***Rose's POV***
I grasped the edges of my bed. It was exactly 2 AM and I was surrounded by my family. I glanced around. Chance was lying on the floor beside me, Livia was rolled up on a small cot, Layne was rested on Livia's boob and his fist was clenched up at his nose. Cade was sprawled out on a chair, his jacket was tightly wrapped around him, substituting as a blanket.
Kim and Kameron came in and checked on all of us, Kim's main attention was in me though. My sister came in, with her boyfriend Ace and my mom phoned. Nothing from my dad and step-dad, which I was glad.
A cold duvet was laid on my body. I knew for sure tomorrow, Chance was taking me home and arresting me under bed rest. He'd probably pack me everywhere, spoon-feed me, bathe me, dress me, you name it. Hopefully he'll lay off.
I sighed and sat up. I scanned the whole room before I quietly slid off the bed. "Where are you going?"
I twisted my neck to find myself staring at Chance.
"I... I...mm going out." I sputtered.
Chance grabbed my body and pulled me in for a hug. "Can't sleep?"
"N-No." I admitted shyly. Chance eyed me strangely before adding, "Nervous?"
I shook my head and then nuzzled my face in Chance's chest.
He combed my hair softly with his fingers and we stood there for about ten minutes.
"Can you come lie down with me?" I whispered fiercely. He nodded at me and we skidded to the small bed. I watched him cuddle under the duvet. As soon as he was settled, I scooted on his chest and fell asleep.
"Rosie? Wake up, I finally signed your release forms."
"But... I thought I.. was staying for a few days?" I frowned.
He shook his head and helped me off. "Come on, let's get you dressed." He started to lead me towards the bathroom before I sassed. "I can dress myself."
Chance didn't take no for an answer though. He pulled me into the room, looking the door. He pulled off the hospital gown and began dressing me up. When I left the hospital, I was wearing one of my favourite red tops with sweats.
I was carried to the car, babied all the way home and as soon as we got there I was packed inside, no questions asked.
"How are you feeling?" He whispered into my ear mistily. I moaned in reply. All I wanted to do was sleep and eat soup.
"Happy birthday." Chance muttered and handed me a teddy bear holding a red heart. On the heart it read, 'I love you Rosie.' I clutched it to my chest and smiled at him happily.
"It's a few days late? But that's only because we were crazy busy."
I shrugged. It didn't seem to bother me. "Are you hungry?" Livia asked as she entered the living room cheerily.
"Whatever." I sighed and pulled the blanket up to my neck. I shifted onto my side and got comfortable on the crappy pillow.
I closed my eyes tightly and licked my lips. I was still holding onto the bear for dear life as if it was a part of me.
The whole room was silent for a moment until Cade and Layne came into the room. Of course, Layne was crying. "What's his issue?" Livia whined and looked over her shoulder.
"He's obviously hungry." Cade snapped back and tried to offer the baby to Livia but she pushed him away. "I fed him 10 minutes ago, you even watched. If he's hungry preheat a bottle in the freezer. I'm not undressing to feed him again."
"You have to take off you bra, that's all." Cade pointed out.
"And that's a lot of work, seeing as you have to--"
"It's not."
"You're not a girl!"
"Well I sure know how to put on a bra if that's what you're asking."
"Shut up!" I screamed over top of them, shutting them up.
"Just preheat the bottle, and leave me alone."
Cade scoffed and walked away with the baby in his arms, crying up a storm.
Chance kissed my cheek soft and slowly as he peered over my body. "Do you want to go lie in the room? It's quieter there."
I looked up at him and shrugged. "I guess, if that's what you want."
"I'm just concerned about you, that's all."
"I don't have to be pampered." I hissed back. Chance rolled his eyes at me and picked me up. He started up the stairs and whispered into my ear, "You were pampered as soon as you came here. As soon as I married you and as soon as your stepfather pushed you out of his house."
I blinked in confusion. He just keep going up the stairs until he reached the bedroom.
Was I actually a spoiled brat here and not know it? But how is that? I was polite.. was I?
