Ch. 21 Teddy's Dilemma

Ana’s POV

I hand Teddy over to Grace. Sawyer is a few steps behind me. Teddy is taken to a hospital room. His face is swollen around his left eye, and forehead.  He cannot open his left eye due to the swelling. 

Grace asks me, “Ana have you been outside today?” Why would she ask me that?

I am about to answer her when Christian plunges into the room. He looks distraught. His hair is a mess. He has been running his hands through it.  He takes a look at Teddy and blurts out, “What the hell happened to him? He looks like he was beat up!” 

I walk closer to him and touch his arm. “Christian we don’t know yet. I am sure he will get the best care possible with Grace. Please let Grace, the doctors, and nurses do their job. He will be fine.”  I hope I convinced him that Teddy will be okay, because I really don’t know if he will be. I just want to calm him down so he doesn’t interfere with the hospital staff trying to help our son.

What I said seemed to quiet him down. I turn to Grace so I can answer her question. “We were outside in the backyard this morning. Why did you ask me that question?”

She answers me, “I think he got bit by some sort of insect in which he is allergic to. Let me show you.” She points to one little hole in the eye and forehead area. I see it. They are so tiny. I have no idea if he is allergic to any insect. We will have to take him to a specialist after we get through this.

We stand behind Grace as she examines his face. She presses the bulging skin asking Teddy if it hurts. He nods his head side to side. It doesn’t hurt him. At least my little baby is not in pain.

She tells us, “Since he is not feeling any pain when I touch it, it is not too bad at this point. I still want to make sure his vision won’t get impaired because of the swelling. I want him to have x-ray done to check his eye. I will have someone take him to the x-ray in a few minutes. You two can go with him.”

Grace leaves us alone in the room. Christian hugs and kisses me. He holds his hands against his heart while telling me,” “Oh baby, I was so worried when you called me earlier. It hurts me right here when our little boy gets hurt.”

“Me too, baby. I was so scared and worried when I first saw his face. I am happy it is not that serious. I still want to have him checked by an allergist to see if he is allergic to anything. I don’t want this to happen again.”  I say to him.

He holds my hands and says, “Baby, I wish I could take all your worries away. I would give you the world if that is what I have to do, but I know when it comes to Teddy there is not much we can do. I agree with you, my love. I will ask my mom which allergist she recommends to take Teddy to. I will make an appointment as soon as possible once he is released from the hospital. I also don’t want his face or anywhere else on his little body to get swollen.”

Kate, Elliot, and Ava make their appearance. Kate comes over and hugs me. “How is he doing Ana?”

“He seems to be okay for now. Grace has scheduled for an x-ray for him. After that we should know more. I am sorry our lunch date was cut short. I will make it up to you. We can have a me day without the kids at a spa. What do you think?”

“I would love that Ana. Hey, it is not your fault it was cut short. Teddy’s health takes precedence over it. I would do the same if it was Ava. I am so relieved Teddy is okay. Hang in there my friend. I will be here for you if you need anything.”

Aww! Kate is so sweet! I hugged her to show her how much I value our friendship.

Grace walks in the with the x-ray specialist. Christian and I follow them to the x-ray room. He takes the x-rays of Teddy’s eye. Teddy is so well behaved during it. I am so impressed. That is my boy!

We are back in the hospital room within 10 minutes. Dr. Andre placed the x-ray sheets in front of a lighted wall.  He examined them. After he was done he turned around to us and said, “It looks like the eye will not be impacted. Once the swelling goes down, his eye will be back to normal. He will not have any vision problems. I have seen many types of inflammation and from my estimation it looks like a mosquito bite. This little guy might me allergic to mosquitoes. I will give him some Benadryl and Cortizone to reduce the swelling. I want to keep him in here for a few hours to make sure the inflammation goes down.  If it does decrease, you can go home. At home give him Benadryl and Cortizone every four hours for one week by mouth. If it doesn’t decrease then we will have to keep him overnight. Okay?” He hands us a prescription for Cortizone.

We both nod at the doctor. Grace reassures us by saying, “Ana and Christian, it will be okay. With the medicine it will go down. Trust me. I have to attend to other patients, but I will be back soon to check on Teddy.”

Christian walks to the hallway to inform Kate, Elliot, Cary, Mia, Ethan, Taylor, and Sawyer of Teddy’s condition.

Christian’s POV

I tell Kate, my family, Taylor, and Sawyer, “Teddy will be okay. His inflammation should go down in a few hours. He has to be on medication for one week. His eye will be fine.” Their faces eased up from the tension of our ordeal.

I am so proud of my strong little boy. He has not fussed once when he is being pronged and pinched by the doctors. I feel as if a weight has been lifted when Dr. Andre said he will recover with no side effects. The only thing that disturbed me was when he was eyeing my wife. I saw him glance at her a few times checking her out. She is mine!  I will be the only one who will touch and pleasure her. 

Teddy’s face looks so bad. The inflammation will fucking reduce or else some heads will be chopped in this hospital. I will become more than furious.

My extraordinarily beautiful wife has been supportive, nurturing, and strong throughout the situation. She has kept her head help up high for Teddy’s and my sake, but I know she is hurting inside. I can read her like a book.  I sit next to her on the bed and hold her hand. Teddy is holding Ana’s hand.  

All I want to do right now is fuck my wife so I feel in control again. After a long day of work, fucking my wife every night comforts me. I must get these thoughts out of my head or else I may just take my wife to an empty room and fuck her senseless.

After a Few Hours

Ana’s POV

The doctor comes into our room. He examines Teddy’s face for the third time in the past few hours.  Dr. Andre lets us know he is happy with Teddy’s progress. The swelling has gone down.  He leaves us alone in the room. I am so overjoyed to hear the news Dr. Andre told us. I can tell Christian is also happy. He has a megawatt smile on his face. We hug each other.

I will call Kate to let her know we are going home soon. She went home a little while ago with Elliot and Ava. Cary, Mia, Ethan also left early. I pick up my phone and dial her. After the third ring she picks up.

“Hi Ana.”

“Hi Kate”

She asks me, “How is Teddy?”

I answer her, “He is doing much better. We are going home soon.”

“I am so happy Ana.”

“Me too Kate. I have to go. We will talk later.”

“Okay, bye Ana. Talk to you later. Laters”

“Laters, Kate.”

Grace joins us once I hang up the phone with Kate. He told her the great news.

Grace informs us, “Ana and Christian, Teddy will be discharged in about 15 minutes.  I already called Cary to let him know.”

Christian says, “About time we leave this place! Mom do you recommend an allergist for Teddy?”

Grace answers, “I have a few good ones, but there is one I really like. His name is Dr. Raul Lunn. I will give you his information tomorrow. I just want you to get Teddy home so all three of you can rest. I will be by the house tomorrow to check on Teddy.” She kisses us both on the cheek and leaves the room.

Once we are discharged we head home. When we arrive home Christian takes Teddy out of his car seat. We walk into the house with Sawyer and Taylor keeping an eye out for suspicious activities. 

We enter the house and head towards Teddy’s room. Christian places him gently on his bed. The Benadryl knocked him out.

We stroll hip to hip to our bedroom. In our bedroom I take off my clothes and put on my teddy pajamas. Christian is watching me like a hawk as I am undressing.  He already has no clothes on.  I look down towards his torso and someone is already excited.

“Mr. Grey, do you like what you see?”

He grabs his pecker while saying, “Mrs. Grey, I do like what I see. This guy right here also likes it.”

“Mr. Grey, I know of a way to make the pecker happy. Come here.”

He hurries over to me.  He presses his body against mine and kisses me passionately leading us to get lost in each other.

After our love making, we fall asleep.
