It's a couple days later and it kind of turned into a rough week with hearing that Matt crashed his car into a tree and got arrested for DWI suspicion. But we kind of put that in the back of our minds as we continued on with our week. Now we're all awake and just hanging out in our rooms, since the weather isn't looking too happy today. It's cloudly and gloomy out..yuck.
"Stupid weather." Aly mumbles.
"I know, but that's Canada for you." Mike remarks.
"Stupid Canada."
"I don't like it all that much myself."
"Bleh." Aly sighs.
"But hey, just because it's cloudy and gloomy out, doesn't mean we can't go out and do something."
"I guess."
"But of course that's totally up to you. You don't have to if you don't want to."
"Hmm...I dunno."
"You can think about it, no rush or anything."
"...'kay."
"...love you." He says, kissing her head.
"Love you too."
"And I love you." He says, leaning down to her stomach.
"She loves you too daddy."
"I know she does." He smiles.
"Right." She smiles back.
Then he lifts up her shirt enough so that he can kiss her stomach. He does so, before putting her shirt back down.
"So cute." She smiles softly.
He smiles and kisses her briefly, and then puts an arm around her. She snuggles into him.
"So is there anything worth doing around here?"
"Hmmm, not really sure."
"Well that doesn't help me." She laughs.
"We could go see a movie later if you want."
"Is there anything even worth going to see?"
"Let me think..." He trails off.
"...not that I know of. Well then scratch that idea."
"I didn't think there was." She giggles.
"There has to be something to do, I mean I know you probably don't want to sit in the room all day."
"Not really."
"How about we just go get some breakfast first?"
"That sounds good at least."
"Then let's go there."
"But that means I gotta moveeee...awwwww..."
"When we come back you can snuggle all you want."
"...okay." She sighs, getting up.
She slips on her shes and grabs whatever she may need and puts it in her purse. Mike gets up and puts his own shoes on after getting his wallet and everything. They leave the room hand in hand, fingers laced together. They head out to the car and get in, finding a place to eat at. they order and wait for their food. She leans into Mike's side.
"Ugh. I hate when its gloomy like this, it makes me feel gloomy and blah too."
"It can't always be sunny and bright outside, but I know."
"This sucks." She mumbles.
"It's just the morning, maybe the afternoon will clear up."
"Hopefully."
Then the food arrives, and she moves from leaning into Mike's side, and they both start to eat. As usual nowadays, she finishes first and sits back, rubbing her stomach. He finishes a few minutes after, and they wait for the bill. They pay and then head back to the hotel.
"Yayy snuggling." She says excitedly.
Mike chuckles and she climbs on the bed, looking at him expectantly.
"I need my pillow." She says, holding her arms out.
"I'm coming." He laughs, getting on the bed.
He lays down next to her, and she immediately snuggles into him.
"In a snuggly mood today?" He aks amusedly.
"Yes I am."
Since his arm was around her, he uses his free hand to rub her stomach.
"She might move for you daddy. You never know."
"Me and the magic hands." He chuckles.
"Yes you do. But she might move since I just ate."
"True."
She relaxes against him.
Just think, in a week we'll be halfway."
"I know." He smiles.
"Time flies."
"Uh huh." He nods.
"And its been almost a year since we met."
"And I couldn't be any happier."
"Me either." She smiles and kisses him.
"You're amazing." He grins.
She blushes.
"Well you're pretty amazing yourself." She adds.
"Thank you but I think you're amazing and I'm awesome. You're amazing and beautiful." He says, brushing some of her hair out of her face.
She ends up blushing more and tries to hide.
"And like I always say, it's cute when you blush."
She keeps blushing, managing to hide her face in his neck.
"Casanova." She mumbles.
"You love me." Mike chuckles.
"I do." She sighs, still hiding.
"Savvy's proof." She adds.
"Yes she is." He agrees.
"Now I have two times the love." He adds.
He feels her smile against his neck.
"Me too."
She continues to snuggle with him, keeping her face hidden in his neck. Next door in the room with me and Alex, I'm just sitting at the table checking my emails and whatnot. I keep moving around in the chair occasionally, not being able to get comfortable.
"Having problems?" Alex asks.
"I'm trying to get comfortable because my back is starting to hurt...nothing's working over here."
"Then come over here." He says, patting the spot between his legs as he's seated on the bed.
I decide that's the better idea, so I close my computer and I get up from the chair and walk over to the bed, sitting in the spot. He starts to rub on my back gently.
"Better?" He asks.
"A little."
"Anything else I can do to help?"
"I think what you're doing is fine for now. This is something to get used to happening." I sigh.
"True..." Alex sighs too.
"I'm gonna have so many problems. Moodswings, back pain and I read somewhere that I'll have headaches too."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I got you so I can deal with those things."
Alex murmurs in agreement and kisses the back of my neck. At the same time, he had inhaled the scent that was in my hair from the shampoo I used earlier this morning when I took a shower.
"Is that cake I smell?" He asks curiously.
"It's my shampoo I used this morning. Pink frosted layer cake." I giggle.
"It smells good."
"I know, which is why I used it."
"Gotcha."
"And of course I knew that you would like it too."
"I do."
"Control yourself." I snicker as he inhales the scent even more.
"Your fault for using this."
"Uh huh."
Alex keeps breathing in the smell while still rubbing my back. Then my phone starts going off, so I reach down in front of me and answer it.
"Hello?"
"Carly!"
"Jeff? What's wrong, you sound worried. What happened?"
"We had to take Matt to the hospital, he fell."
"What? Is he okay?"
"We don't know."
"Let me get Aly."
I make Alex stop rubbing my back and scramble off the bed and over to the connecting door and open it.
"Aly, Matt's in the hospital! He fell."
She shoots up into a sitting position and then drops back, pain written on her face while her hand's on her lower belly.
"Owww. Remind me never to sit up that fast again. Pain and dizziness..." She groans.
"Jeff's on the phone. Wanna talk to him?"
"Give me a second." She grimaces.
I nod and go back to talking to Jeff until Aly was ready to. Mike is watching Aly in concern.
"I'll be alright. I just sat up too fast." She tells him as she waits for the room to stop spinning.
"You sure?"
"Yeah. My lower belly just hurt because the ligaments are being pulled as my stomach grows. It was already a bit achy so moving that fast didn't help matters any."
"Alright, just don't do that again."
"I'll try not to." She says, slowly sitting up this time.
I wait until she's feeling better, and she motions for me to give her the phone so she can talk to Jeff.
"Sorry about that. Got dizzy and had a sharp pain from sitting up too fast." She tells him.
"It's okay."
"So what's going on?"
"We don't know. All we know is that Matt fell in the house, since Reby told us, and now we're at the hospital. We don't know if he's injured or anything."
"I hope he's okay..." She frowns.
"We all hope so too. We were planning on coming up there to visit you guys today too, but now we can't."
"Maybe we should come to you."
"You really want to?"
"Well yeah!"
"Are you gonna be okay to fly down here?"
"Yeah, I'd be fine."
"Alright, well I'll tell everyone that you're coming then."
"Whoa whoa whoa." Mike interjects.
"What?" Aly asks him.
"Isn't there supposed to be a hurricane coming their way?" Mike asks.
"They're not directly on the coast."
"I still don't like it. I don't think its a good idea."
"We have to go Mike, Matt's a brother to us."
"I know he is, I get that. I just don't like the thought of you two going down there without Alex and I and having something happen."
"They can come too." Jeff says to her.
"Jeff says you and Alex can come too."
"That makes me feel better."
"Can we go then?" She asks Mike.
"Yeah you can go. I'll get our things packed up." He says, sliding off the bed.
"Okay Jeffro, I will text you with our flight details so that someone can come get us or something." She says to him.
"Alright, we'll see you in a few hours or so."
They say their goodbyes and hang up. She hans me my phone.
"I'll book the flights, you go pack your stuff up." She tells me.
I nod, and go back into me and Alex's room, going over to my things and starting to pack everything up. Alex starts to pack himself, having followed me into their room and heard the whole conversation.
"I just hope he's okay. First the accident and arrest and now he's in the hospital." I sigh.
"I know. Seems like he's hit a run of bad luck."
"Him and Jeff both."
"Yeah."
"But I did agree with Mike, I didn't really like the idea of you two going without us either."
"Well sorry but he's our brother and we weren't about to just sit here and wait around if it happens to be something serious."
"I know, I know."
I finish packing and sit on the bed with a sigh.
"Just the thought of him being in the hospital right now is just..."
"I know love." Alex sighs too, walking over to sit beside me after he finishes packing himself.
He pulls me onto his lap and hugs me to his chest comfortingly.
"Especially since no one knows what's happened."
"Yeah."
I snuggle into him, and lean my head against his shoulder as we wait. After a bit, Aly pokes her head in through the door.
"Time to go." She says quietly.
I nod and slide off Alex's lap, and we go over to our things and grab them. We meet you and Mike in the hall and we make our way down to the car, and head to the airport. Our flight is quiet and rather peaceful. Neither of us fall asleep, too worried about Matt to sleep. When we do land and get off the plane, we look around for either Jeff, Shannon or whoever. We find Shannon waiting for us.
"Hi Shan." We say, hugging him.
"Any updates on him?"
Shannon shakes his head.
"No not yet. Jeff might know something when we get there though."
"Well, let's get our things and get going then."
He agrees and we go get our things from baggage claim. After that we go out to the car and Shannon drives to the hospital. We all go inside and follow Shannon as we make our way to where Jeff and everyone is. Aly sees Jeff and immediately goes to hug him tightly.
"I'm so glad you're here." He mumbles, hugging back.
"We had to come. We couldn't just stay there, knowing something was wrong with Matt." She replies, her voice muffled against Jeff's shoulder.
"We got some good news though. He's going to be fine except for some bumps and bruises."
"Oh thank god." Aly sighs.
"They want to keep him overnight though."
"Well at least he's alright."
"Yeah, we're all relieved."
She nods and moves so that I can hug Jeff. She goes over to Mike and lets him wrap her in his arms.
"We'll be able to go in to see him soon. Right now Reby's in there with him."
"Oh okay."
"I got some other good news...I'm going back to TNA."
"That's great Jeffro." Aly smiles.
"Yup, I'm gonna be a face now."
"Good. I like you better as a face. You get to be more goofy." I laugh.
"Much more fun." Aly laugh too.
"Your anti-christ character before...kind of creepy, no offense."
"None taken." He chuckles.
Then I go back over to Alex, and we sit down in the chairs while we all wait to go in to see Matt. Aly stays standing with Mike, leaning into him while they sway gently. Soon the door opens and Reby walks out, and Jeff motions to Aly and I, telling us that we can go in. We nod and get up, slipping into the room after hugging Reby.
"Hi Matty." Aly greets him.
"Carly...Alyssa, what're you guys doing here? I thought you were up in Canada."
"We were but Jeff called us and said you were in here so we came down right away."
"You didn't have to do that, I know you're all busy and everything."
"It's fine, really. We wanted to." I say.
"You're our brother, we wanted to make sure you were okay." Aly adds.
"And plus, we need hang out time with you guys, since you couldn't make up to Canada today."
Aly nods in agreement.
"Yeah, definitely missed you guys." He nods.
"We missed you too." She smiles, moving to sit on the edge of his bed and hug him.
"Oh, I don't think we told you this but we have no more stalkers...for months now." I add.
"All of our stalkers apologized." Aly says after he looks at us curiously.
"Well that's good, you two don't need the added stress, especially now."
We both nod and she smiles when he puts a hand on her stomach.
"How's she doing?" He asks Aly.
"She's good."
"Maybe you'll get lucky and she'll start moving." She laughs.
"That would be great." Matt grins.
"How are you doing by the way?" He asks me as I'm standing next to the bed.
"I'm doing good, despite the moodswing I had Monday night, and the back pain this morning."
"Welcome to my world." Aly says, causing Matt to laugh.
"Yeah, now I get to go through what you're going through."
"Mmhmm. Oh...Matt, you're lucky. There she is." She remarks and mvoes his hand over to where she feels Savannah's movements.
"Awww." He grins.
"I know." She smiles.
"Of course her kicks and everything aren't as strong quite yet." She adds.
"Right, 'cause she's still little." Matt nods.
"Mmhmm." She agrees.
"She must know her uncle Matt is around." I giggle.
Matt grins.
"I guess so. She likes to move when her daddy is around too." Aly laughs.
"And he's not too far away either."
"Also true."
"Yeah Mike and Alex refused to let us come by ourselves, because of that hurricane coming up the coast, so they came with us."
"Ah. Well tell them I appreciate them coming." Matt says.
"We will."
"Alright I think we should let you get some rest." She says to him.
He nods.
"I appreciate you guys coming down."
"You're welcome. We'll see you later or tomorrow." She kisses his cheek and hugs him before she gets up.
Then I lean down and hug him, and we wave bye before leaving the room. We go into the hall and she goes over to Jeff and Shannon.
"Put your hands right here." She says, pointing to a spot on her belly.
They do as she says, and then smiles form on their faces.
"Awww she's moving." Jeff says.
"Yup, she started moving when we were in there with Matt."
"She knows who one of her uncles are."
"She does it for daddy too." She smiles over at Mike.
"Well of course she does."
She nods and leans slightly into Mike as he comes up behind her, putting his hands on her shoulders.
"Matt says he appreciates you and Alex coming with us." She says to him.
"Not a problem." Mike says while he rubs her shoulders.
"Oh and don't worry about having a place to stay, you can stay at the house with us." Jeff says.
"Thanks Jeffro." She smiles.
"It's no problem, you're always welcome to stay at the house whenever you visit."
"And the same goes for you guys if you're in the area by one of our houses when we are." Aly replies.
He nods.
"We'll head to the house once we're all set here."
"Alright. I think I'm going to go sit down now."
Jeff and Shannon nod, removing their hands from her stomach and she pulls from Mike and sits down. Mike sits beside her and puts an arm around her. She leans into him and closes her eyes. Alex and I also sit down, and I make sure that I'm as comfortable as I can be just in case the back pain of mine decides to come back. Alex's one hand reaches down to my back and starts to rub up and down it gently.
"I'm fine. I'm just making sure I'm comfortable in case the pain comes back."
"Okay."
"But you can keep that arm around me." I smile.
"Of course." He smiles back and kisses my head.
After a while, we all left the hospital and headed to the house. Mike and Alex grabbed their things from the trunk and then before we could even get to our things, Jeff and Shannon had grabbed them for us.
"Thanks guys."
"No problem."
We go inside, Jeff and Shannon showing us where the rooms are.
"Oh before I forget, I'm sure you wanna see these..." I say, digging through my bag that I'm holding, and then pulling out the ultrasound pictures.
"Yeah!" They say.
"I have mine too." Aly adds.
She digs through her purse and pulls out her ultrasound pictures and hands them to them. They look over each set, smiling.
"So cute."
"We know."
After looking at the pictures, they hand them back to us.
"Well we're sure that you're both tired, especially after the flight. We'll let you both get your rest and we'll see you later."
We nod and hug them before they wander off and we head into the rooms. Aly kicks off her sheos and climbs onto the bed, facing Mike and reaching for him.
"Pillow..."
He chuckles and lays down, letting her lay against him.
"My pillow."
"My comfy pillow." She adds, snuggling in.
"I know I am."
"I love you babe."
"I love you too."
She leans up and kisses his lips.
"Thank you for coming."
"You're welcome."
She kisses him again, longer this time. After she pulls away, she leans her forehead against his.
"You should get some rest, it's been a long day so far." He suggests.
"Alright but please wake me if something goes on okay?"
"Promise."
"Good." She pecks his lips before settling back down.
He rests a hand on her back and starts to rub it, helping her drfit off to sleep. His other hand lays on her stomach as she falls asleep. In the room with me and Alex, we bring our things in and just leave them off to the side before shutting the door.
"I hate being more tired than normal."
"I know you do. But its supposed to pass right?"
"I think so."
"So you at least have that to look forward to."
"Yeah..." I yawn, and lean against him.
"Into bed with you." He says, kissing my head.
I make a quiet noise of agreement, but I don't move. He walks me over to the bed, having me kick my shoes off before I climb onto the bed. He climbs onto the bed himself and I snuggle into him. He starts to rub my back soothingly. I sigh in content before drifting off to sleep fairly quickly. We get up after napping for a few hours and go into the kitchen to eat lunch. Of course in the living room we can hear the tv going and Jeff and Shannon are watching all the weather stuff on the hurricane that's coming up the coast.
"How crazy is that huh? I can only imagine how people are freaking out if they live in the area where that's going to hit."
"Oh yeah...evacuating and all that."
"Yeah. And can you imagine dealing with that while being pregnant?"
"Oooh yeah not a good thing."
"Nope."
"Thank god we're not close to the coast."
"Yeah."
"The most we'll get is probably just some rain." Jeff comments from the living room.
"Rain I can deal with."
"Yeah that's perfectly fine."
We finish eating lunch, though Aly and I are both now snacking on different things due to and Shannon have now gone outside, and we give each other amused looks because we know what they're up to with their antics and whatnot.
"I wanna see this." Aly laughs and goes outside.
"Wonder what antics they're up to today."
"I don't know but this should be good."
"Hmm from what I see, looks like they're gonna have an egg fight."
"Oh jeez, not this again."
"They must be really bored." I laugh.
"Apparently." Aly giggles.
"Haha they both missed."
"Nice aim!" Aly teases him.
"That was a practice shot!" Jeff calls back.
"Suuuuuure."
Then while Jeff was distracted with her, Shannon pelts him with an egg.
"Ahaha, nice Shan!"
"Oh it's on now!"
We snicker as they really start throwing them back and forth. Then once they were all out of eggs, it turned into a thing of wrestling each other.
"Oh boy." Aly laughs.
"Never a dull moment around here."
"Nope."
"I got an idea." I grin.
"Ooooh like what?"
I whisper the idea to her, and she agrees to it, smiling evilly. We head inside and grab two eggs from the fridge and step back outside. We sneak up to a good distance and aim carefully before whipping the eggs at Jeff and Shannon. We try to hide our laughter and eggs as they stop wrestling each other to figure out where the eggs are coming from. They shrug and go back to wrestling. That's when we throw the second eggs. Shannon looks up for a quick second, catching us throwing them.
"Aha! Caught you!"
We just laugh.
"We don't know what you're talking about."
"Yeah right!"
"Then why are you holding eggs hmm?"
"No reason..."
"No one just randomly holds eggs."
"Riiiiight."
"Believe what you want to believe." I add.
"Mmhmm." Aly nods.
"We're watching you two."
"You do that."
Then while they aren't paying attention we take the last egg that we each have and throw them at them, before dashing away back towards the house.
"Hey!"
"Oops!" We laugh.
We hide behind Mike and Alex.
"What did you two do now?"
"We may have thrown some eggs..."
"...and now we may be in trouble." I finish for her.
"Why does that not shock me." Mike snickers.
"So you have to hide us."
"Right..." Alex chuckles.
"And if we don't?"
"No kisses." We both say.
"Oh that's not fair."
"You better hide us then."
"...fine."
"Good. Thank you."
Then Jeff and Shannon come inside, clearly looking for us.
"Eep." We both squeak and hide behind Mike and Alex more.
"Okay, where'd they go?"
Mike and Alex exchange amused looks.
"We have no idea." Mike answers.
"Are you sure?" Shannon asks.
"Yes we're sure." Alex nods.
Jeff and Shannon go off searching. We come out from hiding for the time that they went searching.
"Thank you." We kiss our husbands on the cheeks.
"And what are you gonna do when they come back? You can't hide forever." Mike asks.
"Good question."
"Yeah...um...I don't know." I add.
"Well we could use the preggo excuse." Aly shrugs.
"True..."
"Or pretend to cry."
"That too."
"I think we're good." Aly laughs a bit.
"They better be quick though, I don't want that back pain to come back, already got rid of it once." I add.
"True."
"I'm just gonna go sit down and get comfortable just in case."
"I probably should too." Aly agrees.
"We're coming too." Mike nods.
We all go and sit down on the couches. Soon Jeff and Shannon come out and they see us in the living room.
"Heyyyy."
"Surprise?" We laugh.
"But you...where were you?"
"Nowhere..."
"That makes no sense."
"We hid, what else did you expect?"
"Should've known."
"Duhhhh."
"And no you cannot get us back for the eggs...we're excused from anything you were planning."
"No fair!"
"We're pregnant, too bad."
"We'll have our revenge somehow..."
"Uh huh, good luck with that."
They make faces at us and we laugh.
"You know what we should have tonight? A bonfire."
"Yeahhhh. We can play some guitar and do smore!" Aly says excitedly.
"Oooh smores." I grin.
"Yeahhhhhhhh." Aly grins too.
"Sounds like a great idea."
"We'll do that once it gets dark." Jeff agrees.
"Sounds good."
We all sit and relax, waiting for the sun to go down. As soon as the sun does go down, we grab what we need before heading outside and the fire gets started. Jeff hands Aly a second guitar and the two of them start to play. The rest of us sit there and listen while she and Jeff play. They sing a bit too and she smiles as she feels Mike's hand rubbing her back gently. There's a slight breeze in the air and I shiver a bit. That's when I pull on a jacket. Alex pulls me closer and wraps me in his arms since I'm sitting on his lap. I snuggle into him and lean my head on his shoulder as we watch the fire. Jeff and Aly decide to take a break for a bit and set the guitars aside. Then they get the smores stuff our and begin to make them.
"Mmmm. So good." Aly mumbles as she eats one.
"Yeah, I miss eating these." I add.
"Yeah I know. We need to do this more often."
"Definintely."
We all eat smores and talk, telling jokes and stories.
"Someone's getting sleepy." Aly snickers, watching me almost dozing off.
"I think it's bedtime for you." Alex kisses my head.
"Noooo, I'm fine."
"You're on the verge of falling asleep."
"No, I'm resting my eyes."
"No you aren't. Come on." Alex coaxes.
I mumble incoherently, but pull from his arms and get up anyway. Alex gets up too.
"Night guys."
"Night." They all say back, and then we head back towards the house and inside.
Alex and I change for bed and snuggles beneath the covers.
"Night love." Alex kisses my head.
Instead of saying 'night' back, I just make a quiet noise. I easily drift off, followed later by Alex. In the meantime it's only Aly, Mike, Jeff and Shannon left around the fire. She leans back against Mike, relaxing as she watches the flames. He has his hands resting on her stomach, and his head leaning against hers. Mike is talking with Jeff and Shannon while she just listens and before she knows it, she dozes off. Mike doesn't know that she's dozed off until Jeff pointed it out. He looks down and chuckles.
"Well I suppose I should bring her inside now."
"Yeah. We'll get the stuff and take care of the fire." Jeff says.
Mike nods and moves her carefully so that he can carry her inside. She instinctively snuggles into him when he picks her up. Then he heads towards the house and inside, heading to the bedroom. He gets to the bedroom and sets her on the bed. He grabs some pajamas for her and sets about changing her clothes, trying not to wake her. After she's dressed, he carefully moves her and pulls the blankets over her. Mike gets changed himself and then slides into bed. He pulls her into him and she cuddles up against his side. He kisses the top of her head and quietly says goodnight to her, before falling asleep himself.
