Payton couldn't even begin to describe how relieved she was when Jacob told her that the doctor had discharged her. Her shoulders sagged in relief and she winced slightly as she sat up, turning to let her legs hang over the side of the bed. The weight on her ankle made her ankle throb, it was still very much so broken but she didn't care at all. Payton just wanted to get home with Jacob. He'd done nothing but care for her in any way that he could, bringing her treats and telling her stories of their life together. Payton didn't remember much so it was making her frustrated but Jacob was doing his absolute best to cheer her up. She had to admit that he was doing a damn good job.
A light blush covered her cheeks as she looked up to Jacob, biting down on the inside of her lip. "You brought me a change of clothes, right?" Payton grinned when Jacob presented her with a pair of sweats and a shirt that he claimed was his - that she loved to wear. Payton realized why she was so hesitant to change. She would be naked in front of Jacob for what felt like the first time even if she knew that wasn't the truth. THat Jacob was her husband, of course, he would have seen her body before.
"Do you.." Payton trailed off, huffing when she realized how silly she felt. She didn't want to make Jacob feel bad, not when he'd been nothing but an absolute sweetheart to her. "Can you help me? I just don't want to try and put weight on my ankle," she explained, deciding that was a better option than being completely truthful with him.
