Nikki's POV, June 28th 1995

It had been two weeks since Zarina had been born and I'll admit, I'd been very strict with what Y/N could and couldn't do. The doctors told me before she got released from hospital that she couldn't do anything physically strenuous for at least four weeks so she didn't break her stitches and I was making sure she didn't.

I'd forbidden her to see anyone unless they came here, I wouldn't let her cook, clean or do anything similar to that. I was probably taking it overboard but I didn't want her to injure herself.

She wasn't happy with this arrangement but it was just until she healed a little more, then she could do whatever she pleased when she wanted to do it.

I was getting ready to head out right now, there was a band meeting today and it was actually the band meeting Mick, Tommy and I had selected with Doug to tell John we were officially terminating him from the band.

Yes, after a year of trying to buck up the nerve to actually do it, today was the day. Y/N had known about it since we settled on the date which was only about ten days ago.

Vince wasn't aware this was happening and John obviously wasn't either, it wouldn't be publicly announced until later in the year because we needed to see if Vin will even agree to come back first and I had to have that conversation with him soon, but I wasn't sure when yet.

"How long do you hope to take for this then?" Y/N wonders from where she was in bed watching me.

"It shouldn't take longer than an hour, once I'm there but it depends if Doug wants to talk."

"Okay, just wondering... I'll be fine before you ask because I know you will."

"Me asking, that's not a bad thing... and you know the rules, you're staying here and you don't leave this room unless it's for the kids, do you understand?"

"Sir, yes, sir." Y/N grumbles with narrowed eyes.

"Don't look at me like that and don't you dare give me attitude, I'm trying to make sure you don't hurt yourself."

"You're treating me like I'm one of the kids and I'm not a kid, I don't need rules. I know you were told to keep me away from anything strenuous but I know what's strenuous and what isn't, can't I make some of those choices for myself instead of you making them for me?"

I'm being overbearing and I understand her frustration but I have my reasons "Look... I know I'm being a pain in the ass... but I hate leaving you alone when you're like this, you're capable of looking after yourself but for my peace of mind I need you to do as I say. Be pissed at me, I don't care... I just need to know you're going to be okay."

She looked at me and I saw even if she hated my reasoning she understood because she does know me better than anyone else and understands me in ways that nobody else ever has while my behaviour is probably extreme and controlling I didn't mean it to be that way, I just couldn't bare anything happening to her.

"I'll stay here, I promise... you better go before you're late."

I nodded, going over to her side and kissing her softly "I love you."
