The sun was just beginning to rise, the early light peeking through the cracks in the blinds, bringing a dim morning glow to your otherwise dark room. Blanketed in your favorite thick comforter with the warm body of your boyfriend pressed against your back, his arm slung around your waist to hold you close. You slowly move to look at him, his handsome face peaceful and pressed into the plush pillow.
“How did I get so lucky?” You quietly whisper to yourself as you caress his face as his eyes slowly flutter open. “Hey, there handsome.”
“Hey, doll.” He smiles, pulling you close to his chest and kissing your forehead. “It’s Sunday, what are you doing awake already?”
“Just thinking.” You smile pressing your lips to his chest.
“Bout what doll?” He asks as he runs his long fingers through your tangled curly hair.
“Just thinking about how handsome and sweet you are.” You bring your hand up to run through his greying hair. “You are such a wonderful man.”
He just smiles staring into your eyes as if searching for something deep within before pulling you close to him, hugging you to his chest. His arms desperately holding on to you as if he lets go you will disappear and when he lets go of you, he kisses your forehead.
“You are the perfect woman.” He sighs with a smile. “I’m so lucky I have you. You make me so happy.”
You think back to this morning and wonder how things got so screwed up. How did you end up here? When the two of you woke up this morning everything was perfect until he got called into work for a new case. Sonny getting called in like this isn’t unusual but you both hated giving up the time you were supposed to be spending together but what he does is important so you try not to complain too much. That is until you are sitting in a hospital waiting room because Sonny gets injured.
You had gotten a call nearly an hour ago from Amanda saying Sonny got hurt while out chasing the perp and you were terrified. Sonny always seemed to be getting hurt out on the job if not physically, then emotionally. Although he tried not to, your ray of sunshine carried the job home with him and some days he would be stuck in a depressive rut or be awakened by nightmares. So when you got the call you wasted no time rushing to the hospital to meet Amanda.
“So Superman, you gonna tell me how all this happened?” You ask, standing in the doorway of his room after the nurses finally told you that you were allowed in.
“Amanda didn’t tell you what happened?” He asks surprised as he looks up at you.
“Oh, she told me everything.” You laugh and shake your head as you walk into the room. “You’d think someone with long giraffe legs like you would be a little more graceful on them. You of all the people, you managed to take a tumble during a chase and dislocate your knee.” You lean over the edge of the bed to kiss him and he happily accepts it.
“I caught him.” Sonny shrugs with a smirk plastered on his lips.
“Yeah, and you caught a case of desk duty too.” You fold your arms across your chest, before taking a seat by his bed. “How long do the doctors say it will take to heal?”
“About six weeks.” He sighs looking down at his leg wrapped up in a brace. “You gonna take care of me?” He asks with pouty lips, batting his eyelashes.
“Nope, I’m sending you home with your momma,” You shrug. “I’m just playing, of course, I will take care of you. You are lucky it was your knee and not your hip, or I definitely wouldn’t be able to take care of you…” You trail off with a wink and he smiles wriggling his eyebrows.
“Thank God.” He laughs and pats the bed beside him. “Come up here and cuddle with me.”
“No funny business, pretty boy.” You joke as you crawl into the bed with him on the side with his good knee, careful not to even touch that leg. “I love you, Sonny.”
“I love you too, doll. More than you will ever know.” He smiles and kisses your temple, pulling you closer to his side.
“All jokes aside… Dominick Carisi, if you aren’t more careful out there I’ll be forced to either keep you locked inside or send you out wrapped in bubble wrap.” You run your fingers up and down his arm. “You are too important to me. I can’t have you constantly getting hurt.”
“I know, I promise I will be more careful next time and watch out for the birds.”
“Wait! You tripped over a bird?” You gasp as you sit up on the bed, looking down at your blessing boyfriend. “Real-life, modern-day David and Goliath story took place in New York, when a seemingly lowly bird took down the skyscraper-like Detective Carisi.” You say in the stereotypical radio host voice before busting out into a fit of giggles with Sonny and he just cherishes the laughs coming from your mouth and that you can always make him smile.
