Psycho - Headless Horsemen MC novel Chapter 66

- Jax -

It's been almost an hour since I left Harley in that stupid fucking room, I shouldn't have gone, I'm such a fucking idiot. I look over to our son in the incubation chamber, he looks so small and fragile, Gunner and Shelby's kids didn't look this small, at all. He's got a million tubes coming out of his poor little body and something in his mouth helping him breathe.

It hurts to see him like this, not being able to touch him or kiss him, not knowing what's happening with my wife, not knowing anything really. All I was told was that he needs to be in there and I will be informed more once Harley's out of surgery. My phone's been ringing off the hook but I can't stop staring at this baby, my son, our son.

"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME" I hear Harley yell from down the hall, I swing open the door and look in the direction that her voice came from. I spot her storming down the hallway being chased by nurses and doctors ripping the needles and drips out of her arms as she goes throwing to the floor behind her, she sees me and starts running, now I know she's in pain because she was just ripped open like a kid in a Freddie Kruger dream but it doesn't stop her.

She runs into my arms and I hold onto her as tightly as I can, "Where is he?" Is he okay?" She looks up at me with tears pooling in her eyes. The doctors and nurses catch up with her "Mam we need you to rest, you've just had major" The doctor starts but Harley stares daggers at him, "I said I was fine, so I'm fine. I'm going to see my son and then I will rest, test me again and I'm going to let my dogs onto you" She grits through her teeth before dragging both of us into the room.

The room's dark only being lit up by the lights in the incubator, she stops dead in her tracks when she spots the small body laying in the machine. I walk forward towards the crib but she stands still like a deer caught in headlights, I slowly pull her towards me her feet shuffling along the floor as she inches closer. Once she's right up against the machine I walk to her back and pull her into my chest "Look at him" She whispers staring down at our boy.

"He's beautiful" I hum in her ear resting my chin on her shoulder, "He's... perfect" She replies quietly. We just stand there quietly, in each other's embrace, looking at our son. The doctor walks in pulling us from our little bubble, "Good evening Mr and Mrs Jones. My names Doctor Nash, I'm sorry I wasn't able to formally introduce myself before" He says holding a clipboard in his hands, "I'm sorry for saying I was going to kill you" Harley says still staring down at our son.

"No need Mam, you have had an eventful day. Now the plan is to get a bed in here for you and your husband to stay in until you get discharged. But unfortunately, your son won't be able to leave with you so soon, he's going to be here for another 6-8 weeks until he is classed full-term or shows us that he's ready to leave. He's got some jaundice but that should go away after a while, we will monitor that and make sure he is improving".

"He's also got 3 holes in his heart but that is also common and goes away on its own, if they don't close up he may need surgery in the future to close them. He has passed his hearing test and has been given all of his vaccinations and needles like you asked us too, for now, you two rest up, the dinner cart should be making rounds soon. Make sure you rest Mrs Jones, it's important for you and the baby".

"When can we hold him?" She asks finally turning around to look at the doctor, "We will see how he is tomorrow if he's doing well it can be tomorrow for a first proper feed. Remember to use the electric breast pump to bring your milk in, every 2-3 hours for 10 minutes on each breast, once more milk comes in the longer it will take. You're going to want to stock up as much as you can, and we can do a needle feed once you have enough, a nurse will come in about an hour from now to check how you're going and give you some pain medication".

Harley nods her head and turns back to look at the incubation crib, "If you need anything ask for me, I'll be on shift for the next 14 hours" I thank him and watch as he leaves the room, "Do you think doc could bring him home with us?" She asks looking over her shoulder at me. "I don't know kitten, we will have to ask when we see him next" I answer truthfully, she slowly nods her head and turns back around. There's a knock on the door and 2 nurses push in a large bed with extra sheets, blankets and pillows stacked on it. They quickly leave the room after setting up everything that needed to be set up, I look down at my phone to check the time just as Shark Eye's calls me, I kiss Harley on the side of the head and walk out the door and into the hallway answering it.

"What the fucks going on"? His voiced filled with worry, "It's a long story but she had the baby, he's not in great shape but he's not in bad shape either" I sigh looking down at the floor infront of me. "How is she?" He asks nervously, "Honestly? I'm not sure. The birth was pretty fucking traumatic and now this on top, I don't know how much longer it's going to be before she snaps" I say finally raising my eyes to the wall infront of me.

"Good luck to whoever the bastard may be that feels her wrath" He tries to joke and it somewhat works, "As long as it's not me I don't give a fuck who it is" This time he laughs in response. "Betty wants to know if she wants visitors" I sigh and push myself off the wall I was leaning on walking back into the room "Hold on I'll ask". I walk over to her and put my phone on mute sliding it into my pocket, "Kitten your Dad and Betty want to know if they can come and see you".
