Chap 33:

Amaya pov:

The beeping of the machine and the huge urge to pee made me come back from the dead.

My eyes blink open, and I rub them, going to sit up but hiss when my body hurts.

Getting beat up by a man, I'm rating that -1/10 on my bucket list and be sure to avoid it.

A small body curled next to mine, makes me become aware of my surroundings and I let out a soft smile.

Luke curls up next to me and I run my fingers through his soft curls making me feel better.

"Amaya...mama....you're awake!" Luke peers up at me and smiles brightly.

"Easy now, Luke," a deep, tired voice says from  next to me and I turn to see Dexter, sitting in a chair.

"Shes awake!!" Luke hugs me and I smile and try to sit up again but wince and hold my side.

"Take it easy, Amaya," Dex picks up Luke and puts him down before raising the bed and cupping my face.

"Amaya-" I shake my head, groaning and hold onto his arms. He looks guilty and his eyes swell with tears but fights it and puts on a brave face.

"Dex, I really need to pee,"

He blinks confused before realising and calls the nurse.

"Here hold onto me," he gently guides my body to lean on his.

Him and the nurse leads me to the bathroom.

"Are you sure you don't need me inside?" He asks as I shake my head.

"The nurse is here, she'll help me,"

He nods and waits outside while the nurse waits until I finish and helps me stand up again as I wash my hands and come out.

Dexter comes up to me and gently holds me like I'm fragile, while Luke grabs onto the end of my dressing ground as I walk back.

"Your husband and son are so sweet to you," the nurse smiles as I flush and Dexters ears go red.

"Mama is hurt and dada told me to be gentle," Luke chirped to the nurse and she gave him a sweet.

"You're such good boys taking care of her,"

Luke smiles proudly but when I glance at Dexter, his fist was clenched and then I started to notice.

He had cuts along his knuckles and a bruise across his face. His grey eyes had become worn and tired but when he caught my eye he gave me a smile.

We head back to the room and I sit down on the bed again, Luke insisting on sitting next to me.

"Excuse me, I don't want to intrude but the doctor will check up on you and they'll discharge you after," the nurse says and then leaves the room.

"Dexter...what happened to you..?" I peer at him, concern swirling around in me.

"Later, I promise," he shoots me a weak smile and steps back once the doctor comes in.

The doctor ends up discharging me and Dexter takes us back to his place in an Uber. Although, he's being eerily quiet and doesn't say a word the rest of the way unlike Luke who's jumping up and down in his seat.

Once we end up at his place, he helps me sit down on the couch while he puts Luke to bed and then comes back to confront me.

"How are you feeling?" he sits besides me and analyses my body.
