The Procedure
"Nick, I need to talk to you about something I've been putting off for way too long." Jackie said one day.
"Ok, what?"
"Well, I want to schedule my tubal ligation, are you still ok with that?"
"Yeah." He said honestly.
She watched his facial expression, before the twins were born she had brought up the subject and although he was always supportive of her decision Jackie could tell he hadn't wanted her to do it, this time however, she saw no hint of sadness in his eyes or on his face.
"Ok, I'll call Dr. Wilson's office tomorrow and schedule an appointment."
He nodded.
The next day she called and made an appointment and luckily for her there had been a cancelation only a week away so she could get it done soon.
When the day finally came she was nervous but happy to be finally getting it done.
The procedure wasn't bad, the IV had not surprisingly been the worst part for her.
Before she knew it she was back in the recovery room with Nick by her side.
"You ok?" Nick asked as he grabbed her hand.
"Yeah, I feel kind of loopy though, but they said that would be normal."
He nodded his head and then grinned at her.
"You're always loopy."
She laughed.
"When can we go home?" she asked.
"They said in a couple hours. Should I let you try to drive home?" He asked jokingly.
"Nope, I feel like I am on some pretty intense drugs, that wouldn't be a good idea." She replied.
He laughed.
She soon drifted off to sleep.
She heard someone come into the room soon there after.
"Nick you look different." She babbled incoherently at the female nurse that had come to check on her.
"What hon?" Nick called from the bathroom.
"Oh, there are two Nick's." She thought to herself before going back to sleep.
"Is she ready to go home?" Nick asked the nurse as he came out of the bathroom.
"I don't think so, she'd better stay a little longer, she's pretty out of it." The nurse replied.
"She's ok though, that's normal right?"
"Oh yeah, she's fine, she just has to stay a little longer."
"Ok, thank you." Nick said before the nurse left the room.
A few hours later Jackie got to go home, she felt pretty good, a little sore but not bad, although both she and Nick still thought it was a good idea if he was the one that drove home.
The End!
