Sawyer POV - one week later
I hear a groan and open my eyes.
I look over and see Momma and sigh.
"Momma?" I whisper.
"Hm? What's up, baby?" She asks.
I sigh, "Are you okay? Do I need to go get pops?"
She sighs and nods.
"Okay." I quickly get up and rush downstairs.
"Pops! Momma needs you!" I say quickly.
"Okay, I'm coming, baby." He says and stands up, pressing a kiss to my head as he quickly jogs up the stairs.
My phone buzzes and I see Makena calling.
"Hi babe." I yawn.
"Hey, did you just get up?"
"No, just been snoozing with momma. She's tired."
She sighs, "She's been through a lot. Are you sleeping? Eating? I can bring you some food."
I rub my forehead, "I'm just anxious. My body is probably not happy with me right now."
"Let me bring you lunch, yeah? Your favorite?" She asks.
I smile, "Yeah. Thanks babe."
"Just want to make sure that you're okay. How's your momma feeling?" She asks.
I sigh, "She's sleeping a lot. She's in pain, even though I think she's hiding it from me, Quinn, Charlie, and Noah."
I hear her sigh, "She wants to be strong for you guys."
I nod, "I know."
"Well, if she needs anything, I can help too. I'll be over in a bit with your lunch."
I smile and feel warm all over, "Thanks babe, I love you."
"I love you more!" She says and hangs up.
I smile and look up when I hear feet on the steps.
Pops gives me a smile, "She would like her cuddle buddy back."
I smile and head upstairs, walking into their room.
I crawl into bed and get as close as I can, "Momma?"
"Yeah, baby?"
"You don't have to hide that you're in pain from me." I sigh.
She looks at me, "Parents don't want to look weak in front of their kids, baby. That's just the way it is."
I nod, "I don't think you're weak, momma."
She gives me a tight lipped smile, "Thanks, baby."
I bob my head up and down, "Makena is bringing me lunch. She asked if you needed anything."
She smiles, "She's so sweet."
I nod, "I'm going to ask her to marry me."
Her eyes widen, "Really?"
I nod, "I just know that she's the one."
She nods, "She loves you for you."
"Yeah. So I need your help with finding a ring." I say and stare at her.
"That, I can help with."
"Cool."
She chuckles and groans, "Come here, baby."
I scoot and gently lean my head on her shoulder, "Love you, momma."
"Love you too, my baby." She whispers.
