Liz ran into the room.
"Daddy" Liz said as she ran into his arms.
"Hey sweetie." Spike said kissing Liz on the forehead.
"What's wong wit mommy?"
"Your mommy...um...your mommy has..." Spike said trying to find the right words.
"Liz your mommy has a cold and she is just resting." Jeff said for Spike.
Spike looked at Jeff and gave a weak smile and nodded.
"Mommy better?"
"She will be better soon sweetie." Spike said.
"Mommy sleeping?"
"Yes mommy sleeping" Spike answered
"Me sleep wit mommy."
"Okay but be very careful cuz we don't wanna wake mommy up."
Liz nodded and Spike laid her next to me. Liz wrapped her arm around my stomach and closed her eyes. She fell asleep too. I started to wake up. I felt something on my stomach. I opened my eyes and saw Jeff and Matt talking to dad by the windowsill. Spike was holding my hand looking at me and my baby girl was asleep next to me. I gave a weak smile and stroked my baby's hair. She woke up and looked at me.
"Mommy!" She squealed.
"Hey baby." I whispered.
"You better?" She asked.
"I hope so baby. Come here and give me a hug." I said.
"But be careful Liz. Go slowly." Spike said.
Liz slowly crawled up to me and hugged me. I hugged her back and I didn't wanna let go.
"I Wuv you mommy."
"I love you too baby." I said.
"How you feeling?" Dad asked.
"Numb, but ok." I said.
"That's to be expected." Matt said.
"Thank you guys for staying here with me." I said.
"You don't have to thank us sweetie. You know we are always going to be there for you." Matt said.
"Yea I know cuz you guys never leave me alone." I joked as I gave a little smile.
"Hey that wasn't nice." Jeff smiled.
"Yes it was Uncle Jeffy" Liz said.
"Oh you rug rat." Jeff said tickling Liz and Liz was giggling.
"Quit picking on my baby." I said.
"Fine. You're no fun."
I stuck out my tongue and held my baby girl close.
"Visiting hours are over. I'm sorry, but you all will have to leave. One may stay as long as they are family." A nurse said.
Everyone said there goodbyes and Jeff took Liz and left. Spike stayed with me. I scooted over so he could lie next to me. He wrapped one of his hands around my stomach and held me close.
"I love you," I said looking into his eyes deeply.
"I love you too. I love you so much. It was love at first sight." Spike smiled.
"Tell me a story"
"Okay what did you want me to tell you about?"
"Tell me how we first met"
"Okay. Well after I stretched for my match, I went down the hall to get a bottle of water. In the hall I saw Jeff and Matt. They had the most beautiful girl walking with them. I walked up to them and asked them who the beautiful lady was. They told me you were their sister. You were a quiet one. You whispered hi and you were so adorable. Later that day Jeff and Matt asked me to come and check on you. I was more than happy to do it. When I walked into the room you were singing and writing in your book. After that we talked and ate Jeff's skittles. Jeff and Matt walked in and Jeff saw us eating his skittles and that was how we met." Spike said.
He looked down and I was fast asleep. He smiled and kissed my forehead before dozing off himself. When I woke up that next morning. I felt a little better. I wasn't numb and the pain wasn't that bad. I looked over at the still sleeping Spike. He's been so wonderful staying here and supporting me. I should have told him sooner, but I can't change the past. I stroke his hair and gently kiss his lips. I tried to pull away, but lover boy intensified the kiss. I moaned in his mouth. I put my hand on his cheek and caressed it. We pulled apart smiling.
"Good morning." Spike smiled.
"Good morning baby"
"How do you feel today?"
"A little better." I smiled.
"Each day will get better and better you just wait and see."
"Are you going to make it better?
"You bet" He said.
"How are you going to do it?"
"I'll be a physical therapist and help you." Spike smiled evilly.
"Oh you will? Why not start right now?"
"Gladly."
He kissed my lips and then my neck. He would have done more, but we heard a little voice giggle. We turned and looked at the door and saw Jeff, Matt, and Liz.
"Um...hi?" I said.
"No..go right ahead. Finish what you were doing. We have all day." Matt said.
"Oh shut up." I laughed.
"Mommy and Daddy kiss." Liz giggled.
"Come here baby." Spike said with his hands open.
Liz ran into his arms and gave him a hug.
"Hey babygurl. How are you feeling?" Jeff asked
"I'm feeling a little better I guess." I said.
"I'm glad." Jeff smiled.
I smiled back and reached for Liz. I gave her a hug and kiss.
"Why don't you and daddy go for a walk? I bet if you bug him a lot he will get you some candy." I said to Liz.
"YAY!" Liz squealed.
Spike chuckled as he took Liz and left.
"Stacy, now that he is gone level with us. How are you really doing?" Matt asked.
"Daddy" Liz said as she ran into his arms.
"Hey sweetie." Spike said kissing Liz on the forehead.
"What's wong wit mommy?"
"Your mommy...um...your mommy has..." Spike said trying to find the right words.
