Chapter 159

"AJ is caring for her, darling, don't you fret. She's telling him how much she loves him, so I'm sure she's fine. Course I know she could be better...because she doesn't have him naked and..." cough..."well, never mind!" he stopped before finishing what he had been going to say

"Since I had been going to do it myself so you could rest, it is better than better, darling. Have I told you in the last fifteen minutes that I love you?"

"So, she's been feeling much better," snuggling down next to him. "Maybe tomorrow, I'll be able to compete with Kris and who knows I might even win the competition. Would you like that, my love?"

"You don't have to tell me, Krista, my love. You show me in more ways than you know. And I'm not just talking about sexual ways. I love you; my darling, life wouldn't be worth living without you. So lay back and hurry up and get well for me and the little ones," he smiled as he continued to gently rub the oils in her body.

"Only when you are completely well, then we can compete all you like!" he smiled at her. "But they have a head start on us in the baby race..."

"That doesn't mean that we can't catch up. I'm willing to force myself to give all I have darling if you are," grinned Krystal.

"Albert, how soon do we get to go home?" Krista asked.

"I don't know, Dr. Vossen didn't mention it when he was in. The truth is, Tom and I were just so glad that the both of you came through alright we didn't think to ask," AJ stated.

"Well how bout we spring a prison break?" she whispered in his ear nibbling on the lobe.

"I say, you keep that sweet little tush of yours in bed until the doctor clears you to go home," he grinned, nipping her neck. "I want you well and healthy for the rest of our lives. Also, someone is going to have to get up and change those diapers in the middle of the night."

Holding his head to her and moaning, "Tom, my darling, I hope Kris' medicines work fast, because I don't think I can wait a couple of weeks without your love."

"I know, Albert, but I just want to be sure you loved me enough to do something for me..."

"Krista, I thought you knew I loved you by know. What will it take to prove my love, Darlin'?"

"If one of these babies is a boy let me name him Albert," she whispered.

"Darlin', why would you want to do that to one of our son's? Can't you think of another name you prefer?"

"Nope, that's the best name I know...I knew you didn't love me..." she sighed dramatically.

"Darlin', I do love you, it's my name I hate. Can't you at least try to think of something else?"

"Nope," she pouted.

"Alright, Darlin'-if one's a boy, then you can name him Albert. However I reserve the right to tell him that his mother named him."

"He'll be so loved, he won't care!" she declared, happy to have won another fight.

"Lets wait until he comes home with a black eye or two then see what he says."

"How about if we name him Al Bert?"

"How about you go to sleep before I call the nurse and have her give you a shot?"

"She's great! Get some sleep buddy, with these two in our lives I'm coming to believe that sleep is going to be at a premium!"

"Yeah, that's the truth. You never know what Krista's going to come up with next. She wants to name our son Albert if one of the babies is a boy. Albert, can you imagine? And I just agreed to it."

"After all the years you've spent avoiding the name? Wow, you are in love with that little lady!"

"Yep-crazy in love with her. I've been scared to death that something will go wrong with this bone marrow transplant and I'll lose her. I don't know what I'd do, Tom. Be thankful you don't have that to worry about."
