* Joe's P . O . V *
I woke up to a muffled sound, I struggled to open my eyes. As I did I was greeted by the adorable face of my baby girl, Kailaieah. I heard a light giggle and look to my right to see my beautiful wife with a gorgeous smile planted across her face. I brought my hands to the sides of Kailaieahs small body, Supporting her as she now tried to crawl up my chest toward my face. I laughed lightly as her small hands brushed across my lips.
"C'mon, you and Derrick have a long day today" Nicole said, Her smile looking as if it hadn't changed. I cradled Kailaieah in my arms as I sat up sleepily. "Why"? I questioned curiously. Nicole motioned for Kailaieah and I handed her to her carefully. I stood up and streched. "I washed and folded your clothes. . . they're in that basket" Nicole said, Pointing with her free hand to the basket in the corner of the room which held my folded clean clothes. "Why are you so good to me"? I questioned, leaning in and kissing her lips. "Because. . ." She trailed off, patting my chest with her free hand.
"For real though, You and Derrick have to go help with errands. . . I don't know what they are, It's for Shauna's mother, so be good and be nice" She instructed. She pecked my lips before she and Kailaieah parted out into the hallway. I quickly got some clothes from the basket and went to shower.
* Nicole's P . O . V *
As I got downstairs, I laid Kailaieah down on the couch and began to dress her in the outfit i'd picked out the night before. Just as I finished dressing her, I could see Joe coming down the stairs. Kailaieah began to exitedly thrash around as she seen him, which was too cute. A smile sprang across his face as he reached us his hands extended toward her. I handed her to him and stood up, holding the onsie pajamas she'd just had on.
"Shauna's In the kitchen" I said, pointing toward the kitchen. I walked past him and made my way upstairs into the (guest) bedroom. I put Kailaieah's onsie in the hamper. As I did, I heard a strange sound coming from the bathroom area. I went into the bathroom and glanced out the window, I looked again when I seen a slight movement. As I did, a man in a navy blue uniform looked nervously around the back yard before stooping down to do something; I didn't know what is was but that triggered my dream from last night, Like i thought he was the one who poisened Bruno.
I darted through the bedroom and zoomed down the stairs and through the house out the back door. "Hey"! I called as I went toward him. The guy stood up and looked at me like he was confused. The guy was obviously not american, I wasn't sure if he understood what I was saying, But I didn't care, I was on a role. "What are you doing"? I questioned. He stood there looking almost sheepish. "Hello? What were you doing just now"? I demanded angrily. "Nicole? What's going on"? Derrick questioned coming toward us.
Suddenly, I felt sick to my stomach and dizzy. I laid my hand on Derrick's shoulder as I leaned over and vomitted. The guy exclaimed something in spanish. "Nicole, Are you okay"? Derrick questioned concernedly. I nodded yes as I finally stood up straight. He led me toward the deck where Joe (holding Kailaieah) and Shauna stood. Shauna looked at me concerned. Derrick led me through the house to the living room and sat me on the couch.
"It was probably just something I ate" I sighed. "Nicole" Joe said, laying his hand on my shoulder. "You can't just do that" he scolded
"I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me" I said honestly. Joe helped me stand up and helped me to the bedroom. I went straight to the bed and laid down. "Nicole, Baby, are you okay"? Joe asked concernedly rubbing my back soothingly.
"Yea" I muffled into my pillow, after that I guess I fell asleep.
