When Fiction Meets Reality - Pt. 23
Day Six.
Monday morning was a tough one for Jack. Kiefer had woken up four times and had required attention and pep-talk before sleep could claim him again and Jack was absolutely knackered, his muscles sore from the uncomfortable position he had spent the night in, despite the fact he had been in what they called 'a comfy chair' and was supposed to be comfortable.
It wasn't comfortable enough to sleep in.
Then again, that wasn't what those chair were made for.
He woke up to the soft voice of the morning nurse bringing in Kiefer's breakfast.
He shifted out of her way and got up, stretching extensively in the hope to soothe his muscles somewhat, but he knew nothing short of a decent massage or a steaming hot shower would help him un-stiffen them now. When the nurse had left, he moved the lazy chair back to the corner of the room and sat on the window sill, looking out to the waking city around them. Traffic was already starting to get dense and he thanked his lucky star for not being in that chaos. A soft moan got his attention and he turned to find Kiefer waking up. He let the curtain drop back, shutting out the light again and moved over to the bed.
"Good morning." he said jokingly.
"Yeah." Kiefer replied in a soft growl.
"How are you feeling?"
"Like shit."
"Dizzy? Nauseous? In pain?"
"No, embarrassed about pestering you like that last night."
"Don't worry." Jack chuckled, "You didn't pester me."
"I was acting like a baby." Kiefer growled again.
"I'm your chaperone anyway," Jack joked, trying to lift the man's spirits a little, "don't worry about it."
"I'm sorry nonetheless."
"Apology accepted even though there's no need for one."
"So aside from feeling like an idiot for pestering me, how do you feel?"
"I've got a headache and my eyes hurt."
"There's hardly any light in here at all and it still hurts your eyes?"
"I guess it could be because I'm tired."
"I'm not playing the guessing game on this one." Jack replied, leaning over and pressing the alarm button.
Kiefer didn't object.
Moments later, a nurse came in and Jack asked her to call a doctor.
A tall woman walked into the room minutes later and Jack first thought it was a nurse, but Kiefer acknowledged her, addressing her by name.
"Morning doctor Regis."
"Good morning Mr. Sutherland."
"What seems to be the problem today?" she asked, taking Jack's place at the side of the bed.
Her hand went straight for Kiefer's wrist, feeling his pulse even though the heart monitor was still bleeping away. She moved up to feel his forehead and reached into a pocket and pulled out a thermometer, slipping it between Kiefer's lips.
"Keep that there for a minute."
Kiefer nodded slowly and closed his eyes waiting for the soft bleep to warn them.
Doctor Regis plucked the thermometer away the moment it beeped and she checked it, noting a slightly elevated temperature on his chart.
"So?"
"Headache and sore eyes." Kiefer replied softly.
"Prior to that?"
"A dozen stitches at the back of my head."
"Due to?"
"Some idiot mistaking my head for a baseball."
"Really?"
"Yes doctor." Jack interjected.
"Someone attacked him on Friday and he got hit with a telescopic nightstick."
"Ouch."
"And you didn't have any of the symptoms before yesterday night?"
"No, aside from a headache."
"What did you do over the weekend?"
"I spent most of Saturday with Sarah."
"Indoors?"
"No."
"Sunglasses?"
"Most of the time."
"You should know better."
"I know."
"But it's too late for that now, right?"
"Right."
"Is the light hurting your eyes?"
"I don't know."
"Where is the pain? Inside or out?"
Kiefer closed his eyes for a moment.
"Inside."
"I'll put you up for another cat-scan."
"Have you eaten?"
"No."
"Don't."
"I don't think I could anyway."
"Good, I want to know what's wrong with you before I let you eat anything."
"You would be an excellent interrogator." Kiefer joked, "Food deprivation is a good trick to get people to talk."
"Yeah, and a few knocks across your head might get me something too." Regis joked back.
"Let me see about that scan, I'd like to get it done now rather than in a few hours."
She got up and left the room, making arrangements for the extra test.
A nurse came in not much longer and Jack tagged along despite her protest. He refrained from giving her anything more than an evasive "I won't leave him alone." and stayed by his side until they were ready to perform the scan, at which point he joined the technicians in their booth, again ignoring their comments and objections.
He didn't care about it, all he cared about was keeping the man alive and in as good a condition as he possibly could, something he had already failed to do once, he wouldn't fail again.
The scan took quite some time and Jack alternated between looking at Kiefer and at the screens displaying the information. When they got back to his room, Tony was there, waiting for them.
"How is he?" Tony asked while the nurse helped Kiefer back into bed.
"Coming apart at the seams." Jack sighed.
"It's catching up with him."
"How about you?"
"What about me?"
"You look tired as well."
"I didn't get much sleep."
"Why don't you go home and get some rest? I can take it from here."
"No, I'm fine."
"Jack, you're not. Go home, get some rest, I've got it. He's not going anywhere and if he does, I'll call you before he does."
Tony handed him the keys and told him where he had parked the car, not taking no for an answer and almost kicking him out.
Jack headed out and took a deep breath when he exited the building. He felt uncomfortable leaving Tony alone, so he called CTU and requested a team to be sent to the hospital to stand guard outside the room. Tony would probably hate him for it, but he wasn't going to take any chances leaving a rookie like him in charge. He couldn't afford to make a mistake on this. Kiefer's life and his own future were on the line.
He quickly located the big black SUV in the parking lot and steered it out onto the busy streets. He made it home in just over half an hour, a smile playing on his face when he saw Teri's car in the driveway. He hopped out of the car and locked it, then let himself into the house and called out to Teri.
She called back from the upstairs bathroom and he took the stairs two at a time, suddenly in a hurry to see her.
He turned into the master bedroom the moment she walked out of the bathroom, dressed in her nightgown only and he felt his breath catch in his throat.
She stopped and waited, standing perfectly still and totally comfortable under his admiring gaze. It made her feel incredible when he looked at her like that.
Jack slowly closed the distance separating them and his hands came up to cup her face, tilting her head up a little before his lips pressed down on hers. His kiss deepened and his left hand travelled to the back of her neck, holding her close to him. Her hands slipped around his waist and crawled up across his back, giving him goosebumps along the way.
"God I missed you." Jack whispered when their lips parted.
Teri tilted her head forward, leaning her forehead against his, pulling him closer still.
"I missed you too." She whispered back, unable to fight the smile that spread on her face.
"Where's Kim?"
"Angie's father picked her up."
"Good."
"Why is that good?" Teri asked teasingly.
"I don't have to waste any time undressing you." Jack replied softly, lowering his hand to the small of her back and bringing up her gown until he felt the softness of her skin under his fingers.
Her lips found his once more and they kissed softly, tenderly, while their hands roamed around each other's body. Teri pulled his shirt up and out of his pants, running her soft and warm hands on his back, feeling the goosebumps under her touch, loving the effect she had on him. He let her peel the shirt off him and tossed it to the side while she turned her attention to his belt. His hands lifted her gown and he helped her out of it, uncovering her body to his eyes. He struggled out of his boots while her fingers teasingly lowered his zipper and he stood trembling when she pulled his pants down. He actually had to steady himself against the doorframe to keep from losing his balance as he stepped out of his pants and kicked them to the side. He reached for her chin and pulled her back to her feet, his lips meeting hers without hesitation, kissing her deeply, eagerly.
She could feel his desire growing and he felt hers as he closed the distance, pressing his chest against hers and forcing her back into the bathroom. He was in dire need of a shower, but he wasn't going to let her get away from him, not even the time it would take him to shower. She was coming with him and he wouldn't take no for an answer. Their lips remained locked tightly together as he angled around her and reached into the shower stall, turning on the water. When he finally pulled back from her lips, they both gasped for air, but he didn't let that stop him and stooped down slightly to kiss her shoulders and then lower to her breasts, kneeling down and kissing around her belly button while he peeled her thong off, running his warm hands along her legs, giving her goosebumps this time around. He quickly stepped out of his own underwear and grabbed her wrist, pulling her with him into the shower stall and under the perfectly hot water.
With the hot water splashing down on his head and shoulders and Teri's body pressed closely against his, Jack could no longer fight his desire. His lips returned to hers and his hand found its way between her legs, finding her just as eager as he was. His arms wrapped around her and he lifted her off the floor, taking half a step forward and putting her back against the wall for support as he slowly took possession of her hungered body.
He made slow and sensual love to her while she clung to him, holding on for dear life, loving every move he made, hungry for his love, needy for his affection and warmth. Warmth she didn't get enough of. But times like these made up for those moments he wasn't there. It was always so good to find each other again after an absence. He never failed to prove to her how much he really loved her, how much he cared for her.
He showed it in everything he did until something else came up and he got sucked back into his job and forgot all about her.
At least, that was how she perceived it.
Release was near and her lips found his this time, locking into a tight embrace, holding on tightly until the waves of passion had passed after what he gently lowered her to the floor and took a staggering step back. She was breathless as usual and stood trembling and panting, leaning heavily against the shower stall wall and Jack stood grinning at her, contemplating the results of his passion. God he loved her. With every inch of his soul.
He leaned closer for another kiss before he picked up the washcloth and soaped up. She stayed with him and took care of his back, gently stroking the cloth across, smiling at his soft moans.
"You needed this, didn't you?"
"Definitely." Jack sighed, "And I could use one of your miracle back rubs too."
"Ask and thy shalt receive." Teri said quietly, taking the shower head and rinsing the soap off him.
"Hair?"
"Later."
She returned the shower head to its cradle and stepped out of the stall but as she turned to hand him a towel, she noticed he was still under the streaming water, letting it crash down on his shoulders and she saw his hand on the tap, meaning he was adding warm water. It also meant he needed that back rub badly. She towelled dry and went into the bedroom to prepare what she needed. Aside from the lotion, she also picked a wooden accessory with which she could work his muscles a lot better.
Jack joined her almost fifteen minutes later, looking incredibly tired and washed out.
She had no idea what kind of hours he had been working, but she didn't think he was getting much sleep. He crawled onto the bed and she joined him there, taking the bottle of lotion with her. His back and shoulders were red and looked raw and when she put her hands on his back, his skin was hot. Teri knew he had done it on purpose, to relax his muscles so she could massage them more easily and she didn't hesitate, poured some lotion into the palm of her hand and applied it to the other, then put her hands on his back again, moving over him and straddling his hips. The soft touch and the mere thought of her straddling him, made Jack moan in delight and his moans deepened as her fingers worked their magic on his aching and tired muscles. Minutes into the massage, his breathing levelled out and Teri knew he had fallen asleep. She continued to work his shoulders and back, knowing it wouldn't wake him up and also knowing he needed it and would feel much better when he eventually did wake.
When she was done, she carefully moved away, covered him with the blankets and put everything away. She then turned her attention to the clothes that had been strewn across the bedroom and bathroom floor and picked them up, tossing them into the laundry bin. She slipped between the sheets and snuggled close to him, needing to feel him near her and Jack responded to her presence in the bed. He rolled onto his back and pulled her close to him, her head resting on his chest, her arm draped across with her hand resting loosely on his shoulder, her leg across his, resting lightly above the knee.
And even though she had slept all night, the comfort and safety of the moment lulled her back to sleep as well.
Jack woke up naturally, having slept enough and he quickly checked his watch.
It was almost five in the afternoon and he had slept like a rock. He stretched extensively and rolled his head, feeling invigorated by Teri's massage. He was no longer sore and stiff. He got out of bed and went into the bathroom, tended to his business and turned to find Teri standing in the doorway, looking at him.
"Morning gorgeous." Teri said softly, casting an admiring look on him.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Like a log." Jack replied, closing the distance and wrapping his arm around her waist.
"I need to thank you."
"Oh? What for?"
"For a job well done."
"What job?"
"The job of getting me all relaxed again." Jack whispered as his lips locked on hers.
"Do you appreciate that?" Teri asked when they parted.
"Uh-huh."
"How much do you appreciate it?"
"A lot." Jack replied, joining her teasing game, "A whole damn lot."
"Care to show me how much 'a lot' is exactly? I'd like to find out how much you mean by 'a lot'."
She yelped in surprise as he swept her up in his strong arms, picking her up as if she weighed nothing, and he carried her back to the bed, climbing onto the mattress with her still safely braced in his arms, her arms around his neck. He leaned down, lowering her to the bed and quickly got rid of the garments that kept him from reaching her. He stopped short though and pushed up a little.
"Is Kim home?"
Teri nodded and Jack scrambled out of bed, hurried over to the bedroom door and closed it.
He didn't want Kim walking in on them. He hurried back to bed and resumed where he had left off, making sweet and tender love to his wife once more.
They both lay panting, curled up against each other, trying to catch their breath, Jack's arms wrapped around Teri's waist, holding her close, feeling her heart pound within her chest, feeling her chest heave with the effort of drawing breath, his sweat mixing in with hers.
Monday morning was a tough one for Jack. Kiefer had woken up four times and had required attention and pep-talk before sleep could claim him again and Jack was absolutely knackered, his muscles sore from the uncomfortable position he had spent the night in, despite the fact he had been in what they called 'a comfy chair' and was supposed to be comfortable.

Wow.
Really. So different, but great as usual. REALLY.
Through all these years, I've forgotten that Jack once had had happy family life... This part reminded me of this.
But... hmmm... I know I'll have problems with translating it. ;)
Greetings!
Well I can't help you with that translation, so I'm afraid you're on your own for that, but keep it simple, I didn't go into much detail either, it doesn't need much detail, it just has to render the feelings and their urge to be together, they haven't seen eachother in days, so ...
Just keep it basic ;)
Very funny. Easy to say! ;P
Sooner or later I'll manage, since it's not my first translation of "24"-fanfiction. :)
(it's second, actually ;) )
