Chapter 138

"I'll go first," Krystal replied. Dr. Cook swabbed the skin and quickly gave Krystal the Filgrastim shot. Then he moved on to Krista. 'WOW! That had hurt like hell!' Krystal thought and wasn't sure she could put her weight on that leg or not. Watching the Doctor repeat the process with Kris she felt sorry for her sister.

Reminding the girls of the side affects he sent his nurse to call a taxi for them. "I'll see you both next Friday unless you suffer any undue side affects from the shots."

"I don't know about you, but my shot hurt like the devil," complained Krystal.

"Thank goodness! I didn't want to say anything, you seem to hold up so well, but yes it was indeed painful," Krista replied trying to limp about the room to relieve some of the pain.

The taxi arrived and the nurse was nice enough to help the twins outside and into the taxi. Before they were half way to the shop both twins were so tried they could barely keep their eyes open. They hurt and ached everywhere.

Once at the shop Krystal had dug into her purse and paid the drive and they helped each other stumble inside. Nodding to Serena Berns, who Krista had hired to help out in the shop during the times that she would need to be away, they helped each other up stairs and Krystal just wanted to fall on the bed. Krista smiled and said, "I think I'll take a nice bath in the whirlpool it will help relieve some of the pain."

"Sounds wonderful. Here I'll help you get inside and I'll climb in bed until you get done. Then I'll give it a try," Krystal help Krista into the bathroom and it took both of them to remove Kris's clothes and get her in the water. "Will you be able to yell for me? I might as well lay down here on the floor, I'm not sure I can make it back to the bed and then in here to help you out. Maybe I should call the men to come home early."

"Don't be silly, it would only worry them and this is only the beginning. There's plenty of room just take off your clothes and climb in. That way we can both help each other out," Kris said turning on the jets.

Krystal looked longingly at the whirlpool, "Are you certain you don't mind?"

"Positive, after all we're identical twins what's one of us got the other one doesn't except my burgeoning belly? Now, shut up, and get in, before you fall on your face," Kris ordered.

Just barely getting her clothes off and slipping into the whirlpool with her sister, the two of them lay still. It was not long before the whirlpool lulled they both asleep.

Serena was behind the counter when Tom and AJ arrived at Krista's shop at almost an hour later. "Hello?" Tom said to her.

"Hi! Can I help you gentlemen?"

"Yes, this is my wife's shop and we're looking for her and her sister," AJ told her.

"Oh! They came back from the doctor in a cab about an hour ago and went upstairs to rest. They were both so tired. Krista took some oils up with her for tea, I think."

"Thank you," the two men said and headed for the stairs. They entered the apartment and didn't find the girls in the kitchen or living room.

"Well, if they were that tired they might have gone in to lay down," Tom suggested, looking at the bedroom door.

"Are they in there, Tom?" AJ asked worried that they had been foolish and tired to go shopping and were laid sprawled in a department store to tired to move or in pain.

"AJ, its your wife's apartment, you should be the one to go in there and look, not me!"

AJ went into the bedroom and found it empty, he poked his head out and told Tom, "I hear the whirlpool running, and one of them must be in it. One of us should check it out. What to see
which one it is? I'll check with Serena, where the other one went?" AJ asked looking at Tom and the bathroom door then back at Tom again.

"No, you go in there and I'll go down and ask Serena where the other one is!" Tom was not going to walk in on Krista in the tub!
