Chasing Champions

This is home

Sarah POV:

The past week has been a roller coaster to say the least. From winning the title, to finding out I was pregnant to finding out I was going to have twins along after losing one of my babies. Right now I was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting on my discharge papers to go through because all I wanted to do is go home. Home with Chase, because we need to be alone together for a while. As much as I love my family and adore his family and our friends, I just need sometime to myself. And I think he felt the same way, so as he finished putting all of our things back into our bag I felt myself slowly stand up. After gaining my balance I walked carefully over to him and hugged him from behind. I could feel his back tense up before relaxing, and standing there for a minute before he carefully turned around and pulling me into his arms while burying his face in my hair, I bury mine into his chest. This was the only moments I felt safe, where I felt normal. As he starts to rub my back in comfort, I sigh as my eyes flutter closed and a very small smile appears on my face. Even though we had both lost a lot, we also still have a lot. We will never forget, as Chase has taken to calling, our angel. But we can't stop and wallow either, we have a baby to plan for still. And thanks to me going through all that, we now know that was are having a little boy. A beautiful baby boy that I know we will smother in love to the point of being obnoxious. I suddenly hear a knock on the door and turn my head to see the nurse standing there with a smile holding up my papers, and I couldn't help but smile back as I break away from Chase and walk towards her. I reach her right as she pulls a pen out of her pocket and hands me the papers, quickly signing them we were out the door and out of the hospital before they could change their minds. I breath in the fresh air and feel the sun hitting my face and throw my arms out to the side with a laugh. Behind me I could hear Chase laughing at me from behind me, spinning to face him I couldn't help but grin like a dork as I say,

"Dobby is free! Dobby is a free elf, Dobby is free from the evil building of doooooooom."

Chase cracks up as he quickly comes towards me and picks me up around my ribs and spins me around. Neither of us cared about the people watching us with shock to happiness. Nothing mattered at the moment but the family that we were building together. When he finishes spinning me around he doesn't sit me down, he just starts walking making me squeak and wrap my legs around his waist. I lightly hit his back as I lay my head on his shoulder saying,

"Dude, really? People were already looking, now there starring!"

I could feel his chest vibrate as he chuckles and kisses the crown of my head answering,

"I don't care. Your mine to spoil rotten in anyway I see fit. You are my queen, let me be your king."

I bit my lip to keep the goofy grin hidden as we reach his truck, sitting me down by my door I give him a kiss before he could open my door. But what I thought was going to be a quick kiss wasn't, his hands came up and rested at my neck keeping my head in place as he kissed back. It didn't get deep, hot or heavy. It was slow, loving, and grounding. It was exactly what I didn't even know I wanted. As we broke apart I noticed he had tears in his eyes, with a frown I place my hands on the sides of his face and wipe the lone tear that started to fall. Before I could ask why he was tearful, he just shakes his head with a soft smile and opens the door for me. I look at him with a bit of worry before carefully climbing into the truck with his help. Once we both get in and hit the road, I reach out and grab his hand and he entangles our fingers together as he brings them to his lips and kisses my knuckles. As we reach home I couldn't help but sag in relief. I couldn't wait to go inside and see Babe, and just be home. I really wanted to take a long hot bath and relax but couldn't for at least another 2 weeks because of the incision on my lower stomach. I was very lucky that a robotic surgeon was in the hospital when I was rushed in or I'd be needing help with everything for a while. Right now it's sore but manageable. I couldn't sit up from laying down by myself or turn in bed yet, but I could walk around and stand up from sitting down. I was told it will get a lot easier in a few more days.
