***Dek's POV***

I have been in bed for a week. I'm done. I swear I have turned into a couch potato. Elik fawns overe. I love that. He hasn't left my side, working from home.

I can't lay here anymore though.

"Baby, please let me get up. I'm tired of being still." I have asked everyday since they released me from the hospital. It's torture.

"Only if you promise to be careful." Elik slides his reading glasses off and stands. He carefully helps me out of bed like I am fragile.

"I will be careful but, we are leaving this house." I grab my shirt and slip it over my head. I slip on sweats. Fucking staples get caught on everything.

"Where are we going, hmm?" Elik bends down and puts my socks and tennis shoes on.

"Food. Coffee. Mall." I make out my list. I have been planning this since day one.

"Why the mall? You know I hate shopping." Elik whines. He whines every time we go shopping.

"We need to look at baby stuff." I shrug my shoulders. Isn't it obvious?

"It's too Early. We have like 36 weeks to go." Elik kisses my lips but, continues getting ready. We're going. He won't say no.

"So, I'm excited. Don't take this from me." I pull him into a real kiss. We haven't had one in a while. Like nine days. I'm dying.

I accept his tongue into my mouth and enjoy reacquainting myself with his taste.

"I can't wait until they clear you. I miss being inside of you." Elik groans as we pull apart.

"Me either babe. I love you." I grab his hand and we take small steps to the door and down the stairs.

I wince as the incision burns under the pressure. It's a lot to heal. They gutted me.

"You sure you are up for this?" Elik presses his hand to my hip and stops me. He looks at me wearily.

"The doctor said I needed to move around. I haven't. It's going to be sore. I will take the Percocet, okay." I have to agree to this because I haven't been taking it, at all. I usually wait until I can't breathe to finally accept the pain medicine.

"Deal." Elik leaves my side and grabs a glass of juice and two pain pills. I really hate these things. They make me goofy.

"Dek!" Yani smiles as she brings her arms around to hug me. She acts like she hasn't been sitting in my bed for a week, keeping us company. They all have been, around work or school.

"We're going shopping and for coffee. Everyone is welcome to join." I kiss Yani on the head and run my fingertips over her flat stomach. I know it's too early. I don't care. One of our babies is in that tummy.

"We have an ultrasound in two weeks." Chance kisses Yani as he snuggles up to her.

"I can't wait. I do feel bad though." I can't help it. I worry she won't be happy giving away her child. It is half hers.

"Deklyn Reese. Enough of that shit. I know what I'm doing. I want to give you something that no one else is. Let me have my cake and eat it too. I get a god child and you get a child. It's really a win win." Yani smacks my stomach softly. She gasps when I double over.

"Oh fuck. Sorry. Sorry." Yani hops up and down and fans her hands rapidly over her face.

"I'm good." I grit out the lie. I turn and go to the bathroom. The pain is more than I care to burden her with.
