Time To Prepare

Waiting can be the hardest part of any process. So, while we wait we should do our best to keep our heads up and soldier on.

After, my release from the hospital I was brought straight home. Noah had set up the bedroom for me so I would be able to get around in the wheelchair. It was difficult because of the cast on my arm.

Noah stepped inside the bedroom with a glass of water and a cheesy smile on his face. I looked over at him and grinned when I saw what he was holding in his other hand.

"Love, are you trying to get me high?" I asked him sweetly and he smirked slightly. We both laughed when he handed me the glass of water and pills.

"No baby, I'm not trying to get you high. Although I do love it when you are, but I just don't want to see you in pain." He replied and sat down on the bed beside me. Gulping down the cool water I winced when I went to use my other arm. Pain shot through my arm.

"Shit! Sorry baby, I should have been paying more attention." He kissed my forehead and I sighed audibly. 

"No need to be sorry. It's the stupid cast. I can't wait to get this one off especially. At least then I will be able to use crutches." I hated having to be wheeled everywhere. Even going to the bathroom was a struggled. Someone always had to go with me.

"How are you feeling today. Apart from your arm and leg. Did you sleep okay? I know you were mumbling in your sleep all night." His voice displayed how worried he was.

"I'm still, well I'm in shock to be honest. It'll take a while for me to feel safe on my own again. But, to be honest I'm happy... Some things became clearer in the shed. Especially us," I said the last bit quietly.

Noah looked confused and I elaborated. "I thought I'd lost you and that broke me. It broke me so much and even though I begged for death, I realised that it wouldn't help fix me. I guess the best way to describe it is... I think the reason I was born was to be with you and even death can't fix that."

"You'll never lose me. I will always be here for you, I know I can't promise nothing bad will happen to me. But, I can promise I will never leave you willingly." Noah whispered and kissed me gently.

"I know." I replied and kissed him back.

A knock on the door made us smile and mom appeared around the corner. "How are you boys doing?" She was smiling and looked radiant. Pregnancy suited her.

"We're fine mom, just talking. You look nice today." Noah replied, sweetly.

"There better not have been a joke in there somewhere. Pregnant or not I will redden your backside young man." An evil smirk grew. "Or maybe, you would prefer Jesse to redden your backside. Would I be right?"

"Mom!" Noah exclaimed and I could see her smile.

"Noah, come on lighten up and have some fun with me." 

"Oh my God. Mom! You're killing me here. Stop, just stop." He was almost crying and he looked embarrassed.

I burst into a fit of giggled while Noah turned red, then purple followed by a bright shade of orange before hiding his face in the pillows on the bed.

"Does that answer your question, mom?" I asked her and she erupted into booming laughter while Noah did his best to make the bed open up and swallow him whole.
