Bed Rest (Open RP.)

[a_time_slip]

Normally, staying in one spot for too long would make Janie restless. For the past week or so, however, she barely got out of bed. There was a walk twice a day, and a shower. The rest of the time was spent sleeping or chatting with a friend.

The events of that evening still went through her mind, and she was sure no one else had forgotten either. She knew Ian hadn't forgotten. Today she slept fitfully, asking for Ian or Kelly whenever she woke. Those two meant so much to her- she had to make sure they were safe.

The stitches bothered her, and she wanted another dose of pain killers, when she realized someone else was in the room with her. After a moment of confusion she plastered a smile on her face and tried to set aside the thoughts that were still in her head.

"Hi..."

((ooc: A regrouping/visit thread at Janie's and Ian's house. Thread jumping and random drop ins are fine :D))

Well, Saxsice had promised drinks, of the H2O variety (somewhere in there, while talking about...blue clouds and how pretty she was) so there she was, as promised.

"How're you doin'?"

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

She shrugged. "I'm feeling better, but they're saying I have to stay in bed"

Janie noticed the water, and immediately wanted it, but thought asking would be rude.

Fortunately Saxsice is handing it over, post-haste. "Yeah, that's the part that sucks 'bout hospital-y places."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

Janie opened the water and drank it right away, giving Saxsice a small smile when she finished. "Thank you..."

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

Saxsice smiled, taking a seat next to the bed. "Welcome. Don't they keep you hydrated in here? Jeez..."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"Yes. I'm very thirsty." Janie explained "I shouldn't be."

[multixcolored.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Well, s'all right. You're allowed t'be thirsty. Might be the drugs, huh?"

Hammond hadn't returned to New York after the incident. Instead he had chosen to stay and help Ian and Ja'nee. Hammond missed having people to take care and fussed over them. Ian had brushed him off and really just wanted left alone. Hammond recognized he shouldn't bother him. After checking on the three kids he came in to see Ja'nee.

Am I disturbing you?

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

No. You're not. Hello, John. She gave him a small smile.

[jp-hammond.livejournal.com]

How are you feeling? John smiled and came in to the bedside.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

Slightly uncomfortable, but I'm sure it will go away eventually. Thank you, for staying.

[jp-hammond.livejournal.com]

That is no small wound you have but the discomfort should pass. John sat on the edge of her bed and smiled. The children are delighted to be here for longer.

His smile faded to something sad and sympathetic. I remember how Ian was the last time he had a traumatic experience You both could due with someone to take care of you.

Eventually. She smiled at mention of the kids. Before she met Kelly, Lex and Tim, Ja'nee had considered herself bad with kids. Now, she realized she liked them. I'm glad they're here. I like them.

I feel like I should be taking care of Ian. If not for him... I wouldn't be here.

Alec appears with a grandiose entrance. "Ladies and gentleman, may I present the amazing girl in a fluff jar!" He brandishes a jar with a miniature Olivia in it.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

She looked at the jar, and blinked in disbelief.

"...In a jar."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"Yup!" Someone is extremely proud of himself.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"That's really kind of nice." Janie smiled a little "And she's trapped in there forever?"

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"Unless I decide to let her out, she is."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

She stared at the jar for a moment. "Please don't let her out right now. She might still try to kill me"

"Hey, hey, looks like you're doin' all right," Robert said. He'd quietly crept into the room while Janie was napping, and was sitting in the chair beside the bed when she woke up. "How're you feeling? Getting your strength back some?"

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"Daddy? I'm feeling a little better." She paused. "How is Mother?"

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

"She's ... well, let's just say, a hundred and twenty years from now, she'll be just fine. She's in a clinic in Kingston, undergoing regenerative therapy. She'll be good as new. How are you? I haven't seen Dr Malcolm yet, but he's here too, isn't he?" Robert handed Janie a small box of chocolates. The brand was unfamiliar, but they looked pretty upscale.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

She examined the chocolates, but didn't open them. "Thank you."

Janie sighed, and felt guilty yet again. "Did you get hurt?"

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

"No ... I got real lucky. I think they were too busy dodging to spend much time shooting at me," Robert said. "Got a few of them, though."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"I knew all of them" She spoke quietly "Tayo was the one who shot me. I think I killed him. I've never done that before."
