Together

Chapter 23

Ryan's POV

When I got back to the hospital Chloe had significantly changed her tune, having had time to sleep on it she seemed to have settled down although she still wasn't very appreciative of being made to stay here and I knew I'd probably take some backlash for it later but I know she doesn't mean it

My mom agreed to watch Toby until they let Chloe out of the hospital so I can stay with her, I don't want to leave her alone here, that's not fair to her

I don't know what happened but Toby had gone mute when I came back, I finally got him to explain everything to me, he was pretty nervous to talk about it and I'm not surprised when I heard why he wasn't in school

I was so pissed when I found out he'd been suspended but he seemed so shaken up but what had happened that I didn't have the heart to yell at him too much, I told him off and grounded him for two weeks but then told him we'd say no more about it, I think this may have finally gotten through to him

Almost 2 days later they finally let Chloe go home and she was wasting no time with that, I came in to get her once all the release forms were sorted out and she was straight or the doors leaving my chuckling at how cute she was while she went out to the car as fast as she could

She finally stops when she gets to the car and I know I have to talk to her now while I have the chance

"Chlo baby, can we talk quickly?" I ask slightly nervously, knowing she wasn't gonna like what I was about to say

"Can it wait till we get home?" She asked me, clearly eager to get home, I had to hold back a smile seeing her this excited just to go home home was quite funny, I know it shouldn't have been but she's so cute when she gets all crazy like this

"Chlo I want you to promise me you'll do what the doctors told you to do and stick to bedrest, only light stuff until after the baby's born" I ask her gently, the look in her eyes told me here was a storm brewing

"I'm not a little kid Ry, I don't need to be babied" she defended herself, not that she needed to

"I know baby, but please, for my peace of mind and for our baby, just promise me you'll take it easy?" I ask hopefully

"You want me to stop working?" She questions and I nod nervously

"Ry, I can't just do nothing" she explains to me

"Please, I don't know what I'll do if I get another call saying you're in the hospital or if I have to take you there myself" I explain to her, hoping she'll see reason

She sighs and nods

"Okay, I won't work, but I'm not spending the next 3 months in bed" she tells me rather forcefully

"Of course not, I would never expect you to do that" I promise her and she smiles although it seems pretty forced

"I'm sorry" she whispers but I just shake my head

"Don't be sorry" I reply

She leans in and we kiss gently before we finally make our way home

When we get there she sits down for a while, Toby meanwhile was hiding away in his room

I went to do some chores and Toby finally emerged about half an hour later

We were about to go and sit down when we came in to find Chloe getting out the vacuum

I sighed, she's a sneaky little minx that one, of course I fell for her, she's got such a spark

"I've got it, you get her" Toby whispers to me while Chloe still had her back turned, apparently unaware we're in the room

I nod in response and we quickly sneak up on her, Toby grabs away the vacuum as I pick her up bridal style, much to her displeasure

I carried her upstairs, something she also didn't appreciate and took her into the bedroom and sat her down on the bed

"Rest" I told with a smirk, god she's got such spunk

"I don't wanna!" She replied like a little kid

"Come on, please just take a nap for me" I basically beg her

"Only if you sit with me for a while" she bargains, I chuckle and nod in agreement

"Okay" I agree and she snuggles into me on the bed

In less than ten minutes she's out like a light, I kiss her forehead gently before carefully moving out from underneath her, I pull the sheets over her and then carefully leave to go get some work done

Running out of chapters here and I'm sad about that but I suppose all good things must come to an end, if I'm involved then usually a rather dramatic way so be ready xoxo
