Okay...I've been given an hour to this since I've been behaving 'good.' So I'm gonna spend it doing this...Chapter 10! Enjoy!

Amelia let out a small shout of pain. She had just sent Jim to find a better place for them to hide. If they stayed in the open any longer, they would all die. She would do it herself if it wasn't for her blasted side. She started to fall, but Delbert was there to catch her. He gently put her down.

"Now let's take a look at that..." He sighed.

"I believe not, Doctor." She retorted. "I'm perfectly fine, and-AH!"

She clutched her side again. The pain had flared up again.

"Yes, you're the strongest and healthiest you've ever been." He rolled his eyes. "Please, Amelia, I'll be as fast as possible, but I still need to see it."

Amelia nodded her head in defeat.

"Fine, Delbert. Just...make it quick."

He nodded in understanding, and blushed as he started unbuttoning her coat.

"Why, Delbert...Do I see a tinge off pink on that face of yours?" She chuckled to herself as he turned a deeper shade of red.

"It seems so...I'm blushing while undressing the Captain I hired. I wonder why..." He mumbled.

Amelia laughed. It was true when they said laughter was the bast medicine. Delbert finally took off her coat, and set it neatly to the side. He looked at her, and saw blood leaking through her under shirt. He had to go down one more layer.

"Um, A-Amelia, I-I uh need to get your o-other shirt off."

She looked at him for a second, and then looked away quickly.

"Fine."

Delbert surprisingly took off her next shirt quickly. He saw the wound. He started to tend to it, and Amelia felt a tingling as he did so.

His hands are so...warm and soft...NO! Amelia, old girl, snap out of it...But it feels so...nice...

Amelia felt his hands move away, and watched as he searched through his coat pocket. He pulled out two fine silk scarfs. She watched as he tied one to her wound, and put the other to the side. Once she was dressed, he started tying her a sling with the other. His touch felt so nice she couldn't but start purring. She was also a little delerious.

Don't let him notice...Don't notice...Dear God, Don't notice!

"Amelia, do you hear that?"

Crap!

"Um..hear what, Delbert?"

That-Wait a second." He put his hand on the back of her neck, and chuckled. "Well, are you purring?"

"It uh it appears so, doesn't it?"

He chuckled, and sat down next to her.

"It's fine..."

They sat in silence until they heard a rustling. Delbert reached over Amelia, and grabbed the gun. He loaded, and held a weak aim. It was all quiet. You could swear you heard a-

"HI!" yelled a weird robot. He jumped on top of Delbert, who yelped in surprise.

"Doc!" B.E.N. get off of him." Jim yelled.

"B.E.N. crawled off.

"Sorry, Doc! I'm B.E.N.!"

Delbert dusted himself off, and looked to Jim for an explanation.

"B.E.N. has a place for us to hide at..."

Amelia nodded in approval.

"Right. Now let's be off..."

She attempted to stand only to be caught by Delbert once again. But instead of putting her back down he picked right off her feet.

"Doctor!"

"Sorry, Captain, but you're in no state. I'll have no more word about it."

Amelia just stared at him in awe. He really knew when to take command, and when he did he became like...well, her! Commanding and couragous. She soon fell back to sleep in his arms.

When she awoke, they were entering a...cave? Some sort of housing facility. She wasn't quite sure. Delbert put her down, and started folding his jacket for her to rest her head on.

"Aww, I find old fashion romance touching, don't you?" He said. "How about a drink for the happy couple?"

Delbert looked at him surprised.

"Oh, uh, No...thank you. We don't drink, and...we're not a couple."

He smiled at Amelia with one of those he-must-be-crazy- to-think-that looks. But instead, she gave him a maybe-not-now look.

And that's exactly what her delerious self was telling her.

Okay to be continued later. My time has run out, so until the next chapter. R&R. Bye!
