| Part Twenty four. Previously: Knuckles gets killed, Goons go to jail Authors Notes: Content Warning: ********* Roy and the others walked through the long corridor leading to ICU nursery. Peering through the plate glass window they could see Johnny dressed in scrubs gently stroking his daughters delicate arm through the holes of the incubator. She looked so frail having the life surport tube in her mouth being set in place by strips of tape across her face."Man she's tiny ." Stanley said under his breath. "She sure is, she's no bigger then a breath of air." Chet agreed Sencing his friend's eyes on him, Johnny looked up with tears streaming down his face. Just before leaving his daughter's side to join his friends he looked back down " Please God let her be okay." He whispered in plea "Hey guys." Johnny greeted in a whisper. "Hi how's she doing?" Roy asked with worry "Oh Roy, she only weighs two pounds four ounces and only fifteen inches long. They have her on life surport just so that she might live through the night.It will be at least a week before they can take the gauze off her eyes because they're not developed." Johnny concluded looking at his daughter being swallowed up by half a dozon tubes going from one end to the other "Well you have to know she's going to be okay, I mean she's a Gage and just like you, you've survived some pretty sticky situations." Marco tried to assure " I hope you're right Marco." Johnny said not taking his eyes off her. Watching as the nurse took more blood from his daughters foot. Then got a new set of vitals. "So how's Nicci doing?" Captain Stanley asked "They gave her a seditive so that she can rest. Brackett says that she should make a full recovery at least physically." Johnny said hanging his head with a new set of worry "Well that's good, isn't it?" Mike said "I don't know Mike, in the ambulance after the birth Roy showed her the baby and she looked away." Johnny said. "Well it's been very traumatizing to her it'll take some time with every thing that has happened. I mean we felt a little of her pain when we were kidnapped, Hell I still have night mares and that was only one day. She has years of abuse to get past. It's going to take her a long time to deal with everything." Roy concluded "Yeah I know." Johnny agreed "Well I guess we better get going, The squad will remain out of service until we can get replacements." Stanley said "Okay thanks Cap." Johnny said shaking his Captains hand then pulling him close for a friendly hug. " Thanks all you guys for being here, it means a lot to me." ...............One week later.... For a week straight Johnny spent every hour of every second at Rampart with his young family. " Hey Junior." Roy greeted walking up to his partner in the cafeteria. With the look of exaustion, Johnny looked up at his partner " Hi." He greeted then hanging his head " How are things going with you?" "Oh I'm okay, Jo and the kids came home last night."Roy said taking a seat at the table "Oh yeah that's good.How are they doing?"Johnny asked not making eye contact " They're doing good, I talked to Jo about everything that has happened, She was upset at first but in the end she understood that I was only trying to protect her and the kids. She was surprised when I told her you were a father." "Well that's understandable they were gone for almost a year." Johnny said Sencing that something was bothering his partner, Roy placed his hand on Johnny's arm. " Junior what's wrong, How's Nicci and the baby?" "Abby's doing real good, she's almost three pounds Brackett says that she might be able to come home in a couple of weeks or so if she gains enough weight. We'll have to hook her up to a sleep monitor everytime she sleeps because she stops breathing ."Johnny explained " Well that's good news and what about Nicci how's she doing?" " She's fine, she's being released in the morning but." Johnny trailed his voice riddled with worry " But what? what's wrong with Nicci?" Roy asked worriedly "I don't know Roy, it's like she don't want anything to do with Abby. She wouldn't even help me pick out a name and she refuses to hold her." Johnny said his voice filled with confussion "Well just give her time it's only been a week.This is still very new to her. I wouldn't worry about it she'll come around." Roy assured just as Brice walked up "You ready to go Roy?" Brice asked holding the drug box "Yeah I guess." Roy said getting up from the table.Then turning to Johnny he placed his hand on his shoulder." Hey don't worry, everything will work out for the best just wait and see." He assured patting Johnny on the back before leaving ............. Walking up to Nicci's bed and seeing that she was awake Johnny sat on the edge of the bed " Hey Half Pint, how are you feeling?" He asked running his fingers through her hair " I'm okay, how are you?" Nicci asked taking his hand in hers " I'm okay, Abby's doing much better she's tiny but she's getting stronger every day. They take her out of the incubator for feedings and baths. With a little luck she'll be able to come home in a couple of weeks." Johnny said "Oh, I guess I'll be going home in the morning." Nicci said changing the subject. Johnny looked at Nicci with a dumb founded look until he noticed that the nurse was wheeling Abby into the room. There's my Quarter Pint" Johnny greeted picking up the tiny bundle " Nicci you want to hold her?" Johnny asked Looking over at the window she refused" No." "Nicci are you sure?" Johnny asked sitting on the edge of the bed. " Yes I'm sure I don't want her." Nicci said turning on her side away from Johnny drawing her knees up to her chest "Come on Nicci, this is our daughter." Johnny said " I don't care just go please." Nicci said raising her hand to gesture Johnny to leave with the baby Johnny couldn't understand why she was turning her back on him more importantly their daughter. Even tho it hurt to leave, he knew it was probably for the best. With those thoughts, Johnny stood up from the bed then leaning over he gave Nicci a kiss on the shoulder." Nicci I'll leave for now and let you get some sleep. I'll be back up later okay. I love you." Johnny concluded thinking that all she needed was rest then she'd feel differantly about Abby. " I think I'm going to run over to Mrs Pattersons to pick up your stuff that she has in storage, I'll bring some clothes for you to wear home tomorrow." "Okay thanks. Oh and Johnny, I love you too."Nicci said cutting Johnny a grin ...............The next morning.......... Walking into Nicci's room he stopped short watching her comb her wet hair from her morning shower. Seeing her over sized breasts through the thin hospital gown was taking a toll on his neglected member. Ignoring his urges he shook his head and walked up behind Nicci" Morning Half Pint, you ready to go?" Johnny asked taking her by the waist "Yeah I think so.I just have to get dressed." Nicci said being able to feel his stiffness through his tight middle. With a slight grin she moved her ass to him. making him let out a soft moan " Gee thanks, now what am I surpose to do? you know we can't do anything for six weeks." Johnny reminded Turning around in his arms." Just because I can't doesn't mean you can't." She grinned leaning up giving Johnny a long pasinate kiss while her hand crawled down his chest resting on his extremely arroused crotch "Mmmmmm. oh yessss." Johnny moaned taking his zipper down giving her full access to his rock." Oh yes feels so good." He moaned feeling her slowly shroke the lengh of his shaft Taking his pants down to his knees she guided him down on the bed." Here lean back and let me love you." She whispered Following her orders he layed down on his back pulling her next to him. Taking her in his arms he cupped her breast feeling the dampness of her leaking nipple." I want to taste em'." He whispered moving his hand around to untie her gown letting her swollen breasts out." Oh yes, damn." Johnny groaned seeing that they were twice the normal size. Taking the nipples between his thumb and fore finger gently squeezing allowing the milky white liquid to escape the darkened nipple "Mmmmm." Raising up, Nicci layed Johnny back down taking his rod in her hands. Then leaning down to his middle she nibbled on the head of his gland." Oh God yes." he moaned pushing his hips up begging her to go down on him Taking his invitation she wrapped her lips around going all the way down his shaft sending Johnny almost on the edge of climax " Shhhit." Escaped his mouth. thrusting his hips up to her rythmn Faster and faster she went down on him while cupping his throbbing balls " Ohhhhhh Shiiiiiiiiittttttt!!!!!." Johnny moaned taking him into orgasm Licking off the last bit of cum, she looked up and winked." My my my I guess you really did need it."Nicci teased scooting her face next to his "You know it." Johnny gasped " Half Pint I love you." He whispered kissing her on the lips tasting what was left of him. "You want to go again?" Nicci said grinning at Johnny's surprised look "There's nothing I want more but thanks to you I have to clean up and you have to get dressed so we can leave." Johnny said sitting up on the edge of the bed .............. "I guess you two are ready to go." Brackett said walking up to the couple at the nurses desk "Yep." Johnny said with a reddened face "Well here's the discharge papers, I would have taken them to you but by the look on your face and the sounds coming from the room, it's a good thing I didn't." Brackett said with a grin folding his arms to his chest "Hey what can I say doc, it's been so long and I still have five weeks to go." Johnny said his with a frown "Well just because you can't the old fashioned way doesn't mean you can't use your imagination and figure out a new way.Just about anything goes, other then not being able to penatrate the virgina with youself .And because of the premature birth there was hardly any blood in fact the last I checked yesturday the bleeding was almost stopped already." Brackett said With their eyes meeting, Johnny and Nicci took each other by the hand"Oh yeah very very interesting sounds good." Johnny said giving Nicci a crooked grin "Well thanks Doc." Nicci said leaving the desk with Johnny at her side. "Young people." Early concluded shaking his head at the thought ................ "Hey we should check on Abby before we leave." Johnny said walking up to the Nursery "No that's okay, you can if you want, I'll wait for you at the elevator." Nicci refused "Nicci why don't you want to see her, she's real pretty." Johnny questioned " Oh Johnny, once you seen one baby you seen them all." Nicci said walking away avoiding the confrontation For a moment Johnny stood there in a stare, he could not believe what he just heard coming out of the mouth of his child's mother. " What was that all about?" Roy asked startling Johnny as he walked up to him " I don't know Roy, I have no idea what made her say that." Johnny looked at Roy in confussion " Well like I said it's going to take some time." Roy assured brushing off Nicci's words " You'll see she'll come around. All Nicci needs is the love from you then she can start to love herself. Until she learns to love herself she can't love anyone else." ............. Looking at Nicci through side glances Johnny could sence Nicci's uneasyness. What made her say that? he wondered.Was it possible that she didn't want Abby. " Nicci." Johnny stopped "Yeah." Nicci answered Then thinking it best not to push her, he decided not to say anything." Oh nothing." ........... Walking into the house still no words were said. Although Johnny needed answers, he didn't know how to get them. He didn't want to make matters worse." Nicci I can see that your tired, Why don't you go lay down and I'll fix us some lunch." "Okay." Walking over to the stereo, Johnny turned the music on low then headed to the kitchen to start lunch ......... Sencing her pressence, Johnny turned around and was instantlly alarmed for the fact that she was standing in the door way shaking with tears running down her face" Hey Half Pint, are you okay? what's wrong?" he asked walking up to her taking her in his arms "Yeah I'm okay, it's just that demons rule again." Nicci said taking a seat at the table Joining her at the table he took her hand on his "Oh Nicci, Knuckles is dead and his goons will be locked up for a very long time, they can't hurt you anymore" He soothed "I know, but it's just that I can still hear that gun go off, Johnny I thought I'd lost you forever." Nicci wimpered giving into tears "Nicci I know it's hard, I still think about being chained up and being forced to watch while they beat and raped you over and over. God I felt so helpless, I wanted to help you but I couldn't. And then when I watched them stick that needle in your arm and the way you layed there not moving I thought I lost you too." Johnny concluded giving into tears of his own. Pulling each other close they sat holding each other while their bodies trembled, together they started healing.Until the phone rang bringing them both back. " Why don't you go into the living room and I'll be in there when I'm done on the phone, Okay Half Pint." Johnny said softly wiping his watery eyes " Hello.." Johnny spoke into the receiver."...Yeah......oh things are fine......." Johnny hesitated. " Yes........ no that's fine but let me ask her, Hold on..... Johnny said putting his hand over the receiver." Hey Nicci it's Roy he wants to know if we want to go have a couple drinks with him and the guys after their shift. maybe shoot some pool." "I guess, that sounds like fun." Nicci said her voice trailed as she walked into the living room "Okay Roy we'll be there, what time? Okay I'll see you then. Say Hi to the guys for us...okay..see you later....bye." Sitting down on the couch, Nicci let out a squeal and quickly stood up " What the fuck was that?" she questioned Hearing Nicci, Johnny rushed into the room." What's the matter you hurt." Johnny said with concern "No I'm not hurt, I just sat on the couch and I felt something. I don't know what the hell it was." Nicci explained "Well let me see." Johnny said checking underneath the cushions " Oh that's where it went, I was wondering what happened to it." Johnny said pulling out a battery operated muscle relaxer. " I bought this to relax my muscles especially after a hard shift." Johnny explained as he and Nicci sat down on the couch " Here let me see that thing." Nicci said devilishly, taking it out of Johnny hand "Does it work?" she asked turning on the power. then placing it on his crotch making him become instantly hard " You tell me." Johnny whispered pushing his enlarged cock up to the vibrator.Then taking it from Nicci, he rubbed her shoulders then moving down to her over sensitive breasts." Well what do you think?" Johnny asked. He could see by the was she squimed it was having the same effect that it had on him. " Oh yeah it feels real good." Nicci moaned Leaning her back, Johnny kissed her neck while moving the vibrator down her tummy resting it under her skirt.Then sliding it inside her panties he caressed her tenderness moving the vibrator up and down " It's been so long." He moaned slidding two fingers inside her dampened hole while placing the devise directly on her enlarged clit sending her straight to heaven, while freeing his eager cock from his jeans. Sitting up, Johnny slid her panties off. Then being carefull not to enter her region, Johnny picked her up and sat her down on top of him. Placing the vibrator between them he made contact with her still throbbing clit at the same time as he made contact with his begging member.Making sure the vibrator stayed in place, he put his hands on Nicci's hips grinding her snatch up and down on the vibrator making it do both of them "Oh yessss." She moaned moving her hips to Johnny's rythmn throwing them both into climax. Melting like butter she layed her spent body across his chest both panting with desire " I guess that's what Doc meant by using our imagination." Johnny gasped " Yeah I guess." Nicci agreed closing her eyes " Johnny I love you." Nicci whispered pecking him on his chest "I love you to Nicci. What do you say we move the party into the bathroom." Johnny said ............. Allowing the hot water cascade down her back he held her close as they swayed to the music filtering through the walls from the other room. " I want you to make love to me." She whispered gently stroking is gland "Oh Nicci there's nothing that I would want to do more, but I can't " Johnny said "Johnny, there is more then one way to make love. Please I need you. I need to feel you inside of me." She whispered looking up into his eyes As if reading her mind he knew what she was saying ." Oh Nicci are you sure, I don't want to hurt you." Johnny hesitated "Johnny there's no way you can possibly hurt me." Nicci assured ...... "I'll be right back." Johnny said laying her down on the edge of the bed. Within a fraction of a second, Johnny came back into the bedroom with their new found toy. Leaning over her he cupped her full breasts gently sucking and biting each nipple tasting the warm milk as it escaped. "Oh yesssss feels so good." She moaned running her fingers through his hair then craddleing his head while his mouth preformed its magic Satisfied that he gave them equal attention, Johnny moved south licking down her tummy while inserting a finger inside her extremely arroused hole. Seeing that there was no blood his tongue continued it's journey downward to her shaven mound. Spreading her folds apart with his fingers he took her waiting clit in his mouth." Oh oh yes......" She moaned lifting her hips up to him. Taking the vibrator in his hand, Johnny gently Rubbed it against her clit while pushing two fingers deep inside her hole. " come on baby I want you to cum." He whispered turning the vibrator up to a higher speed "Oh yes cum......" Feeling her hole throb around his busy fingers "Oh shitttttt...." Nicci gasped giving it to him Seeing that she was more then ready, Johnny stood up between her legs Then squeezing a small amount of KYon his finger, he gently worked it inside her tight hole. Then squeezing a larger amount in his hand he stroked his cock making sure he coated every inch of it with the jel. Putting the head of his dick up to her ring hole, Johnny entered her with slow and gentle strokes " You okay, Does it hurt?" Johnny asked feeling her tense up her muscles " Oh no it don't hurt." Nicci moaned pushing her ass up to him. begging him for more. Picking up on her movment, Johnny plowed all the way inside her. Then picking up her ass up he held her in place while he thrust in and out of her." Oh shitttttt." He moaned feeling her hands on his hips meeting his every move. " Oh fuckkkkkk it. oh yesssss." Wanting them to cum together Johnny put the vibrator up to her clit while grinding three fingers inside of her snatch. Then picking up speed Johnny hammered his cock in and out of her ass. Throwing them both into a very intence orgasm "Ohhhhhhhh Shitttttttt here it is........" Johnny groaned filling her ass with him. "Man that was incredible." Johnny panted scooting up next to her. "Yeah it sure was, man seems like we been at it for hours." Nicci said laying her head on his chest Johnny Looked at his watch "Mmm 6:30, it seems like I had to do something, now what was it?." Johnny questioned racking his brain." "I don't know maybe you should call Roy and ask him." Nicci teased With out warning Johnny sat up." Oh God that's right we're surpose to meet him and the guys at Zoners Tavern, shit we're almost an hour late." Johnny said reaching for his clothes "Oh that's okay we can be out the door in ten minutes." Nicci said as she started to get dressed Standing in front of the mirror, Nicci brushed her hair while Johnny sat on the bed tying his shoes " Oh shit. Nicci." cursed " What." Johnny said looking up "Nothing I'm just leaking again, Johnny your a paramedic, Can I ask you a question? What do I have to do to stop my boobs from leaking all over." " Well it's simple, the more they're stimulated the quicker the milk glands dry up." Johnny lied. " Great what do I have to do go around playing with them all day." Nicci complained "Nope I'll be happy to do that for you." Johnny offered giving her his crooked grin while walking up to her wrapping his arms around her waste "Well how long does it take?" Nicci asked "It all depends on how many milk glands there are the bigger the boob the more milk glands there are. It may take you a long time to fully dry up." Johnny lied. He hated to lie but he knew if he told the truth she would never get the chance to breast feed once she came to accept Abby. .......... Johnny and Nicci made their way past the crowded Tavern being greeted by Roy's friendly wave "I see you guys finally made it over an hour late." Stanley said glancing at his watch "Sorry Cap it couldn't be helped we were using our imagination." Johnny said giving Nicci his famous smile "Nicci you remember my wife Joanne?" Roy asked "Yes I remember, Hi." Nicci greeted exstending her hand. "Hi, Roy told my how small Abby is and I don't know if you're interested but I brought a sack of clothes that belongs to some of Jenny's older baby dolls. They're in really good shape and I thought you can use them." "Oh, Hey is anyone up for shooting some pool?" Nicci said avoiding Jo's words. " Yeah I'll shoot some pool." Mike said getting up from the table ... " Gage what was that all about?" Chet asked as soon as Nicci was out of ear shot "I don't know Chet, She avoids Abby like the plague and all conversation that has to do with the baby. She refuses to hold her. And I really hate to say this she acts like she doesn't want her." Johnny said "How can she not want her baby?" Stanley asked "I don't know Cap, I wish I did. I try to get her to hold her but she pushes her away." Johnny said " She's okay as far as our relationship but as soon as I mention Abby she changes." "She's probably real scared. She wasn't really warned of what was going to happen." Marco said " Yeah, I know she didn't have pre natel care and she didn't know what was happening to her body because she had no one to talk to. The only thing she was able to do is read a few magazines which wasn't a whole lot of help." Johnny explained hanging his head " Well it sounds to me that she was very lonely and very scared. And if you stop to think about it, it's kind of sad knowing that she wasn't able to enjoy her pregnancey." Roy said "Well being a woman I can relate to how she feels. It's a special feeling when your carrying a baby and I can't even emagine not being able to enjoy those feelings. After Roy told me what happened and how she was treated I didn't know what to say. How can anyone be so uncaring?" Joanne finished looking in Nicci's direction " I just don't know what I'm going to do when Abby comes home and I go back to work. I can't take her to the station with me" "Johnny I'll watch her for you." Joann offered " I don't know, Are you sure you want to? I mean with Chris and Jenny you already have your hands full and Abby will be hooked up to a monitor most of the time except for feedings and baths." "Johnny of course I'm sure, Hopfully it wont be long before Nicci comes around. Until then I'll help you. I and Roy both will help." "And where they can't help the rest of us can. right guys" Stanley said " I don't know what to say guys, Thanks." Johnny said seeing his friends nod their heads in agreement "Your're welcome." Joanne said " Besides Johnny, I saw Abby in the nursery, she's a real sweetie and so tiny. Jenny said she looked like one of her dolls. I know she would never forgive you if you turned me down. She's very excited about this she's already made plans for their first tea party." Joann said "Well it may take some time I don't think they make tea sets in Abby's size." Johnny chuckled " Oh one more thing Chet, if you change Abby make sure you put the diaper on the right end." The conversation ending in laughter. TBC |
