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))

"I think so. I've had a look at things over the next few decades and it seems pretty free of her influence."

She laid back, and looked relieved, for just a moment. "That means your family is safe, doesn't it?"

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

Robert smiled. "Yes, including you."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"You have another family."

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

"Yes, but you're still my family."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

She smiled just a little.

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

"And I'm sorry I was away for so long," he added quietly. "Time gets away from you, when you have lots of it."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"Will I see you more?" she asked "Please?"

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Robert said simply, and smiled. "Yes, I would like that. I'll bring your stepmother and brothers and sister around, if you'd like to meet them, as well."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"Yes. I want to meet them." She seemed surprise. "I'd like that, a lot."

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't sure you wanted to, you've got plenty going on with your own life," Robert said. "But now that I know ... sure, that'd be great. They want to meet you, too."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"Can they come to the wedding? Thank you, Daddy."

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

"I can, indeed! I'd love that."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

She gave him a small smile.

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

Robert reached over an patted a non-bruised section of her arm. "Glad things turned out as well as they did."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"Me too." She was glad to have him there.

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

"In a jar," he said again, and laughed. "I'm sure she's overjoyed."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

That made her smile a little. "She looked angry"

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

"Bet she's not feeling much like a goddess, anymore."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"You're right about that."

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

"Good. Give her a few hundred years to think about that, and maybe she'll see the error of her ways."

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"Maybe. I don't know how long he' s going to leave her in there.

[unstuck-in-tyme.livejournal.com]

"Long enough that we get a breather, and that's fine by me," Robert said.

[a-mind-flip.livejournal.com]

"I need it." She was quiet "It'll be good not getting chased every day."
