Chapter 162
"Well, Darlin', now you know I love to make love with you. I was more or less think about our long-term future.
"So what do you think it would take to spring a jail break from this place?"
"You're not going anywhere until Dr. Vossen releases you, young lady! That's final!"
"Where is your sense of adventure? Is it that you think you are too OLD to sneak past the nurse guards?"
"No, I think YOU'RE to sick and weak to sneak past the nurse guards, Darlin'."
"Oooooh thems fighting words!" she sat up and started to swing her legs over the edge of the bed saying, "Come on, Krys, this is a jail break!"
"Ummmm your sister is intent on escape?" Tom asked.
"Believe me, I don't think she'll get very far. I know I couldn't."
"Krista, why risk undoing all the good that's already been done? Please, sweetheart, lay back down and let the transplant work, for me."
"I'm going to have to rethink this marriage thing, Albert...you're a stick in the mud!" she said as she laid back down and cuddled into his arms.
"I think she just thought better of it too," Tom said holding Krystal close.
"You do that, Darlin', and I'll hold you tight while you think about it."
"Ha! You just don't want me escaping!" she giggled
"I'll never let you escape my arms or life, so there no use in trying."
"You sleep, darling, I just want to hold you in my arms and watch you," he whispered. "I could watch your beautiful face for hours."
It seemed the four had not been asleep any time at all when Big Bertha came in and switched on the light. "Good morning, kiddies. Time for your shots, ladies, and checking your blood pressure and temperature. If everything reads all right then Dr. Vossen said that the catheter could come out this morning. Won't that be fun?" she laughed going about her business giving the twins their shot of Filgrastim and checking all their vitals.
"Someone kill her. Damn it, I'm in pain," cried Krystal
"Darlin', are you all right or are you in pain too?" asked a worried AJ.
Krista did not want him to know just how bad she was hurting and he would if he heard how strained her voice was when she spoke so she simply nodded at him
AJ started to apply the oil. He has just started to massage it in good when he was interrupted. "What are you using on her?" demanded Big Bertha. "Both of you, what are you applying to these women?"
"They're pain relief oils!" Krista snapped. "So far though I haven't found any that can relieve a pain as big as you!"
Tom nearly dropped the bottle of oil he was holding as he doubled over with laughter at Krista's comment.
"Well I never!" huffed off Big Bertha to call the doctor.
"Maybe you should sometime, it would improve your disposition," AJ calmly said.
"Do you guys have someone you don't really like that's desperate enough for a woman that he might take her on?" Krista asked.
"No one comes to mind, unless it would be a sailor who'd been out to sea too long."
"What about that Rabb guy that you don't like?" Krista asked.
"I wouldn't even wish her on Rabb!"
Suddenly the door opened and Big Bertha came back inside. "Dr. Vossen has ordered the catheter removed…so surprise!" she said waving her gloved hands.
"Ok, which one of you is first?" grinned Bertha looking from bed to bed.
Being brave Krista gulped and said, "Me I guess."
Lifting her gown, Big Bertha said, "Now take a deep breath and let it out slowly."
She wasn't gentle, but Krista kept her mouth shut as Big Bertha went over to Krystal. As soon as the nurse left the room Krista went back to sleep again. The night was calm and the tea was soothing so the women slept for a little over four hours before waking up in pain again.
The twins woke up at almost at the same moment. Krista, not wanting to wake Albert who slept on next to her, reached for the bottle of pain relief oil for herself.
