Chapter 53: Reunions
I remain frozen staring at Richard in relief and a bit of shock, So many words and thoughts are running into until I finally figure out what I have been waiting to say for weeks.
"I love you", I said and gently kiss his cheek.
Richard smiles, "I love you too", he said.
I smile, "How do you feel?" I asked.
"Like shit", he said.
"Well considering your just waking up from a coma, I was expecting that", I said.
"A coma? Damn how long was I out?" he asked.
"A little more than a month", I said.
"Wow", Richard said, "I feel like I've missed so much", he said, "You look bigger", he said.
"What!" I said, "Are you calling me fat?!" I yelled.
"I meant it in a good way!" he said, "Your belly has grown! And well so have your boobs", Richard said.
I laugh, "10 minutes out of a coma and your already being a perv", I said.
"You still love me though", he said.
"More than you know", I said.
The nurse comes in and checks Richard's vitals, I take a minute to excuse myself and call my family and friends to let them know that Richard is awake.
"Kori", I hear Richard call my name.
I go back into the hospital room, "Are you ok? Is there something wrong?" I asked worried.
"No, I just missed you that's all", he said.
I blush, "I'm not leaving your side not now, not ever", I said and Richard smiles.
"Eh em", the nurse clears her throat clearly feeling uncomfortable.
"Oh hi", I said, I completely forgot that she was there, "So how is he doing?" I asked.
"His vital signs are good, I will make a suggestion to the doctor that we move you out of ICU and into a normal observation room", she said.
"That's great", I said.
The nurse smiles, "Well I'll leave you two alone", she said and leaves.
Richard slides over in the bed, I notice he winces a bit in pain but tries to hide it, "C'mere", he said and pats the space next to him.
I slide into bed and lay my head on his chest carefully, he wraps his arm around my chest and kisses me on the lips. I kiss him back and feel the happiest I've felt in weeks, I finally feel home again.
I wake up to the feel of the twins kicking my stomach and Richard nudging me awake, I groan, "Not now", I said and cuddle up to Richard.
I feel Richard chuckle, "Kori it's almost past noon you're going to have to wake up eventually", he said.
"No way, this is the best sleep I've had in a while and you and your karate twins aren't going to interrupt me", I said.
"Stubborn as always", he said and rubs my tummy, "Wow that is a powerful kick, they've already inherited my martial arts skills, I'm so proud", he said and pretends to wipe a tear from his eye.
"Well they can practice there martial arts somewhere else and not on their bladder", I said and rush to the bathroom. After quickly using the restroom I call my family and friends to let them know that Richard was finally awake. The press had also been notified about the change in Richard's condition. I quickly get ready since most of our family and friends are coming to visit today. I go to the bathroom and start to get ready. I put on some leggings and a large t shirt and quickly brush my teeth and go back into the hospital room to check on Richard.
"There's no way I'm taking a sponge bath, I want to take a shower", Richard said.
"I'm sorry sir, but you can't, your bandages and stitches can't get wet", the nurse explains.
Richard snorts, "I'm a grown man and I'm taking a shower", he said as he tries to get up.
I shake my head, "Richard can you stop being a stubborn arse and lay back down", I said.
"I'll give him the sponge bath, it's not the first time I've washed his junk before", I said and Richard blushes.
"Oh erm, well that's fine with me, I'll just go", the nurse said leaves.
Richard grins, "I'll let you give me a sponge bath on the condition that you wear a sexy nurse costume', he said and wiggles his eyebrows.
I roll my eyes, "You wish Grayson", I said.
Richard shrugs, "I had to try just because I can't stand up, that doesn't mean all of me can't", he said and wiggles his eyebrows.
I roll my eyes, "One more dick joke and I won't bathe you at all", I said.
Richard laughs, "Alright, I'll behave", he said.
"How long have those reporters been there?" Richard asked. Our families had come to visit and had been updating Richard on everything that happened.
"Since you arrived at the hospital", I said, "Every news outlet has been covering the Richard Grayson Assassination attempt", I said.
"We're so glad you're ok", my parents said.
"Yes Master Richard, you gave us quite the scare", Alfred said.
"Sorry about that", he said, "But I'm back and here to stay", he said.
"Are there any leads on who could have done this?" he asked.
Bruce shakes his head, "No, whoever has done this is being quite carefully which is why I think when you are released from the hospital you should both go into hiding", he said.
"What?!" Richard and I yell in unison.
"You have to be joking", I said.
Bruce sighs, "Look whoever is doing this isn't going to stop until their plan almost succeed one time so I think that this is best", he said.
"I agree", my mom said.
I look at my mom is shock, "You agree with him?" I asked, "No offense mom but me and Richard aren't kids anymore, we are adults and can make our own decisions.
"Yes I know that", she said, "But your still our baby and we're your parents it's our job to protect you. You are about to become parents yourself and you need to do what you think it's best in order to protect your children", she said.
I sigh "Fine", I said, "We will do it", I said.
"Good, I'll make the arrangements", Bruce said.
I lie in bed with Richard feeling completely blissfully, "I've missed this", I said.
"Me too", he said and kisses me, "It's nice to have this moment of peace for once, if one more news reporters calls about an interview, I'm putting my phone in the blender", he said.
I laugh, "Yea right, you can't go five minutes without checking your phone", I said.
"That's not true", he said, "Last time I waited 10 minutes to check it, it's not my fault that all our friends keep texting me", he said.
I laugh, our friends were coming to visit today and I couldn't be more excited and as even though Richard wouldn't admit it I know he was just as excited.
"Who do you think is more likely to cry when they see you Gar or Vic?" I asked.
"Definitely Gar, I've only see Vic cry once and that was when some dented his car with his bike", Richard said and I laugh.
We end up watching 22 Jump Street for a bit when I hear the familiar voices in the hallway.
"Why can't you get flowers like a normal person grass stain!?" Vic yelled.
"Dude, everyone knows that bonsai trees are cooler!" Gar yelled back.
"Will both of you shut up! We in a hospital!" Rachel yelled.
I walk over to the door and immediately Donna, Bee and I squeal and soon as we see each other and hug, Rachel even joins in and doesn't flinch like she normally does.
"Dude! You're alive!" Gar said and he fist bumps Richard, "I thought you were a goner", Gar said a bit teary.
Richard glances at me and mouths, Told ya, "I'm fine guys I should be able to go home this week", he said.
"Do they have any leads on who did this?" Vic asked.
"No", I said, "Until the find who attacked Richard Bruce wants us to go into hiding", I said.
Everyone gasps, "I didn't think it was that serious", Donna said.
"Bruce apparently thinks so", Richard said annoyed.
"You can't really blame him though, he is only trying to protect you", Rachel said, "Besides with Kori being pregnant I can understand", she said.
"Speaking of pregnant, did you find out the babies gender yet?" Bee asked.
I shake my head, "No, haven't find the time, I'm hoping we will get the chance before we…you know", I said.
"Well I guess I will just have to stick to gender neutral shopping then, but seriously Kori you look like your about to pop", Donna said.
"I know", I said, "I'm going to waddling everywhere I go soon", I said and laughed.
Our friends stay most of the day, it was really nice catching up and felt like old times.
"Well it's getting late, we should go", Rachel said.
"Get well soon", Gar said, "And I left instructions on how to take care of the tree", he said.
"Thanks", Richard said.
"Stay strong man", Vic said.
"Will do", Richard said.
"Bye Richard, Bye Kori", she said and gives me a huge hug, "Call me if you need anything", she said.
"I will and thanks", I said.
Everyone says their last minute goodbyes before leaving. I clean up the empty pizza boxes and cups and flop on a bed chair.
"Tired?" Richard asked.
"Yea", I said, "But it was really nice seeing everyone", I said.
"Yea, I missed our crazy friends", he said and chuckled, "You need to get some rest, you've been on your feet most of the day", he said.
"No I'm fine", I said sleepily.
Richard sighs, "My stubborn lovely wife", He said and starts rubbing my belly.
"You still love me though", I said getting sleepier.
"Forever and Always", he said before I drift off to sleep.
