Private Bryan

Chapter 13:

I awoke with a start, shooting up into a sitting position, but screamed in pain from my head and the damned iv in my arm. What in the flying fuck happened?

"You're awake." Bryan's sister said and smiled. "I'll go get a nurse and my brother. He's going to be so happy to see you."

"Where's my son?" I asked her.

"With bryan. He wouldn't let me take LeLand to my moms house to be with his cousin. He told me that you would want LeLand when you woke up to know that he was okay." She said and patted my foot. "Just relax. I'll be back."

I rested my eyes as she left, trying to block out these damned fluorescent lights. Soon I heard running feet then the all familiar skid of boots on tiled floor.

"You told me she was awake." Bryan snarled at his sister. "I ran all the way here from the cafeteria, holding my sons car seat to see what I've been seeing for a week now?"

"I've been out for a week?" I asked softly and opened my eyes a little bit. Bryan was scruffy but my heart skipped a few beats and the alarms on the machine went off and I jumped.

"Oh god baby." He said and set lelands car seat in the chair and pulled him out then laid him on the bed with me then hugged us both. "They told me you may never wake up again. I didn't believe them."

"Ive got you and a handsome son that need me." I whispered as bryan kissed me, letting me feel just how much he loves me and is glad I'm awake.

A nurse cleared her throat behind bryan and he slowly pulled away, leaving LeLand tucked into my side.

"Sorry for interrupting, but the alarms went off and you woke up. So I need to check your vitals." She said and batted her eyes at bryan. Her eyes locked on him and she swung her hips as she walked in front of him, letting her fingers trail across his chest and my blood boiled.

"Get the fuck out of my room. I want a head nurse. Now." I yelled at her and she disappeared from the room, but not without one final glance at bryan.

"You're back to your old self already honey." Bryan said and grinned. "I love you so much."

"And I love you." I said and smiled as LeLand started babbling. "Mommy loves you too LeLand."

The head nurse walked in, checked my vitals and smiled at me.

"You're good to go sweetie, and don't worry, that nurse you had lost her job. Apparently she's been having sex with other patients and their families. So you just helped us end something that should have never started." She said and unhooked my iv. "Go home and rest. Let your wonderful fiancée here take care of you."

"Thank you." I said as I smiled at her and she looked at LeLand.

"And you have a gorgeous son. He's going to be a little ladies man when he gets older." She said and tickled his belly, which made him giggle. "Go on home you guys. Have a great New Years."

"You do the same." Bryan said as she left and his sister came back in.

"Ready to go?" She asked.

"Does Camile look ready to go?" Bryan asked in an irritated voice.

"I'll be in the waiting room." She said and looked back at us one last time before leaving and shutting the door behind her.

Bryan lifted LeLand from my side and secured him in his car seat before helping me get up and get dressed. His hands were gentle on me as he pulled my clothes on and he wasn't even sexual.

"Let's go home. If my family wants to see you and LeLand they can come over in a few days. Right now, I want you all to myself." He said and grabbed LeLand and our stuff and we left the hospital. After a near death experience, I was ready to go home and be with bryan and our son.
