One too Many

Chapter 27

Ian

Right now, Oliver is getting his ass handed to him and we are sitting and watching. Afraid it will be our turn after.

Huffing, my Tiny Beauty turns her body to get out of the bed and we are all instantly on our feet rushing towards her.

"Why are you getting up?"

"What do you need?"

"You shouldn't be getting out of bed!"

"Let me help you!"

"Why are you moving!?"

We all shout at once as we crowd around her, trying to see what she needs.

"Calm down people, I'm fine. I was thinking we can go upstairs instead of sitting here. I need a shower and Ian needs a shower. There is also more seating area and it's more comfortable." She says as she proceeds to get out of bed.

I put a hand under her knees and hand behind her shoulders and swing her into my arms.

She let out a girly squeak before clutching my shirt tightly. "I can walk!" She pouts, her lips pulling downward.

"I know. But I would like to carry you." I tell her looking down at her with what I hope is a stern expression so she doesn't argue, but I'm not sure if I pulled it. She is turning me into a mush and I don't think I can fight it anymore.

She huffs before relaxing against me and try to nestle against my chest. Her sigh this time is content as she closes her eyes.

I turn to face Oliver with her in my hand to make sure we can leave the room. "Is she good to leave this room?"

He nods looking at his sister, love shining in his eyes. "Yup, she is good now and we can't really prevent her from doing what she wants. She is a tenacious spirit."

He heads to the elevator, opens the door and we pile in.

Seconds later a soft snore catches us by surprise and I look down to see my Tiny Beauty sleeping.

I smile at her as I lean down and kiss her forehead. Seconds later Dom is in my face checking her with his eyes frantically.

"Dom, what's wrong?" I ask in a hushed whisper so I don't wake up the sleeping beauty.

"Why is she sleeping a lot?" He turns towards Oliver, his tone not so very calm. "Since the day we met. She sleeps the second she is in position to do so. It's worrying me a bit. Is it normal? You should probably check her for that."

Hmm. I did notice that she seems to dose off the second she is comfortable enough. But I didn't worry about it at first, because she is sick and she needs her rest. But what if Dom actually has a point? Fuck!

We all wait in anticipation for Oliver to answer us.

He looks at us, a frown creasing his brows. "She has nightmares. She wakes up screaming the second she falls asleep if she is alone. Sometimes she is so deep in the nightmare that it takes all six of us a good 15 minutes to get a reaction from her or to wake her up. So she doesn't sleep as much if we are not with her. The second she feels safe enough with a person, she seems to sleep all over them. This is the ultimate sign that she trusts you incase you need further proof. This is just her needing the sleep she messed last night or the last couple of... days. So there is nothing to worry about. Technically. Health wise. Also, she will be sleeping a lot as a side effect of the medication I gave her."

Warmth erupt in my chest at her feeling save with us. And anger is close enough that I have to force it down. They will pay. Who ever they are. They are paying with their lives.
