It's All Going To Be Ok Pt. 1

Charlie’s Pov:

“Baby. I’m home!” I yell as I walk into the house, exhausted after a long day of filming for a new movie I’m working on. I put my keys up on their hook as Koa runs up to me. 

“Hey bubba. Where’s mama? Hmm? Where is she?” I say as I pet his head while he licks my hand. 

“How about we go find her? Hmm?” I say as I pick him up and he cuddles into me, making me smile. 

“Y/n!! Baby?” I call out as I walk to the back of the house where our room is. 

After walking down the hall I finally make it to our bedroom door, but I frown as I hear a light whimper. I open the door and walk over to the bed. Koa immediately jumps out of my arms and onto the bed. 

He runs on the bed over to y/n, who seems to be asleep. She lets out a soft whimper again before curling into a little ball, making Koa look at her confused, but then only to cuddle into her side.

“Awe sweetie….” I say as I realize what’s going on. 

“Koa,” I say and the pup looks up at me. 

“Take care of mama, ok. I’ll be right back,” I say and Koa just lays his head back down as he licks y/n’s hand, which I take as an ok. 

I quickly go and look in our cupboard to see if her snacks are still stocked. I’m not shocked at all to see most of them gone. Then, pulling out my phone, I make a quick list and then run to the bathroom to check her stock of supplies in there. 

Again, I find that she’s run out, so I quickly add that to the list. I then head to the front door and grab my keys before leaving. A few minutes later I pull into a parking space at the Walmart that’s down the street and turn off my car. 

I head into the store with my list open so I can go quickly and get home fast. First, I grab a hand basket before I start to cross off all the food items, then head to the women’s section. Not sure what she’d want, I just grab both of her favorite products. 

I get one pack of the tampons I know she uses and one pack of day pads along with one pack of the night pads just in case. I then hurry over to the self-checkout.

Once at the register, I start to check out everything. As I go to scan one of the pineapple cans, it doesn’t seem to be working so I sigh and press the help button. 

“Excuse me, sir. Let me help you,” the lady watching over the self checkout says as she comes up to help me. 

“Oh. Thank you,” I say as she grabs the can and scans it, then puts her badge number in. 

“There you go. It should let you move on now. I’m here if you need me,” she says as she places the pineapples down next to the pads. 

“Ahh, shopping for a lucky woman?” she asks and I smile. 

“My wife, actually,” I say as I pull out my wallet and she smiles at me. 

“Lucky woman. I don’t know any men who’d willingly go buy this stuff for their wives. How long have you two been married?” she asks and I smile proudly at her. 

“Almost three years now,” I say fondly.

“Aww, that’s sweet. Anyway, have a wonderful rest of the night,” she says with a big smile. 

“You too, ma'am,” I say and nod at her before she walks off. 

I pay for all my items, then grab everything and walk back out to my car. After putting the stuff away in some bags that are always in the car, I close the trunk. Then I get into the car myself and head home.

When I walk in the front door, I bring in two or three bags and set them down in the kitchen, then go back to lock the door. Once it’s locked, I put my keys away and start to unpack the bags.

I unload all the food in the kitchen then I grab the pamperin from the medicine cabinet. Next I grab the tampons and two pad boxes before walking to our bathroom to put them away, which makes Koa lift his head every time I walk through. 

I then walk to our closet to her stuffie box and grab her sock. I set the pills by our bed on her bedside table and check on her. When I see she’s fine, I quickly take the rice sock and warm it up just like I know she loves it. 

When the sock is nice and warm, I head back to our room. Once in our room I sit down next to her and gently rub her hair out of her face. 

“Y/n. Baby. Wake up. I got something for you,” I say and her eyes open slowly. 

“Hmmm. Charlie? What are you doing home?” she asks as she rubs the sleep off her face and I chuckle. 

“Apple, it’s like six o’clock,” I say and her eyes widen. 

“No. No. Babe, it can’t be. I haven’t gotten a single thing done,” she says as she starts to get up. 

I go to settle her down, but she just pushes past me until she gets a good look at the bed. 

“Nooo… now the sheets are stained. I’ll clean them,” she says and I shake my head. 

“You will not. I’ll clean up. You go shower,” I say and she sighs. 

“Are you sure?” she asks as I get started with changing the sheets. 

“Positive, babe. At least we know you're not pregnant. Yet,” I say with a chuckle and she glares at me as I bounce my eyebrows at her. 

“Shut up. The pain is so bad. Ya know, I really think there should be a way you guys can feel it. So you can know what I’m going though,” she says with a light giggle. 

“Really? Babe, you know if there was a way to take your pain I would, but all I can do is help lessen it for you,” I say as I give her a light hug and she smiles lightly at me before she groans in pain again.

“Really, angel, go have a relaxing shower. It’s fine,” I say and she gives me a grateful smile.

She leaves the room and I strip the bed before throwing the sheets in the wash. Next, I put some new sheets on as well as our blankets and anything else that’s usually on our bed. 

“Charlie!!” Y/n calls out from the shower and I stop what I’m doing to check on her.

“Yes, sweetie?” I say as I look in. 

“I feel very nauseous…” y/n says from where she sits on the shower floor with her head between her legs. 

“Ok. Let’s get you out then,” I say as I walk over to the shower. 

I grab her towel and hold it out for her as she stands up slowly. She stands, I hold out my hand for her and she takes it. When she’s standing upright, I wrap the towel around her and gently dry her off. 

When done drying her off, I grab the shirt she has sitting on the counter and open it up for her. When it’s on I finally see that it is one of my shirts. 

“Babe... this is my shirt,” I say and she giggles lightly, making me smile. 

“Yeah, so? I’m your wife. It’s my job to steal your clothes. Plus they bring me comfort, so get over it,” she says and I chuckle before she doubles over and groans. 

Next I help her into her underwear that already has a pad in them. Then I grab her Nike shorts that I know she wears during this time and help her into them as well. 

“You wanna go lay down now?” I ask her as I stroke her back under her, well, my shirt. 

“Yes please…” she says and I nod before I start to lead her out to our room. 

I turn off the light in the bathroom as she goes and slowly crawls into our bed. 

“Why don’t you take some pain meds? It’s right there on your side table. I’ll go rewarm this up for you,” I say as I grab the sock. 

“Thank you. Love you!” she calls out to me as I get into the hallway and I chuckle. 

“You’re very welcome, nugget. I love you too!” I yell back to her before I walk the rest of the way to the kitchen. 

I toss the sock back into the microwave for a minute and thirty seconds, and when it’s done I quickly take it back out. Koa comes into the kitchen and starts to lap up some water before running off again. Probably to cuddle his mama, no doubt. 

If anyone thought I was bad with seeing y/n in pain, Koa is much worse. After I take the sock out I grab a Slim Jim and chocolate bar before walking back to our room. 

“Here ya go, nugget. Nice and warm for you,” I say as I hand her the sock. 

“Hmm. Thank you…” she says with a hum of relief as she takes it from me and immediately puts it right on her stomach. 

“I love the warmth so much…” she says, now in pure drowsiness. 

“I know you do. It helps you sleep,” I say and she nods tiredly. 

“Yeah. Issue now, though, is that I don’t know if I can with how much I already have slept today,” she says and I chuckle. 

“Honey. You obviously don’t know yourself that well. You and sleep are like the world's greatest best friends,” I say with a chuckle as she giggles while I set her slim Jim and chocolate down. 

I then get into bed beside her and pull her close, cuddling her and kissing her cheek. Koa stays by her side and just sleeps next to her as she pets him on the head. He lets out a small whine when she stops, making her giggle and immediately go back to petting him. 

“Here baby, eat this. The smell will help the nausea,” I say as I hand her the slim Jim that I grabbed off my bedside table. 

“Thank you,” she mumbles before she takes it and opens it. 

She nuzzles closer to me and lays her head on my chest. I smile before kissing her forehead as I start to rub the back of her head. As I massage the back of her head, I look at something on my phone and she lets out a hum of content. 

“Feeling a little better baby?” I say as I continue to massage the back of her head. 

“Feeling so much better now that you're here. Thank you honey,” she says and I give her forehead a kiss again. 

“I also brought you a chocolate bar,” I say as I reach over, put my phone down and grab the chocolate bar. 

I hand it to her and she smiles at me as she takes it. She then turns and sets it on her nightstand, then comes right back to cuddling me. 

“Aww. Thank you babe. I’ll eat it in a bit. Can we watch something?” she asks and I nod before grabbing the remote. 

“What do you wanna watch?” I ask as I turn the tv on. 

“How about that one documentary you were telling me about?” she asks and I smile before going to Netflix to look for it. 

I press play and she watches half of it before falling back to sleep. I smile at her before turning off the tv. 

“Koa, buddy,” I say and he lifts his head like he did earlier. 

“Take care of mama, ok?” I say and pet his head before he lays back down and yawns. 

When I’m sure she’s ok, I leave the room and walk down the hall to my office. Once in my office I quickly order myself dinner and some food on the side for y/n, knowing that she most likely wouldn’t have a full appetite till tomorrow morning. Once I’m done ordering food I set up to do a live. 

When my phone is in its stand, I grab my guitar before starting the live. I wait only a minute before I have quite a few people on and watching. 

“Hey guys. This will be a short one today, but I promised to do a live today so here we are,” I say as comments roll in while I gently strum my guitar.

“Why will it be short?” I read off one of the comments that I see and smile. 

“Well, y/n is a little under the weather today, so ya know. As her husband I gotta be there to take care of her,” I say with a big smile as I see a bunch of “awes” roll in. 

“Where is she now?” I say, again reading a comment out loud.

“Right now she’s getting some well needed sleep. Koa’s with her, so ya know he’ll take care of his mama. If anyone is worse than me at worrying about her, it’s Koa,” I say and smile when people start sending in awes again. 

“Oh hello, Jer!” I say as I see everyone saying hi to him. 

“Do you want to come on?” I say and watch for his reply. 

“Alright. Hold on. Imma send you the request,” I say when I see him send me a yes in all caps. 

I set my guitar down and quickly send him a request for him to join. When it’s sent I wait for a minute before he connects. 

“Hey man!” he says once his face pops up on my screen. 

“Hey! How’s the married life, buddy?” I say as I once again pick up my guitar with a chuckle as he rolls his eyes. 

“Oh you know… wonderful!” he says and I smile. 

“Welcome to the club, man,” I say and he grins. 

“Thanks man,” Jeremy says as he laughs. 

“How’s y/n doing? She texted me earlier saying she wasn’t feeling good. Then when I messaged her back she didn’t reply,” Carolynn says as she comes up behind Jer and hugs him from behind. 

“She’s good. Slept most of the day away, but Koa’s been her little cuddle buddy all day,” I say and Carolynn smiles. 

“Awe, Koa loves his mama, huh?” Jer says and I chuckle. 

“Yeah. I’m starting to get a little jealous. She cuddles him more than me,” I say and we all laugh. 

“I think it’s cute. He’s like your guy's little baby,” Carolynn says and I nod with my eyes wide. 

“Oh he’s definitely our little baby,” I say, confirming Carolynn’s words. 

“Anyway, how’s Jake and Fin, aka your babies?” I say with a chuckle and they both smile. 

“Your nephews are doing amazing, actually! They cuddle Jere a little more than me, but that’s only because he was gone for a while again. So they missed him,” Carolynn says as she takes the phone and switches the camera around. 

“I’m sure they are,” I say with a big smile before I hear the doorbell ring. 

“Can you guys give me just a minute? Our food just got here,” I say as I set my guitar down on the floor and they nod before they start to talk with the fans. 

I quickly get up and head to the front door. Opening it, I see the bag of food on the ground just outside the door. I pick it up and bring it into the kitchen, set it on the counter, and then head back to the live stream. 

“Ok. I’m back. Thanks guys for entertaining everyone while I was gone,” I say and they smile. 

“It was no problem man. We gotta go now, though. We’ll see you guys soon, yeah?” Jeremy asks and I smile with a nod. 

“Ok man. See you guys soon,” I say and they both wave before disappearing from the live. 

“Ok. What do you guys wanna do or talk about now?” I ask the people watching only to get a bunch of comments saying “Sing Unsaid Emily”. 

“You guys really like Unsaid Emily, huh? Well ok,” I say and grab my guitar from my side where I had previously laid it down. 

“Ok here we go,” I say as I start to play the familiar chords. 

♪ First things first

We start the scene in reverse

All of the lines rehearsed

Disappeared from my mind

When things got loud

One of us running out

I should've turned around

But I had too much pride ♪

I sing through the first part of the song as I play my guitar and the fans go crazy. 

♪ No time for goodbyes

Didn't get to apologize

Pieces of a clock that lies broken

If I could take us back, if I could just do that

And write in every empty space the words "I love you" in replace ♪

I sing the next part and as I finish up the last line, I feel arms wrap around my neck, making me smile. 

♪ Then maybe time would not erase me

If you could only know I'd never let you go

And the words I most regret are the ones I never meant to leave

Unsaid Emily ♪

I sing and finish off after the chorus, and then put my guitar down before pulling y/n down into my lap. 

“Guys, it looks like my wonderful wife needs me, so I’m going to end the live here,” I say as I rub her leg and a lot of “awes” and “oh my goodness you guys are adorable” flood through the comments, making me smile. 

“Awe, thanks guys. Bye, have a good night!” I say and smile when people send me “byes” or the waving hand emoji. 

“Wanna say bye, babe?” I ask and she giggles. 

“Hello and goodbye. Have a great night guys,” she says as she waves into the camera. 

I then reach forward and press the end live botton. It takes a moment, but soon it tells me I fully ended it. 

“Oh! I’ll be back, baby. I’ve really gotta pee,” she says as she gets up off my lap and I shake my head chuckling as she races to our bathroom. 

I take my phone off of the tripod and leave Instagram to look at something else. I look at a few different things before Koa comes running into the room. 

“Hi buba,” I say as I pick him up and he licks my face. 

“Should we go see if mama’s done in the bathroom?” I ask and he nuzzles into me, making me chuckle. 

“I’m going to take that as a yes,” I say before grabbing my phone, putting it in my pocket and getting up from the chair. 

“Y/n baby. You done in the bathroom?” I ask as I walk into our room only to smile when I see her walk out of the bathroom. 

“Hey. How ya feeling?” I ask her as she comes over to me on the floor next to our bed, play fighting with Koa. 

“Honestly? Really bad. The room is spinning and my heart feels like it’s going to beat right out of my chest,” she says and I look up at her for a moment, making my smile fall before I stand up and walk closer to her. 

“Babe, you're really pale,” I say as I get a close look at her. 

“Maybe I should lay down a while then…” she says as she starts to get up from the edge of the bed. 

She slowly walks to the corner of her side (the right side), but freezes before she can make it any further. 

“Babe? Baby? What’s wron-” I ask as I walk up closer to her, but before I can finish, she starts to fall back. I immediately catch her, then sit on the floor with her in my lap. 

“Babe? Honey. Come on, show me your beautiful eyes…” I say as I shake her a little before moving hair out of her face. 

“Y/n. Come on, wake up…” I say and still get nothing out of her. 

Koa comes over and licks her hand and her face, yet still nothing from y/n. This is when I start to panic and decide to take her to the emergency room. Quickly I gently push her off my legs so I can stand up and pick her up. 

Once I have her in my arms bridal style, I quickly run out to the car and put her in. Koa follows me the whole way and I sigh before picking him up. 

“You can’t come with, bubs. I’m sorry buddy,” I say and he whines almost like he knows exactly what I said as I knock on our neighbors door. 

“Oh hi, Charlie! What do you need?” Our neighbor Mrs. Undermire asks with a light smile. 

“Hi Mrs. Undermire. I’m sorry to ask this, but can you watch Koa for us? There's an emergency that me and y/n have to go check on. I’ll have someone come pick him up. We just really have to get going,” I say, trying not to make the old lady freak out much. 

“Of course dear. Don’t worry about it. You go take care of that emergency,” she says as she takes Koa from me. 

“Thank you so very much,” I say to her before leaving and getting into the car. 

After I get in, I look over at y/n and see that she’s still out. So I quickly put my key in the ignition and pull out of the driveway. I drive as quickly as I can without going over the speed limit. 

Before I know it, I’m pulling into a parking lot and shutting the car off. I quickly get out and go around to y/n’s side of the car to get her out. I then carry her in and a nurse walks by. 

“Can you help me?” I ask the nurse and he stops to look at me.

“Sure. What seems to be wrong, sir?” he asks as he looks down at y/n. 

“My wife. She passed out when we were back at home,” I say and he nods before taking a hold of my arm before he starts to lead me over to a gurney.

“Here sir. Put her down here. I’ll have another nurse take her back to be looked over while I ask you some questions,” the nurse says as I put her down and he turns back. 

“Lesa! Can you take this young woman back to a room and start to look her over?” he says to a nurse that’s behind us. 

“Sure thing sweetie!” Lesa says as she starts to wheel y/n away. 

“Ok. Well, my name is James. I’m going to ask you a few questions. Then you can go back and be with her, ok?” he says in a calming tone and all I can bring myself to do is nod as I rub my palms on my pants. 

“Ok. I'm going to go get some paperwork then I’ll be right back,” he says and I nod before he walks off. 

To Be Continued…
