Boston (Book 2 Rob and Caroline)

Operation

I woke up and realized Rob isn't sleeping next to me, I got out of bed and walked into the kitchen. "Babe, what's wrong?" I asked seeing him struggling to get the medicine bottle open.

"I can't get the fricken bottle open" Rob said

"It's okay, I'll do it" I said stroking his arm before taking the medicine bottle from his hand.

"I'm f*cking starving" he said as I handed him two pills.

"I know baby, I'm sorry you can't eat anything, let's go back to bed" I said.

"I'm starving and my arm kills. I can't sleep" Rob said, grumpy sitting down in a chair.

"Okay, what would you like me to do" I asked finally waking up. "Will a kiss make it better?"

"It definitely won't hurt it" Rob said, "you know sex actually is a proven pain killer."

"Don't push your luck" I said kissing him.

"What you won't have sex with a gimp" Rob said making a puppy dog face. "You know I have surgery in a few hours."

"Rob it's three in the morning" I said, "let's get you back in bed, and we'll lay there and snuggle okay."

"Okay" Rob said standing up.

I cleaned up Rob's mess in the kitchen before going back to bed.

"You look so good in my t-shirt" he said as I laid down next to him.

I wrapped my arms around him from behind. "Rob what would we do if something more serious happened?" I asked leaving a kiss on his shoulder.

"We'd figure it out babe" Rob said "don't worry about the what if's."

"I can't not worry about the what if's Rob" I said, "I can't imagine if you broke your back and you were paralyzed for the rest of your life. Or if you got a concussion and had brain damaged ten years from now."

"Caroline, it will be totally fine" Rob said, "football is a part of my life that at twenty-three I'm not ready to give up."

"I know," I said realizing this probably isn't the time to discuss this.

I went into the kitchen making myself a cup of coffee.

I walked back into our room and sat down on the edge of the bed. I ran a hand through Rob's hair. "Babe, it's time to get up" I said.

"Alright, I'll be out in a minute" he said.

"Okay" I said getting up.

I sat down at the counter, drinking my coffee. I felt strong, arms wrap around me and kisses on my neck, "babe, I know this isn't the time to talk about this, but what if we started trying for a baby?"

"You're exactly right, we will talk about that not at 5am" I said, "okay? I'm too tired."

"I understand, but maybe later tonight" he said. I spun around.

"Yes, we will talk later tonight" I said. "Or tomorrow, but before I leave."

"Okay, well we should probably go" Rob said, leaning in and kissing me, "good morning."

"Good morning" I said after our five minute make out session we got in the car.

Helping Rob into the house, thank god I have Goon and James. Rob fell asleep on the couch so I had some time to work.

"Babe, will you come over here. I think a kiss might you know help with the pain." Rob said. I smiled at him.

"Oh is that so" I said walking over and straddling his waist. I leaned down and kissed him.

When I pulled away from our very heated make out session. I let my hand brush his cheek. "Would you like anything else."

"Nope, just for you to stay right here" he said, "and maybe a few more kisses."

I laughed, leaning down and kissing him again.
