Been busy. Thank you to Fellow dork, you rock and I'm flattered. Now that we've been through that flashback, here's the next chapter.

'I really wanted to impress her.' thought Jack. "Now look at us. Married for two years, about to have twins. Best two years of my life." he said to himself. But it hadn't been easy. The doctor had been...reluctant, to let Sally go.

One night, Jack and Sally had been out late, and Sally was late to get home. Usually Sally left Jack at the door, but he had followed her in this time. The doctor started yelling at Sally the moment she stepped through the door. Sally just stood there and took it, but Jack had never been as patient and calm as her.

"You have no right to talk to her like that!!" he had yelled. "You stay out of this Jack, it doesn't concern you!" the doctor shot back. Jack had been outraged at this.

"Sally doesn't have to take this and she doesn't have to deal with you!!" he screamed. "Well it just so happens I own her and she happens to live here!!" the doctor screamed right back. Both men looked at Sally, who until up until then had remained silent and looking at her feet.

"Sally can live with me." Jack said, mostly to Sally. "Are you mad?! Of course she can't, why..."

"I think I'd like that." Sally said softly.

"What?!" the doctor yelled.

"I'd like to live with Jack." Sally said, louder and firmer this time. Dr.Finklestien's mouth was gaping.

"Well, it's settled then, lets go get your things." Jack said, exploding with joy that Sally actually wanted to live with him. He always thought if you were going to do something, you ought to do it now.

They headed up to Sally's room (a cell more like) and gathered her few possesions. "But, Sally can't leave, who will make my dinner, and scrub the floors, and..." the doctor started. Jack whirled around.

"Sally is an independent being. She does not owe you a life of servitude. If you ever try to bring Sally back here I will personally hunt you down, do you understand doctor?" Jack said in a dangerous voice. The doctor shut up.

Jack and Sally went back downstairs, then headed out the front door. Sally did not say a word until Jack had closed the heavy door behind them and they were alone on the front porch. Suddenly, she threw her arms around him and said, "Jack! Thank you for saving me! You have no idea how horrible it was living there!" Jack smiled. "As long as I'm here, you'll never have to go back." he kissed her.

END FLASHBACK

Jack looked at the clock. It was now 11. "I'd better go to sleep." Jack mumbled to himself. He eventually found his way back to the makeshift bedroom he and Sally were staying in. He saw sally already asleep on the small bed. Jack remembered that while he had gotten clothes, he had not gotten pajamas. Jack slipped off his shoes, and climbed into bed with her. They slept all through the night.

I always wondered how Sally escaped from the doctor, so I decided I'd tell it in a chapter. I hope anyone who's still reading this enjoyed that. Tommorrow will be an important day for the Pumpkin King and Queen. As always, PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!
