The Agreement

Chapter 29

"Are you ready to eat now Beautiful?" Marc asks smiling as he walked into the room.

"Minute," She murmured as she shifted from resting on Luke over to Kota.

Kota chuckled, "She hasn't got to cuddle with me yet," he explained.

"Here you go when you are ready," Marc smiled, "We love that you want to have equal time with all of us. Eat when you want." He kissed the top of her head and chuckled when she sighed in happiness.

After a few minutes her stomach growled and she huffed in annoyance making all three of them chuckle. "Come on Ten, you need to feed that tummy of yours," he said as he ran his fingers through her hair. "You can stay in my lap and eat so we can still cuddle."

"Okay," she smiled and slowly sat up. She turned around and laid back with her back against his chest after he sat up.

"Here, so you don't get cold," Axel said as he slid his shirt over her. She beamed and he kissed her softly then put some shorts on so he could go take of the plates from the rest of the team that was coming in to join them.

Kota put the plate in her lap and kissed the back of her head. She hummed in appreciation and went to pick up one of the tacos on her plate. She tilted her neck to take a bite then hissed in pain and dropped the taco. "What's wrong, Ten?" Kota asked concerned as all the men looked at them with worry.

"Just pain," she murmured as she tried to rub her neck but couldn't bend her fingers. "Shit," She sighed in annoyance and pain. "Sorry." She tried to pick up the taco again but couldn't grasp it. Frustration filled her and tears slid down her face. She weakly pushed the plate away and groaned both in pain and anger that she couldn't push it off her lap like she wanted. She hated being this way. She was doing so good and now this was happening, she hated this.

"Hey now, it's okay," Sean said as Luke moved off the bed and Sean sat across from her. "Are you having a flare up now?"

"No, I just am no longer want to eat or pick up the food on my own. I just decided that my neck and spine was going to start hurting," She growled at him, "What does it look it?" She sighed, "Sorry, I didn't mean that. I know you're just trying to help me. I'm sorry."

"I know," He nodded, "It's just you letting your frustration out. I was just trying to find out if it's a fibromyalgia flare up or if you accidentally hurt yourself during our play somehow."

"Flare up," She whispered, "I'm sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry for, Pookie," He said as he tried to help her bend her fingers then gently felt along her neck gauging how she flinched and winced in pain. "I'm sorry, I'm trying to hurt you."

"I know," She whispered, "I hate this. I hate being this way."

"We know," Kota said softly. "But it doesn't change anything, we still love you and care about you."

"I'm going to get you some pain pills," Sean said getting off the bed. "You need to eat because they are strong and will make you queasy if you have an empty stomach. They will also make you sleepy but that shouldn't be a problem since we have already worn you out."

"Yep," She weakly smiled, "I'm already tired." She frowned, "how am I supposed to eat?"

"I'm done," North said handing Marc his empty plate, "I can help you."

"You shouldn't have to," She sighed. "You shouldn't have to do this. It's ridiculous."

"In sickness and in health," North recited from memory. "This is just one of those sickness times, that's all, Baby." He picked up the taco and held it up, "now be a good girl and open up."

She smiled gratefully and opened her mouth then took a bite. He smiled and Kota kissed the back of her head. She managed to eat three tacos and finished her Gatorade then took the pain pills from Sean.

"Now sleep Angelos Mou," Silas said as he held her and rocked in the rocking chair after they moved to the living room so they could watch some TV for a bit. Gabe covered her up with a super soft blanket as she held Silas' arm around her. "Sleep Angelos Mou, we have you."
