Her Second Chance At Love complete

(19) A Trip To The Doctor

Mike’s POV

We drove in a peaceful silence to the doctor’s office.  It wasn't awkward or strange it was comfortable.  I could get used to it and never remembered feeling this way with Charlene or any other woman for that matter.  She was staring out the window remembering something that he couldn’t quite put his finger on but it wasn’t a happy thought judging by the look of sadness on her face.  I knew that the look wasn’t something that I had done so she must be remembering a time with her ex-husband.  I haven’t gotten into too much with her yet about why the doctor made a comment it being a good thing she couldn’t get pregnant.  I was pretty certain either her tubes had been tied or her woman parts were removed.  I was just waiting for her to feel comfortable enough to tell me what she felt I needed to know.  Of course, at some time in the future I would want to know a lot more about her than what I do now but that I knew would come in its due time.  I was excited and nervous at the same time for this doctors’ appointment to happen.  I had made sure she followed the doctors’ instructions to the best of both of our abilities.  By all rights she should be released from her restrictions today.  Which meant big things for us in the bedroom.  I know she was feeling frustrated at not being able to connect in that way but it was for the better in the long run.  But man was she tempting my restraint something terrible.  I don’t know how much longer I can hold out.  The woman is a damn temptress and her new little phrase with me “gasoline and matches baby.”  She follows that with a wink and quick twitch of her hips.  Damn that woman when she is completely better, she is going to see what gasoline and matches do.  They burn hot and wild.

Lisa’s POV

I was remembering another car ride that was in silence once before.  Ray was the one driving me to appointment.  It was a few days after being released from the hospital when the twins were born and everything went so wrong.  It was a long and silent ride as well. I could feel his resentment towards me that day.  After all it was our son or rather to hear him tell it his son that had died not me and not our daughter.  He had wanted a son more than anything.  He had tried to have s*x with me the night before and I had turned him down repeating what the doctor had told me following the tragedy that happened to us.  He was angry with me and told me that it didn't make any sense that I should abstain because it wasn't like I was having any more children anyhow so I wouldn't be messing up any chances of ever getting pregnant again I had already done that.  Those words hurt me more than anything in the world.  I hadn’t done anything wrong; the doctor had told me so.  I tried to explain that there was more to the healing process than that but he didn't want to hear it.  It was at that point that he started making me give him hand jobs and when that didn’t satisfy him anymore, he insisted I use my mouth.  It would make me gag and make sick and he didn’t care.  When I would refuse to use my mouth on him, he would slap me around until I saw it his way.   I had never felt so alone in the complete company of my husband as I had those weeks following the death of our little boy and the loss of my ability to ever have children again.  I thought about the man sitting next to me and how different he was from Ray.  I had practically thrown myself at him and he showed admirable restraint against my advances.  At first, I had thought that he wasn't interested in me that way and wondered what it was that he saw in me.  Why chose me if he didn't want to have s*x with me?  Then that next morning I realized that he did find me attractive he just wanted to make sure I was physically ok for it before acting on it.  He had been in the room when the doctor had put the restrictions on me and he wasn't going to in his words "compromise your health and a lifetime of fun for a few moments of instant gratification."  How funny and how different the two men were.  Ray always insisted that when I slept at night it was in pajamas and the second night Mike had told me that he liked to feel skin.  More importantly he liked to feel my skin next to him.  However, he also mentioned that for the time being maybe I should at least wear a t-shirt to bed to help us keep the temptation at bay a little better.  Just at least until the doctor cleared me.  It thrilled me to no end to know that he wanted me as much as I wanted him.  It also thrilled me to know that he wanted the appointment to go well.  There was a lot riding on this doctor visit for certain.  First and foremost was the fact that I missed my girls something fierce and needed the all clear to take care of them the way only I could as their mother.  Second was the very thing I had just been thinking of.  

Mike’s POV

We arrived at the doctor’s office and I touched her thigh bringing her out of her thoughts.  "Give you a penny for them" I said with a bit of uncertainty in my voice.  She looked at me and smiled.  "I was just thinking about the last time someone drove me to the doctor's office and how different that time was from this time.  I'm not sure how I got so lucky in getting someone like you but I will tell you this maybe later today I will tell you the difference."  I smiled at her and nodded my head.  I gave her a kiss on the cheek and then asked her if she wanted me to come in with her.  She told me that she would love to have me come in with her but at the same time she would rather face this visit alone.  I nodded my head in understanding and told her I would just wait in the car at this time.  She squeezed my hand, kissed me on the cheek and told me she would be back as soon as she could.  I whispered in her ear "good luck" and she got out of the car and made her way into the doctor’s office.  Watching her walk away took some strength because I wanted nothing more than to hold her for all of her days.  This woman had a piece of my heart that I was not going to surrender to anyone else for the rest of my life.  I couldn’t wait to meet her kids and hoped with all my might they liked me.  The one day that I had to leave to attend to some business at one of my restaurants was a hard day for me it was the first time I had left her alone since the attack and I was scared out of my mind something would happen while I was gone.  When I got back, I found her bottle of anxiety meds on the stand next to her and she was fast asleep.  At first my heart dropped because I thought she maybe did the unthinkable.  But then my brain registered that she was just sleeping.  I wondered what had happened to make her take one of those pills when I noticed the caller ID on her phone said she had missed a call from the DA’s office.  Not wanting to disturb her I called them back and ended up talking with the assistant.  Let me tell you he was rude little prick insinuating that maybe she was asking for it.  I hung up on the asshole, called the line to the main office and asked to speak to the DA in person.  I explained to the DA what I had just went through with her assistant and that I had come home to find Lisa passed out on the couch with her anxiety pills next to her.  She must have been very stressed out to take one of those.  The DA informed me that she had, had these kinds of complaints about him before and she would be handling the case from now on.  So at least I knew that after this appointment some little jerk wouldn’t be causing her stress. 

Lisa’s POV

I checked in with the receptionist and took a seat waiting to be called back to the exam room.  I felt better than when I had left the hospital.   So, I hoped that physically it would show the same as I felt.  Before I knew it, I was being called back to the exam rooms and soon it would be my turn to visit with the doctor.  The nurse gave me a gown to put on, asked me a few questions about general health and mental fitness in the last week and left the room telling me that the doctor would be in shortly.  After I got undressed and put on the gown, I sat on the table waiting for the doctor.  In reality I didn’t have to wait long but it felt like an eternity to me.  I was starting to panic and felt myself getting close to tears.  He walked in and gave me a small smile edged with concern.  "How are you doing today my dear?"  I told him I was anxious for this appointment and then started to explain the two reasons I hoped this would go well.  He smiled at me and told me that it sounded like I had some really great motivators for being cleared.  That it sounded as if I had a good man finally.  He remembered Ray calling him and yelling at him after my checkup when we had lost our son.  He was pissed that I was still restricted and I had confided that he had tried several times.  When I told the doctor about all my attempts at seducing Mike the doctor chuckled.  When I told him how Mike kept citing all the reasons why we couldn’t and his orders the doctor smiled fondly at me. “This guy seems to have some restraint and wants the best for you.  I could tell that at the hospital though” my doctor told me.   The man barely left my side while I was unconscious.  "Well then let's take a look and see what is going on and what restrictions can be lifted." He gave me a wink at those last few words.   He had been my doctor since I was a young girl and I trusted him completely.  When the examination was all done, he smiled at me and told me that he saw no reason as to why the girls couldn't come back home.  The girls were all old enough to help out around the house and physically she could help them if she needed to.  Of course, there would be no picking up or lifting of heavy objects for the next several weeks.  I still needed to take it easy when walking for distances and not stress my body too much.  Then the question that weighed on my mind.  He told me that physically I was healed and he saw no reason to keep the restrictions about s*x in place.  I could proceed with caution where s*x was concerned.  He advised me however, that if I felt any discomfort in any way to speak up and tell my partner and to stop for a few days before trying again.  If I experience any bleeding or severe pain, I needed to go to the emergency room right away.  Also, I needed to be careful with my head trauma because getting too excited could potentially cause problems there.  I could live with that.  Tonight, was going to be something.  When I exited the doctor’s office Mike was waiting for me and was watching me closely.  “Well?”  he asked.  I told him that I had been released.  The doctor had said I could have the girls back home and the best news of all we were under a proceed with caution when it comes to s*x.  I told Mike that the doctor said that if I experienced any pain, I was supposed to let me partner know so that we could stop and try again in a few days.  That if I experienced any intense pain or any kind of bleeding, I needed to go to the emergency room.  I also needed to be careful as intense pleasure could cause problems for the brain trauma and if that happens, I needed to get to the ER as quickly as possible as well.  He smiled at me and said “well I realize that the kids won’t be coming home tonight so am I correct in assuming that we are going to give it a go?”  I smiled at him and said “of course. Now we need to make our way to the district attorney so that I can give my statement and get the next part of healing under way.”  With that he grabbed my hand and we walked together towards his car.  He opened the car door for me and waited for me to get in and after he shut my door he walked around the car, got in the drivers seat and then proceeded towards the DA’s office.
