Midnight Sun

59. Caught

Elizabeth's POV

It's been a week and Bella has improved so much but there is something going on with her. I watch her fall asleep on me every night but when I wake up, she's in my clothes with her hair tied up into a bun. She has been eating more and she has regained her color but she still have her reactions to loud noises and sudden sounds. "Liz?" She called running her hand up and down my stomach. 

"Yes baby girl?" I mumble pulling her on top of me, running my hand up and down her back. "I have improved, why haven't you let me see our son yet?" She asks making me sigh and turn my head towards her. "I'm scared you might get scared," I mumble looking down. "You're scared I'm going to hurt him," she whisper lifting my head up looking into my eyes. "I-I," I stutter not wanting her to break down again. "It's okay, I understand," she sighs placing a kiss on my forehead. 

"Wha-what?" I mumble surprise by her action. "It's okay," she sigh laying on my shoulder falling asleep with the plugs in her ear. "O-kay," I mumble relaxing to her touch and fell asleep with her.
---------------------------

I let out a low sigh feeling around for Bella. I opened my eyes knowing she didn't go to the bathroom without me since the first day she was here. I saw the door close making me frown and quickly get up. I softly opened the door and pressed my fingers to my lips. "Where is she going?" I ask them telepathically. "To feed her son. You didn't know she did this every night?" He asks as I frown watching her walk out of the building. I saw them bow as I followed behind her with a distance.

Wait, what if she gets scared by our injured men? I frowned and began to run but slowed down when I saw her touch their shoulders as she went past them. I watch her bend down to one and kiss his head as he smile and bow his head. "She's a true queen," Page purr making me smile and walk into our home. "Sit, sit. You all are resting," I whisper seeing why Bella was being so respectful to our men. "Thank you for protecting my Bella," I smile checking up on each of them.

I peaked my head around the corner of the kitchen to see the breast pump on the counter and two bottles and a half on the counter. I watch her lean her forehead against the fridge, rubbing her breast as I hear soft whimpers from Jarrod. "I'm coming prince," she whispered placing two of the full bottles in the fridge with a sticky note. She closed the door and grabbed the half full bottle while lifting her head up in the air. I pulled away watching her silently go up the stairs to Jarrod's room. 

I heard her enter his room then closed the door, allowing me to go up and peak through our room first to see Makayla asleep. I smile to myself going down to Jarrod's room and hear her hum along with the sound of Jarrod feeding. I frown feeling like a terrible parent for preventing Jarrod to see Bella. "Come in Elizabeth," I hear my wife hum making me freeze and look at the guards. I slowly opened the door seeing her hold Jarrod while feeding him. "Bella," I whisper walking in and close the door behind me. I walked towards her and feel on my knees. 

"I'm sorry," I whisper placing my hand on Jarrod's head and kiss him. "What for? You was only protecting him," she mumbles running her fingers through my hair as I lay my head on her lap. "No I didn't. He needed his proper nutrients and I was preventing him from getting it," I whimper hearing her sigh as I hear Jarrod drink air. "It's okay, Liz," she says pulling him up on her shoulder and pat his back. "I miss him so much," I whisper leaning my head up hearing his long burp. 

"Here, you can put him to sleep," she said placing him in my arms. "You sure?" I ask biting my lip. "Go ahead, babe," she said making me look up at her smiling as I hold him close to me. "You called me, babe," I smile rocking Jarrod on my arms. "I did, didn't I?" She giggles as I stare at her be so comfortable around Jarrod. "You've improved so much and fast," I said laying our baby boy down in his crib. "Really?" She asks wrapping her arms around my waist. 

I turn in her arms and slowly pick her up. "Yes, and I couldn't be more proud of you," I smile feeling her wrap her legs around me. "Let's get you back so we can see about coming back home," I mumble walking out and close the door. "Really?" She mumbles running her fingers through my hair, making me sigh as I walk through the back door and follow the small trail to the infirmary. "Yes, surely this should be enough for you to come back," I hum kissing her shoulder, feeling her body shiver. 

We made it back to her room without any problems. I go back in the bed after sliding my slides off. "Get some sleep my love," I whisper letting her hair down out of her bun. "I love you," she yawns laying on me earning a wide smile. 

"I love you too my strong beautiful queen."
