Okay, I'm thinking this will be the last chapter, but we won't know until I get to the end. I'm visiting my friend and it's early and she and hubby are still asleep. So let's see how much I can get done before they wake up. By the way: this one is definitely rated XXX. I'm hoping that is does not offend anyone, but I had to get down and definitely dirty.

Jack came down the steps and looked for Belle, seeing her standing on the side walk waiting for him. She smiled when their eyes met and he flashed her a crooked grin. As he made his way to her, several people stopped him and thanked him for what he did. He finally made his way to his wife and she smiled at him. "My hero." She said as she kissed him on the cheek and he gently took her hand and they headed for the hotel.

That evening Jack and Isabelle entered DelMonicos. There were several patrons already in there including Doc, Festus, Newly and Thad. They were sitting together and chatting. Jack took his hat off and saw a free table only a few feet from the four men he had met before. He lead Belle over to the table and people stopped and stared at them. Festus realizing that the two were feeling uncomfortable stood up and spoke. "What ya'll ganderin' at. Ain't you ne'er seen a real life hero before?" He said to break the cold looks and there were smiles and cheers for Jack Lang. Jack and Belle relaxed and headed for the table. The waiter was there immediately with a small menu and handed one to Jack.

"I'll get ya some coffee?" He asked.

"Yes, that's good. Thank you." Jack said looking at the menu. He then looked up at Festus who was busy chattin' with doc. "Pardon me, Festus, I was just wondering, who was that woman anyway. I mean this town seems so grateful for my helping her." Jack said to Belle's surprise.

"That is Miss Kitty…um, well Mrs. Dillon. She's married to our Marshal." Festus said.

"Marshal Dillon? We haven't met him, have we?" Belle asked Jack.

"No Ma'am, you haven't yet. He's up north near the Canadian border, tracking a killer. But the Marshal is expected back soon. I hope." Newly said the last two words under his breath.

"Oh." She said softly. "He must be some Marshal for the town to take care of the Mrs. in such a way." She said and Jack just listened.

"Yup, he surely is. But Miss Kitty is a special woman too. She owns the Long Branch Saloon," Festus said.

"A saloon, and that makes her something special. She's a saloon owner." She said a bit appalled.

"Miss Kitty is a saloon owner but she's more than that. She's a good business woman, a good friend to the rest of us, who don't have much. She gave my husband a job when no one else would hire him and even loaned us the money for a small cabin, until we got on our feet without expecting it to be paid with interest or anything." Carol Jenkins said from the table beside theirs.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it." Belle said.

"I know, but I just wanted you to understand. Most people won't even give ya a chance to make good, but she does. She's helped a great many people in her young lifetime. And this town truly respect and yes, love her." Carol said as her husband gently took her hand and smiled at her.

"She sounds like quite a woman." Jack said softly. "You're town is lucky to have someone who is kind and giving like that." He said just as the doors opened and the beautiful redhead stood in the door holding her son in her arms. She hadn't realized that Matt/Jack would be there. Taking a deep breath she entered the restaurant and headed for Doc and the others. She walked over to Jack and his wife. Jack stood and Belle just looked at her. She was a beautiful woman and Belle couldn't help but feel a little dowdy next to her. The woman held a small bundle against her breast and Belle smiled at her and the child.

"Mr.?" Kitty played the game well.

"Lang, Jack Lang, and this is my wife Belle." He said introducing them. Belle stood up and smiled and reached her hand out to Kitty's. Kitty kept her hurt from her eyes.

"How do you do? It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Dillion" Belle said as Kitty took her hand.

"The pleasures all mine and please, call me Kitty. This is my son Mathew Galen Dillon." Kitty said softly. Taking her hand and shaking it.

"Would you like to join us?" Belle said seeing her husband was smiling at the little bundle that was cooing away.

"Thank you, but Mattie and I are going to join his grandpa and uncles." She took a deep breath. "You're welcomed to join us if you'd like." Kitty said praying that they would not. It was hard enough for her as it was.

"Jack?" Belle said.

"Sure, why not." He said to Kitty's extreme discomfort. Her heart was in her throat, but she smiled and turned to Doc and the others as Newly and Thad brought another table over to theirs for Jack and Belle. Kitty said to Doc's left, with Festus on her left. Than Belle next to him. Thad and Newly were across from them with Jack sitting across from Belle.

They began in quiet but Festus started up the conversation.

"Jack, where about you lookin' to settle down?" Festus asked him.

"Well we were heading towards El Dorado Kansas, by the border of Missouri. Belle has kin in Missouri and she would like to see her Mama again. She's getting up there in age so." Jack said.

"My mother lives outside of Woodson so it's not too far to travel to from El Dorado." Belle said.

At that moment, Mattie decided to fuss and cry. Doc stood up. "Why don't you let me try, Kitty?" Doc said reaching out for Mattie. She smiled as she handed her fussing son to Doc. "Hey now little man, you gonna fuss when you're ole' grandpa's got ya?" He said as the baby continued to fuss. But Mattie would not be consoled. Jack stood up and went to Doc.

"Mind if I try, I need the practice." He said glancing at Belle who feigned embarrassment. They were all shocked, but Newly found his voice first.

"Congratulations!" He said and the rest chimed in. Kitty tried to smile, but Belle noticed it. And she knew something was wrong but she saw Jack take the baby and sit down and start talking to him. The baby cooed and quieted down.

"You're a natural, Mr. Lang." Kitty said trying to keep her calm.

"My husband always did love children. And now that we have one on the way, he'll finally have the family he's always wanted." Belle said and she smiled at Kitty who smiled brightly back at her. The woman didn't know who Jack really was and she knew that he wasn't Jack Lang. And now Kitty knew she was playing a very dangerous game. What did she really want with Matt? Kitty smiled as Jack continued to talk to Mattie and she drank her tea and smiled once more at Belle.

"You're very lucky, Mrs. Lang, to have a husband who is a natural. Not all men are made for children. Right Festus." Kitty said jokingly trying to keep her cool when talking about Jack.

Doc and the others smiled in agreement, but could not believe her words. Kitty had found the strength in her to go along with this charade. They continued with their dinner, Jack now holding a sleeping Mattie. He seemed almost reluctant to give the baby up. Kitty had continued to mostly push her food around on her plate as the conversation went from farming to hunting and the right way to build a cabin. Taking a deep breath, she decided she had finally had enough and stood up. "If you will excuse me, I think Mattie and I will head home. It's time for his bath and off to bed." She said getting up. Jack brought Mattie around the table and handed him to her. "Thank you." She said softly trying not to look into his eyes.

"I'll walk you home, Miss Kitty." Festus said standing up. "Jack, Belle, it's been a pleasure." He said tipping his hat. Both Jack and Belle nodded to him.

Jack went back to his chair and sat down. Belle smiled at him and he returned the smile. "Miss Kitty seems so sad." She stated. "Is she alright?" She asked them.

"Well, the Marshal is hunting down a killer, and even if there isn't anyone faster with a pistol, there's always that chance." Thad said trying to confirm the earlier story.

Deep in thought, Belle saw Jack sitting looking at his plate. "What's wrong, Jack?" She said touching his hand.

"I was just thinking about what Thad said, it'd be a horrible thing if something happened to that little baby's father and he'd have to grow up without him." He said to her.

"Nothing's gonna happen to their Marshal, Jack." Belle tried to tell him.

"I know, but it's a dangerous job. I'm glad I'm just a dirt farmer." He said and she smiled at him and he at her.

Festus lead Kitty up to her room holding Mattie for her. They entered and as she faced the bed, she began to cry. Festus laid Mattie in his cradle then went over to her and gently held her in his arms until she calmed down a bit. "I'm sorry, I'm not much use these days, all I do is cry." She said as he lead her over to the chair and sat her down. He then went over and poured her a sherry which he knew she liked to drink once in a while. She had sometimes had a sherry down in the saloon before bed.

"Here ya go, Miss Kitty, just drink this down and you lay down and get some sleep." He said handing it to her. Kitty took the sherry and sipped it. "I'm gonna lock this here door. I'll tell Sam to make sure he don't bother ya none." He said heading for the door.

"Thank you, Festus." She said as he slowly opened the door and slipped out after engaging the lock.

Later that night.

Her small hands wrapped around his manhood, she gently moved her hand up and down onto him and he moaned watching the motion of her slender fingers. Her tongue darted out to taste the head of his manhood. Warm lips engulfed him and the heat of her mouth tortured him greatly. He moaned as the warm lips moved down further, taking him into her mouth. She continued this action until he was hard. She pushed him onto the bed and slowly straddled his hips. He watched as she lowered her body onto his, taking him into her hands and guiding him inside of her. Jack moaned as he disappeared deep within her, his hands on her waist as she began to move up and down on his rigid manhood. "Oh God!" He moaned as he thrust his head back into the pillow as he was lost in her tightness. As she leaned forward, he slowly opened his eyes and eyed her beautiful breast as they swayed back and forth in time to her movements. His eyes moved up over her rounded hips, slightly rounded belly, small waist, ample breast to her shoulders and then the red hair that hung over her shoulder. He looked up into the most beautiful face he had ever seen. Blue eyes met Bluer eyes and he gasped. Waking up in a cold sweat, he had hoped he hadn't woken his wife. His gut was burning and his manhood was hard and uncomfortable. Slowly he got out of bed and put his britches on. Without thinking, he opened the door and walked out of the room without his shoes or his shirt. Matt slipped out of the hotel without being seen by the sleeping man at the counter. He stood on the sidewalk and stared at the now closed saloon. He didn't know what he was doing, he walked across the street as if in a trance. Then around the back and up the back steps. What the hell are you doing? He asked himself, but his body felt like it was on fire and he needed to get to that woman. He reached up over the door frame above his head and pulled down a small black metal box. The lid flipped opened and inside there was a key. Looking at both in question, he placed the box back up there and used the key to open the door. Quietly he followed a familiar but unknown route. Slipping to the bedroom door, he looked at the door and used the same key to open it as well. The room was bathed in the light of the full moon. Lying on the bed, covered barely by the sheet, lay the red head sleeping peacefully. She was naked beneath the sheet and he knew this because her right full breast was bare to his eyes. He reached down to gently grasp the sheet and slowly pulled it off of her somehow without waking her. She moaned slightly as the cool air hit her warm body. Small goose bumps became visible. He unbuttoned his britches and climbed out of them and his long underwear. He knelt one knee on the bed and with one hand encouraged her legs apart in her sleep. She moved her left knee up and he moved his face closer to the dark red thatch of hair. Inhaling her scent, he closed her eyes. Then leaned down, gently pushing her folds apart as he dipped first one than a second finger deep inside her warmth. She moaned at the intrusion, but she did not wake up. His mouth latched onto the tiny bud under the folds and he heard her gasp slightly. He looked up, to see she was still asleep. His mouth devoured her woman hood and she began to thrust her hips forward into his mouth. She instinctively pulled her knees up around his head and thrust her breast forward as she gasped. She cried out as she came. Her eyes flew opened and she saw him kneeling there on her bed. The desperation sharp in his eyes. He looked wild with fear and pain. She saw how hard he was and gently reached out to grasp him, then lead him to her entrance. He slammed into her and she cried out. He clamped his hand over her mouth and held a finger to his mouth signaling her to be quiet. His hand still on her mouth, he pulled back then pressed harder and deeper into her. Tears slid down her eyes, it had been too long and he was such a big man in more ways than one. Removing his hand, his lips covered hers and she opened her mouth to his. Their bodies moved together in an age old story. Wrapping her thighs around his hips, he began to push harder and faster within her quivering walls. She gasped as he came closer to that part of her that caused her to explode into a million brilliant lights. She knew what was coming, he was going to push her right over that edge. She would scream and the town would come running. As if he had read her mind, he clamped his hand over her mouth, her hand over his, holding his tightly to her mouth. He thrust harder and deeper, hitting that spot and as if on cue, he too fell over, cringing in pain as he came so hard inside her that his body felt as if it burst into flames. He looked up at her, she blinked as the tears fell down her face. He looked into her sad eyes and she gently touched his cheek. He raped her. He had raped a woman. He had violated her. His head hurt. God did it hurt.

"M..Jack?" She asked him.

"I'm sorry…I'm sorry…" he said in pain. "Oh, God, my head!"

"What's the matter?" She said as he turned over onto his back and held his head in agonizing pain. "I'll get Doc. Jack, I'll be right back." She said getting out of the bed and running for her cape. She ran out the door, buttoning the cape to mid thigh and ran down the stairs. The saloon was dark, but Kitty knew that place with her eyes closed. She made her way to the door and ran out heading for Doc's office.

Doc was up at the late hour, unable to sleep, he decided to do a little reading, but fell asleep sitting up in his chair. Kitty tapped hard enough on the window to wake him, but not hard enough to wake the town. Doc startled awake. "What? Who's there?" No answer and she tapped again. Doc walked over to the door and opened it. Kitty stood there, in her cape, the one side slid off her shoulder and her naked shoulder was bare to him. Her hair was a mess and her face was flushed. "What happened? Who did this to you?" He said pulling her into his office.

"Doc…" She gasped for breath. "He needs you." She said.

"Who needs me?" Doc asked confused.

"Matt…Jack, he's hurt." She said.

"I'll grab my bag and meet you over at the Dodge House…" He started but she interrupted him.

"No…he's not there. He's at the Long Branch…in…in my room." She said embarrassed. She looked down at the floor.

"Did he hurt you?" Doc asked but she didn't answer him. "I'll get my bag." He said as she could not look at him.

Doc grabbed his bag and then they headed out of the office and down the stairs heading inside the Long Branch. Kitty closed the doors behind them and went over to the bar to light the lamp sitting there as Doc stood by the door waiting for the lights. She had the first lamp lit and went over to the second one. She then went up stairs to her room. Matt lay on the bed on his back. He had his britches on, and had one arm flung over his eyes. "Jack, it's Doc Adams." He said sitting on the edge of the bed.

"My head." He said in a raspy voice. They could hear the strain in it.

"Okay, let me take a look at you." Doc said pulling his arm away. He looked into Jack's eyes. "Kitty, I need a cold wet cloth." He told her. She went into her washroom and took a clean washcloth and dumped water into a basin and dropped the cloth into the cold water. She then took it out to Doc. Doc ringed the cloth out and then wiped Jack's face. He then laid the cool cloth over his eyes. "I'm gonna give you something for the pain." He said reaching over to pour some water from the pitcher into the glass beside the bed. He looked up at Kitty who stood there, terrified. Her cape still hanging half off of her. "This will help you rest some." He said dumping the powder into the glass of water and swirling the glass around to mix it some. "It's a new form of pain killers. It won't make you drowsy, but it should ease the pain some." He said helping Jack sit up and drink the water. "Good…good. You lay back and rest. And you," He said looking at Kitty. "I'm going down stairs to pour two drinks. Get dressed and meet me down there." Doc got up and Jack grabbed his arm.

"Did…did I hurt her?" He asked.

"You get some sleep." Doc told him. Jack laid back down as the pain kicked back in. He moaned and closed his eyes. Doc left the room and Kitty felt ashamed and dirty. But why? He was her husband after all.

Kitty dropped the cape and began to dress, her back to Jack who was supposed to be sleeping but was actually watching the woman dress. He watched as she put on layer after layer, but not bothering to put on her bottom undergarments. He smiled slightly. He laid back down and covered his eyes. 'He loved it when she didn't were her bloomers. It was easier that way.' Where the hell did that thought come from, Jack wondered. When she was dressed, she quickly combed and braided her hair pulling the braid over one shoulder and tying a blue ribbon on the bottom. Taking a deep breath she headed downstairs where Doc sat, sipping his whiskey and waiting for her. Doc stood as she made her way over to him. She sat down in the chair next to him. Doc handed her a glass and poured her some whiskey. Kitty took the shot glass and held it as he poured it. She took a sip then swallowed it quickly. He then poured her another one. She sat it down on the table, still unable to look him in the eyes. "Tell me what happened." Doc said.

"I'm…I'm not sure, but when I woke up, he was kneeling between my….my thighs, he looked frantic…there was fear and pain in his eyes," She stopped and sipped her whiskey as the tears fell down her cheek. "I couldn't refuse him, he was in so much pain. He…he climbed on top of me and…." She stopped and more tears fell.

"He raped you?" Doc said

"No!" She said excitedly. "No..Doc. I let him take me. I wanted him as much as he needed me. He's my husband…not some stranger….not Jack Lang. He's my husband, Matt." She said covering her face with her hands. "He didn't force me, Doc." She cried through her hands. "I feel so ashamed." She said.

Doc pulled her hands from her face. "You have nothing to be ashamed of. He's your husband and you are his wife." Doc confirmed.

"But, Doc, in his mind, he's a stranger, he's going to feel guilty and responsible. Oh God, what have I done?" She cried.

Doc handed her his handkerchief and she wiped at her eyes. Just then there was a knock on the saloon doors and then Festus opened the door entering the saloon with Belle following behind him. Belle was completely dressed but looked frantic.

"Doc, Miss Kitty," He said leading Belle over to them. "Doc, Mrs. Lang is looking for her husband, she woke up and he was gone. We done got Newly checking the west end of Dodge and Thad on the opposite side. But we ain't seen tail nor hide of him.

"He's upstairs in one of the rooms resting." Doc said.

"One of the rooms?" Belle said eyeing up Kitty.

"He's in my room, Belle." Kitty said standing up to meet her.

"So…you are a working girl. You're no better than a common whore. Did you seduce my husband." Belle said angrily. Kitty angrily stood up and was about to say something as Doc stood up and touched her hand.

"Now just a moment. I took him up there after encountering him staggering on the sidewalk." Doc lied. "He's had an episode of some sort, I gave him some pain powders and told him to rest." He finished.

"Why didn't you bring him to the Hotel?" She asked Doc.

"Have you seen the size of him next to me. He's a big man." Doc said.

"I think you're lying to protect her." Belle said. "But it doesn't matter. Please tell me what room my husband is in and I'll collect him and leave." She said.

"No!" Kitty said terrified. "I'm not letting you leave here with him." She said standing her ground.

The two women stared at each other, Kitty realizing what she had said, and Belle seemed to have caught on.

"I'm going to collect my husband and we are leaving." Belle said her hands on her hips. "Now move aside, or I'll not be responsible for my actions."

"I'm here, Isabelle." Jack said walking down the stairs buttoning the shirt he had found hanging on a hook in her room. As he made his way down the stairs, Newly and Thad came into the saloon and were surprised to see Jack standing there with Doc, Festus, Kitty and Belle. They slowly entered the room.

"Jack!" She said rushing to him and hugging him as he came down the final step. He gently took her by the shoulders.

"I'm sure glad you're alright, Jack." Festus said.

"I'm fine, Festus." Jack said leading Belle over to the others. She smiled and looked up at him. He maneuvered her till he was a bit closer to Kitty. "Newly would you mind escorting Isabelle to the Jail." Everyone looked at him in shock. "Isabelle Lang, you are under arrest for the murder of Jack Lang." Matt finally said, as he pushed her into Newly's custody. Kitty looked up at Matt and she knew he was back.

"Matt." She said in a soft whisper before her eyes filled with tears. He just smiled at her softly.

"Jack, you can't do this to me. What about the baby." She cried as Newly held onto her arm.

"My name is Matt Dillon. I'm a US Marshal and as for the child you may or may not be carrying, I doubt that it is mine. I'll have Doc check you over though." He said without feeling for her at least.

"No! I don't want him touching me." She said angrily.

"Fine, then the Doctor at the prison will check you over and if you are carrying my child, then I'll raise that child. I won't allow it to suffer your shame and pay for your crimes." He told her and her hands fell from her abdomen. She was shocked by the cruelty he was showing her.

"How can you do this to me?" She cried to him.

"How can I do this to you? What about what you've done to me?" He said angrily and moved towards her. Kitty's soft hand on his arm stopped him. "Newly please take her to the jail and place her in a cell. I'll wire Washington in the morning." He said as Newly guided her out of the saloon. Festus will you and Thad please do the final rounds before dawn?" He asked.

"Sure thang, Mathew." He said as he and Thad headed for the door. Festus stopped and looked back at them. "It sure is good to have you back, Mathew."

"Thank you Festus." He said to the two smiling men as they left the saloon. "Doc, if you don't mind, I really need to speak with Kitty." Matt said as he looked at her. Her head was still hanging down. He could see she was still trembling. Doc just smiled as he headed for the doors. Matt followed him and closed and locked the doors behind Doc. Matt walked back over to Kitty and swooped her up into his arms. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck as he headed up to their bedroom. She cried the entire way up to their room..

TBC
