Turn Up The Heat

Chapter 43 - Riley

What is going on? I open my eyes to see that I am laying down in a bed and see Blake holding my hand with his eyes close. What the hell happened? Then I remember Angela happened that's what. My blood starts to boil and the monitors go off. Blake's head snaps up and runs his hand down my cheek, I lean into his touch and feel myself slowly calming down.

"Calm down love. It's not good for you or the babies." I look at him and reach up and wipe under his eyes. I can see that he was recently crying and damn it that makes me feel bad for worrying him like that.

"I'm sorry, Blake. I didn't mean to worry you." he kisses the inside of my wrist and then sits down on the bed rubbing my pregnant belly. " I'll always worry about you and our peanut gallery." He says as he kisses my lips then my belly. 

Just then Doctor Adams walks in. "How's our patient doing? I heard all the details, you shouldn't get your self so worked up Riley. It's not healthy for you or the babies."

"We'll come back if you are staying otherwise call us when you get home." Sam says as she kisses my head and then Lendze does the same, and they leave.

I told Doctor Adams everything that happened and see the disapproving look on her face. " Well I will be going to the Board about this and you need to make a complaint as well. This way this can never happen to another patient she has treated."

"She is just obsessed with Blake because he saved her life. But I will definitely being doing that as well as a restraining order for us."

"That's good well let's check on your babies and see how they are doing." She grabs the monitor as I lay back down and when she look at the screen she looks at me then back at it again. " Heart beats sound good but there is a little surprise for you."

"What's that?" Blake grabs my hand as we both look at the screen as she moves out of the way. I gasp when I see the image in front of us. "Is that?"

She nods her head and smiles. "It looks like this little one was hiding. Congratulations you are having triplets."

I look to Blake and he looks like a deer caught in headlights. " Triplets Wow!"

"Everything looks good Riley, so you can go home and lots of rest. If you feel any more pain you call me right away."

"Thank you, I will." 

She heads out and I look at Blake that is now staring at the blank screen. "Blake are you okay?" He shakes his head and then turns to me and smiles, and kisses me soundly. If I wasn't in this bed my knees would be weak from just how passionate he kisses me.

"I'm nervous, but fucking ecstatic!"

I giggle as he helps me up and pulls me into a hug. "I'm going to take that desk job Wildfire. I'm not going to do anything to leave you and our children without me."

I throw my arms around him again and internally I am grateful, but I know how much this job means to him. " Are you sure? I don't want you doing this if you don't absolutely want to. The last thing I want you to regret anything and then hate me for it."

We start walking out of the hospital as Blake pulls me closer to him. "I would never hate you or regret what my decision is. I actually want to start investigating the fires instead. To see what causes them and maybe try to figure out why someone is causing them."

As we get in the car and start our way home. I can't help but smile at my husband and grateful that he might have found a different passion within what he loves to do." We should have a cookout this weekend and tell everyone the good news."

"Okay but we need to go get that restraining order first before we go home. Blake turns around and we head to the station and file a complaint. After we were finish with that we let everyone know what was going on and about the cookout this weekend. As much as I was happy at this moment, I had this nagging feeling that something bad was going to happen and happen soon. I tried to shake the feeling off but it always sat in the back of my mind.
