Chapter Four

I can feel the pain of each bounce down the stairs. I protect my stomach. That’s all I can think of. I don’t care how many bones I break, as long as my baby is okay. When I reach the bottom and see the blood spilling out from between my legs, I let out a huge scream, hoping someone will come and find me.

“Saylor, it’s okay.”Everett’s deep voice brings me out of the nightmare. “You were screaming. Were you dreaming?”

I nod my head, my heart too erratic to help me draw a breath.

“It’s okay, I’m here now and I’m going to take care of both of you. I was talking to the nurse and she thinks you might be able to go home in two days’ time. I’ve moved all my appointments for tomorrow so I can spend the day here with you. They want you to have a small walk and a shower tomorrow before they think of letting you go home.”

“Don’t stop working for me, Everett.”

“Of course I will. You both need me.” He puts his hand on my stomach. “Can you feel it moving around?”

I grab his hand and rest it on my stomach. I have a fetal monitor on to check the baby’s heartbeat all the time. He puts it there and within a couple of seconds the baby kicks where his hand is. He has tears in his eyes. This is the first time he’s really been able to feel a kick.

“That’s so amazing that you’re growing our baby. You’re so precious, Say. I’m going to try and work from home for a good bit of the week, but will have to go into the office for some meetings that can’t be rescheduled. I want to be there for you. I want to make sure you rest.”

“Thanks, Everett.”

Two days later, Everett is saying thank you to the nurses and hands them some chocolates and a card. He’s pushing me in the wheelchair that he has borrowed to take me to the car. I keep insisting that I can walk, but they won’t let me until I leave the hospital. He lifts me from the wheelchair into the car and then he returns it to the nurse. He pulls out into the traffic which is a little lighter than usual and heads home.

When we get there he carries me upstairs, even though I tell him I am capable of walking. He insists. He feels terribly guilty for what happened and blames himself. When I’m settled he brings me a tray with my dinner on it. There’s a single rose, a lovely dinner and a card telling me how much he loves me.

“You don’t need to go to so much trouble, Everett. I’m just happy we are home and we are together.”

“Baby, I want to look after you both. You mean the world to me and I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

“I know, Everett, but please don’t try as hard.” I smile, so that he knows that I love him, but that he doesn’t need to smother me.

“I’ll be downstairs working this afternoon, but I’ll be back up later with a cup of coffee.” He kisses me on the lips and then he goes downstairs.

I breathe a big sigh, he’s stressing me out. I don’t want to feel molly cuddled. I want to just rest and forget about what happened. I know Everett is downstairs and I’d love to surprise him in his office. I try to get out of bed, but then I realize that I need to take what the doctors say seriously. I can suck his cock anytime. I get back in and lie down, my lunch has made me tired.

Every night Everett draws me a bath, he puts candles around the outside and he plays soft music. It’s like he’s romancing me, but he doesn’t need to because I’m his and I’ll always be his.

For the next two weeks,Everett is always here. He makes me breakfast, lunch and dinner in bed. When he has to go to a meeting he has a nurse come over, or he arranges for Cass to come and sit with me. I’m at the point where I need to get back to work or at least leave the house. I’ve only left for appointments at the hospital. I need to go and have lunch with Cass.

Everett has arranged for Cass to come over, but he doesn’t know that I’m going to talk to her and make sure she takes me out for food. Everett kisses me goodbye and when he leaves, Cass turns up about half an hour later.

“Hey, babe, how’re you?” she asks as she steps into the room.

I get out of bed, “I’m great, Cass, and you’re taking me for lunch.”

She looks panicked. “No, no, Everett would kill me.”

I laugh. “What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.” I get my clothes out of the closet and get dressed. “Now, let’s get out of here before he comes back.”

Cass looks at me and raises her eyebrows. “Really? You want me to break you out? I feel like this is not going to go down well with Everett. I don’t want to get on his wrong side.”

“Yes, I want you to break me out and don’t worry about Everett. I’ll just offer him sex and he’ll be fine. He thinks that I’m not ready, but the doctor gave me the go ahead and I really could do with some underwear that fits.”

“Jesus, Say, I don’t need to hear that.” She shakes her head and then helps me down the stairs. “I know that I am going to regret this.”

I slip my arm around hers and get her to lead the way.
