John picked it back up off the hook, and dropped it at the Captain's feet. "With all due respect," he spoke calmly, "My pregnant wife has enough on her hands, and I am your superior. You will treat me and my house as such."
Simcoe blinked a few times. Bewildered. He spoke, finally, just a deadpan yes, sir.
Jane's head was lowered, and her gaze was the same.
"Jane, my love," John spoke fonder towards her, "Bed?"
She looked up and over at him. "Of course, John," she said softly.
He scooped up her hand and led her along. The captain huffed with agitation behind them.
Jane smiled and let herself be lead by John. As long as he was here, she was safe.
"I'll get him out of here in due time." John reassured her, "At least before I have to leave. That wont be for some time, though,"
"Thank you, my dear husband," she sighed.
"Absolutely." He closed the bedroom door behind them, and let out a long sigh. "I missed this," his voice dropped to a spfter volume, "Being with you."
They stopped jusr on the fridge of the enemy camp. The General was taking one last survey.
Pierre took the opportunity to shift closer to Edonine, murmuring a few words of comfort.
"I did too," she said quietly, looking up at him with love and admiration.

She didn't say anything back to her fiancé. But he knew she heard his words and let them in. The General peered back over to his flock of armed men. Speaking in amost silent words and mostly gestures, he split the mass of men into thirds: one to follow the general, and the other two to flank the British camp.
"I did too," she said quietly, looking up at him with love and admiration.
He brushed his hands up her arms, "Beautiful,"
"I did too," she said quietly, looking up at him with love and admiration.
He brushed his hands up her arms, "Beautiful,"
She shivered slightly and brought her hands up to cup his face. "Brave."
He looked down, "If you say so,"
Pierre was sorted into the first group. Electricity courses through his veins, an after effect of the nervous energy he was harbouring.
Edonine was seperated feom him, sent to flank the other side.
He looked down, "If you say so,"
"Brave, strong, handsome," she cooed. "Shall I go on?"

"Brave, strong, handsome," she cooed. "Shall I go on?"
"You mustn't," he purred, "You'll intoxicate yourself with me."
"I'm afraid that I already have," she murmured softly.
"Really?" He pulled her down to rest on top of him, like they were doing before Simcoe showed up.
"Yes," she said, breathing in his scent. "I've fallen terrible in love with you."
"Mm.. how unfortunate." He craned his neck to kiss her
She smiled and moved into a better position to kiss him.
He propped his hands to support her swollen stomach.
She smiled as she felt Roo kick again.
"Oh!" John gasped, "He moved!"
Jane giggled. "I know."
Skip?
To when? With who?
