Prehistoric Love (Jurassic World Fanfiction ⇝ 1st Book)

Chapter 76

After our meal, I made Owen take a shower, so we could get early to bed. He barely slept these last two days, because he was watching over me, all the time.

In the meantime I covered myself up in the sheets, and watched tv, just waiting for him to return.

I took a quick look at my phone. 4 missed calls and text messages.
Barry, Claire and Karen had tried calling me.

I quickly looked through the texts.

I read the one from Barry first.
"I'm in Florida now, on my way to my uncles place.
How are you?"

I quickly replied;
"Did you have a nice trip?
We're at a hotel in Madison and it's snowing. :-(
I'm fine, but I'm not so sure about Owen. He haven't got any sleep yet."

"He'll be fine. Call me, if you need anything." He quickly responded, just as Owen walked into the room.

Owen crawled into bed and wrapped his arms around my body, as I read the next text from Claire.

"I just got some good news on Simon. His condition is stable and the doctors think he'll recover well."

"That's good news." Owen said after he read the text. "Yeah." I sighed relieved.

I continued to the next text. It was from Karen.

"Are you settled in? Are you sure, you wouldn't rather stay with us?
I hope you're good.
The boys talks a lot about you. :-)"

Owen chuckled from her text.

The last text was from Zach.

"Gray wanted me to, text you and check on you. How are you?"

"aww. That's sweet." I chuckled.

"We're good. I'm feeling really good, so the baby's fine.
Get some sleep. We'll see you in two days." I quickly replied before I turned around and faced Owen.

I just watched his beautiful features while I slowly ran my fingers through his hair.

"I love you." I whispered before I leaned in and kissed him.

We just stayed like that, without saying anything, just gazing at each other.

"What about Florida?" I suddenly said.

"What about Florida?" Owen asked questioningly.

"Live there. Somewhere near the water." I answered.

Owen's tired and confused expression, quickly turned into a smile.

"I'd like that." He said smiling before he kissed me.

"You ever miss the Navy?" I asked, quietly, a bit insecure.

Owen thought for a moment.

"I miss the sea and the people. You grow together like a family, you know?" Owen explained.

I nodded slowly in understanding.

"Would you go back, if you had the chance?" I asked, also a bit insecure this time.

"No." He answered right away.

"I wouldn't leave you." He said smiling softly.

I chuckled in relief.

Owen smiled before his eyes closed and he drifted off to sleep.
