Chapter Seven; Midnight Phone Call

I'm SO sorry this is so late but I had a very busy day and I was posting my latest Harry Snape story. Anyway, thanks for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and as you can see I took your advice about Jeannie talking to Tony last. I generally do listen to suggestions like that unless it's just pure hate and flames or something like that. This is sort of a random thought but I actually really do like Jeannie's name (as well as Tony's) and I think it's very pretty. A lot prettier than her real name Fawzia.

Or so I've read that that's her real name. I didn't like the fact that they changed the status that she wasn't born a genie later on in the series and so in the next episode when Jeannie II comes back, it is revealed that she is her half-sister instead of her fraternal twin sister or whatever she is supposed to be. That's one episode before she goes to visit Tony and Roger in Texas.

By the way, as I stated before. This show was written and ended years and years before I was even born so I am doing my best in making the time period accurate since I still love it so much. I've been doing my research and talking to my about certain things that I'm not sure about so I hope you think that I'm doing a good job with that. Anyway, here's the next chapter!

(Oh and I just found out that Barbra Eden actually knew Elvis Presley. How ironic is that lol love his music)

Doctor Bellows and Jeannie walked into the casino together. That's when all of a sudden Doctor Bellows pulled her aside. "Now Jeannie, it's against my better judgement and Amanda might come to hate me for this but I couldn't help it." He began in a whisper. "Do you think that you could help me win some money tonight? After all, that way I could make sure that Peter and Sarah are financially covered and then we'll have a better chance of adopting them. I'm also thinking about buying my wife that puppy that she always wanted. Then how mad at me could she possibly get?" he questioned.

"Yes Master!" Jeannie exclaimed excitedly with a nod before extending her thumb into the air while Doctor Bellows just simply grinned at her.

"Good. But you better keep it down. Peter's already suspicious about you calling Colonel Nelson your master and he's seen the bottle that we keep in our room. Why it wouldn't surprise me a bit if he's starting to put two and two together. I mean he is a very smart little boy." He said.

"I'm sorry Doctor Bellows, but does it really matter if the children know that I am a genie? Because I really don't think that it would do them very much harm. I don't think that they'll say anything." She told him.

"Of course not. It's everybody else in the world that worries me. And now I know exactly how Colonel Nelson and Colonel Healey felt trying to keep you a secret from me for all of those years. Now let's go, I'm feeling lucky tonight!" he exclaimed excitedly before he grabbed her arm and pulled her away.

….

Roger Healey was on his way back from the bathroom when he realized that Tony was still pacing the living room floor. "What are you still doing up? It's after midnight. Aren't you going to bed?" he wondered before Tony stopped and looked at him.

"Rog! I can't go to bed now! Jeannie's loose in Las Vegas, and she's out in a casino with Doctor Bellows right now! Don't you realize how much trouble that she could get into!?" he exclaimed.

"Yeah, I know, you're right." Roger replied with a nod of his head. "Do you know what you need?" he asked him.

"What?" Tony inquired.

"A genie." Roger replied.

"Oh come on Rog, it's not just the money and gambling that I'm worried about. Lots of men roam around at night especially at those kinds of places and they would do anything in their power to take advantage of her." He said.

"Really?" Roger questioned him with uncertainty.

"Yes." Tony replied.

"Well that settles it then, we're going to Nevada." Roger told him with a nod.

"What!? Roger are you crazy!? We can't do that! We're on a mission and besides, how would we even get there?" Tony questioned him.

"I don't know but frankly I don't care!" he snapped.

"Come on Rog, don't be so hasty. I mean after all Jeannie is with Doctor Bellows and I'm sure that he wouldn't let anybody hurt her." Tony told him.

"You forget, it's not just Jeannie that we have to protect. She's pregnant and since she's like my sister that makes the baby inside of her like my future niece or nephew." He said.

"You're right." Tony realized as he turned over to look at him. "But what are we going to do? Jeannie's gone so she can't blink us there." He said.

"No, but Jeannie said that Mrs. Bellows is back at the hotel with Peter and Sarah tonight. I'll go ahead and call her." Roger told him before he started making his way towards the telephone. "Oh great, I must really love Jeannie if I'm willing to risk being thrown out of the space program for her." He said.

"Yeah, tell me about." Tony agreed with a nod. "But hers and the baby's safety means more to me than anything else in the world." He said as Roger picked up the telephone and started dialing the hotel number.

"Yeah, me too." He said before the telephone started to ring and a few moments later Mrs. Bellows picked up and answered it.

"Hello?" she said with uncertainty.

"Hello Mrs. Bellows this is Roger Healey." He began.

"Roger Healey? What in the world are you doing calling so late? Why it's after midnight where you are and you and Colonel Nelson should be in bed since you have a lot of work to get done." She said before Tony who was listening nearby grabbed the phone from Roger.

"We called because we're worried about Jeannie that's why." He told her.

"Jeannie? Jeannie's fine she's out with Alfred right now." She assured him.

"Yes but do you know where she's at?" Tony questioned her.

"Yes she's at a casino. I thought she told you both that earlier. I was here listening to her when she mentioned it." She replied before Roger grabbed the phone back from Tony.

"Hello!? She's a genie! Don't you realize how dangerous it is to bring a genie into a casino!?" he hollered.

"Well look who's talking." Tony muttered under his breath with a roll of his eyes.

"Besides that the woman is pregnant and what if she gets hurt!? Did you ever stop and think about that!?" he shouted angrily.

"Colonel Healey please calm down, Jeannie is perfectly fine. Alfred won't let anything happen to her or the baby I promise you that." She reassured him as Tony took the phone again.

"I'm sorry about that Mrs. Bellows, Roger's brotherly instincts are starting to kick in. Anyway, we're only concerned that's all." Tony told her as Roger quickly grabbed the phone back.

"Yeah! And we want the next flight to Nevada!" he cried adamantly.

"Oh come on Colonel Healey, you know as well as I know that you and Colonel Nelson can't do that. You're on a very important mission and you'll get tossed out of the space program if you just suddenly abort it like that. Look, I'll make sure that Jeannie gives you both a call tomorrow morning since it'll probably be even later when she gets back. Now please for heaven's sake calm down and get some rest. You're really blowing this way more out of proportion than you need to be doing." Mrs. Bellows told him as Tony took the phone from him one last time.

"Thank you Mrs. Bellows, that's all I ask." He told her.

"You're welcome Colonel Nelson, now goodnight." She said before she heaved a heavy sigh and hung up the phone with a roll of her eyes before turning around and walking away.

Hehe, I have to be going to bed myself soon so I decided to cut it here. I just sort of threw this part in here last minute because I thought that it was a really cute idea. Brother Roger is so cute isn't he?
