Two months had passed and Jane was close to losing her sanity, she could not take it being in that room for one more minute! Though she knew no one, especially Octavius was going to let her out of there, so she came up with a plan, pretend yawning Jane shooed a healthier Octavius off.
"Are you sure you want me to leave?" Octavius asked.
"Yes, come now, I don't need to watch me sleep, now go," Jane said.
Walking towards the door he spun around, "If you need me you tell the doctor."
"I will."
"Also, remember to call for help if you need anything, I don't want you stepping out of that bed!" Octavius commanded.
"Alright," Jane lied. As soon as he was gone, Jane carefully stood up. She was a little disoriented for she had not been out of bed forever Ahkmenrah proved his tablet could do anything it made a copy of Jane for when the sun went up and it did nothing, but sit there and blink so she had never been up, but after a few seconds she was fine. Taking a coat Ida left here yesterday she put it on; surprised it fit her…a little. Silently Jane tip toed out of the office. Goodness Jane felt wonderful.
The author began to walk around the Frontier.
Jane kept her head down as best as she could while walking through the Frontier. She knew that if Jed or Ida saw her, they would send her back to that dreadful room. Suddenly, she bumped into someone.
"Oh excuse me, I'm sorry," she said.
"Oh it's you," the person said.
Jane looked up and Regina staring hatefully back at her. Then Jane realized who this woman was. "My goodness…"
Right the Regina pulled on the coat trying to grab Jane, "Let me go!" Jane screamed coming out of the coat, but Regina got hold of Jane, and started beating Jane on any part of her body she could get hold of, while Jane struggled. Regina hurried and took Jane farther away. To where she could beat on her more.
Meanwhile Jed and Ida were walking around when they saw Ida's coat that is when they saw Jane and Regina. "My goodness Jane!" Ida exclaimed as they ran to her.
Jed pried Regina off of her, "Get Jane out of here!" Jed yelled as Ida took her to the doctors. Regina was much stronger than she looked Jed found out. Regina then bit Jed's arm as he let go, Regina was given enough time to get a large stick.
Taking it in her hands she swung it towards Jed's head and hit him, his rolled into the back of his head, and fell to the ground. Regina chuckled evilly at the cowboy.
Though she did not have long to savor the moment, for suddenly a blow came to Regina, her body went cold, her eyes like Jed's rolling back, passing out on the ground. To reveal Ida, "No one beat's up my man, but me!" Ida said. Then ran over to where Jedidiah laid.
…
Ida, the doctor, and Octavius all stood around Jed who was lying in the cot. "Are you alright Jedidiah?" Ida asked.
He shook his head, "Yup," rubbing the back of his head. "That is going to hurt in the morning…How's Jane?"
Octavius huffed, "She's fine," he said angrily.
"What's the matter with you?" Jed asked.
Ida sighed, "Octavius is mad at Jane for sneaking out. So…he is giving her the silent treatment."
"She deserves it," Octavius said bitterly. Jane was meanwhile in another room.
"Oh come off it Octavius," Jed said standing up.
"Why? She disobeyed me! I told her not to get out of bed!" Octavius yelled.
"Did you ever think that maybe she was just getting tired of being in the some room night after night lying on her back for two months?!" Jed yelled back.
"Still she could have jeopardized the baby's health!" Octavius yelled.
"Now I admit you have a point there, but if she was just allowed to walk around for a while and not have everyone treating her like some sort of fragile object then maybe she wouldn't have sneaked out! And I wouldn't have been whacked over the head!" Jed yelled back.
"Alright that is enough!" Ida yelled.
Octavius and Jed were now staring at each other angrily. Then realization came over Octavius face.
"Your right," he said, "I don't know what it feels like."
"Come on Jed lets let them have time alone," Ida said.
"Good because I'm going starting to get a headache and want to lie down," Jedidiah said.
Ida and Jed left.
Guilt flooded over Octavius, he had been acting so cruel towards Jane. He didn't even think of how she might have been feeling. The Roman general stood in front of the door that was between him and Jane. Knocking on the door, a muffled, come in, was heard.
Opening the door Jane was laying in the cot the covers covering Jane. Slowly he walked towards her. "Jane," he said, "may I speak with you?" No response came she scooted a little for him to sit the cot.
Sitting on the cot his back was to Jane. "Jane, I am sorry for being so cross with you, and not speaking to you. You didn't deserve that," he paused a moment trying his best to hold the tears back. "It's just…you or the baby…or both of you could have…Oh Jane!" he cried, tears streaming down his face. Feeling horrible with grief, worry, embarrassment (for crying), and stress. Sniffling, "If something were to happen to you or the baby…I'd never be able to forgive myself!"
Gently Jane's hand rested on Octavius'. "It is alright Octavius. I-I'm sorry for sneaking out, behind your back," Jane said silently, kissing Octavius tear stained cheek. Telling herself to never do that again.
