Chapter 333

Richie hung back for a while, thinking out a lame excuse just to give the new parents some time alone.

Cheyenne was almost as white as the sheets she lay on. Life giving blood dripped into her veins, Jon felt a shiver down his spine thinking about he pain Cheyenne had endured and is still going to endure until she recovers from the c-section.

Her eyes were closed when he walked in, so he tiptoed towards the bed not wanting to wake her up.

He must have fallen asleep because a soft touch in his hair woke him up. He was laying with his head on the bed, holding her hand. Her fingers raked through his hair lovingly. Her touch felt like coming home after a long ardous tour, warm and welcoming.

“Hey you.”

“Hey baby. How’s my lady doing? Do I need to call a sister, are you uncomfortable?”

“Nope, I just fine…now that you are here…”

She smiled at him and a warmth flooded him. God how he loved this woman!

He gave her an update about the twins and she seemed happy that they were coping well on their own.

A nurse came in with a humungous bouquet , following by another nurse with a babyhamper, balloons tied to it with it’s a boy and it’s a girl printed on it and another hamper for Cheyenne.

Richie followed with a sheepish grin.

“I went a little shopping. The new mama and babies need some serious pampering!”

“O Rich! Thank you so much.”

He leaned forward, touching her carefully, scared he might hurt her.

“Im not made of porcelein you know!”

“I know that but I really don’t want to cause you any more discomfort or pain. You have had enough.”

Jon brought the hampers closer.

It was packed with baby products, toys, baby clothes etc. Hers was a voucher for a total body message and all the treatments she could think of. Perfume, body lotions and bath oils completed the hamper.

“Its beautiful thank you Rich.”

“My pleasure darlin’. Its my way to say congrats to you and the not so new daddy over here.”

Jon smiled but couldn’t resist to flip him the bird, Richie slapped a cigar in his hand.

Jon’s phone started ringing off the hook.

“Hey ma!”

Oh shit formed on his lips the moment her realised he had forgotten to let his mom know.

Richie just smiled at him, giving him the thumbs up and Jon sighed a sigh of relieve.

“Yeah the babies are doing just great, I am with Cheyenne at the moment. No…no she is doing great…lots of feeling good meds at the moment , so she is on top of the world. He winked playfully at her.

After a lengthy conversation he closed the phone.

“Fuck Rich! I totally forgot to call everyone. You saved my ass there bro! “

“I knew you had too much to handle so I called your mom, Stace , Tic and Dave. Oh yeah Obie too.”

Jon slapped him on the shoulder.

“Thanx bud, what will I ever do without you?”

“Uuuummmmmm…die of patheticness?”
