Seduction (2016) (Romance)

Chapter 18: Wrong Move

How the hell did I end up like this?, Michael's thoughts had loomed as he lay on his bed, in pain but still alive

After returning from their Honeymoon in Ireland, Michael went back to work with applied extra hours and shifts in order to make more money for their home and their new bundle of joy of a son who would be taken care of by Brianna who elected to stay home and raise our child by her decision.

While he was a bit bummed by her decision as she had worked for many years as a Veterinarian, her dream career, and it has all come to an end in another year.

She was more than elated to care for their child, however, so those feelings of guilt were quickly extinguished.

But boy oh boy, had he screwed up massively on those extra hours of work he has set up for himself.

A knock was quickly heard on his door that jolted him away from those thoughts of the past, "Honey?", her sweet and angel-like voice had called out to him, "how are you feeling?"

"Ugh...I'm okay, just a little sore from what happened babe hehehe..", upon a nervous chuckle he ultimately responded to.

"You know, there were plenty of other guys around to help you know? You didn't have to lift the entire work table by yourself my love", she replied as she slid her way to her husbands side and held his hands on to hers, "You really scared me and EJ you know?"

"I'm...I'm really sorry babe I-"

"Daddy?", a small voice squeaked from the door that was somewhat open. From the voice was his child, holding a small Woody doll and with a tight grip, hugged his father, "Are you gonna be okay?"

"Yes son, don't worry...daddy had a little accident is all...how are you?"

"Worried. So Is Woody!"

A small chuckle relived some of his pain from his back, "Well you and Woody don't have to worry, I'll be up and chasing you two around the house by tomorrow"

"Promise?" EJ inquired, holding his little pinky out

"Promise", Michael responded with as much joy as he could possibly have.

"Okay EJ, you and Woody come with me. We're gonna go make Dinner..." She looked up in her husband's eyes "...Lasagna night"

EJ responded with an enthusiastic nod as they exited the room together. Lasagna, a loving wife and a caring son...... Who could ask for more?
