Friday morning, Lisa woke up to a very upset stomach. She threw up before, during, and after her shower. She couldn't figure out if it was due to nervousness about meeting the rest of Sheamus' co-workers, or morning sickness. 'Probably both,' she thought to herself. She was up long before Sheamus, and she puttered around the house, finishing up yesterday's laundry and gathering the ingredients to make a big-ass breakfast.
She began cooking bacon, and made a batter for crepes. She shredded up a couple of russet potatoes to make hash browns, and got the eggs out of the fridge to come to room temperature. She started pouring crepes after putting on a pot of coffee. She made a stack of crepes about six inches high, and then cooked up the hash browns. She heard the shower running and started to fry up the eggs and toast the bread. Just as she was finishing up putting together a regular-sized plate and an enormous breakfast platter, Sheamus wandered into the kitchen, still sleepy and all damp from the shower. "Mmmmmm, beb, yeh are spoilin' me somethin' fierce! What am I gonna do when yer gone?" Lisa grinned and sat down at the table with both plates. They ate quietly, listening to the birds singing outside. He polished off an entire stack of crepes with butter and maple syrup, in addition to the rest of the plate. "Mmmff," he said with his mouth full, and then swallowed his food, "What're these magical things?!"
"What? Sheamus, don't tell me you've never had crepes before. They're little French-style pancakes!" He shook his head and ate the rest.
"Never! And this maple syrup business is somethin' special too!"
She smiled and finished eating the food from her plate. Sheamus stood up, gathered the plates, and ran some hot water and soap in the sink to do up the dishes. She came up behind him and gave him a big hug, leaning her head against his broad back and listening to his heart beating strong and steady.
They spent the next couple of hours discussing plans for Lisa's move down. She wanted to spend at least another couple of months at work, to finish up some qualifications and testing she'd been working on. It would also take her that long to get a visa organized and get her medical records transferred to an American doctor's office. They had a pretty solid outline figured out, and then it was time to get ready to go to the show. It was a RAW filming, so Sheamus had to be there a few hours early to prepare. He also wanted time to show Lisa around the arena and meet the guys. Lisa hopped in the shower again – Florida was so sweaty, and by default, so was she. She hopped out of the shower, towelling her hair dry, and grabbed a pair of fresh jeans from her bag. Laid out on the bed was a brand-new t-shirt, black, with some Celtic designs and 'FELLA' written in block letters across the front. It was a women's cut shirt, and brought an instant smile to Lisa's face. So much so, in fact, that she started crying out of happiness. Sheamus came running into the room, "Lass! What's the matter? Are yeh ok? Did I do somethin' wrong?"
"No! This is just so sweet," she got out between sobs. The crying jag didn't last long, and she gave him and big hug and thanked him. She put on the shirt, and it fit perfectly. "Am I going to need a ticket for tonight?"
"Nah, love, I've got yeh all set up with a VIP pass. Yeh'll sit in the front with a couple other ladies, if that's ok with yeh?"
"Of course! I'm very excited. And nervous!"
"No worries, lass, they'll love yeh!" He put his arm around her and gave her a squeeze of reassurance.
A short time later, the doorbell rang. It was the new Pathfinder being delivered. Sheamus went out to do a quick look-over before he signed the paperwork, and all looked well. He came back inside like a little boy, so excited about his big new toy. "We can drive it to the arena, I can't wait!" Lisa smiled, it was so great to see him so happy. His whole face lit up, and his eyes got all sparkly.
Just before dinner, they got ready to go. Sheamus packed up his wrestling gear bag, and Lisa just gathered a few things together. They jumped into the new SUV and took off. It wasn't a long drive, maybe half an hour, to get there. He pulled around the back parking lot and parked beside a couple of other vehicles. He opened Lisa's door for her, and took her by the hand. He led her up to the doors and she pulled him back. "Just a sec. I need a minute here." She ducked her head and was breathing hard. "I can't tell if it's morning sickness or I'm just nervous as all fuck here, but I just need a sec." He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and rubbed her back.
"It's all good, love, I'll be right here for yeh."
"Okay. Okay. I'm good. Whew. Sorry about that." He smiled and took her hand again, leading her into the door.
