Chapter 57
Saturday - afternoon
********************
James was lying down on top of the bed when he heard a knock at the door.
“It’s open,” he called, expecting Patti with the painkillers.
“Can I come in, Sweetie,” she said, opening the door a few inches. “I have something for your headache.”
He looked up and beckoned her to enter.
“You’re an angel, Patti,” he said as she came over toward the bed.
“I’ve brought your clean laundry and fresh towels too. I’ll put them here,” she added as he watched her set the bundle down on a chair near the bed.
He pushed himself up into a sitting position.
“No need to get up, Sweetie. Here’s some mineral water. Do you want me to get you a glass from the bathroom?”
“No, ’s okay, thanks,” he said, taking the bottle from her and unscrewing the cap.
He popped two tablets out of their foil pack and swallowed them, washing them down with a large mouthful of the water.
“Thanks.”
“Keep the packet in case you need any more. You can take another two in four hours time if you need them.”
“Yes, Mom,” he said with a grin.
She laughed.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I’m treating you like one of the children. Please forgive me, James.”
“No, it’s okay… I like it… having someone fuss over me, I mean… It’s nice… David’s really lucky to have you and Dave as his parents.”
She smiled sweetly at him.
“Thanks, Patti. I can’t tell you how good it feels to have someone care… I guess I’m not used to it though… Not sure I deserve it… I feel like I’ve been such a nuisance…”
“Not at all, Sweetie. It’s lovely having you here with us… and I’ve never seen David so happy. You’re obviously good for each other.”
She smiled and leaned forward.
“Get some sleep, James. You’ll feel better for it,” she said, kissing him lightly on the forehead before turning to leave.

“Hey, Mom,” David said on meeting his mother on the landing. “Is James okay?”
“He will be once you’re there, Darling,” she replied. “Make sure he gets some rest though… You know, I’ve been wondering if he might be anaemic. It wouldn’t hurt to get a blood test when you get home…”
“I hadn’t thought of that, Mom. I’ll suggest it…”
“You get some rest too. You look like you need it.”
“Okay, but don’t let me sleep too long, Mom. I promised Davy I’d play that game with him again this afternoon. Give me a call in a couple of hours?”
“Of course, Darling.”
She wasn’t moving. He knew that look. There was something else she wanted to say.
“Mom?”
It was obvious she was nervous about asking, whatever it was.
“Mom, is it about me not being able to give you any grandchildren ’cos I’m really sorry? I know how much you were looking forward to it but I love James… Yes, I always thought I’d have children one day… but I want James more…”
“No, it’s not that, Darling,” she said. “I asked James about the ring he’s wearing.”
“Oh, that,” David chuckled.
“He said you said to tell me you’d gotten engaged during the night. He laughed when he said it as if he thought it was just a joke… but it wasn’t, was it?”
“Shit! He thought it was just a joke?”
“Darling, either you are engaged or you’re not. Have you asked him?”
“Not exactly,” David said. “I slipped the ring on his finger while he was asleep. It was just something to remind him… you know, that I belong to him. I was afraid he might have another nightmare and wake up thinking I’d left him…”
“Oh, Darling!” she exclaimed, pulling him into a hug. “You have to talk to him, tell him how you feel and if you want him to be your life partner you have to ask him properly… ”
“I know, Mom. I plan to…”
It had been on his mind all morning.
But, what if James said ‘no’?
“On second thoughts,” David began, “I’ll go and play with Davy for half an hour now and then you needn’t worry about waking me later… assuming you don’t mind if I sleep the day away…”
“Of course not, Darling. We’ll see you when we see you… And don’t let Beth get to you. She means well…”
“If you say so, Mom.”
He wondered what Mom would think of Beth’s latest idea.
**************
David glanced at his watch as he made his way along the landing to his own room. He’d spent longer with the children than he’d intended - over an hour. James was more than likely asleep by now. He opened the bedroom door carefully so as not to wake him and crept inside.
James was sprawled across the bed asleep, fully clothed, on top of the duvet. David wondered about joining him as he was but then remembered he hadn’t changed out of his riding clothes yet. He probably stank of horse. He took a quick shower, donned a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt and lay down beside James. He snuggled up to him, spooning him.
James murmured in his sleep as David wrapped his arms around him. He kissed the back of James’ head and then closed his eyes. He was with the man he loved. That was all that mattered. Children were secondary. They’d always have his neice and nephew… and, if that wasn’t enough, they could always consider adoption one day…
