their amrs. Jack loved her and
she loved him. They were the best couple you would find in England. Kattie asked, "I'm going to go wash up. I'll be down
when I'm done and we can just hang out." Jack smiled as he watched her leave.
Chapter 8: July 10th
Jack was downstairs writting in his office working with some of the towns people. Kattie was in the library reading a book.
She was reading a book about love. She thought that she was just like the character in the story. She was as much in love
with Jack as she was with her lover. Kattie could feel the fire that sparked between them. She knew it was real. And she
knew how she had to leave. She regreted it but she would be better off when she knew that Jack would be safe.
Jack came up from his office two hours later to find Kattie kneeling over the trash can getting sick. He rushed over to her
and pulled her hair back. When Kattie was done he gave her a tissue so she could wipe her mouth. "Are you okay?" Jack
asked feeling her head for a fever. Kattie replied, "I don't know what happend. I was just sitting here reading. I was feeling
fine and then I just started getting sick." Jack helped her up, "It doesn't seem that you're fevered. Here. Let me take you to
bed and I'll go get the doctor." Jack picked her up and took her upstairs to his room. He set her on the bed and covered
her up. He said, "Now just stay here. I'll be back as soon as I get the doctor." He kissed her forehead and left closing the
door behind him.
The doctor and Jack returned to the castle a hour later. They went up to Jack's bedchamber to find Kattie standing at the
window. Jack ran over to her, "I thought I told you to stay in bed." He led her back to the bed. Kattie sat in the bed with her
back against the wall. She replied, "I'm feeling better. Hold on. Wait..." Kattie got up and ran to the trash can. She got sick
again. Jack and the doctor went over to her. The doctor said sarcasticly, "Yup. It really looks like you're feeling better. Jack
why don't you wait outside. I'll call you in if I come up with something." Jack nodded and kissed Kattie on the forehead and
left. When Kattie finished the doctor put her back in bed. He examined her and asked, "Kattie when was the last time you
had your period?" Kattie looked shocked, "Well....To come to think of it. I haven't had it this month. And I always have mine
in the beginning of the month." The doctor smiled, "Kattie. You're pregnant. And you getting sick is the morning sickness.
Congratulations." Kattie was still in shock. She put her hand on her stomach and burst into tears, "This can't be happending.
I can't be pregnant. I just can't be." The doctor's smile went away, "Kattie. Who's the father? Is it Jack." Kattie looked up at
him, "Yes. But you can't tell him. Just tell him that I have a touch of the flu. When I'm ready. I will tell him. Please Doc. I can't
tell him. Not now." The doctor sighed, "Are you sure? Why is this such a problem? I have to ask." Kattie wipped away her
tears, "I'm sure. I can't tell you why. But trust me. It has nothing to do with Jack. He's a great guy really. Thanks doctor." The
doctor nodded and left. Jack came from the end of the hall, "So what is it doc?" The doctor replied, "She's just got a
stomach virus, it's basically the flu. If she stays in bed for a couple of days. No physical activities such as riding, walking
long distances, running, sex, etc." Jack said, "Excuse me doctor. Did you just say sex?" The doctor nodded, "Well she's a
woman, you're a guy. I believe I saw you kiss her in there before I had you leave. Just do what I said." The doctor left down
the stairs and Jack went into the room. Kattie was laying down curled up in a ball holding her stomach. Jack went over and
knelt down next to he holding her hand, "Are you okay?" Kattie nodded. Jack continued, "Well I'm going to go get some
soup for you." Kattie replied, "I'm not hungry. Thank you." Jack squeezed her hand but not hurting her, "I know you're
hurting but you have to get something in your stomach. You have to eat." Kattie just layed there. Jack left shutting the door
behind him. Jack went into the kitchen and had the cook to make some soup. "Mr. McNight." Jack called for the butler. He
answered, "Yes, my lord." Jack walked over to him, "Please notify all staff to be very quiet. Especially when they go
upstairs. Kattie is sick with the flu." Mr. McNight questioned, "Yes, sir. She got the flu? In the summer?" Jack nodded,
"Unfortunately. She's not feeling to well so she needs to get some rest."
In 15 minutes the soup was ready. Jack took it and went upstairs. When he went in the room Kattie was sitting against the
wall on the floor with her knees up to her chest. She had her head buried in her arms that was on her her knees. Jack put
the bowl on the table by the door and ran over to her kneeling next to her. Jack said, "Kattie what are you doing over here?
You have to get back in bed. You're sick." Kattie lifted her head and Jack was frightened 'cause he thought that she was in
too much pain, there were tears running down her face. Kattie replied, "I'm not sick." Jack stood her up and tried to lead her
over to the bed, "Yes you are. You look sick and the doctor said that you were." Kattie stopped and looked up at
him, "No. You don't understand. I'm not sick. I made him promise not to tell you. I wanted to tell you myself. So I had him
tell you that I was sick with the flu. I'm not at all. Far from it. I'm pregnant." The words that came out of her mouth shocked
Jack. He put his hand on her stomach, "You mean this is what you're crying over. I'm going to be a father. You're going to
be a mother. What's so wrong with that? We love each other." Kattie explained, "Yes I do love you. But it's too soon. I
didn't want this. Not with everything that's going on. I wanted to at least wait until after Victor was gone and when I am ready,
married." Although she knew that they would never be together long enough to get married. Jack said, "Things may not
have worked out the way we planned and wanted it to, but we can do this. Right?" Kattie stopped crying and wipped her
tears on her sleeve. She thought of a plan to, hopefully, fool Victor. She would tell him that she was pregnant after they had
made love. Make him think that the baby was his. With that painful thought she looked up at Jack, "I guess." Jack hugged
her, "I guess? What do you mean I guess? Of course we can do this. I love you." Kattie looked up at him, "Can we please
keep this to ourselves? At least for a while?" Jack didn't understand why but he said, "If that's what you want." Kattie said
"Thank you." Jack went over to the table where the bowl was, "Well you definitely have to get something..." He heard
something fall to the ground behind him. He turned around, "Kattie!" He ran over to Kattie and checked her pulse it was
still beating but she was unconscience. He ran over to the bell pull and pulled it several times until Mr. McNight came.
Mr. McNight said, "What is it, my lord?" Jack raised his voice, "Go get the doctor and tell him that Kattie's unconscience.
Hurry." Mr. McNight ran to get the doctor. Jack picked Kattie up and put her on the bed. He sat on the bed next to her and
held her hand worrying.
About ten minutes later The doctor came running in. "Your lucky I didn't get to far. I was at the Wilson's caring for a sore
back when Mr. McNight came and told me." the doctor said as he was examining her. Jack asked, "Do you know what's
wrong with her doctor? I know she's pregnant, but what caused her to faint like that?" The doctor examined her some more
and said, "She's going to be fine. Nothing too serious. Get a me a bowl of cold water and a towl." Jack ran and got it. In the
next few minutes Jack came back with what he was told to get. "So doc what's wrong with her." Jack asked. The doctor
took the bowl and put it on the table next to the bed. He dipped the rag into the water and put it on Kattie's head, "She's
very stressed out. Too much for a woman who is pregnant. She needs to keep her stress level down and she needs rest.
Do you have any idea what is giving her stress?" Jack sighed, "It's her ex-boyfriend. He got aggressive and abusive so she
broke up with him. That didn't settle to good with him so he killed everyone in her family. So she moved here to try to get
away from him but he found her. He hired two guys to jump me and kidnap her. Those were the guys who 'tried to rob us'.
She blames herself for her family getting killed and me getting jumped." The doctor was shocked by the story, "That'll put
anyone in depression and in stress. The poor thing." Jack nodded, "Oh, don't tell her that I told you that. I don't want her to
get mad at me." The doctor agreed. A few quiet moments later Kattie's eyes snapped open. She was breathing heavy at
first until she realized where she was. Jack quickly went over to her side, "You're awake. Thank goodness. You had me
scared to death. How are you feeling?" Kattie looked at him, "Can I get a glass of water? My head hurts." Jack already had
it ready for her. He poured the glass up with water from the pitcher and put it to Kattie's mouth letting her drink it. The doctor
was standing at the foot of the bed, "My lady. You gave both of us a scare..." Kattie interrupted, "My baby? Is it okay?" The
doctor nodded, "Yes. Your under alot of stress that you need to get rid of. And you need to get some rest. So Jack and I
will leave you so you can get some sleep." Jack kissed her forehead and headed for the door with the doctor following him.
"Thanks doctor. I'll make sure she stays in bed, and I'll try to relieve as much stress from her as I can." He walked the
doctor out to his carrige. And watched the carrige left. When he went back inside he saw Kattie coming down the stairs,
"Kattie. What are you doing out of bed?" He ran up to her. Kattie answered, "I couldn't sleep." Kattie's knees started to give
in. Jack caught her and picked her up taking her up to her room, "Well you're not well so you are going to get
