"It could have been so much worse, Jackson."
"I know but, what did you expect me to do April, did you expect me to just let you get hurt; your my wife and I love you. it's my job to protect you."

"I'm glad you did what you did, I am so thankful for you. Cause I was so scared. And, I find it sexy and cute all at the same time. But Jackson, you could have lost your job because of me."
"April I would do what I did any day of the week, for you even if it meant losing everything that I have. You're my wife and I love you so much, I would die for you. I would give up everything that I own for you if it meant that you were safe and with me."

"I think that I just fell more in love with you right now and you know that I would do the same for you. Thank you. I love you so much." she then looked up at him with so much love, adoration and passion in her eyes.
"I love you too" He told her before pulling her into a passionate kiss. But he was also mindful of her ribs.

April wrapped her arms loosely around his neck, the best she could without causing herself pain, she placed one hand on the back of his head to keeping his lips on hers. Enjoying the feeling of his lips pressed against hers.

April never wanted that feeling to end, she loved the way he tasted and the way he felt, it never got old no matter how many times they kissed it still felt as amazing as it did the first time.

Jackson's tongue ran over her bottom lip asking for entry that she gladly gave him. But the kiss stayed soft and sweet although passionate. They kissed softy like that for a few minutes until need for air became to great and they had to pull apart.

After pulling his lips from hers Jackson's forehead rested against April's looking deeply into her eyes for what seemed like forever. Seeing the same kind of love, passion and even a bit lust and he knew that his own eyes reflected the same thing.

Fifteen minutes later Jackson is back in the chair next to April's bed and they have been siting in a comfortable silence. When April breaks it.
"Hey Jackson, can you do something for me?"
"Sure, anything"
"Can you please come and lay with me and hold me?"
"Anything but that" Jackson tells her shaking his head as if to support his statement more.
"Why not Jackson? You said you would do anything."
"Because I could hurt you and I can't do that."
"Please Jackson"
"I'm sorry baby, I can't." A few minutes pass in silence before April breaks it again.

"Please Jackson, I know you think that you'll hurt me but you won't. You'll hurt me more if you don't. Please you make me feel safe and you make my pain go way." April knew that he needed this just as much as she did, she needed him to feel save, loved and relaxed.
So she would be able to get some sleep and he needed to know that she was all of those things. So she gave him her best pout and puppy dog eyes.

Jackson could never resist those eyes and felt himself saving to cave. He really did want to hold her, it had been a long day. And, he just need to be close to her, to hold her and to feel her heartbeat. And, her breath against his skin. The only thing that was stopping him was the thought that he could hurt her. And she did just say that he makes her feel safe and makes her pain go away. So he caved.

"Okay, move over but you have promise me that if you have any extra pain that you'll tell me right away"
"Promise, now get in here" April told him as she moved very carefully over in the bed.

Jackson gets up from the chair that he had barely moved from all day and takes off his shoes before moving to get into April's bed.
As gently as he could Jackson climbed in to the bed. He carefully lies his body down next to hers and loosely wraps his arms around her waist.

"Thank you, and I know you need this just as much as I did" April said as she turns her face to face his.
Jackson buries his head into April's neck and breathes her in before answering. "You're right I did need this, I need to hold you, to really know that your okay. I was so scared, that something was gonna be seriously wrong with you."

"Hey, I'm here and I'm just fine."
"I know that, I just needed to be sure, and holding you makes me sure and makes it better."
He kissed her after saying that, it's a soft, slow and genital kiss filled with love, devotion and all the other pent-up emotions that the day had left them with.

April run her tongue over his bottom lip asking for entry, which he gladly gives her. Their tongues fight for dominance as they explored each others mouths for a few minutes. Before Jackson pulls away when the need for air become to great.

A small soft satisfied smile spreads across April's face and she snuggles her face into Jackson neck and moves her body as close to his as she could get without hurting herself. Jackson then moves his chin to rest on the top of her head, April lets out a sleepy sigh at this, letting her eyes fall closed.

"You sleepy?" Jackson asks after hearing her sigh.
"Mmm"
"Sleep then, April, you need it and I'll be right here when you wake up."
"Okay, but only if you sleep too."
"Okay, Baby I'm going to sleep as well. I love you April."
"I love you too, Jackson so much. Goodnight" April is almost sleep by this point.
"Night, Sweetheart." he tells her as he lets his own eyes fall shut.Jackson then slightly tightens his arms around her body before letting himself drift off to sleep.
With his whole world resting safely in his arms.
