Nathan’s POVAmelie and Morgan returned from downstairs with a stack of letters.“What are those?” I asked.“I’ll tell you about them later. Let’s have fun with our friends,” Amelie said, placing them on the side table.I was definitely curious, but she was right; after spending so much time in the hospital, it was nice to be home with the people I loved.As the night wore on, though, all I wanted to do was climb into bed with Amelie. It didn’t even have to have sex involved. I just wanted to wrap myself around her and hold her as close as humanly possible to me. The fact that less than two months ago, I could have lost her forever still plays on my mind. Now I was looking forward to making every minute of our life count with my beautiful wife, Logan, Eliza, and the babies on the way. I also want to spend time with my brother, Zander. That honestly still sounds so weird to say.“Penny for your thoughts, Nathan?” Amelie asked.“You don’t have to pay me. My thoughts are always about you
Amelie’s POVWhile Nathan was in the washroom, I quickly texted everyone that the plan was a go.“Who were you texting?” Nathan asked, coming out of the washroom.“Just texting Zander to let him know we are coming home,” I answered.“Oh, ok,” Nathan replied.Nurse Bethany came in with a wheelchair.“What’s that for?” Nathan asked, almost seeming offended.“Sorry, Dr. Michaels,” Bethany uttered. “Hospital policy.”“Well, the hospital can stick it up…” Nathan began to say when I cut him off.“Thank you, Bethany,” I said, smiling.Bethany left the wheelchair.“Nathan, it’s not her fault,” I informed him. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned into him. “Please, just take it to the front hospital doors.”I heard him exhale. “Ok,” he said, wrapping his arms around me, kissing the top of my head.“Thank you, Nate,” I whispered.“Amelie, you shouldn’t call me, Nate,” Nathan growled.“Why not?” I asked.“It makes me horny as fuck,” he chuckled.“And that’s a bad
Nathan’s POVAfter the news, we decided it would be best for Amelie to start sleeping at home. The doctor said I was doing well in my recovery, so I’d probably be going home in about a week anyway. Amelie put up a fight at first; she didn’t want to leave my side, but I reminded her that our bed was way more comfortable than a hospital bed and that she could still spend the days with me. We also decided that we wouldn’t tell the kids and Zander until I was home from the hospital and Logan was home from school on spring break. Amelie said the only people who knew about the pregnancy were Trudy, Morgan, and Grandfather. We planned on having a big dinner to announce it to everyone.I decided, without the knowledge of any of the kids or Amelie, that as soon as we picked up Logan from school, we’d be taking off to our private island in the Caribbean. I also had arranged for our friends to meet us down there as well. The only stipulation was that it was a surprise for Amelie and the kids. So
Amelie’s POVFuck. I’m nervous as hell. We are sitting in the examining room waiting for Dr. Williams and the ultrasound tech. Please don’t let there be anything wrong with our babies. Nathan is holding my hand and stroking it.“Everything will be ok, Amelie,” Nathan said in a calming voice.“I truly hope so, Nathan,” I sniffled. “I know I said I wasn’t ready, but I want this baby so much. It’s us, Nathan.”“I know, kitten,” Nathan said, then kissed my hand.The door opened.“Sorry I took so long,” Dr. Williams said. “This is Dr. Amonte. She is the head of the Ultrasound department.”“Hi, Dr. Amonte,” Nathan said, smiling.“Hello. Dr. Williams wanted to bring me in because it seems we have a rare condition here,” Dr. Amonte said, then sat down at the ultrasound machine.Dr. Amonte started moving the wand around on my belly and pointing things out to Dr. Williams.Then she was taking pictures with the wand in different positions.“Please, doctor, tell me everything is ok with the baby
Nathan’s POVThe next two weeks were some of the most challenging of my life, after not moving for a month. I basically had to retrain every single muscle in my body. It was very frustrating at times, but having Amelie by my side every day made it so much easier. She was amazing. Helping me with my exercises and standing at the end of the apparatus with a hug as a reward. It would have been a longer recovery if she hadn’t been there.I still have a way to go, but I can continue that at home with a nurse and a therapist, and of course, Amelie would be there for my recovery as well.I had just gotten back from physiotherapy, which unfortunately, Amelie had to skip for a meeting at Eliza’s school. Grandfather was waiting in my room with a company update. After my injury, Grandfather stepped back into the CEO position temporarily to help the company out. At first, he refused to keep me updated, but with enough persistence, I wore him down in the first week. He had said it was the one time
Amelie’s POVI thought I was dreaming when I heard him stutter out the word baby, but it was really him! I jumped out of bed like a madwoman and pressed the nurse’s button.“Nathan!” I screamed, scurrying around to the other side of the bed. “Did you just say baby?”Then I saw it, his beautiful grey eyes fluttering open. I have never in my life been so glad to see those eyes open. I can’t even remember what I said next. I just felt like I was babbling. I gently bent down and kissed his lips, and he kissed me back! I was so overjoyed.“Nathan,” I sighed.“Baby?” He mumbled in a hoarse voice.I nodded. “Yes, our baby,” I said, lifting his hand to my stomach.He smiled broadly.“God, I have missed that smile,” I said, stroking his hair and grinning.Just then, the nurse rushed in.“Did you…” She started to say when she noticed Nathan’s eyes open. “Oh my gosh, I’ll get the doctor!” Out the door she ran.About ten minutes later, the nurse returned with the doctor and two orderlies. The ord
