Eton's Point of View
It was three weeks later that Valkyrie was finally being discharged. I was ecstatic to have her finally being able to go back to our room. Val is not happy that she is on bed rest for the next two weeks. She has been bored while sitting in the hospital bed and sleeping. She has read all the books that I have brought her – even the boring ones.
I walked into the room and saw that she has slowly started to get dressed. She started with her bra and shirt. She looked towards me and held out the pants towards me to help put on her. I walked over, grabbed the pants and placed them down on the bed. I moved until I was standing in between her legs and placed my hands on her waist. I picked her up and stood her up. I kept one hand around her waist as I grabbed the pants. I felt her hands being placed onto my shoulders and leaned each side to raise her leg for me to place the pants on her. I pulled up the pants to around her hips being mindful of the still tender spots and divots in her flesh.
I pulled away and held my arm out for her to use. She grasped onto it and started to stumble along with me out of the room and towards her room. We were going slowly due to the nonuse of her legs for a long period of time. I was just happy that I could join her in this. That I was there right there beside her and going through all of this.
We reached the room and I lowered her to the bed and got her comfortable. I sat down beside her with my back to the headboard and grabbed the data pad. I opened it up and started to view the list of videos that were available for everyone to watch.
"What would you want to watch?" I ask Val. I saw her look towards the data pad and lay her head down on my shoulder. She let out a small hum from the touch. I felt happiness starting to fill my heart. Val reached her left hand over and clicked a movie. I pressed the button to allow it to go to the large television on the wall at the end of the bed. She settled down and started to rest while we watched the children's movie that she picked out.
Valkyrie picked the next two movies. I got up and got food for us. I returned and saw that Val was asleep. She seemed more relaxed here. I set the food aside and rested beside her. This was the first time that I was able to actually wrap my arms around her. I feel asleep.
