Chapter 164

"If you continue to do as well as you are now, then I think I'll release you in three days. As for making love, my dear you won't feel like that for a while. My guess is two to three weeks. In rare cases some women have been known to have sex within two weeks after the surgery. I doubt that will happen. It's been two days since the surgery and if I let you go home in three days, that's almost one week. You'll be too fatigued, and much too sore from muscle and bone pain."

"Ummmm, doc, you're wrong! Both Krys and I feel like it NOW! It's just our silly men that think we're not ready!"

"I would ask you not try anything while in the hospital in case you cause damage to the surgery preformed. Once you're home, if you think you're ready then you have my permission to try with caution. I still don't think either of you are ready, but far be it of me to stand in the way of young love."

"Thank you doctor, it's been along time since I've been called young, but I hope I can stay up with this beautiful hellcat," laughed AJ leaning down and kissing Krista.

"Better get used to it, Albert, there'll be three of us soon!" she giggled

"Yes, and Krista, I'll love all three of you. I can't wait to hold you all in my arms at the same time. That's something I won't have any trouble getting used to at all, sweetheart, since I love you all so much."

"Ummmm, Albert, we love you too," she said on a yawn then giggled. "I guess we're tired too."

"It's been a rough couple days, especially for you and Krystal. I think it would be best if the two of you got some rest. I may take a nap myself. If you need me, just let me know, I'll be laying right beside you and I want to help you any way I can."

"Ummmm I wish I was awake enough to watch you sleep..." she drifted off snuggled in his arms.

"But it would give me so much pleasure to watch you sleep and let our babies rest with you, Darlin'," whispered AJ brushing his lips with hers. It was the first decent sleep that the four of them had gotten since the girls entered the hospital. Even though the pain woke the twins after about six hours, it had been good solid sleep; they woke refreshed, even if they needed another oil treatment.

"Did you sleep well' Darlin'?" asked AJ. "Can I get you anything, tea or do you need an oil treatment to relieve any pain you're in?"

"Just my oils, Albert, and yes I slept like a baby in your arms. I feel so much better!"

Tom felt Krystal stirring and reached for the oils before she was completely awake. He was rubbing them on her as she became aware that she was in pain.

"Tom darling, how did you know?" Krystal asked drowsily. "I slept well-did you my love? How are AJ and Kris?"

"Because I know you, my love. They're fine, AJ's waiting for the oils and Krista just said she was feeling better. How are you feeling, my love?"

"I'm glad, Darlin', with a little luck you should be allowed soft foods today and if things keep going well they'll take that IV out soon. Then I'll be able to take you home with me and hold you safely in my arms for you to sleep any time you want," smiled AJ kissing Kris good morning. "Krista, if you can wait just a minute, Tom's using the oil's on Krystal and then I'll massage your pain away."

"Much better, I slept better last night since I've been here and I wake up to you using your magic hands to make the pain disappear. Did you rest well, darling?" asked Krystal stretching under Tom's tender touch. "Hummm feels so good, sweetheart, I love you so much."
