He woke up the next morning and he felt so much better, no more pain and Bay was sleeping with her head on the side of his bed holding his hand. He realized something last night, the love that they had for each other was not going any where , it would take time but eventually she would take him back.
He called the nurse she brought him to the bathroom and gave him a sponge bath, he felt so much better he asked the nurse if he could go for a walk, she called an aid and she brought him down the hall and back. He got back into the room and he went sit on the sofa, she would be awake in about twenty minutes, she would need to pump.
She woke up and reached for him, she picked up her head and looked up " hello gorgeous " he signed. She walks up to him" you look so much better ". He held up her pump, she stuck her tongue at him.
About an hour later she was still in the bathroom, and he had to go. He text's her " hey I really need to use the bathroom, are you going to be in there for much longer" she reads the text, "I forgot conditioner" he starts laughing " too funny, but let me use it, and I'll try to untangle it for you" he texted.
She walks out and looks at him, he is shaking his head. He walks in with he IV, and she walks in behind him " I got this" he signed. " Really I think you need some help but I will walk out and text me when you are done" she helped him pull down his pants and sit.
The Dr walked in when he is in there, she talk's with him, and if he is feeling ok he can go home but he wants to look at his incision.
When he came out he was able to talk to him with Bay's help, he said he could go home and to make him an appointment with his Dr for a follow up visit. He looked at her " I think I will go to my mom's it will be too hard with Eli". She was blown away " look I don't think that you know how much I want to take care of you, when it was me you were there even when I did not want you to be, so please say that you will come home" .
"Bay I really can't do anything for myself, a shower, I can't even climb the stairs" he signed. " Well that means you will have to stay in my room down stairs, and I can give you a bath, I have seen it all before" she laughed. He had tears in his eyes , " alone" , he signed. " No, but we are not back together, please understand that"
He wiped his eyes, " let me see what I can do with that mess on top of your head" .
" Don't worry about it I will try to put it in a bun, and wash it again when we get home". She walked to the bathroom. He put his head on the pillow, he couldn't be the only one who noticed it, they would be back together.
Her phone starts vibrating he looks at it Nick, who was Nick. "Bay" he calls out, she comes out and he holds up the phone.
She walks back into the bathroom, talking in the phone. He knew that jealousy was not going to get him anywhere. He gets up and starts packing his clothes, they had not even taken his IV out so it wasn't easy.
She comes out a few minutes later you could tell she was crying, " what's wrong" he sign's, "it's Monday at noon, that means you were asleep for along time, I thought it was Sunday".
He closes his eyes this means that everyone was right, she was not here when he was sleeping, her body was but her mind could not handle it. " Bay I was asleep for close to forty hours, the Dr said that he told ya'll that the sugary was a lot for my body to handle, but I am here now"
" I just can't believe that I could not know how long it was, It seemed like only a few hours, now I know why everyone wanted me to have something for stress"
He hugged her they sat there for a long time he could feel the tears on his neck, he looks at her, " you have no clue how much I want to kiss you and tell you that I got you no matter what happens, but I know that you can't forgive me for what I put you through"
" I forgave you along time ago, I just can't trust you not to hurt me again, I cried for three months last time and I can't do it again"
He did not know what to do, " you know that every time I went to see you at the Dr's office, I went home and cried because I should have been your husband, you should have not done that alone, and it was because I was weak, I could not handle you going to Italy, when they were taking you in to have Eli you touched my hand and the love I felt made me cry so much I love you".
The nurse walks in, " ready to go home" she said.
