Recovery Is Really Hard ( Chapter Fifteen)

Getting The Rest That She Needs!

Saturday November 17 th 2024

** Carina and Maya get home from their very much needed date ... at 1h 03 in the morning.. they were both asleep cuddling with their two years old boys, five years old daughter.. and Charlotte and Niccolas were asleep in their little bassinets two feet away from Their parents.. .. Carina had lots of fun with her gorgeous wife on their dinner date.. but she knew she was standing up for too long... after they ate dinner they went to see the city lights in the same street as the restaurant was ... they had all kinds of different coloured lights in the whole city... but Carina started feeling crazy cramps .. right where her tummy tuck scar is located... This time she couldn't keep the pain from Maya ! She was crumpled up in the foetus position facing the door while Maya was facing Carina's back... she started slowly rubbing her wife's back... **

01h11 am

Mhrmmm keep going please..
Maya : you are extremely sore huh?

Carina: yessss !
Maya : damn it , we shouldn't have walked around the city lights in the neighborhood after our dinner date...

**Carina turned around and nodded **

Noooo ... it was a good idea.... Babe , I had a good time with you yesterday.... Thank you for taking me out on that date ..
Maya : okayyyy but now you're not feeling well so I feel really bad for even suggesting that we walked around to see the beautiful lights everywhere in the streets..

Carina: keep going Bambina... it really helps with the pain.... And I don't want you to feel guilty about that idea... I overestimate how much I was
" healed" ... now I know that I'm not healed whatsoever.. so unfortunately for me I will put myself back on bed rest for the next few months otherwise I will never recover from my surgery... and if we want to make Chloe's birthday celebration a hit ... and have a road trip to the fifty states I have to be better at walking around with barely any pain.. so starting now I'm only allowing myself to walk to the bathroom, and to the kitchen and to the couch and do it all over again... in the spans of an hour each... and rest the rest of the day..
Maya : okay ! Perfect!
Carina: yea and I will do as much housework as I can...

Maya : no ... you won't.... You're going to be on bed rest for the next three weeks and that's it... that's all you're going to do... I'm serious babe.

Carina: okay !

** she was upset about that... because she's not usually the type of person to be laying down and watching everyone else do housework IN THEIR HOUSE! But this time she is going to do just those three spaces in the house, kitchen, bathroom and living room!! **

Carina: We should go back to sleep now my love... I love you so much and I always will... okay , I will be fine..
Maya : okay but I wish I could take the pain away from you... I really hate seeing you in horrible pain when I can't do anything to help you....

Carina: hemmmmm ! Ouhhhhfffff ! Ahhhh !
They are WORSE THAN LABOUR CONTRACTIONS ! And we know i had EXTREMELY HORRIBLE ONES WITH ALL OF OUR BEAUTIFUL BABIES..

Maya : okay , but if you are in this much pain by tomorrow morning I'm calling Doctor Hawn and asking him to come here and have you checked out...

Carina: okay .. I love you so much my Bambina !
Maya : I love you too...
Carina and Maya: to the moon and back, forever and always!

** Several hours later everyone was up and told their moms about what they did with Leah the new babysitter... the kids noticed that Carina was in bad shape but they didn't want to talk about it because if she didn't bring it up.. that means she had everything under control... grandma and grandpa bishop helped Carina and Maya with making breakfast for the whole family... Niccolas was really cuddly and wouldn't leave Carina's side... she was up and breastfeeding him... and Maya was holding a sleeping little Charlotte with her right arm up on the air... in her arms as she's helping the two young boys finish eating their breakfast **
