Chapter 15

I’ve just found out that the splinters in her ass weren’t during consensual anal sex.  I’m furious that a man would stick something that could potentially harm his partner inside them.  I text Chris with the new information about what caused the abscess since we all knew that she had been subjected to violent non consensual sex.  In turn he had contacted Detective Green and asked her about how long she had to press charges since it had almost killed her.  Unfortunately, the amount of time to report it had passed.

A couple of days pass and I can start to smell my own funk, so while she’s showering I quickly head down to the gift shop and grab some clothes as well as something special for Lilly.  They didn’t have any trimmers in the gift shop, so straight razor it’s going to be, I hope that Lilly is okay with me shaving my whole beard off.  Thankfully they have my deodorant.  I pay for the things and head back up to her room.  She’s still knocked out so I quietly jump in the shower and clean up while she’s asleep.

The days have turned into a week and my watch commander is being very lenient with all the time that I’ve missed, but he knows that I don’t really need the money.  It’s giving another officer who needs it the time to get some overtime pay.  The nurse shows us how to change the colostomy bag and tells us that Lilly has some goals to meet before she can be discharged.  One of them is to be able to change her colostomy bag without help, as well as walk to the nurses station and back.  Once these and some other goals are met they will release her.

It’s been two days since the nurse showed us how to change the colostomy bag and Lilly is taking it in stride.  I decide to hit the shower while she’s awake since she’s getting her energy back and not sleeping all day long.  I’m rinsing off when I hear the nurse come in and is struggling helping her back into the bed.  I quickly wrap the towel around my waist and come out to find that she was trying to do a marathon today while I was showering.  I help the nurse get her back into her bed and before I head back into the bathroom to get redressed I give her a piece of my mind.

“I’m not like you’re ex, but for us to make this work, you’ve got to let me help you.  I’m not going to force you to do anything you don’t want to do, but I love your son and I love you.  Not having the two of you in my life would really kill me.  I was a wreck when they told me you needed surgery.  I even told them that I was your fiancee’ so that I could manage your care.  Oh, and just so you don’t think of pulling a stunt like that again just to get discharged early I put you and Luke on my insurance.  Okay Lillybear.”

“Lillybear?”

“Yes you’re my Lillybear.”

The next day I decided when the nurse came in to help her with her daily shower I would be the one to help her.  The only way I’m going to show her how much I care is to help her in every way a boyfriend or husband should.  Once she gets Lilly in the shower and situated on the stool I tell her that I’m going to join my wife in the shower and help her today.  She acknowledges that I’m going to help Lilly and goes straight to making the bed.

I go into the bathroom and strip down.  I’ve thrown my underwear away a few days ago since the gift shop doesn’t carry underwear.  I’ve been going mando commando for several days, not like I hadn’t done it before.  I open the shower curtain and Lilly sees me in all of my nakedness.  I’m not shy, but the way she’s eyeballing me tells me that she likes what she sees.  I help her wash her back and her legs since bending down is a problem at the moment.  I wash her hair gently and when we are done showering I help her to dry off and put on the clean hospital gown that the nurse placed in the bathroom when she was helping get Lilly into the shower.  Once she’s dressed I wrap a towel around my waist and help Lilly back into the bed, then I go into the bathroom and get dressed in the cleanest clothes that I have.  I’m going to have to burn these clothes when I get back home.

Two more days pass before Lilly attempts to walk to the nurses station and back.  She’s been taking it easy since the last time and made sure that I was with her every time she went for a walk down the hall.  I’ve been encouraging her every step of the way.  Today I am cheering her on and we’ve already made it halfway down the hall.  I’m sure that by the end of the week they’re going to release her.  I’ve even been helping empty her colostomy bag and she just can’t seem to wrap her mind around it, she’s so used to doing everything by herself.
