After their day was through, Jack led Elizabeth back to their joining rooms at the hotel.
"Thank you for a wonderful evening." Jack kissed her cheek.
"Mmm I appreciated dancing with you." Elizabeth smiled.
"I think we'll ride back tomorrow, what do you think?" Jack asked.
"Oh yes, that sounds good." Elizabeth smiled.
"Do you think you're going to be alright?" Jack looked into her eyes.
"Yes, as soon as I get out of these shoes that are pinching my feet." Elizabeth looked at her feet.
"Well, I'll go into my room, and let you be." Jack turned around to leave.
"What about my goodnight kiss?" Elizabeth raised an eyebrow.
"Alright." Jack put his arms around her and pulled her closer, kissing her, and slowly leading to her neck.
"Mmm Jack, I love it when you do that."
"Mmm I love it when you let me be your man."
As they had their few special moments a little animal ran into Elizabeth's room, and hid under the bed, they slowly parted, and Jack left her.
After they both finished their bathing, Jack popped his head in her room, and said "Good night!"
Elizabeth pulled her robe around herself a little tighter because she was wearing one of her nightgowns that was not anything Jack should see yet. "Good night, Jack." Elizabeth smiled.
He put his head back in the bathroom and went back to his room. He tossed and turned trying to get comfortable, he wanted to hold Elizabeth, but he knew better, they weren't even engaged, or married. So he grabbed an extra pillow, hoping it would do.
"Mmm Jack stop kissing my toes." Elizabeth giggled in her sleep, it was around three o'clock in the morning. "Jack… Jaaack." Elizabeth giggled aloud as something started licking her face. 'Why is Jack licking my face?' Elizabeth thought as she opened her eyes and looked at a young beagle looking back at her.
"Well hi there, who do you belong to?" Elizabeth sat up and started scratching the dog's ears.
"Wooof!" The dog barked.
"Shhh don't wake up Jack." She giggled. "Oh are you giving me the kisses? Hmm? Who's giving me the kisses?" Elizabeth asked as the young beagle licked her face some more.
"Well I bet your owner is missing you, huh?" Elizabeth hugged the dog.
"Woof!" She happily barked.
"Okay, you can stay here until I get up, but then we got to find your owner."
The dog immediately crawled under Elizabeth's blankets and curled up next to her.
The next morning, Jack decided to surprise Elizabeth and kiss her, so he crept in and leaned in to kiss Elizabeth, but instead got a wet kiss from the dog.
"What the?!" Jack asked.
"Woof wooooof!" The dog wagged her tail and wanted to kiss Jack some more.
"Good morning, Jack." Elizabeth opened her eyes and reached for her robe.
"This was not the surprise I was looking for." Jack bent down to the dog, who gave him another wet kiss.
"She was kissing my toes last night and was licking my face, I thought it was you." Elizabeth told him the truth.
"I wish it was me." Jack scratched the dog's ears.
"Well, it looks like you're ready to go, apparently I'm not." Elizabeth looked at her robe, hiding her nightgown.
"Well, don't worry. We won't leave for about an hour." Jack kissed her lips, very gently, and was stopped when the girl dog licked Jack.
"She's jealous." Jack observed.
"Seems like it, well I'll get ready, and before we go, I guess we'll take the dog down." Elizabeth smiled.
"Okay, I'll go finish packing." Jack kissed her cheek and left.
As Elizabeth got ready to dress, she forgot her other corset was down with the female hotel workers, they had to fix it the other night for her.
"Hmm, I can't wear my other one, because it won't go right with my dress, come here girl, you're gonna give a message to Jack." Elizabeth quickly wrote a message, and took a bracelet and stuck it on the dog's neck.
"Now go to Jack…go on!" She giggled. The dog nosed the partially closed doors open, and ran into Jack's room.
"Woof!" She barked.
"Okay, what you got here for me?" Jack said pulling out the note.
'Jack, I have something down at the desk, just tell them they have something for Ms. Thatcher, and they'll hand you the box for me. I would get it myself, but I need to finish packing. Thanks, Jack.'
"Okay, Elizabeth! I'll be back!" Jack said.
"Thank you!" Elizabeth giggled as she waited for Jack to bring back the box.
"Excuse me?" Jack asked the young lady at the desk.
"Oh. Hello there, so sorry I didn't see you, Constable. May I help you?" Kyra asked.
"Oh yes, I'm here to pick up a box for Ms. Thatcher."
"Oh, let me see. I'll be right back." Kyra smiled. "Michelle? Have you seen Ms. Thatcher's box?"
"Oh yeah, isn't she the one with the corset we fixed?" Michelle started looking at thee boxes.
'Don't tell me she sent me down here for a corset.' Jack thought.
"Constable, here it is." Kyra said handing him the box.
"Thank you." Jack tipped his hat.
"Enjoy!" Michelle smiled.
"Uhm…yeah…." Jack said as he quickly walked away.
"Hi Jack!" Elizabeth seemed cheerful as Jack handed her the box.
"It had better fit you." Jack kissed her, and then shut the door.
"It will!" Elizabeth yelled through the door. "I got it made to fit me better." Elizabeth whispered.
After they left their rooms, with their bags, Elizabeth almost tripped with the eager dog running around her legs.
"I think the dog thinks it's going home with us." Jack laughed.
"No she's going back to her owner." Elizabeth laughed.
When they got downstairs, they asked the girls about the owner of the dog.
"Oh you mean Lily? No she doesn't have a home, she just lives here, everyone loves Lily." Kyra smiled and scratched Lily's ears.
"Lily is a beautiful name…can she come home with us?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yes, if you want, she's yours." Michelle smiled.
"Well Lily, what do you say?" Jack asked as he picked up the dog and held her in his arms.
"Woof!"Lily barked and started kissing Jack.
"I guess it is a yes!" Michelle smiled.
"How are we going to get her home though?" Elizabeth asked.
"I am visiting my Aunt in Coal Valley in a couple of days, if you want I can take her with me then." Kyra brought up.
"Sounds good, who's your Aunt?" Jack asked.
"Mrs. Montgomery." Kyra smiled.
"Oh we both know her, wonderful woman. So we'll see you and Lily then, then?" Jack asked.
"Yes! See you then." Kyra smiled.
"Oh come here Lily, I'll see you soon, okay?" Elizabeth asked taking a hold of Lily in her arms.
"Woof!" Lily barked as Elizabeth handed her back to Kyra.
"See ya soon!" Kyra waved.
While Jack and Elizabeth said goodbye to their Mountie friends, Kyra and Michelle got to talking.
"I think they'll make good parents some day."Michelle sighed and leaned against the door frame.
"I know, I saw them with how they handled the dog, I can't wait to see them with a child." Kyra smiled.

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed! :) Yes, it can be quite dangerous with Jack exploring...but, it won't go any farther... As my friend/cousin Katherine says "Angelica, I really don't know what is up your sleeve next!", and I hope someone else is thinking the same thing... But don't worry, I don't have anything bad. Just some more trouble and romance. *evil grin*
