Save My Sparkle (Completed)

57. Technically Misbehaved

Vitals checked. In the hosptial gown once more, I am sitting on the bed while Dr. Moore goes through the process once more on what to expect or we hope to expect along with the negatives we may face as it is part of the normal doctor thing to do.

I sign the papers and Dr. Moore places some medicine in the IV to help get my body in the process of the transplant. All in good hope my body doesn't reject it since I am older now I have to take a bit more prep beforehand and then immediately after but once again helps that it is my Dad being my donor. At least these medications don't make me exhausted feeling.

"Come here Angel." I pat the bed next to me and Natalie sits next to me a moment later.

I wrap my arm around her and she looks to make sure the IV line isn't being pulled before she snuggles in close to my side.

"This is still a little weird." Natalie shivers some eyeing my access port and I nod.

"You should eat something." I tell her after looking at the clock to tell that more time has passed than I thought since it is now later morning hours.

"I am good." She shrugs.

"You have to eat for our little boy." I look at her and she nods.

"And I have." She smiles.

"What did you have since we have been here and you hadn't left the room?" I raise an eyebrow.

"A breakfast granola bar that I grabbed from the house." She smirks and I shake my head.

"That isn't enough."

"I know but I did at least have something because I didn't want to leave you while everyone was in here and going over things." She sighs and I nod in understanding. "Besides since you can't eat the nurse did bring in a couple biscuits for me, she remembered my favorites."

I chuckle and smile. "The nurses are amazing here and very attentive."

"Do you want me to step out to eat them?"

"No. Why?" I pull back a little at the random question she asked.

"Because it isn't fair to eat in front of you without you being to busy to notice. You know since you can't eat and all until tomorrow morning after the transplant. Because I certainly don't count jello as actually eating." She rolls her eyes and I love her sass that she has been showing more and more the further she has gotten in pregnancy but it is always over the smallest thing too. Has been making it hard not to laugh at the wrong times from her sass.

"That doesn't bother me one bit. Besides to many nerves to actually eat with everything going on." I shrug.

Not that I would tell her but honestly I could eat a biscuit. If I was honest with her then she wouldn't eat, I wouldn't be able to get her to, so to me the smallest lie is worth it if it means her and our unborn son is healthy. Besides the jello will help to soothe the small appetite. 

Time passes by quickly for the best. Mama and Dad do come in an hour before he is to be going under the donation process.

"Are you ready little man?" Mama hugs me and I nod.

"Beyond ready, this has been much longer than when a child."

"That is the best part of being a child since children are more resilent to things and bounce back much faster." Mama nods.

"How are you feeling?" I look over to Dad who is standing next to Natalie by the couch.

Dad walks over and hugs me tight. "I am ready. Nothing will stop me from helping my son. You shouldn't worry about me though Buddy because there is more than enough for you to think about."

"Now where is the fairness in that you worry about me but I am not able to worry about you?" I frown having never understood Dads logic.

"You will understand once your little one is born." Dad smirks.

"If you need anything let me know." Natalie step up and tells Dad.

Dad shakes his head. "Nah, you just stay here and keep this one behaving for me. Besides I done seen Dr. Moore that is how I got to come in and I will be able to come in tonight and see Nicolas too before he goes in the morning."

"Yes but you sir will be using the wheelchair. No tough man act this time." Mama smirks at Dad.

"As long as I can race the wheelchair I am good." Dad laughs and I join him.

Mama shakes her head. "Yeah tough guy lets see what you say once you wake up this time."

Natalie looks back and forth with amusement in her eyes as she smiles wide. I hear Mama talk about going to get prepped in the operating room since Dr. Moore is letting her assist once again like he done all those years ago before, which makes Dad relax.

"Wait a minute." I stop them as it hits me. "What is this about Natalie making sure I behave? I am always good."

Natalie smirks and her eyes gleam with micheif. "Are you sure about that now Nicolas?"

"Uh oh, well I got a couple minutes before I am needed." Mama giggles and rubs her hands as Dad wraps her in a hug trying not to laugh at us.

"Yeah I am good." I smile at Natalie.

"Okay says the man and patient that has more than one offense against him in my books for being stubborn." Natalie huffs.

"Offenses on what?" I ask guienely curious.

"First, you got out of bed without any help and then got stuck in the bathroom door about to fall. Second, you got huffy and didn't want the pain medication that one day so shut off the IV drip on your own. Third, you will whine if there is nothing on the television when I took your writing tools away. Fourth, you nagged and begged for a chocolate bar when you weren't allowed to have any due to not eating your main food after your third chemo round right after it got started. Fifth..."

"Alright I get it." I roll my eyes as Natalie 'ha's' me at all the times I had been a bit stubborn.

Try sitting here bored though with nothing to watch and they refuse to give my writing things to me because I was told by the doctor to rest and I wasn't due to writing getting me excited causing my heart beat to get to high. Then I had enough of feeling out of it from the pain medicine they gave me the first week after being diagnosed.

"See I win." Natalie smiles then leans over to kiss me. "I understand every thing you done but still you technically misbehaved." She giggles.

We watch Mama and Dad leave out of the room within a few minutes later. I had ask Mama to at least let me know how Dad does once everything is done and she promised she would. Dad waved off everything and kept saying he will be fine since he knows what to look forward too this time since already being through it before but it still is something I don't like.

With a deep breath, I relax against the bed and Natalie joins me as we have the television on. Not that it is being watched as our minds are to full with everything going on in our lives.
