"Hey Luv," Jason said as he came into her room, "I heard you weren't feeling well."
"No Shit Sherlock," She groaned as she tried to snuggle under the covers even more. "Why else would I leave work early? You already killed my ex so that's been taken care of."
"Someone sure has a mouth today," John chuckled as he and Gabriel came into her room.
"Sorry," She mumbled from under the covers.
"Don't be, Mi Amor," Gabriel smiled softly. "We've missed that mouth of yours."
"Go away," She moaned, "don't want you getting sick too."
"We will be fine, but if you insist, Sweetheart," John smiled softly. "Did Doc give you medicine?"
"Yes, now go away," She mumbled and they chuckled.
"Okay, we will be in the living room if you need anything just text," Jason said as they got off the edge of her bed. "Try and get some more sleep, Luv." Soft snores answered back so they left the room and headed down to the living room.
"Let's start house searching," Gabriel said as they got out their individual laptops.
"What about this one?" Jason asked a couple of hours later, "It's ten bedroom and it's out in the country with 20 acres. It even has a bay window and a wrap around porch, you know how much she likes that stuff. We can use the other rooms for offices and still have a few for if she decides to have children in the future." He turned the laptop around so they could see the house he was looking at.
"That looks nice," Gabriel nodded, "We will have to put fences up and increase security with the extra land. What are we going to do with all that land anyway?"
"She could rescue animals like she always wanted," John shrugged. "She talked about it once, remember when we asked what her dream job would be?"
"Oh yeah," Jason nodded. "She said she wanted to start a no kill rescue, would 20 acres be enough?"
"Depends on the kind of animals she wants to rescue," John shrugged.
"Better make it 100," Gabriel muttered, "Knowing her, she will want horses, and large fucking cats, and numerous dogs and cats, and who knows what else when it comes to her."
"That is true," Jason chuckled, "She would have a fucking zoo if she could."
"We aren't having a zoo," John shook his head, "A rescue is fine, but there is no way in hell we will have a fucking zoo at our place."
"Not ours," Jason corrected, "hers."
"God we are already whipped," Gabriel muttered.
"Yeah but it's worth it," John shook his head. "Make the call."
"Got it," Jason nodded picking up his phone.
The next week was a blur for Diana, she knew the guys were up to something but one, she didn't really care, and two, she was too exhausted to try and figure it out. She really just wanted to sleep.
She heard them talking but just pulled the blanket back over her head, she needed more sleep. "Morning Sleeping Beauty," John said softly as he pulled the blanket back.
"No, more sleep," She groaned as she rolled from her side to her stomach.
"You want more sleep?" John asked and she nodded. "Okay, how about a compromise?"
"What?" She pouted, "Want more sleep."
"You go take a shower so I can strip the bed and put clean sheets and blankets on and then you can go back to sleep, Sweetheart," he said as he rubbed her back.
"So mean," She pouted as a moan escaped as he continued to rub her back. He stopped causing her to whimper and pout. He had to force back a groan.
"I'll give you more back rubs after you take a shower," He teased and she sighed in frustration.
"Fine but just know you are a mean asshole for that," she glared and he smirked.
"Duly noted," he nodded. "I'll go start you that shower while you muster up the energy to get out of bed. "Would a bath be better?"
"No," She shook her head. "I need to shower."
"Okay Sweetheart," He smiled softly as he stood and headed to the bathroom.
She sighed and sat up. She was feeling better but still felt weak. Hopefully she could get just a little more sleep after her shower. Once she got out of the shower she felt so much better. She forgot how refreshing a shower made her feel after being sick. She smiled and got dressed in the clothes one of the guys set out for her on the counter. She entered the bedroom and shook her head seeing all three of them sitting on her bed.
"Sit so I can brush your hair," Gabriel instructed.
"Yes Sir," She huffed and sat down in front of him.
"Don't start Mi Amor," He groaned as he worked on her hair.
"I haven't done anything," She protested.
"It's good to have your sass back," Jason smirked causing her to roll her eyes.
Once her hair was brushed and braided John pulled the covers back, "Lay down Sweetheart," she got into bed and they sat around her taking turns rubbing and patting her back. "Go to sleep Sweetheart," John instructed. "Once you feel well enough, we have a surprise for you."
"Yes Sirs," She whispered as she grabbed the three teddy bears the guys had left on her bed before spraying them with their colognes. They had figured out while she was sick that she started having nightmares again but she refused to let them stay with her so they didn't get sick. They got the teddy bears and sprayed them with their cologne and she slept better holding them. They smiled watching her clutch her teddy bears as she slept.
