Chapter
Thirty-Nine
The next two hours had Desiree telling Max to settle down and that she was alright. He was getting pissy that the doctors were taking forever to deal with her wounds.
She had to apologize to the nurses and remind her husband she was okay and that her wounds were superficial and that she would be healed in a few days.
“Ms. Lewis, I have to say congratulations are in order. Your blood work came back positive for pregnancy. You’re lucky the brawl you were in didn’t cause you to miscarry. You’re free to go home but will be on bed rest for the next three weeks. That includes no sexual activity.”
“It’s Mrs. Blackwell.” Max grumbled at the doctor before stopping the rest of what he had to say and looked at the doctor in shock.
“I’m sorry, did you say that my wife was pregnant and the baby is still good for now?” Max repeated slowly as if he was afraid he’d heard wrong.
“Correct. Your wife is okay for now. I want her on bed rest for the next two to three weeks and then she can meet with her primary care and the OBGYN that she chooses before she comes off of it or resumes sexual activity.”
Max looked over at his wife, his world. She was pregnant with his baby…their baby.
Desiree had tears coming down her face as she looked at Max, waiting for his response. When he walked over to her bed, she let out a squeak when he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
“Thank you, doctor. She will be on bed rest for the next three weeks. We’ll set up those appointments right away. Thank you so much.”
Max shook the doctor’s hands and then went back to Desiree. His world just got better.
“You’re not going to be caveman bossy, are you? Cause if you are, I’m leaving.” Desiree quirked an eye at him.
“You go anywhere other than our bed, I’ll tan that sexy ass and then tell Jose, Tiny, and Teddy and they will be on guard duty. You know those three are going to take uncle duties very seriously.”
Well fuck, she was screwed. Four domineering bossy men who would make her pregnancy literally miserable for the next nine months.
Maybe she could pay Andrea, Iris, and some of the other women to walk naked in front of the men so she could escape? Okay, well only her three brothers.
She’d stab a bitch if they walked naked in front of Max. He was only allowed to see her naked.
It took nearly forty-five minutes after that for her to be released after the doctor ordered a sonogram to verify that everything was okay with the baby. Once she got home, all she wanted was a nice hot shower and to snuggle with her man for the next several days.
“Hey, Ivy, are you, okay?” Jose asked as he sat down next to Andrea.
Andrea looked up from her phone, taking a few minutes to realize that Jose had spoken to her. “Um, yeah. Sorry, lots on my mind. Congrats on becoming an uncle by the way.”
“Thanks. You on for tonight?” Jose asked, staring down at her.
“Um, no, not tonight. I’m going to head home and grab a hot shower and head to bed. Got an early day tomorrow.”
Jose watched as Andrea walked away. He was tired of the friends with benefits bullshit she threw his way.
He was claiming her and he was going to have fun breaking through that fucking concrete wall she had built up around her. Let the games begin.
