heath returned inside the house and sat down with Justin and Lacey and the baby and they spent the entire morning talking about everything that happened last night with him and just hung out together like old times. Heath stared at Lilly for a while and kept seeing himself in her and that was really starting to bother him however he didn't say anything about it nor did he let it changed the mood.
