process of questioning is ludicrous. “I stand by my first answer,” I let her know.
“So, on a scale of one to ten, how’s your pain level?” she further inquires.
“Seven, but don’t even think about giving me anything that will knock me back out,” I inform her. “I know how hospital stays work, and I’ll use my call button when I need you or any meds, please and thank you.” My words come off short and quick, but I really need a moment with Rogue and this woman is prolonging that.
“Alrighty then. You just let me know what you need. I do have to inform your doctor that you’re awake now, though,” she finishes.
“That’s fine,” I offer, hoping this will be all for now. She smiles at Rogue before exiting the room. I swear if I had the strength, she’d no longer have any teeth to smile at anyone with.
Rogue
Nearly losing Bella brought things into perspective for me. Although I know that more understanding and forgiveness will come over time, personally, I couldn’t imagine living the rest of this life without her being a part of it.
I feel Bella squeeze my hand. “I know my sins aren’t just going to get swept under the table, and I am okay with that,” she begins, but I don’t want her to think or worry about any of this right now.
“Stop, please,” I issue, “you’re right, but at least I, we, still have you in our lives to muddle our way through this with. Bella, I need you to understand that while I may not ever completely be able to wrap my mind around why you felt the need to hide my son from me, I do believe it when you tell me it wasn’t done with malice. As difficult as it is for me to say, in your mind, you did what you felt was necessary for all involved. Doesn’t make it right or wrong. It does, however, make it a part of the past that we cannot change at this point. I’ve come to the conclusion as I’ve watched you lay here fighting, that there’s not a damn thing I can do now to change it. I can be bitter and angry all I want; those feelings won’t redo the past. Or I can choose to begin now, making all the memories with you and him that I can. And I am consciously making the decision to move forward. Now, I’m not saying or promising that I might not have a bad day or ten in the future, I’m simply asking for you to be understanding of me if and when this happens.”
Her eyes become glossy as tears well up in them. “That’s all I want, all that I ask. Of course, there’s still the matter of the paternity test. And I think we can both agree that it’s your right to know for certain,” she explains through a now quivering chin.
With my free hand, I lean down beside, retrieving the manilla file and placing it across her lap. “The proof is right there in black and white.” She opens the folder and I watch her eyes light up at her findings. “If you’re curious as to why there are two I can tell you that when our son showed up in California, Gunner took him under his wing and performed an extensive background check. His suspicions were confirmed when he was able to obtain a DNA sample from me during our last visit there. While that, combined with what my heart already felt to be true when I looked at him; I still needed to go through the process myself. So, as I said, I used my own connections here at the hospital while you were out. Yes, he is my son, my flesh and blood, Bella.”

Rogue
Six Months Later
Bella is sitting in front of me, naked except for her new cut declaring her officially as my old lady. Her thighs are spread as wide as she can get them as I feast on her pussy. I have her spread out like a buffet on the kitchen table, I’m intensely enjoying this all you can eat menu. “Rogue,” she hisses out as she tosses her head back into the unforgiving block. Even the crack of her head hitting the slab of wood doesn't deter me from enjoying the sweetness of her nectar.
“Mmmm,” I mumble into her clit as she shifts beneath me. I lift up my arms from their resting place
