We were finally home. Kim refuses to let me hold Thea or her bag so she has carried both to my apartment. Is it even my apartment anymore? I mean Kim and Thea live here now. It was our apartment, and I liked the sound of that.
"You go sit on the couch with Thea, and I'll go order pizza. Double pepperoni right?" It didn't feel like she was asking a question as she basically pushed me down, and placed Thea right next to me to then go into the other room to place the order. She didn't really ask because she already knew that it was my favorite.
When she came from ordering she lifted Thea up, and sat down with her on her lap.
"The pizza should be here in twenty." She really was amazing. That was all I could think of when I watched as she reached over to get the remote while Thea was playing with her necklace. In this moment all I could think was how it looked so natural. Like it was meant to be. Kim being Thea's maternal figure, or should I even dare say mom. They looked just like mother and daughter. Why was I saying this? I mean I did ask Kim to move in with me, and she did agree too. Kim had put on Disney channel which showed some cartoon thing that Thea seemed to like. I guess I will probably be getting used to watching stuff like this, and knowing the names of the shows.Ding.
"And there's the pizza." Kim lightly pushed me back down as I tried to get up to get the pizza. She put Thea down on my side before going to the door.
"And I know that there is money in your wallet which is in the middle draw of the table by the door." I wasn't that predictable. Was I? You know what it doesn't matter because right now I was on dad duty. It seemed that whatever Thea was watching was off so I took her into the kitchen, and placed her in her highchair. While I was doing this Kim set the pizza down, got a slice for me and her, and took the pepperoni off of Thea's. Now she was working on cutting up the pizza to then put it in the fridge while it cooled.
After dinner Kim basically pushed me back to the couch, and put the tv remote in my hand. Giving me the silent command to stay and watch tv. She on the other hand had given Thea an apple sauce to have while she did the dishes. All I could do was watch after the one time I tried to ask her if she wanted help, and was immediately turned down with the doctors said you need rest.
Then, once she finished with the dishes she took Thea into her room to get what looked like pajamas. She then went to the bathroom, and I could hear the water running. I knew better then to ask if she wanted help considering I could barely get the words out last time. I wasn't even paying attention to what was happening on the tv because I was too busy listening to the laughs that were coming out of the bathroom.
Once the bath was over the girls came out. Kim slightly soaked, and Thea in her pajamas with her slightly damp hair down in waves. Kim walked over to me and put Thea down by my side. She then went to go make Thea her bottle. You could tell she was tired already because she was already curled up by my side. I loved that feeling. Holding her close to me, and the fact that I comforted her enough to go to sleep. Kim came back in and lifted Thea off of my side, and sat back down where Thea was. Just like we were before except for the fact that my arm had made its way around Kim's shoulders. She just leaned towards me while having Thea in the nook of her arm while giving her the bottle.
"You know I could've done that right. You've done everything else tonight." She just gave me a look that said that she was willing to argue if that was what I wanted.
"Say that to your wound that still has a bandage on it." Thea had already finished her bottle so Kim put the bottle on the coffee table, and then went to put Thea to bed. When she came back I knew she was tired. I mean I might've been the one that got shot, but I know from experience that emotions take a lot out of you. I could tell that she was going through a whirlwind of them.
"You ready to go to bed. I know that we haven't gotten your stuff yet so you can borrow some of mine again if you want." She looked grateful, and exhausted. She just nodded as she helped me up, and we walked to my...our bedroom? I didn't know anymore. When we got to our room Kim grabbed clothes and went to change in the bathroom while I changed in the bedroom. Luckily the wound wasn't so bad that I needed help with everything.
When we were both changed we went straight to sleep. Both of us on our side, and we both fell asleep after the couple of days we've been having. Not knowing that our subconscious would have us move in our sleep.
