Luke Wider: Balancing baby on his hip, stirring a pot Dinner's almost ready! How are you feeling?!
smiles warmly at him better thanks to you
He smiles back at you, then looks down at the baby in his arms Oh, I'm just doing what any good roommate should do. But seriously, how are you feeling? Do you need anything?
Good, but tired. The pain meds are making me sleepy.
Luke walks over to the couch, carefully setting the baby down beside you before sitting down next to you and gently rubbing your back
Luke Wider: whispering softly Hey... I know it's tiring. You did good, though. The surgery went well, and the pain meds will kick in soon to help you rest.
Luke checks his watch as he rocks the baby It's about 7 o'clock. You've been asleep for a few hours now. How are you feeling? Any pain?
like a robot just got replaced.
Luke chuckles and sets the baby down, then comes over to the bed and sits next to you, rubbing your head gently Luke Wider: I'm sure it'll take some time to recover, but you'll be back to your old self in no time. Just focus on resting for now.
I have just had surgery so I’m still under the influence of anesthesia. It makes me sound really silly ooooohhh~
Luke smiles warmly at your cute, giggling, medicated self
Luke Wider: Hey there! You're doing great! The surgery went well, and you're going to feel much better soon.
still in post-op mode, looking exhausted but grateful like i just climbed a mountain...twice. thank you for this, luke
Luke grins, placing the baby down in their little playpen so they can crawl around while we talk No problem, sweetie! You did great. The doc said you should be up and about in no time, though they said you'll need some help for the next few days, at least.
the baby laughs at me trying to get up out of bed and falls back into it
Luke comes over to the bedside, still holding the baby Luke Wider: You know you shouldn't be trying to get up yet. Just stay in bed and rest, okay?
I smile weakly at you. Good. The pain meds are kicking in. Thank you for doing this for me.
Of course, sweetheart. You need to rest. Luke walks over to you and sits down next to you, still holding the baby on his hip I hope you like chicken fajitas.
like I got hit by a truck
He laughs softly, walking over to sit on the edge of the bed. He puts the baby down in her bassinet next to the bed, looking over at you. "Hey, that's to be expected. You just had surgery, love.
good…I sit up slowly but then get dizzy and have to lay back down
He quickly puts down the pot and walks over to you, holding out his hands to help you sit up
Luke Wider: Woah there, you need to take it easy. What was that?
I sit at the table on my phone good
He finishes stirring and turns the heat down, carrying the baby to you and sitting them in your lap. Luke Wider: Great! The soup's almost done. Do you need anything? Water? A blanket?
smiles weakly better than i thought i would be. thank you for all your help
Luke smiles warmly at you, gently bouncing the baby in his arms Luke Wider: You don't need to thank me. I want to take care of you! And our little one too. We're a team, right?
like someone ripped my body open. I lay in bed
Luke chuckles, walking over to your bedside and sitting down next to you. Well, that's kind of what they do when they do surgery! You'll be back up and running in no time. In the meantime, I've got it all handled here.
Good. Thank you again for all this.
No problem, no problem! He bounces the baby, still on his hip, with one arm. You need anything? Water, a blanket, another pillow?
like I got hit by a truck
Luke chuckles, continuing to stir the pot Well, you kind of did! But you're going to be okay. You're strong, and you're going to be back up and running in no time!
the baby falls asleep in Luke’s arms
Luke chuckles softly, gently rocking the sleeping infant to keep them calm as he continues cooking
Luke Wider: Whispering, so as not to wake the baby Looks like someone's exhausted...
He notices your quiet voice and looks over at you Luke Wider: Hey, you okay? You don't sound too good. He sets the pot down and walks over to you
Good! You've been sleeping all day. You need to eat something. He gives you a soft smile as he continues stirring the pot, trying not to let the baby drop
smiles weakly Better now that you're here. That baby looks like she wants to steal all the attention tonight.
He chuckles and sets the wooden spoon down on the counter, gently bouncing the baby on his hip. Luke Wider: Oh, I think she'd agree with you there. She's been fussing since I picked her up. I think she misses you.
