Chapter Six
I looked up at Jake as he walked back to me, "Thank you for that."
He shrugged his shoulders, "He is an asshole."
I chuckled, "Oh you don't know how much he is."
He smiled at me as the doctor walked over when he placed his arms around my shoulders.
Trevor and Tiffany came to our side as I asked, "How is he?"
The doctor sighed, "Stable. But not out of the woods. He has an infection that his immune system having a hard time fighting off."
He sighed, "He will be okay, but we are placing him on another round of antibiotics, and he needs to stay in the hospital for little longer."
I shook my head as Jake squeezed his fingers around my shoulders, "Was because we took him to the football game."
The doctor shook his head, "No, it is nothing that anyone did. It just happened. We though the first around of antibiotics was working that would allow him to go to the game. There was a second infection that broke out."
Jake relaxed his fingers as the doctor walked through what they were going to do to kill the infection and what our next steps was.
Jake pulled out his phone when he got a text when he looked up at the doctor, "When can we start scheduling people to get tested?"
The doctor smirked at him, "As soon as possible, As soon as we can get the infection under controlled then he can get him into surgery."
I looked up at Jake as he smiled as he showed me the text, "Over five hundred people signed up for the test and more are waiting to be counted."
I looked up at Jake, "Holy shit."
The doctor tilted his head, "Send me the list and we will start calling people to get them in."
Jake nodded his head as the doctor walked away when he said, "Tristian will be out for the night, take her home to get rest. I don't want see her until the morning."
I went to say something when he added, "I will call you as soon there is a change in his condition."
I smirked at her, "You heard the doctor."
She shook her head as Trevor and Tiffany laughed.
I placed my arm around her shoulder as I guided her out of the hospital, "So, who's home we are going to?"
She looked up at me as she tilted her head, "What?" I smiled at her as Trevor and Tiffany walked to their car, "Well, I am not leaving you alone. So choice, Mine or your house?"
She looked down as she shrugged her shoulders, "I can't go home not without Tristian."
I placed my fingers on her chin as I lifted her head up, "Then my place." I placed my arm around her while I walked her my car, "Come on. Let's get you feed and some rest."
I must of fell asleep in his car on the way to his place because when I opened my eyes, he was carrying me into an elevator, "Jake?"
He hummed at me when I asked him, "Where are we?" He smiled down to me, "We are at my place." I nodded as I yawn and he chuckled, "I didn't realize all these muscles will be that comfortable."
I chuckled at him as walked off the elevator then placed my feet down when we reached to the door, "I need to open the door."
I stood next to him as he opened the door to a massive penthouse. I stepped into it as I looked around, "Wow, they pay you well." He chuckled, "They do."
I walked into the living room as I plopped on the couch, "I am exhausted." He laughed as he sat next to me, "I have a room upstairs."
I waved my finger at him, "Oh, No, you don't."
He tilted his head at me as I finished my sentence, "You are not going to get in my pants."
He chuckled as he placed his hands on my knee, "That is not what I was thinking." I tilted his head, "Then what?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "You can sleep in my room and I can sleep on the couch." I tilted my head at him, "Are you sure? You just played a game."
He nodded at me as he patted my knee as he got up, "It is fine. You need a good night rest."
He walked down the hallway when he opened the door to a room as I looked around. It was huge with a massive bed in the middle of it. It was modern with a fireplace and a balcony.
I looked up at him, "This is nice room." He chuckled, "It does what it needs to do. Provide me a place to lay my head down."
I nodded as he went to his dresser and pulled out a pair of sweatpants and tee shirt when he threw it on the bed, "There is a bathroom right there. You can take a shower and get change. There are some clothes that you can change into."
I smiled at him as I took the clothes that he threw on the bed as I walked to the bathroom. I looked over to him,
"Hey Jake?"
He looked up at me as he grabbed clothes himself, "Yeah."
I shrugged my shoulders. "I feel guilty having you sleep on the couch when there is a massive bed up here that could easy fit three people and you have done so much for me."
He tilted his head, "You can fit five people if you they laid down a certain way."
I laughed as I said to him after breathing hard, "I guess what I am saying is that you can sleep in here with me on that bed."
He smirked up at me as he nodded, "If you don't want to be alone then I will stay." I nodded to him as I walked into the bathroom, "Thank you."
I walked out of the bathroom when I looked on the bed to see Jake spread out on his bed already asleep.
I chuckled as I got under the blankets. I turned my back to him as I felt him turned then felt his hand that went around my waist as I started to close my eyes.
I woke up in the middle of the night as my arm is wrapped around Sage.
I smiled as I can smell her when she shifted back into me as I realized that we fit perfectly together.
She turned towards me as her arm went around my waist.
Christ, I am getting a hard on by her touch and the smell of this woman.
I held her closer to me as I laid my lips on her forehead as I closed my eyes.
It was the crack of dawn when my phone started to ring. I jumped up and grabbed it before it woke up Sage, "Hello?"
A man's voice came over as I started chuckled when I realize who it was, "Hey there sleepy head."
I shook my head, "Justin." He was my annoying older brother.
He sighed, "Are you busy this afternoon?"
I sat up in the bed when Sage turned as her arms went around my stomach and her head on my chest as she moaned slightly when my brother chuckled, "Well, I guess I got my answer."
I shook my head as my hands ran throw my hair, "It is not what you think it is."
He chuckled, "Oh. Then what it is like?" I sighed as my hand went down her arm as she curled against me, "You know about the kid I called you about?"
He hummed, "It is the momma."
I sighed, "I didn't sleep with her. Well. You know what I mean." He laughed, "Not yet."
I shook my head, "What are calling me about?" He sighed, "I need advice. I was hoping that we can talk over lunch or something."
I looked up at the ceiling, "What is going on?" He usually wants to 'talk' when something is going on with him and his wife.
He sighed, "Amy and I have been fighting a lot lately." I shook my head, "I told you that she was going to be a handful when you married her."
He chuckled, "I need a place."
I tilted my head, "It is that bad?" He snorted as I can hear Amy yelling in the background, "It is that bad."
I sighed as I looked down, "You can stay at my place. I will be spending most my time with Tristian and Sage when I am not with the team."
He laughed, "You got it bad."
I snorted at him, "What you talking about?"
He sighed, "If she nothing like Amy then go for it."
I grunt, "Amy is not that bad, You two are just in a tight spot that is all."
Justin paused for a minute as he whispered, "We just been trying everything to get pregnant and it is driving her nuts."
I rolled my eyes, "And with Lee getting Pam pregnant left and right is doesn't help." He chuckled, "So you heard?"
I shook my head, "God please tell me that she is not pregnant again this is what her fourth kid." He laughed, "It will be fourth and fifth." I rolled my eyes, "Twins great."
He laughed, "I will be there in couple hours." I nodded my head, "If I am not here, I will be at the hospital."
