"Good morning."

Michael bends over, planting a kiss on my lips. My heart beat escalates and the heart monitor beeps in agreement.

"Morning..." I whisper looking everywhere but at him because I could feel the warmth creeping into my cheeks.

He chuckled, those dark eyes remained on me drilling a hole into the side of my face.

" breakfast?" He offered, looking over at me when I finally turned to face him.

"Yes." I clasped my hands together with a smile.

"Okay." He struts to the edge of the bed and drags the rolling cart over with different varieties of food.

"Coffee!" I blurt out before he could start and He laughs, " okay..."

"Thank you." I mutter under my breath as he handed it over to me.
Loads of whip cream, delicious.

"Pick your choice  my love."

I scan the other things on hand. There's about four different sandwiches here.

"Um... I'll just do the steak, egg and cheese bagel please."

Breakfast was awesome. But I think I'm too full. Michael excused himself to answer a phone call after I literally had to kick him out to take it. He's being difficult and I can't say I warned you. I assured him a hundred times that I was fine yet he almost decided not to.
I waddle out of the bathroom to find him back and quietly seated on the couch with expression on his face that looked like he was deep in thought.

"Everything okay?"

I scan his face. The cuts from his fight with Jesse seems to be healing well and I don't even have to ask, I know he was a handful already. If they tried to help him first without taking care of me.

He sighed, opening up his arms inviting me to come over. " yes. Just work stuff."

I slowly walked over to him, he stands and takes my hand in his dragging me to the bed.

"Michael..."

He ignores me with a smile and picks me up, lowering me onto the soft mattress. When he told me this was a private suit I almost bit his head off. He's feeling bad enough already so I just let him be. Whenever the nurse came around to check on me, he would hover around until they left. And I couldn't help myself either, Dr. Johnson has caught me reading my own chart and says, "you can't do that missy. Let me do my job." Then we both break into laughter. I don't know what I would have done without him. He's an amazing doctor, I just hope I get to work with him soon.
