Circle Of Love

Chapter Twenty Three

Two days later, Lucas sat there as the doctor examined him. Amy sat beside him on the bed.

"You are healing nicely, two more days and we will let you go home," the doctor said.

"Doc, I can rest at home, why can't I go now?" Lucas asked.

"Mr. Reigns, you are close to death a few days ago, we don't want to rush things," the doctor said.

"Who said I was going to rush anything, I want to go home to my own bed, I want to sleep in my own bed, I will go home straight to bed, I won't move unless it's to the bathroom, I can have her brothers come stay to help me," Lucas said.

"Very well, I will get the discharge papers," the doctor said. He left the room and Lucas looked at her and he put a hand on her stomach.

"How's our little one?" Lucas asked.

"Doing good, the drinking didn't affect it so that's good, I've been taking it easy and trying to keep the stress down," Amy said.

"No stress okay," Lucas said.

"Tell that to your fucking father who insisted on coming in here before you woke up and had the nerve to tell me that I had no right to kick him out of here," Amy said.

"Where is he?" Lucas asked.

"Your mother is keeping him away from the hospital, she got him out by threatening divorce," Amy said.

"Oh boy, divorce is one thing that he never wants, and he's scared of her," Lucas said.

"Nick was here helping as well," Amy said.

"What?" Lucas said.

"As a favor to Jamie, Nick, Hank, and Todd took turns guarding your door," Amy said.

"He didn't do anything, did he," Lucas said.

"He apologized for everything and told me that he knows where I belong, here with you," Amy said.

"So you chose me?" Lucas asked.

"I didn't say that, I couldn't leave you, I just couldn't," Amy said.

"You chose him?" Lucas asked.

"I haven't chosen yet, I don't know what to do still, Greg texted me saying you got shot and I hightailed it back here," Amy said.

"Amy, I meant what I said," Lucas said.

"I know, everything is just a mess in my head, I know I love you, I still love him, I'm having your baby, he's willing to be there for me regardless," Amy said.

"I know this is hard for you, I don't want to step aside, I want to be with you, Amy, forever," Lucas said.

"I know, Lucas, it's just that he was right, he and I broke up because of fake marriage papers and I can't blame you because you didn't know they were fake either," Amy said.

"If they were fake, I wouldn't have came for you, I would have left you be and blocked my father from my life right then," Lucas said.

"And he did this behind your mom's back," Amy said.

"Yep, and if there is one person he is scared of, it's her," Lucas said. The doctor came in and Lucas signed the papers and he slowly got up and changed into some clothes and they wheeled him out to Amy's car and they helped him in. Amy put her bag in the backseat and got in and they headed for the house.

"I'll be happy to sleep in my own bed, I hated that hospital bed, not comfortable at all," Lucas said.

"Yeah I know, JJ and Sam will be at the house to help you up to bed," Amy said. She pulled in and got out and JJ and Sam helped Lucas out and up to the bedroom while Amy followed. The guys got him settled into bed and hugged her and left the room.

"They aren't staying?" Lucas asked.

"They are going to get a bag of clothes and comeback," Amy said.

"Want to lay with me, you should get some rest, probably need it after being at the hospital with me," Lucas said.

All right," Amy said. She got into bed with him and they went to sleep. JJ and Sam came back and saw them asleep and went to pick rooms and got them cleaned up. They sat in the living room watching TV.
