Chapter 319 Fallen

"You're mother hates me," Scarlett said when Jax woke from his afternoon nap.
He was sitting up in bed with a lightweight blanket over him.
"I'm sure she only dislikes you a little. Anything happen I should know about?"
"She called again and I told her you were asleep. She got even angrier this time when I wouldn't wake you up," Scarlett said with a grin. "I told her to be nice to me or I wouldn't pass her messages on to you."
"How'd she take that?"
"She muttered something about how I may have some power now but it wouldn't last. I suggested she improve her attitude and ended the call. It may take awhile, but I'm going to get her trained. I'm going to use behavioral modification techniques on her."
"I hope it works because I'd love to see that," Jax said chuckling. "Did you tell her that I fell?"
"Why did you fall again? I forgot."
"You are one hell of a cruel nurse. I fell because I tried walking without crutches."
"I remember now. I found you on the floor and you had to crawl to the bed to pull yourself up."
"I haven't crawled since I was a baby."
"It is humbling when your body doesn't work."
"Did you tell Gemma that I fell?" he repeated his question.
"No, I didn't tell her. She would have blamed me. I'm sure she would have told me that I should have been watching you more closely and it wouldn't have happened if she'd been taking care of you. Instead, I called and told Tara."
"Did the two of you come up with a punishment for me?"
"Oh, yeah. Stitches need to stay in an extra day, so maybe Saturday or Sunday they can come out. You also need an extra day of bed rest. You may not be able to go back to work next week because you are still going to be on crutches. When we get back to Charming on Sunday, Tara will assess you further."
"I don't mind the bed rest when you're with me."
"You are just trying to sweet talk me so I don't lecture you anymore about how stupid it was for you to try to walk without your crutches."
"I really thought I could walk."
"Jax you had surgery because you got shot. You had four bullets in you. Your body is weak."
"Does it feel weak to you?"
"You just want me to feel your abs again," she teased. "You lost blood and you're damned lucky not to have an infection. If you misbehave again, I will zip tie you to the bed."
"You can be a harsh woman, Scarlett."
"Would you rather have your mother take care of you?"
"Is that even a question? Why don't you keep me company in bed? I'll let you feel my abs."
"Let me get you your next round of medication and I'll spend a few minutes with you."
Scarlett was going back to knocking Jax out with sleeping meds. He would just get into trouble if he had too much awake time.
