Daddy's Love

My body aches and my head pounds. Fuck. I open my eyes and the lights hurt my eyes so I close them back. I groan. What the hell? I am thirsty as fuck. My throat is parched.

I sit up to see Jay asleep on the sofa with both girls on either side of him, hugging him. They look so adorable my eyes well up. Oh God, I love my family.

I try to take the water from the side table quietly but Jay wakes up.

"Oh God! You are awake!" He comes up-to me and kisses me and hugs me. Ouch. I try not to wince. He is on the verge of tears.

"Wait, I'll call the doctor!" He says and pulls back.

"W-wait..." I hold his hand.

He looks at me.

"Marry me." I tell him.

"What?"

"Marry me. No wait this is not sounding right. Marry me?" Now I am asking.

He laughs. "Christian, you are on drugs. Lie back down. I will call the doctor." He squeezes my hand.

"I want water."

He nods and helps me drink a few sips.

"The girls? They're okay?" I ask looking at them. They are out like a light.

"Yes. They are fine, only tired. They were awake the whole night and wouldn't be left alone back home with Ron or anyone else. They wanted to be with you." He tells me and kisses me.

I nod.

"Now Christian, let me call the doctor. All those machines attached to you are making awful sounds. I will feel better once the doctor tells me you are fine."

I roll my eyes.

"Wait, Timothy? Is he okay?" I ask.

He pales.

"Yes. Not okay, obviously. You beat the crap out of him." He gives a nervous laugh and goes out.

I am tired already. Fuck. I slowly lay back down.

I come back with Mr. G to see both the girls on top of Grey, hugging him.

"No, no, girls! Get down!" I pick them up and place them on the couch.

"Be gentle with daddy for now." I kiss them on their heads one by one. Ana raises her hands so I pick her up.

Mr. G checks Grey. "How are you feeling?"

"Shitty." He says and I roll my eyes.

The girls giggle.

"You need to rest Mr. Grey. Your body needs time to recover. I'll send in the nurse." He smiles and leaves. What? Is he okay?

The nurse comes in with a shot and I try to take the girls out.

They don't want to leave.

"Don't hurt daddy..." Carol mumbles.

"Hey, come here hold my hand baby." Grey calls her. She goes near and stands by him.

"I know it looks scary and that it hurts but it does make you feel better. Come help daddy take his shot. You freak out for no reason." She holds his hand and tries to smile.

Ana looks at them from my arms.

Ten seconds later it's done.

"See? It's really quick and doesn't hurt as much if you don't resist and waste your energy screaming and bawling. You get tired and sick

because of that. Not because of the shot." He says.

"Yeah, sure. That's enough knowledge for one day. Carol come; we are stinking. Let's go home and clean ourselves up and then we can come and see daddy again." hold her hand.

"You sleep well. Don't move your ass from that bed." I kiss Christian.

"Couldn't, even if I tried." He chuckles.

"I love you. Marry me. Please?" He tells me again.

"I love you too. Go back to sleep." I go back home with the girls.

"Jay?"

I turn back to look at him.

"I'm sorry. Really." He looks so vulnerable my heart breaks.

"Go back to sleep. Good night." I smile at him; well I try to and take the girls home.☐☐☐☐☐
