"So you’re sure Lynn helping is going to be ok? If not just say the word and I’ll have theet someone else I don’t want any extra stress on you" Hunter said while scrolling on his phone

"It h" I shrugged my shoulder "She’s supposed to be a professional after all"

"Yeah she’s supposed to be" Hunter gru she does ht?"

My strong protective man was out in full force today "I will" Before I could even get Ryder up to e belch I scrunched hed "Tie it for the world, baby" I really did love thisto start taking some of this stuff out to the car Will you be ok with him by yourself?"

I looked down at Ryder as barely able to keep his eyes open, "Yeah we’ll be great" This was the first time I would be by myself with hiave a peck to Ryder’s cheek and brushed his pointer finger down the side of his cheek, rabbed the flowers and a few gifts from around the room and left to put them in the car

As I sat there snuggling with Ryder, I thought about just how er than it’s ever been I knew there were going to be sohts -- the house would never be quite the sas would have to be put on the back burner, but it was my future, our future now, and I couldn’t wait to see how it played out

After leaving the hospital last night, I’d worried about how ain I’d offered for her to stay with us but she insisted on going back to her own house I dropped her off and ht ho for me "Hunter?" Jaylinn called out to me I could see them from where I was, but they couldn’t see me

"Yeah, it’s me"

I heard Cooper say, "See I told you No need to worry, Twinkle Toes" What the fk’s up with that nicknairl, ht Cooper to his knees I was still aht for sure I would’ve already gotten into it with hiirl every week; he was a veritableroom table, pulled off his blanket and belts and scooped him up Jaylinn walked out and looked at me with eyes full of fear and worry

"Get that look off your face That dickbag isn’t going to touch us again, Jay" Ryder started fussing "I’ll let you knohen you have to worry"

Jaylinn still looked scared but dropped the issue and went to go sit with Cooper again I took Ryder to ed him and fed him his bottle He passed out shortly after that and so did I He woke up a few hours later and I started all over again I changed him, fed him and then we both went back to sleep The proble after Jaylinn and Cooper left for work I was getting calls from unknown nu I didn’t want CC to come home to this but what could I do? I had no proof it was the dickbag playing gaed ht The little one could probably sense that so for me I was stressed the fk out I packed hiet to the hospital as soon as possible

When I got there CC was talking to Dr Clearly about Lynn assisting us, I pro her ho was settled I told her I was going to put soive ain, I hated not telling her about my piece of shit father but she didn’t need to worry about that right now These next feeeks were going to be hard enough on her because she’s so independent and she hated not being able to do stuff her hen she wants to I was ht CC down as well, so taking the things to the car was alsoaround for him

A little while later it was finally tin of ot Ryder all situated back in his car seat and Lynn came in with a wheelchair "You ready for this?" I asked CC, a huge grin spreading across et her home and in our bed I knew there would be no sex for at least six to eight weeks but I just wanted her next to et the hell out of here and never, ever co as mine

I scooped her up and put her in the wheelchair, according to hospital procedures I wasn’t allowed to push CC downstairs, so Lynn was there to do it for us

She winced as I put her in the chair, "You ok?"

She squeezed her eyes shut, "Yeah" She took a deep breath, "It’s my stomach," she opened her eyes, "I’m fine now"

I looked up at Lynn, nodded rabbed Ryder and the last bag from the room As we approached the elevators Lynn hit the button and said, "Would you like ht and assist or would you like to pick up things tolared at Lynn behind her back, "Tomorrow please and just so you know by the end of the week, I won’t need your assistance I’ll figure out a way to do this ondown at Ryder and busying eous, self-assertive, gutsy and tough She was intoxicating toelse

"I’ll be here to help as long as you need me to" Lynn tried to keep her face neutral but I could tell she was infuriated by CC’s deterood idea that we allowed her to be our nurse It was too late to change it now, but if things got too bad or if CC wasn’t on her own by the end of the week, I’d talk to her about bringing in someone else
