You need to expand those lungs. It will hurt, but I think your pain should start to ease after a week or two.”
One to two weeks of this. Wonderful.
Wyatt returned with a towel.
Bobby used it to clean the gel off me. “You’ll sleep better propped up a bit. Hugging a pillow will help with discomfort, especially if you have to cough or sneeze.” Bobby pointedly looked at Wyatt. “No sex for a while.”
The corners of Wyatt’s mouth lifted. There was a glint in his eyes that told me he had a response to that, but he didn’t utter a word.
“Waiting until she’s fully healed would be ideal, but most couples don’t wait that long. I’ve broke two ribs before, which has a longer healing period. I was in my late twenties at the time. I lasted two weeks before I had to have my old lady. I bent her right over the couch,” Bobby said.
That was far too much information for me, but Wyatt looked like he was enjoying himself.
“If she,” Bobby emphasized as he pointed at me, “and I mean only if she can’t wait however long it takes for her to fully recover and she feels she can handle it, you do all the work. Try to stick to oral, but if she wants to go all the way, don’t put too much weight on her and no rough stuff.”
If I hadn’t been so stunned, I would’ve felt mortified.
“Do I need to explain the importance of condoms and that if you knock up Bram’s daughter, he will kill you?” Bobby asked.
Wyatt’s smile never wavered. “No, sir.”
“If you’re not the boyfriend, pass that on to Roe or Reid. I can’t tell which one of you is,” Bobby grumbled.
“Understood,” Wyatt said.
Bobby frowned, looking a little disappointed, but moved on after he finished wiping me off. “I’ll be back in a week to remove your sutures.”
Pulling down my shirt, I nodded.
Bobby unplugged the ultrasound machine and rolled it out of the room.
Wyatt helped prop me up with the pillows and found the TV remote on the bedside table. “Why don’t we watch some TV?”
I didn’t care. The pain meds were kicking in, and I just wanted to numbly lie there.
After getting comfortable next to me in the bed, Wyatt found an action movie for us to watch. “Do you need anything?”
I shook my head.
He held out his hand to me. “Want to hold my hand?”
I placed mine in his and closed my eyes.
“Can I give you something before you go to sleep?”
I opened my eyes, meeting his. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace. Not just any necklace, but the bloodstone one Ms. Clark had given me. “I found it under the seat in my car. Roe said you had been looking for it.”
I felt a tug on my soul seeing it again.
“Do you want to put it on?” he asked.
“Yes.”
He helped me while being careful of my tender neck. Once it was on, he gently straightened the pendent and let it drop to my chest. “It’s an interesting stone. I like the red wave that’s swiped through it.”
I picked up the pendant and rubbed it between my fingers. “It was a gift from one of my teachers. She’s into crystals and called it bloodstone. She said it would give me courage and protect me.”
He took my other hand back in his. “I hope it works.”
