The Next Generation

[Lady Jenn]

"Not much of a wife right now am I?" she asked, looking slightly dejected. "I should be able to look after you, not be stuck like this right now."

[Lawshenk]

" be right back " she leaves to grab a chair

[Lady Jenn]

She sat on the edge of the bed, flexing her bionic arm and trying to test the side her broken rib was on, an audible wince an indication she should be careful still.

[Lawshenk]

Gerri arrived with the chair scoot over then " she smiled

[Lady Jenn]

"You know the irony?" she asked as she eased herself into the chair. "The suit would probably help...but between my rib and my knee I can't get into the thing without being off my head on painkillers."

[Lawshenk]

" my suit? " she was confused and wheeled he toward the forest

[Lady Jenn]

"I mean mine," she replied, laughing. "Isaac pretty much said if I so much as thought about doing it he'd put me in a medically induced coma, I don't know if he was being serious or not," she couldn't help chuckling. "Anyway, where are you taking me?"

[Lawshenk]

" wanted to just come out here and talk a bit " you want kids right? "

[Lady Jenn]

"Once I did," she said, looking away. "But...the attack that scarred me, it..." Tears showed in her eyes. "I should have told you before but...I don't like thinking about it."

[Lawshenk]

" oh i should have asked first " she swore under her breath

[Lady Jenn]

"You have my curiosity," she said, raising an eyebrow. "Asked me before what?"

[Lawshenk]

" I started proceedings to adopt"

[Lady Jenn]

"I said I can't have children myself," she said, smiling. "I didn't say anything about adopting."

[Lawshenk]

" good they are amazing children"

[Lady Jenn]

"Is one of them, by any chance, a cheeky little boy who's entirely mute?" she asked, rising an eyebrow.

[Lawshenk]

" yeah, we have a connection " she smiled " I thought it would be good for his sister to join him too"

[Lady Jenn]

She led. "You know what Isaac told me? He said when they brought me back here Tyler just refused to let go of my hand until Isaac arrived and started healing me. Anna said all he'd tell her was he was scared if he let go I'd float away." She couldn't help laughing, even though the rib pain made her wince immediately.

[Lawshenk]

" well I think they love us both anyway"

[Lady Jenn]

"And Nicole," Katya said, smiling. "You should have seen them last night, Nicole was feeling upset till Anna asked her to read them a bedtime story. For a good hour they sat there listening to her reading to them, and she smiled properly for the first time in a while."

[Lawshenk]

" yeah buy we can't adopt her she her own women" Gerri smiled " so your not mad at me then?'

[Lady Jenn]

"Why would I be mad?" she asked, resting her head on Geri's shoulder. "The amount of pain I'm in right now I could do with something to look forward to."

[Lawshenk]

" it can take monthes "

[Lady Jenn]

"I might be walking normally again by then though," she said. "It'll be easier to spend time with Tyler when I'm not stuck in a wheelchair like this."

[Lawshenk]

" I know that's my thinking I'm not hurrying this up through my friends it's just happening"

[Lady Jenn]

"I actually said to Isaac last night that I'm getting married even if someone has to push me down the aisle," she said, laughing softly as she closed her eyes slightly.
