My Poor Baby

It was after a taping of RAW that Brynn and Joe stumbled into the hotel room a little more than drunk. Joe was stumbling around and Brynn was slurring

Joe fell on the couch first and Brynn fell on his lap and somehow they ended up in a makeout session

Joe started feeling warm and Brynn pulled back

"You feel warm baby, or is it because you're so sexy," she slurred and he drunkenly laughed

"Got you on my lap, of course I'm gonna heat up, now take off this," he said, tugging at her top which she smirked and pulled over her head, and she reached down between them and started unbuckling his belt while he turned them over so he was on top

-The Next Morning-

When Brynn woke up, she was on the sofa while Joe was asleep on the tiled floor right next to it, they were both naked as the day they were born. She smiled when she remembered last night and quickly got up, throwing on some clothes and going with a big blanket to cover Joe

When she touched his skin, she furrowed her eyebrows, he was hot and not in the normal way.

His skin was burning up and he was cold sweating, which was confusing

"Baby, baby wake up," she called to him, lightly shaking him and he groaned before he got up, retched and ran to the bathroom

Brynn quickly got up and followed, holding his hair back as he threw up, she wrinkled her nose but kept her position. When he said he was finished, she helped him up and over to the sink to brush his teeth, she wrapped her arms around him, feeling his warm skin against hers made her feel like crying

After that, she helped him shower, willing herself to ONLY shower him and not, well you know. Then she helped him into a pair of grey boxers and an oversized t-shirt and because his hair was now being dried, his hair was fluffed and he looked so soft and she couldn't help but press her lips against his

"I'm sick." He grumped from where he was on the couch and she smiled, turning the chicken soup in the pot, adjusting the heat

"It's just a little stomach bug baby," she said with a gentle smile on her face

"I don't like it," he said, flopping down on the couch face first and grumbling about calling an exterminator. Brynn nearly cooed at him, god he was precious

"I've been really trying baby, trying to hold back this feeling for so long and if you feel like I feel, baby then, c'mon, oh, c'mon let's get it on," he sang, making his way over to where Brynn was at the stove and he spun her around into his arms

"Feel me baby, do the humpty hump," he sang and Brynn had to bite back a laugh as he flung himself around in a circle

The one thing everyone knew was when Joe was sick, he was anything but himself

"Sit down love," she beckoned, helping him back to the couch

"I would if the room wasn't spinning so much," he said and then squinted at something in the corner

"Brynn! It's the Easter Bunny!" He yelled and took off running but since he was a little disoriented, Brynn beat him to it and stopped him before he smacked face first in the wall and made him sit on the couch while she went to get a thermometer. She waited then took it out and read it

104.56

Damn his fever was high as hell, she pursed her lips and sighed

"Your fever is really high baby," she told him and he whined

She smoothed her hand over his hair and pressed a kiss to the top of his head

"I think the soup is done, will you eat some for me?" She asked him, giving him a gentle smile, he nodded and gave her a sleepy smile

She went and took out some, the stomach bug would affect him badly if the soup was 'too' solid so she made sure the chicken was cut up in miniscule pieces

She sat with him on the couch, his feet were pulled up and crossed under him and god he looked adorable with his messy bun on top his head and oversized jersey laying gently on his muscular thighs

She raised a spoon full of soup to her mouth and lightly blew on it before holding it out to him and this routine continued until he had finished the soup

"That was good soup," Joe said, patting his stomach, Brynn smiled at him and pressed a kiss to his cheek

"I love you," she said and got up taking up the empty bowl and spoon and went into the kitchen to get him a glass of gatorade

When she went back into the living room, he looked like he was about to fall face first into the floor, Brynn jetted forward and held him up before he fell

But that didn't help because her adorable boyfriend fell head first into her lap and put up his feet on the couch in a fetal position and cuddled his head into Brynn's bare legs since she was in a pair of shorts

She softly smiled as he loosed the bun so she could play with his hair, she traced her fingers through his black locks, loving the silky feeling, coconut smelling hair

The smell of coconuts was often one she associated with Joe, it was the smell of his hair, the smell of his skin, he was just every bit exotic. That was her Samoan Prince.

She looked away from the TV to where her bundle of love was laying on her lap and she smiled slowly at the way his eyelashes were gently resting on his cheeks and the way his lips were pressed together like if the inside of his mouth was dry and with that stomach bug, it most likely was.

She traced his pouty bottom lip, her own lip tugged between her teeth, even asleep, no one had the right to look that good. At the feel of her touch on his face, a slow smile made it's way across it and that was when Brynn knew

She knew that no matter what happened later on in life, there was no getting over the man that lay in her lap. She would forever be whipped for his love
