Bad Intentions~Dansby Swanson

Chapter 26

MARCH 26TH, 2019 

First night as new parents was very stressful and it wasn't because of Maxwell, we were worried about Lindsey who is still in critical condition and needs a few more surgeries before she's out of the woods and good to go. 

But Maxwell on the other hand, is a sweet angel and Dansby and I couldn't get any more lucky with him. He slept good throughout the night but I couldn't say the same for Dansby and I. Lindsey is currently in surgery and my dad and his parents were sitting in the room with us right now. 

"Where is Chase?" My dad asked while holding Max. "Honestly, couldn't tell you because he hasn't been here since Maxwell was born." Dansby said. "That's not like Chase, I'm going to call him." Dansby's dad said as he got up and left the room. 

"How's mom today dad?" I asked as I watched him make faces and I saw Max smile and it makes me so happy to see my dad with his only grandchild, so far anyway. "She's doing well, she got shot in the leg so the surgery wasn't major but she's still going to have to go through with physical therapy, but she'll be just fine and she can't wait to meet this little guy." 

"Can she come down here?" I asked the nurse who had just walked into the room to check on us. "Unfortunately she can't, since she's been in surgery and he was just born, we don't want to risk anything. I'm sorry." She said with a smile. 

"No it's totally understandable, just thought I'd ask." I said and Dansby's dad came back in the room. "So I have some bad news for everyone." He said with a sniffle and I knew it was something about Chase. 

"What is it honey?" His mom asked getting up and standing next to him and rubbing his back. "Well I called Chase and it went right to voicemail and I left him a message thinking his phone died and when I hung up the phone the nurse came over to me and asked if it was Chase Swanson that I was calling. I obviously said yes and she told me that he was in a bad car accident and he's in critical condition in surgery right now." He said and I let tears escape from my eyes and I looked over at Dansby who was crying also. 

"Could these past two days get any fucking worse?!" Dansby said while running his fingers through his hair and I rubbed his back and he seemed to calm down instantly. "Ne, because you're son was born and you're a daddy, that has to make things a little better." I said and he sighed. 

"You're right, he's the bright side of life right now in this room." He said taking him from my dad. "I'm going to go update mom on everything, I'll be back later, I love you." My dad said kissing my forehead and then leaving. 

"Family of Lindsey and Chase Swanson?" Another doctor coming into the room for an update. "That would be all of us." His dad said. "Well who do you want the news on first?" He asked and they didn't respond. "I think they want the news on Chase first. We just found out about his condition." I said. 

"Well he's still in surgery but doing well. Lindsey is out of the woods, for now, I think we still have to go back and do surgery on her leg but it isn't urgent. She's stable and that's all we're focused on right now." He said and everyone let out a sigh of relief. "When will we know about Chase?" His mom asked, I'm shocked she wasn't in a panic attack right now. 

"As soon and I know the information, I will come back and relay it to you guys." He said and we all thanked him. "I'm so glad Lindsey is okay." His dad said sitting down on the couch and putting his head in his hands. "We've had an eventful two days haven't we?" I said as Dansby handed me Max as he was crying. 

"Alright it's feeding time, so we're going to go visit Lindsey and we'll be back." His mom said giving us both hugs and leaving with Cooter. "It feels so good to finally have alone time with the two of you." Dansby said sitting on the couch. 

"I know, everyones been in here looking for good news, we really haven't had time to be parents except when he was born." I said looking down at Max who was enjoying himself on my boob. I swear this kid is going to be just like his dad, eating all the time. 

"So when are we having kid number two?" Dansby said and I let out a loud laugh. "Oh you're a funny one Swanson. Let's see how we can handle this one first and then we'll talk about going for number two. Don't forget, we have a dog at home." I said and his eyes went wide. 

"Oh shit. I gotta call Freddie to go over there." He said getting up and rushing out of the room. I laughed to myself as I looked down at my precious son. "You're daddy is a crazy one, but I wouldn't have it any other way." I said as I leaned down and kissed his forehead. 

I was enjoying the alone time with Max before Dansby bursted through the door in a panic. "Dansby what on earth?" I said as Maxwell started crying because he had been scared. "I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to make him cry." He said taking him away from me and he was instantly calm. 

"How in the world?" I whispered to myself, oh I'm going to have trouble when he's away on road trips. "Now you wanna tell me why you rushed in here like that?" I asked getting the gown back on since I was still feeding while he barged in here. 

"Oh yeah about that. You're mom, she had a heart attack and she's back in surgery." I'm glad I wasn't holding the baby because I probably would've dropped him. 

Could this day get any worse?
