In Bed With Her Shithead Boss Chapter One Hundred-Thirty-Nine
Sutton hadn’t stood on her own yet, but with Luca’s arm tucked under hers and a nurse steadying her opposite side, she made the slow, careful walk down the short hallway toward the NICU, that was after a very necessary trip to the bathroom.It was humbling how broken her body felt. Every shift of weight ached. Her hip radiated something sharp if she turned even a degree too far, and the stitches pulled at her stomach.She wasn’t thinking about her injuries. She was thinking about him. The tiny baby who had come twelve weeks too early. Their son.Luca hadn’t said much during the walk. His hand never left hers, letting her pace herself.The NICU doors opened with a soft click, controlled and climate-sealed. Monitors beeped at intervals throughout the room. Every crib was spaced out intentionally, and tiny lives lived between glass and plastic domes.They moved to the second incubator near the end of the row.Inside, beneath a tangle of tubes and wires thin as threads, a baby smaller tha

He sat in a hard plastic chair beside her bed, elbow resting on the edge of the mattress, his fingers wrapped around her wrist as if it were made of delicate glass. It was morning, and he hadn’t slept at all. Roman had dropped clothes off, and the nurses had let him use the shower in Sutton’s private room they had moved her to around eleven last night.Luca hadn’t left her for more than a few minutes; he couldn’t. He was so worried that if he turned his back on her for even one second, she might disappear. He could not lose her again. Even though he hadn’t realized he was in love with her the first time, he had still felt the loss of her when she had left. It was only then that he started to understand what she had truly meant to him. It hadn’t been a lightbulb moment at first; he had told himself it was the baby. But he had only been fooling himself.Sutton stirred; at first, it was just a twitch of her fingers. Then, there was a deep indrawn breath.Luca leaned closer. He watched as

It felt like time had stopped and doubled in on itself. Luca sat with his elbows on his knees, head in his hands. His knuckles were white. His breathing was shallow. The walls were starting to get to him, but he hadn’t moved in over an hour.Neither had Roman, posted at the door like a guard. Keira was in a chair beside him, hands clasped so tightly that her knuckles cracked every time she shifted. Blair sat quietly nearby, staring at the tiled floor, her expression unreadable. Antonio and Bella sat together talking softly.Someone coughed down the hall. Footsteps.Then the door opened.A doctor in a white coat stepped gently into the room, her ID badge tucked against her chest.“Mr. De Santis?”They all looked up at once.Luca stood abruptly, his body jerking to attention, and so did Antonio.“I’m Dr. Smith,” the woman said. “Cardiology.” She said to them both.Everyone in the room held his or her breath.“Your father pulled through.”Luca exhaled. Hard. Shoulders slumped for the firs

The surgical waiting room was quiet again now, save for the occasional shuffle of a nurse’s sneakers passing by the open door. Keira was curled in a chair, cradling a cup of coffee. Luca figured it would be stone cold by now. Blair sat cross-legged by the window, thumbing through a magazine on her lap, but the way she wasn’t spending any time on each page, he doubted she was even reading it.Roman sat beside her, his hand rubbing up and down her back as he checked his watch again.Luca’s phone buzzed in his lap.Nick De Santis’s name showed on the screen. Luca stared at it for a beat, thumb hesitating above the screen.Of all the moments for his father to call!For one brief second, he thought about letting it ring out, telling himself he would call back later. After Sutton woke up. After he saw the baby. After he knew they would both be okay.But it wasn’t just Sutton lying unconscious in recovery. He still hadn’t been allowed to see her.It was also Nick’s grandson in that NICU.And

Sutton drifted between layers of dim sound and raw pain. It was too much. It was like her body no longer belonged to her. It throbbed. It pulsed. It ached in strange places. Hands touched her everywhere… her stomach, her face, her arms. The back of her head. Voices moved over her like waves. She didn’t even know if she could answer if they asked her any questions.“BP’s dropping… get fluids going, now!”“The OB team is on their way.”“She’s around twenty-eight weeks? Okay, prep for fetal distress protocol and call neonatal. Possible placental abruption on impact.”The ER was manic. So much noise, so much rapid motion.She felt herself slipping again… but then… a voice.Deeper than the rest. “Where is she? Where is Sutton Warner?”It penetrated the darkness in her head. Luca.“I’m here,” he said. His hand found hers. It was warm. His lips touched her hairline. “I’m here, Sutton. I’ve got you, okay? I’ve got you. Just stay awake. Please, baby.”She tried to blink. Her eyes wouldn’t coope

It was almost six when Sutton walked out of Cyber10 that afternoon. She’d stayed later than she meant to, tinkering with firewall patches before locking her machine. Her body was already objecting to the long day in her chair; her lower back was aching. Her breasts made a silent bid for escape. It had been a good day. HR had sent an email around to all staff letting them know Sutton had taken the role.She felt one part pride, two parts absolute terror.The air outside was a little chilly as she made her way over to David. He was in his usual spot across the street, leaning against the gleaming black car. He waved to her in welcome.“Long day?” he asked as she approached.“Long week,” she said, adjusting the bag strap that was cutting into her shoulder. “But it’s finally done. I just accepted a new role at work. So it should be interesting over the next few weeks. But I have to say after this week, I’m glad it’s Friday and the only thing I have to worry about this weekend is getting ou
