Bed rest stunk. Nothing for me to do except get lost in my own thoughts. I had Jack visiting a lot more then I expected. May would come too, especially since I was stuck in the Warren. She'd sometimes bring the boys with her too. But May would not stop teasing me about Jack. It almost came to a point where I was going to hurt her. I would have if Jack had over heard. She'd just finished her one comment a minute before Jack waltzed into the room.

"How are you feeling?" Jack asked.

"Fine." I replied. May excused her self from the room. Jack didn't look so well himself. He looked sick. "Are you okay?" I asked. I knew I looked well, but Jack looked like he hadn't slept in the longest of times. "You look tired."

"I was worried." Jack told me.

"About me?" He nodded. "I'm fine!" I informed him. "I'll be up in a couple of days. I've been using too much of my powers and the way it's been I can understand why this has never happened before. Mother and May both say that I'll be fine in a three more days max." I smiled at him trying not to make him worry. "You on the other hand look like a yeti sat on you."

"It feels like it."

"Here." I said scooting over on the bed. "Come relax with me." I didn't think he'd actually take me up on my offer, but he did. There was just the two of us in the bed. In the room alone I swear if I kept thinking about it my face was going to catch on fire.

"I'm tired."

"You can sleep." I said trying my hardest not to cuddle up to him. I wanted so bad to hold him. Maybe stroke his snow-white hair until he fell asleep. It looked so soft. I wanted to know just how soft it actually was.

"Thanks." He rested his head on my shoulder.

We talked for quite awhile until he fell asleep and I followed not soon after.


I woke up slightly cold, but when I saw Jack spooning me I almost re-died. My back was cuddle into his chest. He was holding me tightly with both arms around the waist. I looked up to see May with my camera above us as the flash went off. I glared at her. She smiled widely at me and quickly fled knowing that I cannot follow her.

I wanted to get up, but I was also content being in Jack's arms. It took me awhile, but I decided to go back to sleep. After all I wasn't the one holding a death grip on anyone I was just sleeping on my side like any normal person would do.


I woke up the second time to a thunk. When I looked over Jack had fallen off the bed and onto the floor.

"You okay?" I asked pretty much knowing why he was on the ground. I wasn't going to say anything.

"Yeah."

"What'd you do roll out?"

"Something like that."

"How'd you sleep?"

"Great. Thanks. I needed it."

"You're welcome."

I convinced Jack to take me on a small stroll around the Warren. I felt strong enough. Mother told me I had to get up from time to time anyway. We ran into my nephews playing around in a field. I tired to join in a bit but Jack made me sit down on a rock. There isn't much I could do sitting down. Though Zeke and Pierce demanded I tell them a story.

"Alright."

"Yes!" Zeke and Pierce got their way. Orion and Junior soon jointed us. Of course since Jack had nothing better to do he sat down like the boys.

"Once upon a time…" I started oh this was going to be fun.

Story

There once was a girl named Samantha. She loved her best friend Clark. When Samantha was going to tell Clark. He told her that he was now dating Rachel. Rachel was a controlling towards Clark. She always made him do things that were completely out of character. Samantha didn't know what to do. She didn't like what her best friend had become. She found out that Rachel actually had Clark under a spell and evil spell. Samantha couldn't help but feel the need to rescue her friend.

Samantha found Clark with Rachel one day. Rachel had him tied up and was torturing him. Samantha fought Rachel, but Rachel used Clark to fight back. She didn't want to hurt her best friend, but she knew if she ever wanted him back she had to. A fight ensued Samantha and Clark battled it out. Throwing punches and kicks until Samantha was finally able to knock Clark unconscious. Then she was able to take out the evil Rachel.

Rachel was quick to surrender when she saw the power that Samantha had. Samantha was able to get Clark back. They became best friends once again. Samantha confessed her feelings towards Clark. Clark admitted that he loved Samantha too. They were happy to be together at last. The two lived happily ever after.

End

"Girls can't fight." Junior said.

"Yes they can!" Pierce said. "Mommy fought before."

"That's right I did." May said walking into the field. "You boys having fun?"

"Yes!" They all shouted together.

"Good. Now go wash up for lunch, but first find your father. I have no idea where the man ran off to again."

"Okay mommy!" The boys all ran off to find their father.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm fine." I replied. "Felt like taking a walk made Jack go with me."

"Good you needed some air."

May left Jack and me to ourselves. Jack joined me on the rock since it was big enough for two. The field was completely empty besides for the two of us. I didn't know what to say thankfully Jack spoke first.

"Where'd the story come from?" Jack asked.

I wanted to tell him that most of it was the truth. That he was Clark and I was Samantha. That Rachel was actually Tooth and I thought she was evil. I wanted to tell Jack that I was in love with him no matter how hard I tried not to be. It was no use. I couldn't do it at least not now. I would wait until I thought the timing was right. Maybe once I was better I'd be able to confess my feelings. "I made it up."

"It didn't sound made up."

"Well it was." Lies lots and lots of lies. "Let's go get lunch." I changed the subject it was all I could do.
