Knots awoke and rolled over to see Jack still asleep. The two had fallen asleep together in Knots's bunk. It was very early, the sun was barely starting to rise. Even though Knots had only slept for a couple of hours, she had a lot of energy. She wanted to be awake to spend time with Jack, and to be with Curly and Splash and make sure their father didn't find them.
Knots gently kissed Jack on the lips only to be startled a little when he started to kiss back. He wrapped his arms around her waist and turned the gentle kiss into a full on make out session.
" Jack!" Knots giggled pulling away.
Jack laughed also.
" Hiya doll." He said kissing her on the cheek.
The two lay in the bunk closely looking at each other.
" Did ya sleep much?" Knots asked brushing Jack's hair out of his eyes.
" Nah. Ise too anxious. What about you?"
" I didn't get much, but it was enough." Knots said yawning slightly.
" I wanna stay here with ya all day Knots."
" I'm all for it Jack. But we gotta make some money today. We all have to make extra to help out with Curly and Splash."
" I know. We should take them selling with us today. Ise sure tons of people would buy papes from them."
" No one would be able to resist their cute faces. But they need clothes first."
" I'll go over to the Jacob's and see if they have any of Les's clothes from when he was younger."
" Good idea Jack. You should go now though, before everyone gets up."
Jack got a sad look on his face like he didn't want to leave.
" Do I hafta?"
Knots laughed.
" Yes Jack. But we can have some time together while we're selling and then tonight too."
" Promise?"
" I promise." Knots kissed him on the lips gently.
Jack got up and threw on his clothes. He kissed Knots on the cheek and then left the lodging house to get some clothes for the two new young Newsies.
After Jack had left, Knots got out of bed and got ready for the day to come. She realized that Milkshake was not in the bunkroom so she went into the boy's room to look for her. When she went in she saw across the room a very snuggly Milkshake and Racetrack. A smile instantly appeared on her face. She was so glad that her friend had found someone special. They were a great couple.
"Aww they're so cute." Knots thought to her self. "I could be nice and let them sleep, but where is the fun in that?" She giggled a little.
Knots walked right up to the bed and stood next to it. She all of a sudden jumped up high and then landed right on top of Racetrack and Milkshake.
" Ugh Knots you weigh a ton!" Milkshake said through groans.
" Knots youse breakin me leg!" Racetrack said laughing.
" Hey I'm not THAT heavy!" She said smacking them both playfully.
She got off the bed and stood next to it.
" Get up ya bums we gotta sell."
" Oh no don't worry about us. I think we'll stay here and take care of the kiddos." Racetrack said winking at Milkshake.
" Sorry buddy youse aint getting out of this one. Curly and Splash are gonna come sell with us today."
Knots sat at the foot of the bed. Racetrack and Milkshake were still cuddling.
" What are they gonna wear? You can't take them out looking like that." Milkshake said.
" Jack went over to the Jacobs to get some of Les's clothes."
" And he's back." Jack said.
The teenagers turned and saw Jack standing in the doorway with clothes in his hands.
" Hey Jack." Milkshake said.
" Jack ya won't believe the wake up Knots gave us this morning. She decided it would be a good idea to jump on top of Milkshake and me." Racetrack said chuckling.
" Well she is me girl." He said taking a running start.
"No! Jack! What are you doing?" Milkshake yelped.
Jack leapt onto the bed just as Knots had done previously.
Knots and Jack were laughing while Racetrack and Milkshake were groaning.
They're fun was put on hold when they saw Curly and Splash starting to stir in their bed across the room.
" Looks like the little ones are waking up." Milkshake said from underneath Jack's arm.
" Yea. Jack and I can take care of them. Why don't you two go get ready for work and also wake the other Newsies?" Knots said standing up.
"Alright will do." A smothered Racetrack said.
" Ok Jack ya can get up now." Milkshake said.
Jack pretended like he had fallen asleep on top of Milkshake and Race.
" Uh Jack?"
" Jack!" Both of them said in unison.
Jack still wouldn't budge.
Milkshake pinched Jack's arm.
"Hey! I was just having some fun! Geeze no reason to pinch a guy." Jack said getting up and rubbing his arm.
" Sorry Jack, but my legs were falling asleep."
Jack walked across the room to Knots, where she was waking up Curly and Splash.
" Mommy?" Splash said.
" No Sweetie, I'm Knots. Do you remember me?"
" Uh-Huh. I thought you were my mommy though."
Knots smiled.
"That's ok. You just woke up."
Just then Curly sat up.
" Hi there doll." Jack said kneeling down to her.
" Ya wanna help me, Knots, Milkshake and Racetrack sell some newspapers today?"
The little girl looked at her brother and then looked back at Jack. She put her thumb in her mouth and then smiled and nodded.
" Ya wanna go get dressed?" Knots asked
"Ok." Curly said quietly.
Knots bent down and picked up Curly while Jack picked up Splash. Together the two got the children ready to go sell newspapers.
