Chapter 18
Together
Janice stood frozen in place.
"They're really coming why?" She asked.
"I don't know Kermit texted me saying he and the guys will have their phone off while they're on the plane here." Piggy replied.
"Who's all coming?" Janice asked.
"Kermit Floyd Dr. Teeth Gonzo and Maxwell." Piggy said naming them off her fingers.
"Awesome I'll go see if Morgan's awake." Janice walked in the room. Morgan was sitting up. The gash on her forehead had been stitched shut. And bruises covered her bare arms.
"how do you feel?" Janice asked.
"Like crap what's going on?" She asked.
"Floyd Teeth Kermit Gonzo and Max are on their way here."
Janice said excitedly.
"No way!" Morgan shrieked hugging Janice.
"Whoa calm down they won't be here for a..."
"We're here!" Someone yelled from the living room.
"Hurry I'll get dressed and be out soon," Morgan said. Janice was already out the door her long hair flying behind her.
Floyd caught her in a hug. "Why are you here?" she asked.
"Same reason as last time. For you." He replied making her eyes sting with unshed tears.
"I'm so happy to see you." She said.
He pulled her close and kissed her.
She put her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He wrapped his arms around her waist.
Her fingers tangled in his hair.
"I missed you." She told him.
Floyd hugged her again.
"Kermie I thought you weren't..."
"Coming until after the show?" He said. Before she could speak her was kissing her.
She relaxed and kissed him back.
"Oh Kermie I felt so bad but I'm so happy you're here." Piggy said.
"So am I." Kermit said.
Morgan walked out of the room. She was wearing white shorts and a purple shirt.
"You're really here," Morgan said.
"Here am I" He said pulling her into a hug.
"I know everyone is saying they missed each other so let's be different. It's great that you're here." Morgan said.
"How are you feeling?" Teeth asked.
"Like crap but I'll survive." Morgan said.
Dr. Teeth hugged her again.
"We're going to the beach." Kermit said taking Piggy's hand.
"We'll come." Floyd said following them through the door Morgan took Teeth's hand and they left too. The sand on the beach was hot and soft between Janice's toes.
"Ooh like I'm so excited honey," Janice said walking through the water.
"I couldn't let you leave for three weeks without me." He said.
She laughed and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her.
Janice laughed and leaned back too far she tripped and they both fell in the water.
He helped her up laughing but she dragged him back down.
She swam towards him. He laughed and kissed her again.
Janice pulled back and kissed his cheek. "I remembered something last night." She said happily.
"What was it baby?" He asked.
"I was thinking about that time in Canada. We had that gig and the hotel room was freezing." Janice said.
Floyd sighed and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Why?" He said.
"Floyd don't be mad." Janice said.
"How can I not be?" He said. His hand brushed her back where the faint scars still remained.
"Hey look at me," Janice said tilting his head up to face her.
"Floyd it was years ago it was just a thought. Never mind forget I brought it up." Janice said.
Floyd brought her closer "I'm sorry Jan. I overreacted I really do love you. I shouldn't be mad." He said.
Janice laughed. Then she was gone under the water Floyd laughed and dived under after her.
That night Morgan and Dr. Teeth started a huge bonfire. The fire sparkled in its reflection in the water. Kermit got some marshmallows graham crackers and chocolate bars. Piggy and Janice found some sticks and brought them over.
"There's my main squeeze." Floyd said putting an arm around Janice's waist. She laughed and handed him a stick.
"Thanks dear," Kermit said taking a stick from Piggy.
She sat on his lap and put her marshmallow over the fire.
"Crap its on fire." Morgan said shaking her flaming marshmallow on her stick.
"Blow it out." Teeth said. Morgan blew it out. She sighed and leaned back against Teeth.
"Brawk bwak begawk." Camilla clucked
"Are you sure you don't want it." Gonzo said taking Camilla's marshmallow Camilla nodded.
"Thanks darling." Gonzo said eating it off the stick.
"The fire is like so warm and relaxing I could fall asleep." Janice said leaning her head against Floyd's shoulder.
"We could always go back to the hotel." Floyd said.
Janice nodded and stood up.
"I think we should all head up it's late and I'm exhausted." Trudy said.
Morgan got up and dumped water on the fire.
"There lets go to bed." Morgan said.
They got up to the room and stopped.
"There's only three rooms." Floyd said.
"Well Kermie and I'll take my room and you guys can sort it out because I'm falling asleep." Miss Piggy said.
"Wait Piggy we're going to sort this out. Okay so everyone can share a room. So we'll need at least on other two bedroom room." Kermit said.
"We'll go with Morgan and Teeth." Janice said taking Floyd's arm.
Ya Floyd and I'll go get a room you ladies stay here." Dr. Teeth said leading Floyd out of the room. Everyone else disappeared.
"Well I'm gonna crash over here on the couch while we wait for the guys." Morgan laid on the couch. Janice dropped on the couch by the window.
She must've dozed off because when Janice woke up Floyd and Teeth were standing in the doorway.
She got up and walked over. Slipping her arms around Floyd's waist.
"Hey babe did we wake you up?" He asked turning in her arms.
"I don't think so." Janice replied.
"C'mon we got a room." Floyd said lifting her into his arms.
She rested her head on his chest.
"You'd better get Morgan." Floyd said.
"I will." Teeth replied walking over to the couch.
Floyd carried Janice down the hall he came to a stop at a door and unlocked it. Janice shifted in his arms. "I'll walk." Janice said. Floyd set her down.
He took her hand and led her through another door.
Janice stumbled over to they bed and laid down. Floyd walked back in the living room. She heard voices so she guessed Teeth and Morgan had come in. He returned a minute later and laid down.
Janice curled up beside him. She was happy to have him beside her again. She was almost asleep when something jolted her awake.
"Floyd!" She said almost pushing him out of the bed. He gripped the edge and turned over.
"What?" He asked looking at her with worry written clearly on his face.
"It kicked the baby kicked." She said.
Floyd sat up and looked at her. "Really?" He asked.
Instead of answering she took his hand and put it on her stomach.
He was silent for a minute. "Jan nothing's happening." He said.
"Wait." Janice said
She moved his hand around.
"There," She said feeling the kick again.
"Did you feel it?" Janice asked.
"Ya I think." He said.
Janice released his hand. He kept it where it was for a minute before dropping it.
Floyd kissed her. She kissed him back and held him close. He released her and looked into her eyes. "You're so beautiful." He told her.
"Floyd why did you really come here?" Janice asked.
"Kermit talked us in to it. But I did want to see you." He said.
"I'm happy you came. I couldn't have a good time without you." Janice said.
Floyd smiled at her. She laud her head on his chest. Soon she was asleep.
Over the next few days everyone walked around shopped much to the guys dislike and swam. Before anyone knew it it was the last night of the vacation. They celebrated with another huge bonfire.
"Wow it's over already." Morgan said.
"I'm kind of thankful and I bet Scooter is too he's been in charge the whole time." Kermit said.
Floyd held Janice while she slept soundly in his arms. Both her and Piggy were exhausted lately.
They were both due in a couple of weeks.
By morning the were all packed and ready to go.
"Only a week left." Janice said.
Floyd out an arm around her and steered her inside the airport.
"Alright guys it has been an awesome vacation but it must end sometime and that is today so shall we go?" Kermit said.
"Let's get out of here." Floyd said.
Kermit nodded.
Together they all boarded the plane.
