on the line for me then at least promise me that you'll stop doing it until the baby is born." Kattie sighed, "Alright. But only until the baby is born. If I can stop it, you won't be getting hurt. Especially not because of me." Jack grunted, "What did I tell you? This is not your fault. None of this. What do I have to do to convince you that it's not your fault?" Kattie put her head back on his chest and closed her eyes, "Don't worry about it. Just go to sleep. I have a feeling you haven't been getting any rest. And stress isn't good for the daddy either." Jack layed down with her and a few minutes later they were asleep.
It was 7:30 in the morning when Kattie woke up. She looked at Jack who was sleeping next to her. He was sound asleep. She kissed his lips and got out of bed. She walked into the room next to her looking for the doctor. She found the doctor in there eating breakfast. When he saw her he said, "Good morning. Ms. Mannel what are you doing out of bed? You should be laying down." Kattie shook her head and sat down in front of his desk, "No. I'm fine. I was just wondering if you had any pain reliever. You see I fell asleep on my chest and now it's aching. But don't tell Jack. I don't want him to worry." The doctor replied and gave her a bottle of pills, "Of course. When ever you get pain in your chest take one of these. Don't ever take two in one day and take them six hours apart. Would you like some breakfast?" Kattie replied, "Thanks for the pills and I'll only eat some breakfast if it's not hot. I didn't eat dinner last night because it burned my chest." The doctor nodded, "Yes that will happend for a while. And I'll make sure you're breakfast isn't too hot. As you're chest heals it will go away. Don't worry. Now I really think you should get back to bed." Kattie gave him a look, "No. And if someone tells me to go lay down one more time, I'm going to scream." About a moment later Jack walked in, "Kattie. What are you doing? You should be in bed. Come on." Kattie closed her eyes and didn't budge, "If you touch me it better be to give me a hug or a kiss. Better not to take me back to bed. I love you." Jack replied, "I love you too. Did I miss something?" The doctor answered, "I've been trying to tell her to go back to her bed ever since she woke up. And she just got done saying that she was going to scream if someone told her to go lay down one more time. And you just said it." Jack laughed, "Oh. But you should." Jack stood her up and made her face him, "Come on. Please. Please go back to bed. For me? For the baby?" Kattie gave him a look, "Don't you throw that in my face. I'm fine and I can be out of bed." Jack smiled and carefully wrapped his arms around her, "Fine. But if you won't listen to me. Will you listen to your brother?" Kattie squinted her eyes at him, "You wouldn't." Jack looked up and then back at her, "I would if it meant getting you back in bed." Kattie thought about it and then replied, "You're not fair. But I don't care. Go get my brother. He can complain and try to put me back in bed all he wants, but I'm not going." Jack backed up and kissed her hand, "I'll be right back. Doctor please get some food into her while I'm gone." The doctor nodded as Jack left, "Already on that."
Jack arrived at the hotel a couple blocks from the doctor's office. He went to the front and asked, "Excuse me, I'm looking for a guy named George Mannel. What room is he in?" The woman replied, "Your highness, Let me see." The woman looked in a book at her desk, "Your highness, he's in room 14. Right down the hall. Last room on the left." Jack nodded, "Thank you." Jack followed her instructions and found a door that said "Room 14" on it. Jack knocked on it. A few moments later George opened the door, "Jack. What's the matter? Is Kattie alright?" Jack answered, "You need to come back with me to the doctor's office. She's alright but she needs to be in bed. The doctor and I have been trying all morning to convince her to go back to her bed, but she just won't listen. I was hoping that she would listen to you." George nodded, "I can get her back in bed although she's not going to like it." George left with him shutting and locking the door behind him.
Kattie was sitting in the waiting room when they arrived. Jack entered first and then George. Kattie got up and went over and kissed Jack and then gave George a hug and kiss on the cheek, "Good morning George. And don't think that you're going to get me back in bed because I'm not going." George looked at her with a firm look on her face, "Kattie. I'm your brother and I love you very much. But I'm only going to ask you once. Can you please go back to bed?" Kattie gave him a look that would kill, "No. I just told you. I'm not going back to bed. Now quit trying." George looked at Jack and then back at Kattie, "I'm sorry Kattie. But you leave me no choice." George picked her up with one arm under her legs and the other around her back, "Jack could you please get the door?" Jack replied, "Certainly." Jack opened the door while George carried Kattie in there kicking with all her might and yelling. Kattie yelled, "George you put me down right now or so help me I'm going to smack you! Put me down! Jack! Don't think I won't get you for this too! You're helping him! Put me down! I refuse to go back to bed!" George said, "I'm sorry Kattie but you need to be in bed. it's doctor's orders. And if you don't stop I'm going to have to tie your hands together. Stop hitting me." George sat her down on the bed and held her there, "Jack. Go get me some rope." Jack hesitated, "Isn't that a little too much?" George said, "Just go get me the rope. Believe me. She may be a woman but she's got some fight in her." Kattie didn't say anything she just sat there trying to get free of his grip. Jack got the rope and gave it to George. George tied her hands together and to the top of the bed, "There. Now I'm sorry Kattie but you have to stay in bed. Even if it means having your hands tied together and to the bed. Which you made me do." Jack sat next to her, "Do you really think that it is neccessary to tie her hands up?" George didn't answer but Kattie said, "You don't know my brother. He will do whatever seems neccessary to get me to do what they think is good for me. That's why I didn't want you to go and get him in the first place. Because I knew he would do something like this. George just wait until I get out of here. You are going to get it. You too Jack." Jack kissed her, "I don't think so." George laughed, "Don't underestimate her. When me and Kevin did something like this before we got it bad. When we untied her she chased us around the house with a bat. I got hit several times. And let me tell you, she hits like a Lumber Jack. It hurts to no ends. So don't think that she won't do it to you." Jack looked at Kattie, "You're one vicious woman. But I think I'll take my chances." Kattie sighed and shook her head giving Jack the darkest look she could give him, "Don't think that your charm will get you out of trouble. You two made me really mad." Jack smiled. George looked serious. He didn't want to face Kattie's fury. Not one bit.
Chapter 17: August 18th Going Back to the Castle and Facing the Consequences
Kattie's hands were still tied to the bed when George walked in. Jack walked in behind him. Kattie asked, "When do I get untied and out of here?" George answered, "Today. We just got done talking to the doctor and he said you can go home today. And Jack said that I could live in an extra room until all this is over." Kattie looked at Jack and smiled, "Well how thoughtful of him. Now I can punish both of you without having to leave. And when I get home I'm not going to bed. No, sir. So untie me." George looked at Jack, "Jack are you sure we should untie her now? She looks like a woman who wants revenge." Kattie yanked on the rope that held her tied to the bed, "George if you don't untie right now, I will find a way out of this rope and you will get it worse than you two already are. And besides I don't hold grudges. You know that. Remember what happend after I beat you with a bat? What did I do? I got stuff for you so you could rest. I did all the chores so you could rest. So get me the hell out of here!" George looked at Kattie, "Kattie. What happend to that mouth of yours? More foul words coming out of it everyday. Alright. Let's get this done and over with." Jack went over and took out a knife to cut the ropes. When Kattie's hands were free she brought them down and rubbed her wrists. Jack took her hands and kissed her hands as if to kiss the pain from the ropes away. Kattie smiled, "Oh now you want to kiss up to me. Well it isn't going to work." Jack backed up a couple of spaces next to George who had his hands behind his back preparing for their punishment. Kattie went over George and looked at him. He smiled as he looked at her waiting for her to do something. Then Kattie brought her hand up and slapped him in his face. George's head turned to the side when she did. There was a red mark where she had slapped him. George brought his face back over to look at her and rubbed his face, "Damn woman! You haven't lost your touch one bit. That hurt." Kattie smiled and kissed his cheek where she had slapped him, "Well I didn't have a bat with me. I love you." Kattie then moved over to Jack who was waiting for her to slap him in the face as well. But Kattie didn't slap him in the face. Instead, she punched him between his legs. Jack bent over immediately and yelled. He hollard so loud that George put his hands over his ears. Jack remarked, "That's not fair! He gets slapped and I get punched down there! What is it with woman hitting down there?!" Kattie brought him back up to where he was standing up. Kattie kissed him passionately, tongues swirling around in each other's mouth. When Kattie pulled back she whispered in his ear, "I'll take care of that later tonight. Don't worry." Jack closed his eyes as a chill ran down his spine. When Kattie looked over George was leaning on the wall laughing. Kattie smiled
