just sleeping. Thank you. And thank you for letting me know earlier. It would have
been devastating if she went through with what she was planning on doing." Mr. McNight asked, "Your welcome, sir. Sir, what
was it that she was going to do?" Jack sighed, "I can't exactly share that with you because it's not my buisness to tell you.
Maybe when she wakes you can ask her." Mr. McNight nodded and left. Jack just stood there for a while leaning against the
wall next to the door, thinking about what just happend and what would've happend if he was a second too late. It hurt him to
think about it. He couldn't believe she did that, but he would do the same in a heart beat if he was in her shoes. If it meant
saving her then he would sacrifice himself for her. He understood perfectly why she did it. He wasn't mad at her. Not at all. He
felt good knowing that she loved him so. And he felt so relieved that he got to her first before she went with him. He loved
her too much to put her through the horrors of Victor and she was carrying his child.
Jack had fell asleep sitting on the chair with his head aainst the wall when Kattie came out. Kattie just stood there and
looked at the man who had promised to save her from Victor. She loved him so. But the question still rattled around in her
head; how was she going to save Jack? But she wasn't going to go about it the way she did today. She had to realize that
she had more than just his life to save. She had her child's life. Kattie kissed his forehead and went downstairs. She sat in
Jack's office in his seat. Mr. McNight came in and seen her sitting there, "My lady, how are you?" Kattie answered, "I'm fine
thank you. And thank you for telling Jack earlier than I had said." Mr. McNight asked, "My apologies for intruding on your
business, but...if I may ask...What was it you were about to do?" Kattie looked at him and began to explain, "Well to put a
long story short. I broke up with a guy because he was abusive and he killed my family. I moved here to England to get away
and fell in love with Jack but the guy found me. He wants me back. He threatened to kill Jack if I didn't go back with him
willingly. So I couldn't let his life be my fault too so I tried to go back with him to save Jack. But Jack found me and convinced
me to come back." Mr. McNight was horrified by the story, "That's terrible. I'm so sorry for your loss. And it is a good thing
that Jack got to you in time." Kattie stared at him, "And what makes what I was going to do even worse was...I'm pregnant
with Jack's baby. I guess I haven't yet totally gotten the motherly instincts. But I'm working on that. And I think that Jack
actually understands why I did it." Mr. McNight was shocked. He had no idea that she was pregnant. "Well, I'm sorry maim,
but I have to go back to work. I hope everything works out for you." Mr. McNight said and left. Kattie just sat in the chair. She
held her hands on her stomach and thought about her unborn baby. She was delighted that she was pregnant with Jack's
baby. Overjoyed. She loved him very much. She would, obviously, do anything for him. Just as he would for her. But all her
thinking was interrupted when Jack walked in and over to her. He stood in front of her. She stood up and looked at him. He
looked into her eyes, "Kattie. When I just think of what could've happend to you today if I didn't get there in time. It just...just
promise me something. Promise me you won't do that again." Kattie went into his arms as they wrapped around her, locked
around her, "I won't. I promise. But he's going to be looking for me. He'll kill you if he finds you." Jack replied, "He's not
killing me or you or the baby. I promise." Jack bent his head and kissed her. They kissed passionately. Like they did right
before she had left. 'Cause indeed, they both felt like they had just lost each other. Like they just found each other. They
didn't want to leave each others arms ever again. They would hate to be taken out of each others arms. But Kattie pulled
away and looked at him, "Are you mad at me?" Jack smiled, "No I'm not mad at you. I truely understand why you did it. I
would do the same if I could save you. But I'm not dying. Nobody's ever going to any time soon. I love you." Kattie hugged
him and rested her head against his chest, "I love you." A minute later Kattie pulled away and held his hands, "What time is
it?" Jack looked at the clock then back at her, "It's 4:30 going on five. Why?" Kattie kissed him, "Stay here. I'll be back."
Kattie left and Jack just stood there looking at the door thinking about what she had in store.
About five to ten minutes later Kattie walked back in wearing the dress he first saw her in. Jack asked, "What's this all
about?" Kattie smiled, "I don't know. You tell me." Kattie spinned around once to let him look at her bare back. Jack smiled
and walked over to her. He put his arms around her placing his hands on her back, "You know the first time I saw you in this I
wanted to put my hands on your back, but we weren't together like we are now. Which reminds me, you said you were going
to stand me up." Kattie pulled back, "No. I didn't say I was going to stand you up, I rejected you. And I think I'll make you
want some more." Jack playingly growled at her, "That's not fair." Kattie grabbed his hand and led him to the other dinning
room where no one ever ate in. In there there was a table for two with a white cloth covering the entire table with the ends
hanging out. There were two skinny candles in the middle of the table that were lit. The silver-ware were lined up neatly next
to the plates of spagetti and meatballs. The chairs were set so the two would be looking at each other. Kattie looked at her
masterpeice and then back up at Jack, who was also smiling, "So how much more romantic can you get?" Jack looked at her
with a look that told her that he could and would make it more romantic. Jack recited a poem, "The way your eyes sparkles.
The way your hair blows in the wind. The smile that I love. The kiss that paralizes me. The lips that are a red as roses. Are all
apart of you.Which makes all those a part of me. Because all of you is mine." Helooked at her for a response. She was
smiling at him, "That's so cute. Who wrote it?" Jack pulled her in, "I did." Kattie kissed him, "So are you paralized? Thank you. The poem is really sweet. I love it." Jack smiled in accomplishment and went over to the seat. He pulled the seat out for her to sit in it, "My lady." Kattie sat down, "Thank you kind sir." They both laughed at their formal callings. None of them could say it with a straight face. They began to eat. Jack said, "Open your mouth." Kattie looked confused and Jack continued, "Go on. You can trust me." Kattie replied, "I know that. I was just wondering what you're going to do that's all." But Kattie opened her mouth. When she did Jack took a noodle and put one end in her mouth and the other in his mouth, "Alright. There. You can start to eat now." Kattie tried not to laugh but she got a chuckle out. When their lips came together instead of stopping, they bit the peice in half, swallowed it, and kissed. After the kiss Jack went back in his seat, "Well how's that for romantic?" Kattie smiled and said, "It's exactly perfect as long as I'm with you." Jack smiled and they continued to eat.
When they were done eating and the plates were all away Kattie went over to Jack holding her hand out for him to take it. Jack took her hand and stood up, "So where are we going to now?" Kattie smiled and replied, "Dinner was just the beginning. You'll see. Kattie led him to the ball room. It was empty but there was music playing. The same song that they danced to at the ball. Jack asked, "What's this?" Kattie stopped once they were in the middle of the room and put her hands behind her back, "Are you telling me that you don't remember this song? It's the song that was playing when you first asked me to dance." Jack smiled and bowed holding his hand out, "Well, my lady. May I have this dance?" Kattie curtsied and took his hand, "I thought you would never ask." Kattie went into his arms and they started to waltz. They spinned and swirled. Kattie started to get dizzy but the song was almost over and they didn't spin a lot so she didn't understand why. When the music stopped Kattie still held on to Jack so she didn't fall. Jack looked at her, "Are you okay? You look a little pale. I think you need to sit down." Kattie couldn't agree more. But she didn't want to tell him that. Although she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to. Her knees were giving in and she fell to the ground. She just sat there, her face as white as clouds. Jack kneeled down to her, "Kattie what's the metter?" "I don't know. My head keeps on spinning..." Kattie couldn't finish her words, she had fainted. Jack caught her before her head hit the ground. He picked her up and took her up to their room. He placed her on the bed and sent for the doctor. He sat next to her while they waited for the doctor to come. When the doctor came he said it was the same thing that had happend before. Stress. A lot of stress was taking the energy out of her. Jack thanked him and stayed there next to Kattie. He was worried about her.
A hour had passed when Kattie woke up. Jack was sitting by her side staring at her, "You had me worried again." Kattie looked at him, "What happend?" Jack went and sat on the bed beside her holding her hand, "Well, you passed out in the ball room. And the doctor said it was the same as before. Stress and being pregnant just doesn't go together. But we'll take care of that. You are not going to be doing any work. I'll do it for you." Kattie sighed and groaned. Jack said, "There's no arguing. I'm doing it and you are to stay in bed if I have to tie you to the bed." Kattie laughed, "I don't know about staying in bed all the time, but for now, why don't you join me?" Jack smiled, "And what shall I do while giving my company?" Kattie smiled undoing her dress, "I don't know. Improvise.
