The A-Team

CH.30

Ali's POV

It's now been two months since Ashlyn came home from the hospital, and she has her third appointment today since being released. Hopefully today she'll be cleared to resume all activities. "Babe you almost ready?" I ask coming out of the bathroom. "Yeah. I just got to tie my shoes." She says. "Okay. I'll meet you downstairs." I tell her with a kiss on the lips before heading downstairs. I walk into the living room where Holland and Ryker are, and I see that they are both asleep on the couch. I kiss Ryker's head as he is laying on top of Holland. I gently shake Holland's shoulder and she slowly opens her eyes. "Hey." I say softly. "Mama and I are about to head out to her apartment and we'll be back in a little bit." I tell her. "Okay." She says. "Alright kiddo be good." I tell her. "Will do Mom." She says and gives me a thumbs up. I chuckle and kiss her head before grabbing my purse and keys when I hear Ash come down the stairs. Ash walks over to the couch and kisses both Ryker and Holland on the head before telling me that she is ready. "Let's go." I say and open the front door. We walk out to my car and get in. I get in the driver's side and Ash gets in the passenger. On the way to the hospital Ash starts picking at her pants. "Are you okay over there?" I ask.

"Just nervous is all." She says. "Why are you nervous?" I ask. "I just want everything to work out and be okay. I mean sure I got my casts off and all, and I can see out of my right eye again. I just want to be cleared to run around with Ryker and be able to pick him up. Help Holland with goalkeeper stuff and teach her how to drive and all that stuff. Help you get the nursery ready for Ashtyn and to be able to make sweet love to you all night long." She says. "Don't worry babe. Everything will work out." I tell her and kiss her cheek when we reach a red light. "Let's hope so. I mean I feel great. So, she should clear me, right?" She asks. "Right." I say and give her hand a squeeze. A few minutes later we get to the hospital and head to Dr. Ramsey's office is and check in. A couple minutes after that Ash is called back. We stand up and follow the nurse back into one of the exam rooms. The nurse takes Ash's vitals and what not before the doctor comes in a minute later. "Good afternoon Major." Ramsey says walking into the room. "Afternoon." Ash says then the doctor turns to me. "Good afternoon Ali. I hope you were able to keep the Major under control these past couple months." She says. "Don't worry she's been good." I say.

"Glad to hear." The doctor sits on a stool and checks Ash's chart. "Well Major I'm happy to say that after looking at your scans that you had done last week. Everything looks good and you are clear to resume all activities." She says with a smile on her face. "No more desk duty at work?" Ash asks. "No ma'am." Ramsey says. Ash pumps her fist up in celebration. "One more question does this mean I can have sex again?" She asks. The doctor chuckles. "Yes it does." My face turns red. "Really Ashlyn? Did you really have to ask that?" I ask. "What? I was just making sure." She says. "On that note... I think my work here is done. Stop by the front desk to get your note for work and I'll see you another time Major." The doctor says and shakes Ash's hand. The doctor walks over to me and shakes my hand. "You have quite the handful Ali." She chuckles. "Don't I know it. I say I have three kids, but i really have four." I say. "Well good luck with everything and I'll see you around." Ramsey says. "You too." She nods before leaving the room. We leave the hospital after Ash gets the papers that she needs to go back to work, and we head to the car. "So does this mean tonight I can take you out to dinner and go to a hotel so, we can make love all night long?" Ash asks.

"We'll see." I say pulling out of the parking lot. "Yay!" Ash does a little happy dance in her seat. "I can't with you somtimes." I chuckle. When we get Ash jumps out of the car and runs inside before I can even shut my door.
When I walk in the house Ryker is covered in suds. "What happened here?" I ask walking into kitchen seeing suds all over the place in here too. "I was doing dishes and Ryker decided he wanted to help so, I set him on the counter then he started playing in the bubbles." Holland says. "Did you get it on video?" I ask. "Already sent it." She says. "Ashlyn!" I call out. She comes walking into the kitchen with Ryker on her hip. "Yeah?" She asks. "Can you clean this up while Holland helps me get ready for a date tonight?" I ask and both Ashlyn's and Holland's face lights up. "Sure." She says. "Thank you." I tell her. "When am I supposed to get ready for tonight?" Ash asks. "When you have this cleaned up. Also can you make a reservation at that one steak house we like and can you book a hotel room for tonight?" I ask. "Already done. I kinda did it last night just incase everything did go as planned today and obviously they did so, we are all set. Also, Houston and Mal are going to watch the kids tonight." She says. "You are something else Ashlyn Harris." I tell her and kiss her deeply.
