How long will you be bed ridden once you've got rid of the tonhongerekoogers?

Dr. Boobs said that I'll be on my feet and operating normally after about the first week, but w a very limited range of motion. depending on how I react to the anesthesia (some feel very sick), I could be fucked up for the first few days / first week, but I could also be strolling around and chilling two days into the healing. don't really know yet!

#he told me in very perky fashion that this surgery has a short recovery time #that ppl generally start going back to work after a week and can do cardio-like activities after two or three #but that I shouldn't even fucking THINK about trying to raise my arms over my head for MANY weeks #and I shouldn't lift anything even REMOTELY heavy for the first 10. #so my life should be PRETTY normal pretty quickly- not bed ridden but not COMPLETELY fine #I'm going to have t-rex arms and won't be able to wear shirts that don't button or zip in the front basically #and I'll have to sleep like a dumbass (on my back) #that's the part I'm dreading the most #sergle answers

Back From The Dead Epilogue

I know you guys waited a long time for this and I'm sorry it's so short. But the good news is, I've left it open for future installments and potentially requests. This won't be the last we see of Sweetheart and Matt, I promise 💖

So, without further ado, here's our temporary goodbye.

Pairing: Matt x Mom!Reader

“Matt! Is Michael almost ready?” You called from the kitchen. Matt had been tasked with getting your two year old son ready for his birthday party while you finished getting everything set up. A herculean task given that the toddler had much to say about his outfit choices nowadays. 

“Incoming!” Was all you heard before the sound of little feet running across the hardwood floors reached your ears. You had just enough time to turn around before Michael was launching himself into your arms.

“Mama!”

“Hello, my love! Look at you!” You exclaimed. Michael was dressed in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that said “Two Rex” with a T-Rex below the writing. Michael grinned then made a face like he was growling.

“Rawr!”

“That's right, baby. The T-Rex says rawr!” You heard a chuckle coming from your room and smiled, looking up to see Matt walking into the room. He was dressed down for the day, jeans and a simple blue shirt. He walked over to the two of you and wrapped his arms around you both, kissing first your head then Michael's. 

“Is he dressed to your satisfaction?” Matt teased. 

“Yes, he is. How'd you convince him to wear this shirt. He was so against it this morning.”

“I may have promised him extra cake if he wore it.”

“Matthew!” His deep chuckle rumbled through you as he grinned. 

“Come on, it's his birthday. Let him have the extra cake.”

“Alright, but when he's all hopped up on sugar and doesn't want to sleep tonight, that's on you.” You giggled. Your joking was interrupted by a knock on the front door and Michael immediately began wiggling to get down. 

“Uncy Foggy! Aunty Karen! Grammy Maggie! They're here!” You laughed as Michael ran for the front door, little hands reaching for the door knob but not quite able to turn it. Matt followed him over and opened the door, letting everyone in with a cheerful greeting. You put the finishing touches on the cupcakes you'd made just as everyone came around the corner. 

“Hey! Thanks so much for coming. We really appreciate it.” 

Foggy, who was currently holding Michael, shook his head.

“Like we'd miss this little guy's birthday for anything!” 

Everyone nodded their agreement and you and Matt smiled, glad for the little family the two of you had. It hadn't been easy, raising a baby, but the help you'd gotten from the three individuals in the room had been absolutely critical in the two of you making it through. 

Shaking the thoughts from your head, you guided everyone back into the living room where you all began to play and spend time focusing on Michael. The day passed by in a whirlwind of fun and before you knew it, everyone was heading home and you were putting a worn out toddler to bed. 

Heading to the kitchen, you quietly called out to Matt.

“I think I'm gonna have a glass of wine, do you want anything?” You were just reaching for the glass when arms wrapped around your middle and a warm body pressed against your back. Matt settled his head on yours and began to sway the two of you back and forth. 

“I don't think that's a good idea.” Your brows furrowed and you lowered your hand.

“Why's that?” You could feel his face shift and you assumed he was grinning. His hands shifted so one was on your hip and the other rested on your lower belly. 

“We're pregnant.” He breathed out. You froze, eyes going wide with shock. “You'll need to take a test to be sure but… I'd recognize that sound anywhere.” 

“Oh my God, Matt…” You felt tears well up, your hands coming up to cover your mouth. Anyone else would assume you were panicking but Matt, knowing you so well and knowing your body, knew you were excited. 

“Oops again?” He said, with a small laugh. It brought out your own laughter and soon the two of you were giggling like crazy. It took a few minutes for the two of you to calm down. You wiped your eyes.

“Oh, Matt. I'll get a test tomorrow and we'll check but I trust your ears. I can't believe it. How long have you known?”

“Just a couple of days. I wasn't sure at first but then we were laying together the other night and I had my head on your stomach. It was pretty obvious then.”

“Why'd you wait to say something?”

“I wanted to wait until after Michael's party. In case you reacted differently.” You hummed and nodded. That was fair. If you had reacted badly, it would have affected Michael's party and that wouldn't have been fair to the child. 

You turned in Matt's arms and faced him, pressing a soft kiss to his lips.

“A lot of things are gonna change. You and I are gonna be evenly matched. Are you ready for this?” You asked him.

“Sweetheart, with you by my side, I am ready for anything.”
