"How's our babies?" I asked Wyatt who's talking to Ate Cara. "How's our babies, Wyatt."
"Love, you're awake." He said as he walked towards me. He looked like he didn't sleep at all. "They're fine. You guys are fine."
"Did you sleep?" I asked him and he shook his head, which made me sighed. "You didn't sleep. Today is your day off."
"I slept a bit last night, love. My day off was yesterday." He said that means today is his day off too. "I'm taking over, Graciella." He said and even though he didn't say where I immediately knew and shook my head. "Jaxon and Pia are also taking over your surgeries to keep your whole week free. After this rest you can go back to work."
"I can handle the surgeries myself, love." I said to him but he shook his head and looked at Ate Cara who's glaring at me. "Let me, love. Then next week we'll go on vacation. We didn't even enjoy our honeymoon." I said and pouted.
"We've been husband and wife for four days now, love but I didn't even sleep beside you." He said and pouted then we both chuckled. "We'll go home today and sleep at home. We didn't get to celebrate Christmas this year."
"We'll just celebrate the new year together. Just the two of us." I said to him and smiled. "I'm sure I have less than 10 surgeries pending. I'll perform some of them."
"You have 6. Pia, Jaxon and I have two today so you won't have to do anything." He said so I shook my head and stood up. "Where are you going?"
"I'll change into my scrubs. I'll take over Pia's." I said and removed my dextrose carefully before walking out of the room. The staff greeted me so I greeted them back. I went to my office and changed into my scrubs. "Tell me the details about Pia's surgeries." I said to Wyatt when I saw him sitting at my sofa but he didn't answer me. "Fine, I'll just take yours. You need sleep, my love."
"And you need rest, my love." He said, which made me roll my eyes. "But do you really want to?" He asked so I nodded. "Then I'll assist you."
We did what Wyatt said and now we're at our 2nd surgery. "Let's change position." Wyatt said when I stopped for a second. "Graciella, let's change position." He said but I didn't mind him and continued. We finished it successfully and when we got out of the OR he talked to the family while I sat on the chair because my back is hurting. "I'll do the rest, love." He said to me so I shook my head. I somewhat convinced him to let me work with my patients so I have 4 more surgeries. "I'll take over, Graciella."
"No." I said to him and stood up. I sat on my chair facing the monitor and typed, while Wyatt just sat on the sofa. "Ah." I groaned as I stretched and he looked at me. "What, love?"
"I'll take over." He said so I shook my head. "I'll take over or I won't sleep beside you tonight. You chose, Graciella."
"You won't sleep beside me tonight? Alright." I said and stood up and he did the same. He followed me back to the OR and we scrubbed together. "I'm doing it."
"Yeah, sure." He said and nodded. We started the surgery but in the middle of it I could feel my back again and he just watched me. "Continue, Dr. Solis." He said so I did but I stopped again when I felt my back again. "Let's switch, Graciella." He said and walked to my side without waiting for my approval. I let him take over.
"Let's switch back, Dr. Hudgens." I said but he didn't let me until we finished the surgery and this time I was the one who talked to the patient's family. Like usual we went to my office and I did the paperwork then went back to the surgery. "I'm the one that was tasked to do this so don't take over if you won't switch back." I said to him and rolled my eyes.
We started the surgery and it was smooth but after it my back hurts like hell so I let him talk to the patient's family. "Dr. Solis, you still have two more surgeries. Don't just sit there." He said and gave me a wide smile. "I may be cool about this, Graciella. But I swear you won't be able to work if something happens to the four of you." He said—no it was a threat and I know he's serious about it.
"I need to finish my work. Excused me." I said to him and then I walked away. I heard him sighed but I didn't mind him anymore but he did follow me back to my office. "Tell me what you want, Chastille."
"I want you to rest." He said and sighed. "Don't work like this. You can't even stand for so long."
"Let me work until I'm 20 weeks pregnant." I said and he rolled his eyes. "I thought you won't stop me from working even if I'm pregnant? Where's the Wyatt I talked to?"
"The situation is different." He said which made me roll my eyes. "If you're carrying a single baby then I can let you work but you're carrying three, my love."
"It's fine, love. I can handle it and besides I don't have many patients for the next 2 months." I said and he chuckled. "Why are you chuckling? I'm telling the truth. The last time I checked I have a lot but now I don't."
"Well guess what." He said and chuckled, while I sighed. I know where this is going. "I told your secretary to pass your patients to me." He said, which made me throw my pen to him.
"You're fucking busier than me then you did that?" I asked him and he didn't look at me. "Love naman. How am I supposed to spend time with you now?"
"That's not a problem, love. I have a day off." He said, which made me pouted. A day won't be enough. "Is that done? It's time to go." He said and stood up so I did. "How's your back?" He asked as we walked to the OR. He's holding my waist and I know everyone that we meet was looking at his hand. "You'll do it?"
"Yeah. I'll switch if I can't." I said and he nodded.
"I requested a chair. I'll follow your orders this time." He said so I nodded. We scrubbed then went inside the OR. We have a resident surgeon with us now and she's assisting me. Wyatt was watching, waiting for me. "What is it, Graciella?" He asked when I stopped.
"My back hurts but I can still manage." I said and continued what I'm doing and stopped when I couldn't really handle how uncomfortable it was. "Can you take over?" I asked and he immediately took over. I sat on the chair and watched them until they finished.
After the surgery I talked to the patient's family before Wyatt and I went back to my office. "Can you rest for the last one? I'll handle it. It'll be fast." He said so I just nodded. I laid on the bed and groaned when I felt comfortable. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I'll just wait here." I answered him then looked at him and pouted when I saw that he looked like he wasn't believing me. "I'm letting you. My back really hurts. I need to rest."
"Alright. Sleep for a while. I'll wake you up when we're going home." He said and kissed me, which made me close my eyes and kiss back.
"Wow. Kissing at the office." I heard Pia say and Jaxon chuckled but Wyatt and I didn't stop. "What time is it? Isn't it time for a surgery?"
"Fuck. I need to go, love." He said when he pulled away then kissed me in my forehead. "I'll be back. I love you." He said before walking away. Jaxon was laughing while Pia walked to me.
"How are you feeling? Your belly looks bigger than mine." She said and sat on the bed. "You just woke up earlier and here you are."
"Are you pregnant with twins, Reese?" Jaxon asked so I shook my head. "Then why does your bump look so big?"
"Wyatt and I didn't tell you that I'm pregnant with triplets? I must have slipped our minds." I said and chuckled when I saw their shock reactions. "You guys should go home."
"What? We're going to your house." Jaxon said so I shook my head. "Why? Do you guys have plans?"
"Yeah." I answered him even though we don't have one. I just really want to be alone with Wyatt.
"Then we'll just eat dinner somewhere." Pia said so I nodded. "I thought Chase and you will be drinking, Jaxon?"
"Yeah. He asked me a while ago." He said which made my eyes widen. "What's wrong, Reese?"
"Nothing." I said and just kept quiet. I slept and they stayed at my office until Wyatt arrived.
"Love, let's go." Wyatt said so I stood up. "We'll eat dinner then go home." He said so I nodded. We rode with Jaxon and Pia since Wyatt doesn't have his car.
"Are we still drinking, Chase?" Jaxon asked Wyatt, which made me cough because I remembered what I said earlier. "Reese said that you guys have plans."
"What plan do we have tonight, love?" He asked teasingly and chuckled. "You want me alone? I can cancel."
"No, you guys can go drink. I'll just sleep." I said and shook my head. "I just thought that you don't have plans for tonight that's why I said that." I explained and Jaxon and Pia laughed.
"I can cancel my plans, love. Tell me what you want to do tonight. We'll do it." He said and I looked at him with so much affection and he shook his head. "No. We're resting tonight, Graciella." He said, which made me chuckle.
"I didn't say anything, Wyatt." I said and chuckled. "But if you want, we can do it."
"Do you want to get so tired?" He asked me so I nodded. "Love, you're unbelievable." He said, which made me chuckle then pressed my face on his chest.
We ate dinner before we went to our penthouse. We will be moving to our house soon but for now we're still in our penthouse.
"This is our first night as husband and wife here, love." I said to him and he nodded. "Do you want to do something spicy? We didn't enjoy our honeymoon."
"Do you want to lose your voice?" He asked and chuckled. "If you want then we can do it. I won't stop fucking until morning."
"Shut the fuck up, Chastille." I said and slapped his arm, while Pia and Jaxon chuckled. "It's just you and Jaxon, love?" I changed the topic.
"No, I called the boys." Jaxon said and Wyatt looked at him. "It's boring if we drink alone."
"That means Bethany is coming and I'm going to spend the night with the baby." I said excitedly and looked at Wyatt who seemed not pleased by the idea. "You can drink until morning."
"No, I want to fuck you until morning." He said and chuckled. "You wanted this. I'll just give it to you." He said but in the end it didn't happen because Belle and Gael are in our room. "Love, I want to sleep. Tell them to leave." He said, which made me chuckle.
"'Di pa kayo tapos uminom, love. Continue drinking." I said to him and he shook his head. "Love, I thought you'd drink until morning?"
"I didn't say that I'd drink. I say I'd fuck you until morning." He whispered firmly and held my waist. "Let's go to our secret room." He said, which made me chuckle. "I finally found a way to use it."
"I don't want to do it there. They'll hear me." I said and he chuckled. "What's funny?"
"We'll sleep there tonight. I won't do it with all of them here." He said then carried me.
