Makayla's P.O.V
Later that night Damian brings up a bowl of veggie, potato, and steak soup for me to try and eat. He rests me up against the headboard and feeds me little pieces and sips of soup slowly. I take in every little moment, he's never been like this. I know he blames himself but he really shouldn't.
"I love you" I whisper in between bites of soup
He smiles "I love you" I smile and lean forward to try and kiss him but he lightly pushes me back "Don't over do yourself. You have to be careful, one of the bullets punctured your right lung but Callie has done her best and it's working without a lot of movement" He says and I pout
"But I want a kiss" I whine and he leans forward and gently places his lips over top of mine and our lips move in sync in a slow passionate kiss. When he pulls back I grin, mission accomplished
"I swear Makayla, I will try to keep you the happiest girl in the world. I'm gonna make mistakes sometimes but I'll never hurt you again" I'm at a loss for words, I don't know why he's being so sweet
**************
The next morning I wake up with a hand laying across my stomach, I turn my head to see Damian laid beside me fast asleep. I get to try to walk today and do stuff on my own and I can't wait. If I am able to do so, Callie will take the catheter out.
I lift my hand and place it over top of Damian's and trace patterns over his fingers. He stirs and I stop so that I don't wake him. When I woke up yesterday I could tell he hadn't been sleeping enough. He has severe bags under his eyes and they don't have the normal brightness to them like they usually did. He had lost weight too but I can't help that just yet
The door opens and Lily walks in and realizes I'm awake "Sissy!!" She screams and runs towards the bed. I go to shush her but Damian is already hide awake and on his feet looking around the room trying to find the source of screams
She scrambles on the bed and jumps on me to give me a hug. I groan from the pain of the impact but wrap my arms around her to return the hug. I wanted to see her last night after everything was said and done but she had already been put to bed by Lucy, who came to see me afterwards
"Uncle Damian was sleeping babygirl" I whisper and she lifts her head to see the sleepy man climbing back into the bed
"I'm sorry" She says quietly but he just waves it off and looks at me with concern
"Did she hurt you?" He refers to her jumping onto me
"I'm fine" I assure him "Go back to sleep, you need it badly" He goes to protest "Where did my handsome king go over the last week?"
He flips me off and buries his head into his pillow. Not even five minutes later I hear his light snores
"Why did you sleep so long Kay-Kay?" She asks quietly
"I was hurt. When you get hurt too bad you can sleep for a little bit to let your body heal" I say and she gets off of me and starts bouncing around
"So if you're better you can play with me" She says too loudly and covers her mouth as Damian groans
"I'm not completely better honey. I knew I had to wake up to help Uncle Damian with you and Dj" I say and suddenly look around the room but don't see the little bundle of joy anywhere
The door opens and Lucy walks in with him in her arms "Damian brought him to me after you fell asleep so he wouldn't wake you up but he won't stop fussing. Maybe he just wants him mommy" She says and I sit up and take him into my arms and he stops crying almost immediately "Well I'll be damned. He must have known you were awake"
"Thank you for watching him Lucy. Thank you for helping while I was out. I'm sure Damian couldn't have done it without help" We laugh and he reaches over and smacks my thigh
"I heard that" He mumbles and turns over to look at all of us "I'm trying to get some beauty sleep since my queen ever so sweetly pointed out I looked like shit this morning" He glares at me
"You'll live" Lucy says and looks at me "We need to get you on those legs" She takes Dj and hands him to Damian before smacking both of her hands onto my thighs "Lets see you do it"
I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and scoot until my feet are placed onto the cold hard wooden floors. Lucy takes my hand and I push myself to stand up. It almost feels too easy but once I'm standing I feel dizzy and Lucy has to grab me and steady me "Are you okay?" It subsides and I stand straight and nod
"I'm fine" I say and let go of her and start walking. It feels funny at first but then it feels as if nothing is wrong "I feel fine, get Callie to get this damn catheter out" We all laugh
