Your anxiety was taking it's hold as you sat and waited for annual blood work to check on a few things which always made you nervous since you didn't like needles always feeling your stomach churn. Bret came with you since he wasn't on the road knowing of your fear of needles and how bad your anxiety acted up over it holding you as you waited seeing the fear written on your face "It's okay shh you're alright" you take small deep breaths before the nurse walks in feeling your heart stop closing your eyes to not see the needle but you knew that it wasn't a little tiny needle like an IV grabbing onto bret's hand as you lay your arm out wincing when you feel the sting after opening your eyes to see bret and the nurse with the needle closing your eyes again opening them to see that your halfway on the floor leaned over with bret being the only one in the room throwing up in a trash can remembering that you were so nervous that you had forgotten to eat before leaving the house leading to the two of you going to the ER to get your blood drawn after eating lunch which helped your upset stomach and lightheaded state laying on the table with bret running his hand through your hair as the needle goes in wincing before the first vial begins the faint feeling from earlier coming back when you look to see how much blood was in the vial not only was it small but it was only the first of three vials that needed to be taken for testing. Finally after thirty more minutes the two of you leave drinking orange juice once you get home to help with the dizziness you still had from before laying on the couch with your head in bret's lap with a washcloth on your forehead after changing into his hitman shirt and a pair of shorts taking it easy for awhile before getting up and grabbing chicken from the freezer to put in the air fryer eating some as bret and Owen walk in joking with owen and sharing chocolate with his little girl before they left spending the rest of the night snuggled up to bret on the couch watching random movies in a comfortable silence barely any words being said just soft kisses and gentle touches in a simple domestic moment after a rough day.
