CH 183

Jack and Sam watched the young couple get married which made them smile then there was the wedding reception afterwards where they enjoyed themselves. They watched everyone else dance while they sat where they were. By the time they got home it was after midnight.

They thank the driver before Jack pushes the wheelchair up to the house. Sam uses her powers to unlock the door before Jack could open it and push Sam in and close it behind him.

Twenty minutes later they were in bed, Sam was munching on KFC chicken with sweet chili sauce and drinking strawberry flavored milk while talking to Jack as he was rubbing cream over Sam's stomach. When Sam finished her snack, Jack took care of the rubbish and gave Sam a wet cloth so she could wipe her hands and a towel to dry them and he put them back into the bathroom. Then he return back to bed where he snuggled up to Sam back and turn off the lights

"Night Sam" 'burp' Sam did then giggle

"Night Jack" they both close their eyes and feel asleep.

Later that morning when Sam woke up she rolled on to her back, when she noticed Jack wasn't in bed. She looked at the clock, it read 10:48am. She was just about to call out Jack's name when he opened the door and walked into the room.

"Morning sweet heart"

"Morning I didn't relies how tired I was"

"I know, I left you to sleep in long as you want"

"Thanks, where mum and dad?"

"In the kitchen"

"Ok… I need to pee"

"Sure here let me help you"

"Thanks"

Jack helped Sam out of bed and into the wheelchair, then he wheeled her down into the bathroom where she relieved herself, washed her hand and did her morning routine before wheeling herself back into the bedroom. Jack was getting her clothes for her then he helped her to get dressed then wheels her into the kitchen.

"Morning mum, dad"

"Morning sleepy head"

"Funny" Jack got Sam a glass of apple juice.

While they were talking he chopped up a bowl of fruit and passed it to her too much while they all talked about the wedding. After Sam finished her late breakfast Jack and her went to the park which was down the road. He pushes her to a bench and sat down next to her, he look at Sam and could tell something was on her mind

"Sam, what's wrong?" she turned to him and look into his eyes

"I been thinking about Mark and Ann about what has happen to them… that it might happen to us one day" Jack put his hand on hers

"Sam we both can handle this, I know it not the same when you were at university but we both can handle it, we can work through this together"

"I know… take one day at a time"

"Yes we will and it will work it will be hard but we can do it"

"I know" he lean over and gave her a kiss

"We can do it" he said, she nodded

"Shall we change the subject to something else"

"Like what?"

"Thanks giving" he said smiling, making her smile

"What did you have in mind?"

"Well I spoken to your parents and to Ann about having thanksgiving dinner at our place"

"And?"

"They said yes and Mark got four days off so he is flying in straight after work Wednesday night"

"Ann and kids would be happy to see him"

"Yes they would be"

"So thanks giving, who else did you invite?"

"Just them, Grace is going to Phillip and Tracey's this year"

"Ok" they talk for an hour then return back home for late lunch and relax that afternoon.

The next morning Jack and Sam said their goodbyes to Jacob and Elizabeth since they were returning back to Colorado Springs by train. Jack stayed with Sam on the whole trip and he even had a bag of snacks with them for Sam too much on, on the trip back home.

When the train stops at Colorado Springs Jack and another guy help lift the wheelchair off the train and onto the ground. They thank the guy before Jack wheels them over to where the bags are. Jack picked up their bags and passed them to Sam, which she was able to put on her lap then he pushed her wheelchair toward the front of the station to a phone box when a taxi showed up to drop a passenger off.

Jack spoke to the women and she nodded, then she got out and popped the trunk open while Sam passed Jack their bags and he passed them to the women. Then he helped Sam out of the wheel chair and into the taxi. Then he collapsed the wheel chair and put it in the boot of the car then he got in next to Sam then the driver got in.

Jack told her the address then they were on their way home. When they got home Jack paid for the fair before they got out. Couple of minutes later Jack push the wheelchair into the house then he helps Sam to stand up and walk over to her chair and into it. Once she was seated with her feet up. Jack went and sorted out the bags and opens some windows then he walk back into the living room.

"Hey want anything?"

"Yeah I do"

"What would you like?"

"Chinese food any thing"

"Ok anything else?"

"A cold drink"

"Well I'll go and get you a drink then I'll head into town and so some shopping"

"Ok" Jack walk in to the kitchen then return with a glass of orange juice, he pass it to Sam

"Here you go, I'll be back soon as I can"

"Ok, drive carefully"

"Will do" then he walked back to the main foliar then out the door.

Sam heard Jack truck start up and leave. Sam finished her drink and made it go onto the coffee table then she lay back and closed her eyes and relaxed.

When Jack returned back home with bags in hand he put them in the kitchen then he quickly put everything away then he picked up three bags and walked into the living room and stopped. He looks at Sam as she sleeps. He watches her for a minute then walks over to her and bends over and gives her a kiss. When he moved back he smile when he saw her looking at him

"Hey"

"Hey"

"Here I brought us some lunch and afterward you can have a sleep"

"Thanks"

Jack sat down next to Sam and put the bags on the coffee table then he pulled out one container and chopsticks and passed them to Sam then he got another container and chop sticks then sat back. They talk while enjoying their lunch.

When finished Jack helped Sam to the bathroom then back to her chair. They talk for a few minutes then Jack watches her close her eyes and fall into peaceful sleep. He watched her for a few minutes then he got up and walked down to the laundry room where he sorted out the washing. Then he went and made their bed since he had it stripped down last Friday to air.

Once that was done, he then cleans the bathroom and does some other house work for the rest of the afternoon without waking Sam up.

Three hours later Sam woke up from her nap, she looked around and smiled when she saw her afternoon snack on the coffee table. She made the two bowls go into her hand and she put the larger bowl onto her lap while she held the small one into her hand. When Jack walked into the living room he smiled when he saw Sam munching on her chip and dip. He sat down next to her and passes her, her drink

"Thanks Jack"

"You're welcome, enjoy your nap?"

"Yes, so what have you been doing while I was napping?"

"Some house work, getting dinner on, bring you your afternoon snack" Sam smile

"Ok so what is for dinner?"

"Food" Sam look at him then she pass her drink to him for him to hold

"Ok, ok fish pie"

"Sounds good to me" they talk till Sam finishes her snack, then Jack helps her up since she needs to go to the bathroom again.

While she was in there, Jack took the bowls and glasses into the kitchen then he returned so he could help Sam back into the living room. That night they talk about what to get Phillip and Tracey for their wedding anniversary present. Sam called one of her cousins up and talked to him about the family's plan.

"Sam they don't want anything but got all of us to be there"

"We gotta get them something"

"I know, but we know what they are like"

"True… what are their plans?"

"Nothing but family and close friends will be at the party and that it"

"So they are planning on going nowhere?"

"Sam, what are you thinking?"

"Talk to the others… I was thinking about a romantic cruise for a month… a second honeymoon"

"Sam that is a great idea, now why didn't I think of it before" Sam giggle while she look at Jack

"Well there you go, if we all put money together and get tickets sorted out we can give it to them that night"

"Sounds good to me, I'll call the others and talk to you in the next few days"

"Sure, sounds good to me"

"Well take care Sam"

"Thanks, I will bye"

"Bye" then they hung up. Sam turned and looked at Jack

"I like your idea Sam"

"Thanks, shall we the movie is about to start" Jack moved close to Sam and wrapped his arm around her just as the movie started, they were in bed watching it.

The next month when Jack was at work while Sam stayed at home in bed. She managed to get up when she needed to go to the toilet, then she returned back to bed to watch TV, do crossword puzzles, sleep, read, eat or drink. When he was at home he made sure Sam got what she wanted and help her when she needed it.

The weekend of the party Jack and Sam flew down, Jack booked a private plane after the doctors said that they could so long as her feet were up which they both were happy about.

When the plane landed their limo was waiting for them to take them to the 'Rosewood Mansion' hotel that Sam had booked in since when he did some research and found out that it was 'wheelchair accessible' and she saw the photos from the 'Texas hotel guide'. So she booked the room for her and Jack. She also told them that she is in a wheelchair so they could book in 'Parlor suite' for their stay.

When they got to the hotel Jack filled out the papers that needed to be filled out then the guy passed him the key to the room then they followed the bellboy up to their room. Once they were in there and the bellboy was gone, Jack helped Sam to get up and walk over and into the bathroom, then onto the bed.

They order room service since Sam was tired and knew the next day was going to be full on for them both. While waiting for their dinner, Jack helps Sam to get change then into bed.

"How are you feeling?"

"Back killing me and I'm tired"

"How about after dinner I'll give you a back massage, how that sound"

"Mmm sound wonderful Jack" he gave her a kiss, which made her smile

"Jack I think I better lye down"

"Sure" Jack help her to lye down and she rolled on to her side he could see how much pain she was in so he started massaging her back for her

"How long have you been like this for Sam… I mean the pain?"

"Since we hit that air pocket, I think I might of slip a disk"

"Let me know when it hurts"

"Ok" Jack lightly push on to Sam spine while he looked at her face till he it the spot

"That it"

"Ok now just close your eyes and relax"

Sam closed her eyes and relaxed, she felt Jack hand over where the pain is, she felt the heat and healing power coming from him and into her, she felt the pain going away then it was gone. Then she felt Jack move his hand away, she open her eyes and look at him

"Thank you Jack"

"Any time Sam" he bends over and gave her a kiss then there was a knock on the door

"Ah dinner here, hungry"

"Staving" Jack stood up and walked over to answer the door while Sam managed to roll on to her back.

She saw a guy push a trolley into the room then walk out again with Jack behind him then Jack return to see Sam sitting up in bed. Jack got Sam dinner and took it over to her then he returned and got his then he walked over to his side of the bed and got on to it and started eating it and he turned the TV on to see what was on. They watch TV, talk while eating their dinner.

When finished, Jack pushed the trolley out of the way then he stripped down and crawled into bed and snuggled up to Sam. Sam turned the TV off while he was moving the trolley out of the way. Once Jack was snuggled up to Sam back with his hand on her stomach, he made the lights turn off

"Night Sam"

"Night Jack" he kisses the back of her head then they both close their eyes and fall into peaceful sleep.

The next morning they both shower together and make love while in there before getting out and dressing. They went down to the hotel restaurant for breakfast then after breakfast Jack returned back to their room then returned with suit bag and another bag in hand, then he passed them to Sam then he pushed her outside to see their limo waiting for them. Once they were in they waited for a minute then they were on their way to Tracey and Phillip ranch.

"Looking forward to tonight Sam?"

"Yes, you?"

"Yep… looking ford to the cake" Sam laugh

"Jack"

"What, I am" she shook her head at him.

"I just hope that Uncle Phillip hasn't made any chili beans for today" Jack smile at her

"I hope not either"
