It had been three days since Olivia's surgery and she was now at home resting. Natalia watched as the older woman began to dose off
"Olivia"
"Hmm?"
"Sweetie I am going to get Rafe to help you to our bedroom"
"But I'm ok"
"No honey you are falling asleep"
"But I want to stay down here with you and the kids"
"Honey! You need to rest"
"But"
"You promise not to argue with me"
"I know"
"You promise Rick too"
"I know"
"So let our son help you upstairs and you can rest. Then when its dinner time, I will bring up a plate for you and me…"
Olivia sighed, "I hate being weak"
"Oh honey, you are recuperating and I want you to be healthy"
"Really?"
"Yes! How else am I going to have my way with you?"
Olivia begin to think about it, "Okay you win"
"I know I do", Natalia leaned in and kissed the woman, "Rafe"
Rafe stuck his head out the kitchen, "Yeah ma?"
"Can you please take your mom to our room?"
"Is everything okay?"
"Yes…She is just a bit tired and I know she won't be comfortable down here"
"Okay", Rafe replied as he walked over to them, "Are you ready to go mom?"
"I guess…Your mama won't let me stay down here with you and your sisters"
Natalia rolled her eyes
Rafe smiled as he helped her up the stairs, when he got her lying down on the bed, "Mom I have something to tell you"
"What's that?"
"Mama always know when to get her way and I wouldn't argue with her if I was you"
"Because she is always right?"
"That's right mom. Do you need anything? Like a pillow or something to drink?"
"Can you see if your mama has any lemonade made?"
"I will go check"
"Thanks honey"
"Sure", Rafe walked out the room and headed downstairs, "Ma"
"Yes?"
"Mom would like to know if you have any lemonade."
"I will go pour her a glass and you can take it to her"
"How long till dinner is ready?"
"Just a little bit honey", Natalia replied handing her son the glass of lemonade
"Ok I will tell mom"
"Thanks and I will leave you and your sisters down here when I bring food to her"
"Cool", Rafe replied heading upstairs
