Randy looks at his watch he keeps his eyes on it for most of the day this isn't a normal habit of his he usually doesn't care about time because he knows that all time is borrowed and it isn't about how much time you have but how you choose to spend that time. He always spent his time the best way possible hanging out with his children or the love of his life but today was different every second that passed meant that something could go wrong. He had never been so terrified in his whole life he didn't scare easily but today he was terrified the love of his life was in surgery to repair a broken neck and he knew that anything could happen on the operating table. Anything could wrong and he would lose the one thing he loved more than his children and he couldn't bear the thought of that. The last five years had been the greatest years of his life except for the death of his ex-wife. It almost sent him into a panic attack to think that it could all be taken away from him and there was nothing he could do but sit here. He hates the man who did this to his husband hates him more than he hates anything else in the world. He looks at his watch again and ten minutes has gone by and nothing no doctor, no nurses he was going crazy he needed to do something so he pulls his phone out of his pocket and texts his mother to see how his children are doing. She doesn't answer right away so again he is left with nothing but his thoughts he looks down at his watch and another ten minutes has gone by. He looks up and sees the doctor walking towards him he breathes a sigh of relief.
"Randy?"
"That is me."
"Your husbands surgery went great we were able to repair the break however with that said as it heals he will need therapy and he will have to learn to walk all over again and use his hands all over again."
"Thank you so much."
"They are just cleaning him up then they will get him to a room so you can go see him."
"Okay thank you so much."
"Of course so I want to give him a week here to recover so we can keep an eye on him after that I will release him."
With this he shakes the doctor's hand and watches him as he walks away he lets a smile finally spread across his face he feels happy they will be okay everything will be okay. He pulls out his phone and sees that his mother has finally texted him back.
"Hey honey the kids are great they are playing outside right now. How did his surgery go? We miss you guys love you."
"Hey I am happy to hear that please give them kisses from me and let them know we miss them so much. His surgery went really well they were able to fix his neck moving him to his room now. Needs physical therapy and might have to learn functions all over again."
"Poor John he isn't going to take that well give him a kiss from me and tell him to hang in there."
"Will do love you."
"Love you too honey."
"Randy?"
He looks up from his phone to see a red haired young nurse standing in front of him her smile lights up her blue eyes he smiles as he looks at her.
"Yes that is me."
"I am here to take you to your husband's room."
"Great."
With this he stands and starts to follow her down the hall to an elevator she pushes the up button and the doors open with a ding. He follows her into the elevator and she pushes the button for the second floor the doors close and the elevator starts to rise.
"He has been asking for you."
"He's awake?"
"Yeah he woke as we were moving him to his room. He is a very sweet guy."
"I know he is the best."
The doors open and they get off the elevator they make their way down another hall past the nurses station there about five nurses sitting talking as they go over who is due for another dose of their meds he smiles as they reach John's room she opens the door for him and he makes his way inside. John is lying in a bed that is elevated he has a bandage wrapped around his neck and pillows behind his head he looks over and his eyes brighten a little when he sees it is Randy."
"Hi baby."
"Hi."
"How are you feeling."
"Groggy."
"probably from the medicine."
He pulls a chair from the corner and sits it close to the bed then he takes a seat and grabs his husband's hand giving it a gentle kiss.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too how are the kids."
"They are doing great Mom said hi and she misses you."
"Awwwww."
"John did the doctor come and talk to you yet."
"No why oh god am I paralyzed."
"No baby no they are going to keep you here a week to watch over you then they will release you."
"Oh that isn't so bad I thought you were going to say I would never walk again."
"No but you will need therapy and you will need to learn to walk again."
"They told us that before the surgery."
"I know they did baby I just want you to know that I am here for you no matter what."
"I am so hungry."
"You want to order something?"
"Yeah I want a cheeseburger and french fries."
"Okay let me see if I can order."
On the table is a card for the cafeteria he picks it up and punches the number into the phone he waits a second before a man answers on the other end of the line. He orders two cheeseburgers two orders of fries and two cokes the man thanks him before telling him that will be a few minutes and somebody will bring it up. He thanks him before hanging up his phone and sitting backdown in his chair.
"Food is on the way."
"Thank you."
"Are you in pain?"
"Not yet I am sure though once the drugs wear off I will be."
"Yeah your right but then the beauty of it is that we call a nurse and have them drug you again."
"True story."
"You know what I just though of?"
"What?"
"The doctor also said you might not be able to use your arms."
"Oh great."
"Try to lift them."
John slowly tries to lift his arms he is able to only lift them a little ways then he tries to clench his hand which comes a little easier.
"Well at least you can do a little."
"God this is horrible I feel so helpless I hate that feeling."
"You had your neck broken you aren't helpless just injured."
"I swear if I ever get my hands on Brock it will take about fifty people off of me because I am going to hurt him."
"Baby two wrongs won't make it right you're a better person then he will ever be and that is what I love about you."
"I don't care."
"John."
"What I don't look at what he did to me Randy."
"So look at what Alberto did to me he hurt my shoulder which introduced me to pain killers which led to an addiction but it made our relationship stronger than it ever would have been."
"Yeah I suppose."
"Food is here."
A nurse opens the door she has with her a cart that is carrying their trays of food she sits John's on his little bed table then she hands Randy's too him they both thank her before she smiles and leaves the room. He opens John's first then opens his own the food looks and smells wonderful so hopefully it taste wonderful. He takes a bite and watches his husband as he tries to pick the hamburger up he can lift his arms a little but not all the way to his mouth he watches him get frustrated and place the food back on his plate.
"Do you want me to cut it up would that be easier."
"No."
"John let me help you I can cut it up and feed you small bites."
"I am not a baby Randy I don't need you to feed me."
"You can't lift your arms all the way."
"I will figure it out just leave me be."
"Fine have it your way."
He just watches as John tries again and again to lift the food to his mouth but he can't only get his arms about halfway up and aggravated look forms on his face as he finally admits defeat he pushes the food away and watches his husband eat his stomach growls which makes him feel even worse.
"Randy."
"Yes baby."
"Can you help me."
"Of course."
He pushes his plate aside and cuts up his husbands good he then stabs a couple of bites and places them in his open mouth he chews them up before opening his mouth again. They sit in silence as he feeds his husband.
