Sparkles : Shine (Book #3) The Russo Series {Completed}

Chapter 13

Ricardo raises a brow as he enters the room to finds Naomi asleep on Richard's lap. Seeing his brother Richard sighs in relief as he points at the bed and then to his wife.

With a smile and shake of his head Ricardo walks towards the couple before he grabs Naomi's arm softly and Richard lifts Naomi's head from his lap as he lets Ricardo carry Naomi towards the bed, putting her down Ricardo pulls the cover to her body.

Staring back at his brother he grins mischievously.

"Want me to kiss on her forehead for you?" Ricardo teases and Richard throws a cushion at Ricardo who chuckles moving back to where Richard was.

Helping his brother to lie down, Ricardo pushes the table closer to the couch so Richard can put his leg on top of it.

"I will look for a room with two beds at the hospital" Ricardo voices and Richard waves his hand.

"No need, just ask when we can get back home, I am tired of sitting inside a room" he sighs.

"The doctor will be here in a bit then maybe we can ask if you two can fly back" Ricardo states and Richard nods before he goes to close his eyes to get some rest.

"Would let you rest, bro but mom's been calling" Ricardo points making Richard sigh as he puts his hands out even while closing his eyes so Ricardo dials the number and hands him the phone.

********

"Video" Alana demands as soon as the call connects and Richard drops his hand down to let Ricardo handle their mom.

"Mom, he is fine" Ricardo informs but Alana was not having it.

"I need visual proof" she demands so having no other option Ricardo joins the video call as he moves it towards Richard.

"My little Angel looks so weak" the woman sighs.

"He is just fine mom"

"He got shot, Rick" Alana reminds her son and Ricardo shakes his head before he moves the camera towards Naomi who was asleep on the bed.

"Oh, they are in the same room" Alana smiles.

"Yes, now that you have seen them can we stop?" Ricardo asks his mother who hushes him.

"Zoom the camera" Gabby joins in and Ricardo sighs as he changes the camera to front view and smiles.

"Hey Precious" he smiles at his wife.

"Turn the camera towards Naomi, Rare. I see you all the time" Gabby demands making Richard cough while Ricardo begrudgingly turns the camera towards Naomi.

"She is real and alive" Gabby confirms before demanding Ricardo to move closer.

"She is asleep, Precious and it is kind of creepy to video her while she is asleep" Ricardo reminds his wife.

"Then close your eyes" Gabby asks before Ricardo hands the phone to Richard.

"Mom, Gabby" Richard smiles as he opens his eyes and Alana starts tearing up.

"Are you hurt?" Alana asks him while Gabby waves her hand.

"I am good mom, just relax" he smiles.

"She looks real" Alana smiles talking about Naomi.

"She is real mom; now can we do this later?" he asks her and she frowns.

"Just put the camera on, we won't even say a word"

"Mom, it is creepy to watch when someone is sleeping, now I am tired, so is Naomi, Rick and dad. Can we talk later?" he asks making Alana sigh.

"Your father is not even receiving his calls" she points.
