“Dear God,” I mutter. “Bullet, please don’t kill him,” I say sweetly to the now pissed off looking biker. “He’s overtired, and so overcome with worry he’s obviously not thinking clearly.”
“Bullshit,” Torque coughs loudly.
Bullet eyes me for a moment even as Zeb barks out a laugh. “Good to know even in a hospital bed you’re still sassy,” Zeb jokes. He grins at Bullet. “No harm meant, man. Your wife is gorgeous, but it’s clear she only wants you or she wouldn’t be baiting you so badly.”
Bullet nods. “She’s aiming for a spanking,” he drawls lazily, giving Rose a heated look. Rose blows him a kiss in response.
“I’m going to be in that hospital bed with Izzy if you don’t cut it out,” Torque growls at his parents.
The door opens and Medic comes in. “Alright, everyone out. My patient needs her rest before we take her down for her scans. You can all come back in a couple of hours. That includes you,” he says when Torque opens his mouth to argue. “She’ll be fine, and Viper is going to come and guard her door. No one’s getting past him, and no one will get past me while I have her either.”
Torque still looks like he wants to argue. I reach up and grab his hand. “I’ll be fine,” I promise him. “Go deal with whatever you need to and I’ll see you later.”
“Can she go home today?” Torque asks.
Medic nods. “As long as we see nothing on her tests, and her vitals stay the same, she can go home.”
“I’ll get you some things, honey,” Rose promises, leaning down to hug me. “We’ll be back soon.”
“Behave,” Zeb orders me, before reaching forward to hug me. “And don’t you ever scare me like that again,” he adds softly.
I chuckle. “I’ll try not to,” I promise, hugging him back.
Bullet takes Rose’s hand and says to me, “Viper is already outside the door so if you need him just holler. Got it?”
“I heard my name,” Viper says, sticking his head in. He winks at me. “Don’t worry, Izzy, you and I will get into plenty of trouble while these guys are gone. We’ll have these nurses in stitches before we leave.”
“More like they’ll be stitching him,” Medic mutters.
I chuckle. Torque leans down and kisses me. “I’ll be back in a bit,” he whispers. “Love you, baby.”
“Love you too,” I say softly. It still sounds weird, but my belly flutters a bit when he winks at me.
Torque looks at Zeb. “You have a hotel you’re staying at?”
Zeb nods. “You going to drive me there or do I need to walk?”
Torque smirks. “Depends. Are you going to piss me off enough to make you walk?”
“Probably.”
“You can ride with us, handsome,” Rose says.
“No he can’t,” Bullet barks, propelling her out of the room, making her laugh.
