Beth

She woke up in a bed that wasn’t hers.

The lights were off, but it was brighter than her bedroom, illumination from beeping machines and a large glass door seeping into the room.

The bed was small.

The blanket and sheets were hospital grade.

She had tubes and wires hooked up to her.

Had she—

She tried to think back. She’d been in bed with Raph after they’d had sex. Sex that was so fucking incredible and mind-altering, and she’d loved it so much that though she’d been a puddle of limp satiated woman, she’d been trying to summon the energy to attack him again.

To taste him.

To take a ride atop all that yummy hockey player.

To—

“Beth?”

She blinked, turning her head, and even that little bit of movement was painful, as though every single muscle in her body had been used until it was burnt out, like she’d been to the most tortuous fitness class on the planet, and then done it again, just for funsies.

Oh, God.

She stared up into Raph’s bright blue eyes.

“The babies?” she asked.

Or rather, rasped, because fuck, her throat was dry.

Something flittered across his face—relief, anger, fear, she couldn’t tell. But he reached for a pitcher on the rolling table, poured some water into a cup, and opened the straw. “The babies are fine.” He bent the straw and brought it to her mouth, inclining his head to one of the beeping monitors. “That’s watching their heartbeats, and your ultrasound looked great.”

She drank deeply.

Then he set the cup down and lifted a strip of ultrasound pictures from the table, holding them up so she could see.

Her heart skipped a beat.

They were okay.

She was okay.

“What happened?” she whispered.

“I was kind of hoping you could tell me that.”

Pushing her hair back, she tried to weave her way through the fog in her mind. “We were in bed, honey.”

“Yeah.” A gentle prompt.

“And we’d finished…” Her cheeks went hot. “I…it was good. Really good, and I was trying to summon the energy to attack you again.”

That had his lips turning up.

But he didn’t say anything. He just waited for her to speak again, and she did her best to wind her way through the blackness of her memories. What the hell had happened?

“You got stiff, sugarpie,” he said softly. “Then went into the bathroom.”

Her stomach began sinking. “I did.”

“Yeah, honey.”

Shit.

What had she—?

The sliding glass door whirred open, and she jerked her head to the side—and God that hurt—to see Hazel moving into the space, a woman in a pale blue sweater and a badge around her neck trailing behind her.

Oh no.

Now her stomach was twisting itself into knots.

“Raph,” she whispered. “Wh-what happened?”

“Sugar—”

“Raph.” Panic began squeezing her insides. “What did I do to you?”

“Nothing,” he said. “I’m fine.”

This didn’t seem like nothing. Being in a hospital bed with tubes in her hands, machines beeping around her, and Hazel and Raph and the woman with the badge all staring at her in concern. Definitely not nothing. This was—

“Breathe, honey,” Hazel said gently, closing the distance between them and weaving their fingers together.
