Chapter 32

She woke up to find Linc still asleep, worry etched on his face. Tracing her fingers over the worry lines on his forehead she felt and saw him relax as a small smile appeared making her stop her actions.
"Don't. Stop," he said in a sleepy voice his eyes still closed as his free hand moved lazily over her body finding her hand bring it back up to his face.
"Good morning," she said softly as he kissed the inside of her palm before resting her hand on his chest.
"Good morning love," he said opening his eyes. "Did you rest well?" He asked as she nodded her head yes. "How is our little one," he asked.
"Well currently sleeping," she smiled making him chuckle.

"Well you need to wake up little one, so mommy can later rest properly without you acting up in there," he said before kissing her belly moving up to her lips.
"Gosh what would I ever do if I couldn't wake up to your stinking morning breath," he murmured seriously seeing her look of bewilderment as she playfully slapped him making him burst into laughter.
"Let's see whose lips you will be kissing," she said turning away from him her eyes filling with tears.

"I..I was just joking love. I have a stinky mouth too," he said panicking, making her laugh.
"Those are the most truthful words you have said thus far," she said laughing some more at his expression.
"Well you love me anyway right," he said as he leaned closer to her.
"Well I really don't have a choice do I?" She said as he gave her a questioning look making her laugh. "I love you Linc," she whispered.
"So if I was to kiss you with all my 'stinkiness' you wouldn't object right?"
"Oh no you don't," she said moving her face away from his.
"You know you love my kisses love, don't fight it," he said before laughing at her defeated expression.

"Come on let's freshen up and then onwards to deal with Enrique. Marco made a run for it but Cas has got it covered," he said casually.

After showering he walked towards her. She was sitting by the sink looking at the running tap water such that she didn't even feel his presence as he stood before her.
Grabbing a small bench he placed it in the tub before taking her there.

"Linc what are you doing?" She asked as he unwrapped her bandages replacing them with waterproof ones before he flexed them carefully just as the physical therapist had showed him to make sure her muscles did not become stiff.
Looking at her he found her gaze on him completely lost in what he was doing before he knelt between her legs.
"Well, I just wanted to show you...," he whispered into her ear as she closed her eyes letting out the breath she had been holding as his lips brushed her cheek. "That I can..," he murmured against her lips as she parted hers before she felt nothing. "Be your..." He breathed looking at her as her eyes remained closed waiting, in anticipation.
"Are you still with me love?" He inquired against her lips as he slowly undid her shirt whilst she was oblivious of his actions as he slowly kissed her.
"Be my..." She sighed in response.

"Hmmm. I could do this all day," he murmured making her blush as he took her lips once more. "Just you and me, no interruptions. So much fun, right love?" He mumbled between kissing and undressing her. "Tell me love what would you like us to do today?" He asked her.
"Less talking Lincoln more of this," she said claiming his lips as he smiled glad his plan was working.

She became tense as soon as the light spray of water touched her body only relaxing when Linc took her arms wrapping them around his neck whispering, "I can be your medicine," as he tasted her salty tears upon their lips.
"Don't let them win. You my wife are much stronger than you think. This is just a small hurdle we need to jump over," he said as he felt her relax some more letting him slowly pour water over her head all the while keeping eye contact as she played with his locks.
Through simple distractions he would help her face her fears.
