Tie Me Round

Chapter:17

"It's completely fractured. We're going to have to do surgery right away on it." The doctor said. I looked at Shane. He looked nervous. "Ok get changed and a nurse will be here in a little bit." He said before walking out of the room.

I changed into the hospital gown and Shane tied the back for me. "I hope the next time your wearing one of these your delivering our baby." He said finishing a tie. He kissed my cheek as there was a knock at the door.

"I hope this helps baby girl." He told me. A nurse came in and helped me onto a bed. I had an iv needle placed in my arm and was wheeled to surgery.

Shane's POV
I folded her clothes and took them with me to the truck. I put them in a bag and changed the shirt to one of mine. I took the bag in and started playing on my phone. She wouldn't be able to come home until tomorrow afternoon. I'm definitely going to wait on her.

They said it would be about two hours and an hour has already passed. I went and ate in the cafeteria then went back to the waiting room. Her dad called me asking why she wouldn't pick up. "Sir she's having surgery on her ankle right now. She fell as she was going up the porch steps and it started hurting. I took her to the ER and they quickly got an X-Ray of it." I told him. "We'll be there in a little bit."

I sat there in the chair waiting for anything about her condition. Her parents and brother came in and sat near me. Her mom glared at me so I kept my attention to Grace and our relationship.

I scrolled through my phone reading our texts and going through the photos we took together. There were so many of her it kept me occupied. "Shane." I stood up and went over to the nurse.

"She's stable and the surgery was a success. If she's going to rodeo next year she's going to have to let her ankle heal until at least February. No running or jogging. No major activities until the end of January." She told me. I nodded. "When will she get to go home?" I asked.

"In about an hour." She told me I nodded and went over to her family. I sat down next to her brother and told them what the nurse told me. Her mother continued to glare at me.

I went to my truck and got her a pair of my sweats. Her dad and brother went with me to see her and get her changed. They let me enter first then they followed. "Hey baby girl. How are you feeling?" I asked walking over to the bed.

Grace's POV
"Good. Hopefully I can rope without trouble this coming year." I told him. He sat down near me. My dad and brother were at the foot of the bed. "I brought you some comfy clothes." He told me pulling out a pair of sweats and a tee.

I sat up on the bed and watched as he set the clothes on the bed. "I'll let you get dressed and then you can go home." Dad gave a small smile and Cole did the same. They stepped out and Shane helped me get the gown off.

I put the shirt on then the sweats. The cast on my ankle made it hard to put a sock over. I socked my left foot and sat on the edge of the bed. "I'll carry you baby." He gave me a piggyback ride out after I signed my release form. He only had a bag of clothes he carried in his hand.

He carried me out to the truck and set me in. "Do you plan on carrying her the entire time she's in that cast?" Mom asked him. "Ginger let it go. He's just carrying her to the truck." Dad told mom.

She scowled then walked off. Shane got in and sat there. I scooted closer to him and leaned my head on his shoulder. "Why does she hate me?" He asked me. I sat on his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"She wanted me to have an arranged marriage because all the guys I hang out with were so called 'wild.'" I told him. "But I don't think your as wild as she thinks you are.

"Your perfect for me, your the one that knows how to keep me calm and that loves me. Usually it takes all three of my buddies to get me under control. It only takes you to get me under control. Besides you never gave up on me." I added.

I kissed him as he wrapped his arms around my waist. Man, I love my man. I scooted over and let him drive to my house.

Once we got there he parked and took me into the house. Dad and Cole came in then mom. "Oh Shane could you add my buckle to my collection for me?"

"Anything for you." He said sitting me in a kitchen chair. Cole put a pillow on another so I could prop my foot up. "How do you want it?" Shane asked. "Next to my 2014 on the right." "In between the 2015 and 14'?" He asked. "Yeah." He placed it and stood back.

"Nice buckle baby." Shane told me. "I knew my daughter could rope like a pro." Dad told me. "Oh Grace guess what I've started doing." Cole said. "What?"

"I've started riding bulls and broncs." He told me. "Yay! Now I'm not the only rodeoer in the family!" I almost shouted. Shane stood by the stove cooking something.

"Hungry sugar?" He asked me. "Considering I haven't had supper what do you think." "Always grumpy when hungry is a definite yes." He said turning the burner off.
