Recovery

It was five in the afternoon when my doctor had finally released me. Dr Hyll had spoken about my blood pressure being a little too high and that they wanted to keep me a little longer but Johnattan however, wouldn't have it.

He gave this big speech about how it is in my best interest to stay with one of them, it'll allow me to relax in an environment that's familiar and comfortable to me and then after that I kind of spaced out. It's just that watching the father of my children speak on my behalf has a way of peaking my sexual interest... or maybe it's just hormones.

Regardless, it was arousing watching my man debate what is best for me mentally and physically. He'd even argued that he'd be there with me 24/7 so I'd always be cared for and then... I just got lost in watching him again. The way his body moved, his dress shirt clinging to his arms as he moves his hands around rapidly. Those thick, ripped biceps... Yeah, it's definitely the hormones.

After he successfully persuaded my doctor to release me, I was brought up to do tests again just to ensure it was okay to let me go. Then I was wheeled towards Edward's car and drove home... Well, I was driven to my apartment building but because of the police tape around my apartment, I couldn't enter. So, I was instead carried down the hall to another apartment that I soon found out was Johnattan's.

When he had found me Johnattan had rented this apartment to be closer to me, just in case anything happened. Unfortunately, something did but he got there a little too late. Okay... Mind off the bad things Tina.

So, the gang are now piled up in the little apartment refusing to leave it until I am cleaned up and in bed. It is really refreshing to know that I have people like them around me, caring, helping and loving me. And it's because of that love that I find myself being soaked and lathered by both Shan and Chev as I sit in Johnattan's tub.

The warm water relaxes my muscles as I lay back in the bubbly bath. My nerves calm, my stress seem to soak away as the scented candle diffuse in the room. Dr Hyll had advised aroma therapy to calm my nerves so, the guys picked up a few candles on the way over here.

Taking a deep breath I sigh fluttering my eyes close. Lavender.

Feeling playful, I cup my hands taking up the some sod and blow it causing bubbles to fly a few landing Chev's face, causing her to make a fuss while Shan and I giggled.

"Why am I always at the receiving end of your teases and games?" Chev asks in annoyance as she washes my body with a sponge.

"Well..." I start moving my arms around in the water. "You're reactions are so much better," I then use my soapy finger to tap her nose and she scrunches it.

"That's what Edward said," Shan pipes with a smirk, earning a splash from Chev and send us all in giggling fits.

Shan pouts at Chev playfully as she works her magic fingers through my hair, lathering it with shampoo. It'd taken a while but they had successfully gotten Vini's skilful cornrows out of my hair to give it a well needed wash.

"Yeah, yeah," Chev smiles as she rubs the sponge over my bump. "We're just happy you are okay."

She smiles, petting my stomach before adding. "The three of you."

"Yes, we are," Shan adds before using the shower head to rinse my hair. "Congrats on telling Johnattan about the babies... I'm sure Lexi would be happy for you."

I nod my head, eyes close, trying to smile as I ignore the fact that Shan said would as in past tense.

"Yeah, she will but a little pissed too.... We had planned the perfect way to tell him, hours of planning gone to waste and we didn't even get to do it," I say on the brink of tears.
