Chapter 54: Loved ones

*****Ok first, I just wanna ask everyone to pray for A.J and let God give him the strength to heal his open wombs and become the same A.J we've all grown to love. ~Theresa*****

“Shake your bon, bon, shake your bon, bon!” Theresa and Stephanie sang as Theresa danced around the makeshift kitchen preparing the three girls their take out dinner.

“Mmm…that pizza smells good.” Lisa said over the music that came from the TV.

“Well ladies dig in!” Theresa smirked sitting plates in front of her friends.

“Thanks.” Lisa and Stephanie smiled.

“Hey guys…guess what?”

“What Lisa?” Theresa questioned sitting down at the small table.

“It’s been like forever since we’ve been together to ya know…catch up.” Lisa stated.

“Yeah and?” Stephanie joked. “Ok, yeah I know…we’ve all been so busy with our boyfriends and shit like that.”

“Dude, I didn’t even realize.” Theresa sighed. “Ok lets catch up.”

“Yeah lets start with Steph…” Lisa giggled winking at Theresa.

“Yeah lets…not wait! Lets play questions.” Theresa said.

“Ok.” Lisa rolled her eyes. “I’m still starting with Stephanie.”

“Oh dear.” Stephanie sighed. “Ask away.”

“What’s all of the positions that you and Kevin have ever had sex in?” Lisa asked.

“I am not answering that!” Stephanie gasped.

“Just answer it.”

"Fine…I don’t know how many.”

“Uh oh!” Theresa laughed.

“Ok now my turn!” Stephanie grinned. “Theresa…have you and A.J ever did anything ‘sexual’?”

“Um….” Theresa blushed and looked away. “Kinda.”

“Do what?” Stephanie’s eyes shot wide.

“Well…see…one day over at A.J’s he was kinda um…”

“Let me explain for ya Trease.” Lisa giggled. “She whacked him off.”

“No way!” Stephanie gasped. “You’re going to hell.”

“Shut up Steph!” Theresa demanded arching a plucked brow at her. “My turn. Lisa, have you and Kyle done anything naughty yet?”

“I don’t know. We’ve made out here and there…he’s kinda ya know…used some fingers and I did the ‘Theresa’.” Lisa laughed.

“Shut up!” Theresa mumbled. “That’s nothing to joke about Lease…really.”

-December 23: 10:45 a.m.-

Waking up to the sun shining through the cracked curtains of the windows in A.J’s house, Theresa yawned as she sat up stretching then fell back against the pillows. Looking over, she noticed that A.J wasn’t in bed with her, arching a brow she stood from the bed fixing her strap to her tank top cause it was twisted, Theresa headed out of the room and towards the kitchen area of the house.

“La, de, da, Theresa is hungry.” She sang quietly to herself as she fixed a bowl of cereal. Just as she poured the milk into the glass bowl, she heard A.J’s deep raspy voice talking then the sound of the cordless phone being hung up then placed in its charging cradle. “A.J?” She called heading into the den where she saw him standing just staring at the phone. “Good morning.” Theresa whispered wrapping her arms around his waist and kissing his back before resting her head in between his shoulder blades. When he didn’t respond, she lifted her head and asked, “Baby? What’s wrong?”

“My…” He trailed off his head dropping into his hands. Just then Theresa felt tears fall onto her hands where they were resting against his stomach.

“A.J…baby…please tell me what’s wrong.” Theresa pleaded pulling her arms away from his waist and turning him to look at her. “You’re scaring me.” She stated when he just started to sob.

“My…grandmother…” He kept tumbling over his words as if trying to remember how to pronounce them. “She’s in the hospital, she’s very ill.”

“Oh J, I’m sorry.” Theresa apologized as she pulled him into her arms and held him in a tight hug.

“I’m scared, Theresa…I don’t want to loose her.” A.J cried.

“Oh baby…your not going to loose her…I promise.” Theresa comforted moving them towards the couch so they would sit down. “Give me your hand.”

“Why?”

“Just give it to me.” Theresa said as A.J rested his large hand into her tiny one. Clasping both hands over his, Theresa pulled it to touch her forehead as she began to mumble softly under her breath. “Heavenly father up above, please watch over A.J’s grandmother as she receives her best health. All in the name of the lord. Amen.” Opening her eyes she looked at A.J noticed him staring at her. “What?”

“Thank you.”

“Anytime babe, I love you so much and I just don’t want you to loose anyone you love.” Theresa smiled lightly as she kissed his lips gently while wiping away the fresh tears. “You wanna go to the hospital to see her?” A.J just nodded as more tears flowed down his cheeks.

“I love you.” A.J muttered into her hair.

“I love you too.”

-Later-

“What room?” Theresa asked as her and A.J watched hand in hand down the corridor of the hospital.

“580.” He muttered holding tightly onto the bouquet of red roses and a pink bunny with a balloon attached it that said ‘I love you…so get well!’. Finally arriving at the room, Theresa could hear A.J inhale sharply as his hand reached for the door.

“You can do it baby…just be strong.” Theresa whispered kissing his shoulder. He looked down at her with a reassuring smile as he opened the door. Walking in, the sound of machines and heart monitors filled the room along with the quiet talk between A.J’s family.

“Hey grandma.” A.J smiled when he saw her tired face.

“Oh my little Alex.” She whispered as he handed her the roses and just showed her the bunny before placing it on the bed next to her. “Who’s this lovely lady?”

“Shh mom…don’t talk to much please. Remember what Dr. Elken’s told you?” Denise hissed smiling lightly at the elder women.

“Yes I do.” She sighed. “Answer my question baby.”

“Well…this is Theresa grandma, my girlfriend.” A.J replied wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Right after kissing Theresa’s cheek he noticed his grandmothers odd look.

“Amanda?”

“We broke up a while back.” A.J replied.

“It’s nice to meet you…” Theresa trailed off hoping someone would tell her A.J’s granny’s name.

“Call me grandma. Baby.”

“Ok.” Theresa smiled shaking her delicate hand that felt like ice cubes.

“So how long is she gonna be here?” A.J asked nervously looking between her mom and grandpa.

“A week. Maybe less. Just long enough for her to get her treatments.” Denise answered rubbing her mother’s arms.

“So she’ll be in here for Christmas?” A.J wondered.

“Yeah. Were just gonna have Christmas here this time.” Denise replied. “Your gonna be here aren’t you Alex?”

“Yeah.”

“What about you dear?” Denise asked Theresa.

“Sure if you don’t mind…I mean I don’t want to intrude…”

“Nah baby, you wouldn’t be. I promise.” A.J smiled kissing her cheek while Denise nodded reassuringly.

“I’d love for you to spend Christmas with us.”

-With Kevin-

“Christmas is in one day.” Kevin smiled as he kissed Stephanie forehead while they laid in his bed.

“I know. So what did you get me?” Stephanie questioned looking up into his piercing green eyes.

“Hmm…that I cant tell you.” Kevin growled sexually winking at her.

“Uh oh…should I be scared?” Stephanie giggled.

“No baby…not at all.” He chuckled. “So what are we going to do for Christmas?”

“Oh shit…I never thought about that!” Stephanie gasped. “I know daddy’s gonna want me to be with him.”

“Well…Steph, how about we got up to my families for Christmas Eve and then on Christmas day we can go be with your family. What do you say?” Kevin stated.

“That sounds good…but if were gonna go that soon, we’d better get up and start packing.” Stephanie giggled.

“Not until I get a kiss.” Kevin smirked as Stephanie looked up and kissed Kevin deeply, their tongues doing a small little dance together.
