A month later..
It was a long night for Savannah. She was working the 3 to 11 shift and she was doing vitals for a resident who was under hospice care. Sitting in the room listening to the breathing machine going. She loved her little residents. Some of them were the sweetest people around. Some would give and raise hell all the time. But there was that select few that touched her heart. That made a impact on her life in some way. Mr. Luke was one of those who had his good days where he could carry a conversation for hours and give drawings to all the employees the other residents. He loved to draw, color pictures. That was his thing. Savannah had about 20 drawings he done for her. Hanging up at the nurses station or on her refrigator at her house. Luke was one of those type of people where you can laugh with, yet when he was angry you stayed out of the way. For the past month his health was deterating. He had pancreatic cancer and was in the final stages of it. Being in this line of work no matter if you was a nurse, a CNA, a housekeeper, a laundry worker whatever your job title was in any nursing home facility. The residents always had a effect on you. Good or bad. Tonight was one of those nights for Savannah. As she was sitting in Mr. Luke's room trying to make him as comfortable as he could be as two CNA's came in to do their rounds. As they looked as Savannah who was doing her report on him.
"Hey Savannah how's he doing?" The tall aid named Tonya asked her as she looked up at her.
"It's just a matter of time. Dr. Schultz said it could either be tonight or tomorrow." She said softly as she looked down at Luke as his breathing was getting slower with every breath.
"Damn." Was all Tonya said as she checked to see if he needed to be changed. As Savannah looked at the breathing machine as the water from it was dripping slowly. As the aids left the room and closed the door softly behind them when Savannah felt someone touch her hand as she looked to see Luke trying to speak to her.
"Miss Savannah."
"Yes Mr. Luke what do you need?" Savannah said as she came closer to him as he was barely whispering.
"Thank you for taking care of me. I want you to remember something ok." He said in between breaths. "It's no problem Mr. Luke it's my job and what's that?" She said as she could see the life in his eyes slowly slipping as he took another ragged breath.
"The little things in life, they're meant to happen. Never take anything for granted."
"Yes sir." She said trying to keep her composure as she watched him take another breath slowly.
"I'm ready to see my wife. I'm ready to see my Mary again."
"I know Mr. Luke and she's ready to see you again too." She said softly as she looked at the tv for a few minutes to see WWE Raw on. Seth was talking and she couldn't help but smile for a few minutes as she held on to Luke's hand. Getting lost for a minute as she wished she could hear what he was saying. As the words that Luke just told her were playing in her mind at that moment. Feeling the coldness on her hand as she looked to see Mr Luke passed away. She closed her eyes for a few seconds tears streaming down, as she gently placed his hand on top of his chest as she closed his eyes. He was gone. She slowly got up to turn off the machine. Writing everything down in the book with his name on it. She closed the book as she slowly got up and took one last look at Mr. Luke one last time. Before walking out of the room and closing the door. She went to the nurses station and took a deep breath as she started making calls to the Director of Nurses, the Adminstrator, and Hospice then the funeral home as she seen two aids passing by.
"Can you put a outfit on Mr. Luke for when Restland comes." She said as they went to his room. When she heard the laundry coming up with the basket putting the clothes up for the night. Life was going to go on. Even if a resident passes on. Life was going to go on regardless. As she was doing the final report of Luke, she heard the glass window being tapped. Looking up to see Lizzie the laundry worker tapping on the glass.
"Hey friend Mr. Luke passed away huh?" Lizzie said as Savannah shook her head yes slowly.
"I'm gonna miss him." She said as Savannah agreed with the younger girl. She was a sweet girl who always had a smile on her face and always made Savannah laugh everytime they would talk. Savannah seen Lizzie pull out her phone as she started talking again.
"So friend I'm so jealous of you right now." She said smiling and blushing a little.
"What do you mean Lizzie? Because I'm just doing my job." Savannah said a little confused.
"The fact that I'm friends with Seth Rollins's wife is totally awesome in my book!" She whispered as Savannah's eyes got really big.
"Where did you hear that from?"
"On Twitter! It's all over Twitter. One of my tweeties told me that Rollins was tweeting about how much he misses his wife and she said that his wife was named Savannah. That and there are pics of the two of you together from Vegas! Girlll you was having a good ass time!" Lizzie said as she showed her the comments and the pics on her phone.
"Oh my god! Savannah said as she placed her head down on the table as the other nurse who was working with her that night turned around to look to see what the hell they was talking about.
"Whoa whoa hold up you got married and you didn't tell me! Girl you be a sneaky ho!" The nurse named Trina said as Savannah blushed while Lizzie laughed.
"I'm telling you Trina she married a fine ass man! Take a look!" Lizzie said as she showed her a pic of them. As Trina looked at Savannah and whistled.
"Damnnn he is fine! You lucky bitch! He's a athlete or something?"
"A professional wrestler!" Lizzie said proudly as Savannah shook her head.
"Nicee! What the hell are you still doing this for if you're married to a professional athlete?!"
"Seriously I asked her the same thing earlier! Shoot if I was married to one of those fine ass men, my ass sure as hell wouldn't be doing laundry!" Lizzie said as she giggled.
"I know! I know! But I'm not like that. I like making my own money. I aint not gold digger!" Savannah said writing in the book again as the two girls looked at each other then back at her.
"No one said you was that. We was just saying what we would do that all." You gonna see him again soon? Rock the headboard?!" Trina asked as Lizzie busted out laughing.
"She should shit he's fine as hell!" Lizzie said as Savannah looked at the time.
"Don't ya think it's time for you to carry your ass home Lizzie?" And yes I'm gonna see him soon." Savannah said as she carried on doing her work as Lizzie waved by to them and walked back with the buggie to the back. As Trina started doing her paperwork again when she turned to Savannah.
"You know you don't have to do this forever. If he asks you to travel the world with him you would want to go. I can see it in your eyes that is what you really want to do. Live your life girl get out of here while you have the opportunity." She said as she went back to her work as Savannah couldn't help but wonder if she was right.. Time went by fast as she clocked out and went home. The whole drive home, she couldn't help but wonder what her life would be like if she did take a chance. When she finally turned down the street to her house, she seen a different car in the driveway. It wasn't Kenzie's because she was working late shift at the hospital tonight. Her heart beating fast as she pulls in slowly she reaches underneath the passenger seat as she grabs her bat, along with her purse as she slowly unlocks the door. Peaking her head in bat tightly as she steps in. Whoever the hell it is was gonna meet a bat across his head she thought to her self as she closed the door behind her putting her purse on the table beside it as a sweet smell was enticing her nose as she could see a light shining through the door. Slowly she walked towards the door. Placing her hand on it gently as she opened it slowly to see candles lit and beautiful red roses in a vase. She slowly walked into the kitchen to see something cooking on the stove as she looked around when she felt someone wrap their arms around her waist. As she raises the bat slowly. When she heard that sweet familiar voice that made her stop
"Surprise my beautiful wife." She heard Seth say as she turned around looking to see if she wasn't hearing things or losing her mind. As she seen him standing there in front of her. In the flesh.
"What the hell?! I just seen you on TV?! How did you know where I lived at? How did you get here?! I was about to knock your ass out!" Savannah said as she placed the bat down against the wall as she hugged Seth tight.
"I am just that good!" He said kissing her softly.
"Sure." She said still hugging him as if it was her last chance. As the tears fell freely.
"I missed you so much sweetheart. I tried calling you but I forgot you had to work tonight. What's wrong?" He asked as he wiped the tears away.
"One of my favorite residents passed away tonight." She said laying her head into his chest.
"Oh sweetheart I'm so sorry." Seth said as he rubbed her back slow and gentle.
"It's so hard. He told me before he passed away to never take life for granted to never take the little things for granted. I don't want to take anything for granted. I don't want to ever take you for granted." She said looking up at him looking into his brown eyes.
"You don't have to leave tonight do you?" She said softly, with vulnerablity in her eyes. As she was playing with his shirt a little.
"I'm off for the next three days! So I'm all yours we have the place to ourselves." He whispered in her ear as she shivered a little.
"Three days? Don't you have your school to do?" She said touching the bottom of his shirt.
"I got someone to cover for me and I kind of kicked your roomate out too! Just for the three days!" He said touching her face softly.
"You kicked Kenzie out?! Where is she gonna go?!" Savannah said panicking a little.
"Savannah don't panic she's fine in a hotel I promise!"
"You sure?"
"Yep Ambrose may or may not be with her! She's fine!" He laughed kissing her softly. As she shook her head tugging at his shirt.
"You two had this planned huh? Thinking that cooking me a late night dinner sneaking into my house when I'm not here and thinking that I'm just gonna strip down butt ass naked at let you have your way with me all because you did that for me!?"
"Yeah that was kind of the plan?" He said shyly. As she touched his face giving him sweet kisses on his cheek.
"I have a better plan. How about we go upstairs and I have my way with you!"
"Well that works too." He said smiling big.
If you dont want to I understand. I mean I was gonna tell you that I wanted to travel the world with you but if you don't want.. " She said backing away from him slowly.
"Stop that would be amazing! To have my wife with me traveling the world. I would like that I really would."
"Good because my feet hurt and Im gonna soak in the tub. A bubble bath in fact!" She said taking off her top and throwing it at him as she walked upstairs. As he smiled watching her go up the stairs.
"Are you just gonna stand there smiling like a horny teenage punk or are you going to come upstairs!?" Because I have toys that can satisify my needs if you don't come up here!" She yelled. As he laughed and went up the stairs to see little strands of her clothing on the floor leading to the bathroom as the water was running. "You have a husband now you know." He said as he opened the door to reveal a naked Savannah in a tub filled with bubbles.
"Yes I have been told I do. And you have a wife who is in a bubble bath all alone." She said looking up at him leaning against the tub.
"Yep I do!" He said taking off his clothes as her eyes were watching every move he was making.
"Clearly I am!" He said smiling as he got in the tub with her as she came closer towards him.
"Remember us against the world sweetheart." She said as she touched his hair with her fingers. He smiled as he kissed her.
"Us against the world." He said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist as they made love in the tub. They were newlyweds, two souls. Two souls that were joined together once again. As they were about to embark on the craziest journey of their lives that was waiting for them along the way..
