Nightmare at the Maddox Residence

In the middle of the night while everyone was sleeping. Jeanohntae was kicking in her sleep. Her movements woke Christian up. He looked over at the sleeping woman and noticed she was sweating really bad and kicking. She looked as if she is in a nightmare.

"Jeanohntae. Sweetheart." Christian was shaking Jeanohntae trying to wake her up from her nightmare. "Jean wake up. Sweetheart."

After what felt like forever to wake her up. The peaceful and quiet night in the villa was ruined when Jeanohntae woke up screaming. Christian was frightened. "Sweetheart! Jeanohntae calm down. It was just a dream." Jeanohntae kept pushing him away still screaming. Christian could not get through to her. He did not know what to do.

He had no choice but to forcefully hug her in his embrace to keep her from hitting him or hurting herself. Jeanohntae was still struggling trying to escape from Christian no matter how tight he hugged her. "Jean calm down please. Sweetheart. Please. It was only a dream." Christian was pleading with the frightened Jeanohntae. He continued to soothe her till she finally calmed down.

She was still crying when she slowly opened her eyes and saw Christian who had a stray tear in his eyes from the sight before him. "Chris!??" Christian looked at Jeanohntae in his arms. "Jean, it was just a dream." Christian kept telling her it was a dream but even he was scared. He had never experienced something like that.

A minute later, the whole house came barging into the room scaring Jeanohntae. She jumped out of Christian's arms and fell off the other side of the bed in fright.

Christian jumped out of bed in a panic when Jeanohntae fell. "Shit! Jean, are you okay!??" He quickly helped Jeanohntae up and back on the bed. He looked at everyone who came barging into his room.

"What are you all doing in here!?? I just calmed her down and you all scared her again." Christian had a coldness in his voice. "I'm sorry Chris, but we heard Jeanohntae scream and we had to check on her." Joseph said.

Rudy walked further in closer to them. "Jean, what happened sweetheart!??"

All Jeanohntae could do was shake her head. She was too terrified to speak.

Christian sighed looking at Rudy. "Everything is alright now Uncle Rudy. She just had a nightmare."

Nellie who was in the back, was growing impatient and stormed towards Jeanohntae and Christian. "So not only did I not get a gift like the rest, but I get disturbed from my sleep over a nightmare. Seriously!??"

Joseph glared at Nellie with a hateful look. "Is there a problem!?? If you don't like being disturbed, then you can leave. You have no idea what she has been through.

Christian was getting annoyed at Nellie. "Go back to your room and shut up. ALL OF YOU LEAVE!"

Everyone left as told except for Rudy and Joseph. They did not want to leave. They were extremely worried.

"Dad, Uncle Rudy. You guys can go back now. I got it from here. I'll calm her down and get her back to bed." Christian said softly, not wanting to scare Jeanohntae even more.

"Okay. Please let me know if anything else happens." Rudy said in a low and soft voice.

Joseph and Rudy left the room while Christian was still holding on to Jeanohntae. "Sweetheart, let me make you a bath so you can relax."

Christian gently slid away from Jeanohntae and went to prepare a bath for her. When he came out of the bathroom. He saw Jeanohntae curled up on the corner of the bed.

He slowly walked over and helped Jeanohntae to her feet and guide her to the bathroom. "I'll be outside if you need me."

Christian left Jeanohntae standing in the bathroom alone. As soon as the door closed, she took off her clothes and gently got into the bathtub. As soon as her body was submerged in the water. Her tensed body began to relax.

She closed her eyes and just enjoyed the warm water and beautiful smell of the bubbled filled bath.

Joseph and Rudy were downstairs talking. "Joseph, should we call Kyle!?? I feel like she needs a check up. He does not know that Jeanohntae has been injured multiples times." Joseph sighed and put his head in his heads. "Kyle might be furious at us if we call him now. He might smack us in the back of the head if he found out we have been keeping this from him."

An hour had passed and Christian was sitting on the bed getting kind of nervous because Jeanohntae still never came out. As he stood to check on her, the bathroom door opened and Jeanohntae walked out in a bathrobe.

Jeanohntae may have forgotten that Christian was still in the room and paused when she saw him. Christian quickly turned around and faced the wall.

Jeanohntae forced a small smile at Christian for respecting her privacy. She walked into the closet and 20 minutes later she was done changing.

"You can turn around now Chris." Jeanohntae said in a low voice.

Christian turned around and saw her sitting on the bed silent. "Jean, talk to me. What happened!??"

Jeanohntae looked up at Christian and began tearing. "I guess I had a really bad nightmare about the time I got shot. I really thought it was happening again."

Christian hugged her and gently squeezed her arm. "You don't need to worry about that anymore. I'm here with you now. I'll protect you. You really scared me."

"I'm sorry." Jeanohntae said lightly sobbing.

Christian cupped her cheeks in his hands. "There is nothing to be sorry for. You have been through so much and everyone knows that. No one is mad at you for it."

Jeanohntae wiped away her tears. "Thank you."

Christian smiled. "Come on, let's get you back to bed to rest a little more." He helped her settle into the bed and he too got into bed.

Christian could not see Jeanohntae's face because her back was facing him. He could not sleep. About 2 hours later, her breathing finally evened out and he knew she was finally asleep.

He was able to relax a little better knowing she was sleeping and he soon succumbed to sleep.
