Chapter 17

We couldn’t hear what the young couple next to us said to each other, but it was clear that Simon was positively astonished. It was very clear to us that Rose didn’t have to worry that Simon would leave her because of her braces.

We could see them flirt to each other and it was clear what would happen between them that night. It was then that Jess said: “Let’ss finissh ouw wine, I think I need a sshowew too…” When I looked at her to reply, I saw so much lust in her eyes that I just couldn’s say anything. I was really curious what the night might have in store for me.

We left the restaurant just after Rose and Simon and made the quick walk to our hotel. It wasn’t before long that we showering together.
After a long busy night, we were preparing ourselves for breakfast when Jess’s phone chimed. While I was tightening here corset, she took her phone and smiled.

“What’s up?” I asked her,

“Do you wemembew ouw lovebiwdss fwom the westauwant? When we wewe in the toilet, I encouwaged hew to weaw hew headgeaw and I promissed hew it would lead to a night to wemembew and that sshe would expewience the possitive sside of having bwacess. The message that I jusst got said: “You wewe sso wight lasst night… thankss!” I think they got to know each othew much bettew lasst night, don’t you.”

“Do you remember our lovebirds from the restaurant? When we were in the toilet, I encouraged her to wear her headgear and I promised her it would lead to a night to remember and that she would experience the positive side of having braces. The message that I just got said: “You were so right last night… thanks!” I think they got to know each other much better last night, don’t you.”

Thinking that our night has been probably more or less the same as from the lovebirds, made me smile and I quickly finished tightening Jess’s corset. When I clicked the padlock shut, I felt a shiver running down Jess’s spine. I realized that it wasn’t the fact that I more or less had control over Jess that I liked, but the fact that she trusted me when she asked me to be vulnerable or helpless.

We had a lovely last day in Paris and when we travelled back in the train, Jess cuddled upon me. When she did I felt the solid padlocks on her back and in her neck. Jess didn’t seem to bother about them and I wandered if she would keep her headgear locked the coming days, or if she would return to self-control.

In the weeks that followed Jess sometimes locked her headgear, even when we wouldn't see each other for a few days, so she was unable to take off her headgear for a few days. Also her corset became a piece of clothing that she wore more and more. I noticed she enjoyed the moment I laced her in. although it wasn’t always comfortable.

Time passed quickly and the of the year was coming close. Because we were a new couple in both our families, we decided to invite both our families for Christmas to our place.

We were busy with preparations and succeeded to buy a present for all our guests. Of course we also bought a present for each other. When we placed all the presents under the tree the day before Christmas, I showed Jess two presents with her name on. She looked a little bit puzzled but wasn’t that surprised, as we bought each other presents more often.

“I got you a really personalized present and I hope you like it. However it might be a present that is not appropriate to open when all our families are around. If you like, you can open it now.”

“Of couwsse I want to open pwessentss now. What did you buy me? Ssome kinky outfit ow sso?”

Jess carefully opened the rectangular present and when she opened it, there was a blue pouch inside, she said in disbelieve: “Iss thiss what I think it iss? Did you get me a new headgeaw?”

I just nodded, not knowing if I had done good, or very wrong, while Jess opened the pouch. The moment she saw what was inside I knew I hit the right spot, because I saw her eyes lighten and some other bodyparts react.

Within seconds Jess got up and hurried into the bathroom. Within a few moments Jess came back, embraced me and tried to kiss me. We had a somewhat uneasy kiss and when we broke apart Jess said: “Hank ou. Hoow I how hy I ha hoo hopen his hwensent how.” (Thank you, now I know why I had to open this present now). Ih houh he wange ih I ohened thi wi ou fahihy ahoud (It would be strange if I opened this with our family around)."

I felt Jess’s excitement about her new headgear while she embraced me. Carefully I broke our embracement, so I could see how she looked. Her head was showing two facebows about a quarter of an inch apart, making it almost impossible to close her lips around the bows. Both facebows were connected to interlandi headgear straps embracing her head.

At about three o'clock the doorbell rang, where I saw Jess’s sister Kayleigh. I was a little surprised, as we didn’t expect anyone to arrive before about five o’clock. As soon as I opened the door she exclaimed: “Hi Ron, I hope you don’t mind that I’m a little early, but my car broke down, so I had to take public transport and that’s why I’m so early. With the next train I would arrive at about seven, so…. You two need some help in preparations?”

I invited Keyleigh in and she walked into the living, where Jess was laying the table. As soon as Kayleigh saw Jess, she froze and just stammered: “Hi siss, How a…. Wow….what…. what happened with your braces?”

As soon as Jess heard Kayleigh’s voice, she turned around and hugged her.

“Hacess? I hu go thi nuh heagea. I ha oo ge uuss to. I hanne oo hake ih oh hefoh hou ah hou ahhive, huh hou ah so eahhy. I hi hake ih oh noh.”

"Braces? I just got this new headgear. I have to get used to it. I planned to take is off before you arrive, but you are so early. I will take it off now.”

“Oh no, don’t take it of because of me. I really do admire your braveness. It must be very hard to wear this headgear in front of Ron.”

We continued our preparations and in fact it was  nice to have Kayleigh help us. At about 4:30 we changed our clothes and as soon as we were in the privacy of our bedroom, we took the opportunity for a kissing session to explore the possibilities with Jess’s double facebow.

Jess switched to her single facebow, making it much easier to understand her. We had a nice get-together and we experienced that both our families welcomed us as a new couple. Especially my father was very explicit in welcoming my lovely Jess into the family.

Of course we had a cleaning session as soon as every one left but before we even started Jess left to change to a little more comfortable outfit. I already started cleaning and when Jess returned, she embraced me from my back. She started kissing my neck and I noticed she also changed to her double facebow again: “Hoh, I healy hoh thih heagea. Hou goh hee he hest hismah hesent eheh. Ahuahy I houl hav hove ho heah ih ahl dah, buh ih ihhnt hewy hachicah”. (Ron, I really love this headgear. You got me the best Christmas present ever. Actually I would have loved to wear it all day, but it isn’t very practical).

We seemed to be a great team cleaning the house and within no time we were done and left for bed, calling it a day. As usual Jess was already in bed before me and as soon as I crawled up behind her, she took the initiative to give me the night of a lifetime. I guess I hit the jackpot giving Jess an over the top headgear.

Chapter 18

We had a nice and easy going Christmas period and we did some daytrips. One of the first daytrips Jess decided to wear her double headgear, but she came very quick to the conclusion that wearing a double headgear outside wasn’t very practical. Not only did she get a lot of staring and also various remarks, but talking was hard and eating and drinking out of the question.

However the less Jess wore her new double headgear outside, the more she wore it inside the house. It made our (love-)life interesting.

Soon after the Christmas Holidays, we left for a skiing trip in the French alps. It was a yearly event of Jess’s friends and I was asked to come along as well.

We travelled by car and Susan joined us in our car. Susan was Jess’s friend for a long time and just like Jess, she had been single for a long time. She was just dating a guy, but it was too early to have him joining the skiing trip. Susan was a smart and good looking girl. She was called “the brains of the group”, mainly because she worked as an attorney for a large firm and had won many lawsuits, because of her out-of-the-box thinking to convince a judge.

Susan had settled in the backseat of the car and took the responsibility of the food and beverages during the trip, now and then handing snacks and keeping us hydrated.
When Susan passed through some candy, Jess refused, telling Susan she couldn’t eat those because of her braces. It turned conversation towards the topic of braces. Susan became a little direct and asked Jess why she had braces anyway, because her smile looked great anyway. Jess replied her that she had some minor issues, and that the braces were mainly to prevent problems as her wisdom teeth are coming in.
 
Susan seemed to accept that answer, but I saw she was thinking, when she said: “Okay, I understand. But why are you so eager wearing headgear full time? Headgear is used on adults not that often and if adults need headgear, wearing times are mostly shortened to nighttime wear, so why are you wearing yours full time? That doesn’t match with your minor issues.”

Jess was a little taken back by the directness of Susan’s questions, but then answered: “Ssussan, I know you sso long now, that it iss a mattew of time befowe you’ll find out anyway. You’we ssmawt enough and now you’ve stsawted thinking about my bwacess, I know you won’t let go befowe you know the whole twuth. Although I’m not asshamed of my sstowy, I expect you to keep it pwivate.
It iss twue that I have some minow issssuess that can be cowwected by bwacess, but it doessn’t need the usse of a headgeaw. The weal weasson fow my excessssive bwacess is jusst that I wanted them. I like the feeling of them and I like the challengess I have to face becausse of weawing them.”

“Susan, I know you so long now, that it is a matter of time before you’ll find out anyway. You’re smart enough and now you’ve started thinking about my braces, I know you won’t let go before you know the whole truth. Although I’m not ashamed of my story, I expect you to keep it private.
It is true that I have some minor issues that can be corrected by braces, but it doesn’t need the use of a headgear. The real reason for my excessive braces is just that I wanted them. I like the feeling of them and I like the challenges I have to face because of wearing them.”


“Okay,” said Susan: “Of course I would keep your story private and I understand.” Then she continued jokingly: “I never knew I had a friend with a braces fetish.”

Then she turned the conversation towards me: “Ron, what do you think of Jess’s braces? Are they a turn on for you?”

Again I was a little surprised by the directness of her question, but decided to be honest: “Well, yes and no. I really love Jess and I think her braces give her something special, something magical. When she doesn’t wear her headgear, you sometimes see some silver glimmer in her mouth. Just enough to make you want to know what’s going on. Furthermore I have a lot of respect for Jess when she wears her headgear. It makes me proud and to my opinion, the braces and especially the headgear look good on Jess. It looks so natural. But to call it a fetish… not really. It isn’t that I love Jess because of her braces. I won’t ask her to ask braces for me, but I can assure you that I think Jess is very attractive with her braces and that it is very interesting when we are intimate.
Why do you ask?”

“Well,” Susan said: “You know I am dating Dave and during one of our dates the topic went to braces. It was triggered by a waitress sporting braces. To be honest, they suited her, like Jess’s braces suit her as well.  I saw Dave being distracted because of the braces and it was clear and almost embarrassing that he stared more at her braces than at her full chest, like men normally do. When the waitress had gone, I realized he was a little distracted and asked if the waitress’s braces caused his distraction. He got red as a tomato by my directness but he admitted it was indeed the braces. Then he asked if I had had braces when I was younger and when I said that I had, he asked if I had pictures of me wearing braces. Glad for him I had some pictures on my phone and when I showed him, I saw him brighten and saw lust in his eyes. Then it was my turn to be overwhelmed by his directness, because he asked me if I would wear braces again as he could see there has been some relapse and because he would love to see me in braces. He confessed that he liked girls in braces. Up to his confession I never realized people could be attracted to braces, as I saw them just as a functional device, like glasses or so. But then I also realized that if something exists, there will be people to have a fetish about it.

After this we never continued the braces topic, but his question about wearing braces again to pleasure him, never left my mind completely and when you started about your braces a few minutes ago, the idea of having braces again came back instantly.”

“Ssuss, thankss fow thesse pewssonal thoughtss. I and I expect Won ass well, will keep them fow ouwsselvess and if it iss up to me, I would love to ssee you in bwacess” and then with a wink: “but only if they give you a big lissp. May be we could be headgeaw buddiess!!”

“Sus, thanks for these personal thoughts. I and I expect Ron as well, will keep them for ourselves and if it is up to me, I would love to see you in braces” and then with a wink: “but only if they give you a big lisp. May be we could be headgear buddies!!”

I guess Susan was glad that at that moment her phone ringed and she quickly answered to inform another car that we would take the next stop for a brake. After the brake, the braces topic didn’t come back, but I was sure there might be some braces for Susan in the future.

Chapter 19

Without any trouble we arrived in a cozy French village, where we had rented a big house for the whole group. Since Jess had never brought a boyfriend on the skiing trips, she always had been convicted to sleeping in the living room. Now I accompanied her, she got the luxury of a bedroom, where we had some privacy.

As a member of the group of friends, Chris was joining as well. He was still frustrated about the fact that Jess was involved in a relationship with me and he abominated the fact that Jess was wearing braces, something he still blamed me for. It was clear that Chris and I wouldn’t become best friends, but we didn’t bother each other.

The first day of skiing was great, blue skies and great snow conditions. After the lifts closed, we got a few beers in a pub before we left for our house. Jess took advantage of the luxury of a private bedroom including a bathroom with a bath and left for a relaxing session.

I was joining a few others with some card games, when I heard Jess calling Susan to come to our room. I didn’t think anything of it, until Susan came back, walked to me and whispered in my ear: “Your explanation in the car about braces, seems to have a little different meaning with the Christmas present you gave Jess.” I understood Jess told Susan about the double headgear I had given her. As far as I knew Jess had left it at home for our own entertainment.

We continued our card game and I had my back to the door of our room, so I couldn’t see when Jess entered the room again. Before I even noticed Jess entering the room Chris exploded. I looked around to see why Chris went nuts, when I saw Jess wearing her double headgear. No one had seen it yet, so a lot of us were surprised. Most of our friends were full of sympathy that Jess had to wear such massive braces and supported her, but Chris was clearly not amused about Jess’s braces. Again he blamed me for the braces that Jess wore and in fact, he was right this time. It took soke time for Chris to calm down, but the atmosphere only cleared fully when Chris left for bed.

More and more friends left for bed, even Jess, leaving just Susan and myself. Susan has the privilege to sleep in the living room this year, as she was one of the singles. When I got ready to go to bed, she asked me to have a last drink.

I felt Susan wanted to discuss something, so I quickly agreed, grabbing two beers and plumped on a couch, while handing Susan one of the beers.
“Are you sure you’re not into braces? I mean, you didn’t give her a regular Christmas present, did you?”

I smiled and said: “I knew Jess is always looking for challenges and I knew she just enjoy wearing braces including her headgear. I guess you have seen that as well. I found out, but didn’t tell Jess yet, that her orthodontist is an old schoolfriend of me, so it was quite easy to get the headgear.
I didn’t know she took it with her this trip, so when she showed up wearing it tonight, I was as surprised as anyone else.

I expect she called you to show the headgear in private?”

“Yes indeed, she wanted me to tell me about the double headgear in private and in continuation of our conversation in the car I asked her to put it in, so I could really see how it looked. In fact she hesitated to show it even to me, you know, showing such a humiliating device to your friends is quite hard.
When she put it in, I immediately recognized what you said earlier. She looked so natural wearing the double headgear. Of course it looked strange, but it just suits her.

She said she needed a moment when I returned to the living, so I expected her to take of the double headgear. Little did I know she needed a moment to compose herself to show herself wearing this headgear in front of her friends.”

In fact I wasn’t really surprised with Susans explanation and a could have expected it from Jess. Also remembering the conversation in the car, I started to think that wearing braces might be a little more than only a challenge for Jess. Not that I was disappointed about it, anyway.

Now the topic was into braces anyway, I asked Susan: “I don’t know you as well as Jess does, but I think you have been thinking about braces since we had our conversations back in the car. I bet now you have seen Jess’s headgear, you are questioning yourself what it would be like to have such braces yourself and what Daves reaction would. Am I correct?”

She laughed out loud and threw a cushion towards me: “You are damn right. Now go to bed and give Jess some attention. I need you to leave the room anyway, because I need some sleep for a new day of skiing tomorrow”.

I understood the message and rose from the couch. I wished Susan sweet dreams about braces and slipped into our room, where I found Jess fast asleep wearing her double headgear. Unfortunately she didn’t notice me climbing into bed.

Chapter 20

The next day was again a beautiful day with sunny skies and a little bit of fresh snow that had fallen during the night. The whole group was enjoying themselves, although Chris still seemed to be in a bad mood because of Jess showing her double headgear last night and more and more I got the feeling that I was the bad guy in this matter.

Chris wasn’t the best skier, but by far the most uncouth one. He started bullying the whole group, but me the most, both verbally and physically. Spraying snow over us, when we were waiting or cutting us off when we were sliding down the slopes.

While others told Chris to stop his childish behavior, I kept quiet. I didn’t want to upset him any more than he already was.

During lunch he took a couple of beers and started making remarks that I was a looser and that Jess was his girl and more of that shit. He even made a comment that he expect me to be disappointed that Jess wasn’t wearing MY steel structure on her head while skiing. Of course it was out of the question to ski wearing headgear. When we resumed skiing after lunch a few members of the group told him that it would be better not to join the group, because he was annoying and that his bad mood clearly didn’t get any better because of his alcohol intoxication. Unfortunately Chris didn’t take those requests very well, but headed off, calling me names, because I should have set them up against him.

After Chirs left, we had a few nice runs in perfect conditions. We had stopped at the side of the slope to discuss to have a drink in the bar a few hundred meters below us, when we heard some yelling. The moment I looked up I saw a dark spot closing in fast and before I knew what was happening, I felt a huge impact. The impact was so huge I got launched and flew through the air hitting something with my head before I rolled in the snow until stopped when my legs smacked into a giant boulder. Then everything went black and quiet.

After some time I heard people screaming and yelling and I noticed people coming towards me, telling me not to move. Not before long paramedics came around, taking care of me and when I saw a helicopter landing on the slope, I knew I was in a serious condition, as I knew the French only came to a crash-site with a helicopter when it was really serious.

The paramedics wrapped me in a vacuum matrass and carefully brought me to the helicopter. Just before I was loaded in, I saw Jess. She cried and I saw paramedics taking care of her head.

I was flown to the hospital, but to be honest, I was out most of the time. When I woke up I heard some muffled voices telling me not to move and I felt a hand on my lower arm. I blinked my eyes a few times and vision became clear. I looked around and saw Jess and a nurse next to my bed. I thought Jess looked strange, like she was wearing a mask or so.

I tried to figure out in what state my body was. It felt like my body was held rigid and I felt something pulling on my left leg. I could wiggle my toes and move my  right leg, but I didn’t feel my left foot.

Thankfully I could move both my arms and all my fingers.

I noticed Jess tried to say something, but I couldn’t make anything of the grunts she made. The mask seemed to muffle her voice. Then the nurse said: “Welcome back Ron, you have been in a serious skiing accident and you have been flown over to the hospital in Grenoble. You might have noticed that some parts of your body have been immobilized. You have fractures in two of your vertebraes. They are clean fractures that won’t need any surgery. We will immobilize your spine and we expect that in two to three months your back will be fine again.

Your left leg however is in a much worse condition. The bones in your lower left leg have been shattered in the accident and ligaments and nerves have been ripped. We expect you have no feeling in your left foot right now, do you?”

I saw the nurse touch my left foot, but I didn’t feel anything of it. I saw my left leg was in traction, which I felt on my upper leg, but I didn’t feel anything of that in my lower leg.

“For now we have you fixed on a gypsum board, so your spine is immobilized. In a few days, when the swelling has gone down, we will get you a corset. I don’t know what the plans are for your leg. The doctors will come tomorrow and discuss the possibilities, I guess.

Please take some rest now and try to get some sleep. You will need all your energy for your recovery”.

I whispered a thank you to the nurse and try to ask what was going on with Jess, but I couldn’t get any words out of my mouth, so I just pointed to Jess.
“Ah,” said the nurse: “You are curious about your girlfriend? Well, I expect you know she was in the same accident. She is bruised by the impact all over her body, so nothing to worry about. However she got a major impact on the bottom half of her face. We expect your helmet has hit her. The impact was so big that her bottom jaw is more or less shattered and her upper jaw has more or less broken of the rest of her skull and shifted sideways. Personally I never have seen such injuries in my career. The doctors made a mask to immobilize her jaws. They will have to work out a plan how to reconstruct her jaws.”

Chapter 21

The next morning both Jess was next to my bed when I woke up. It was annoying that I wasn’t able to give her a proper morning kiss, as my back was immobilized, my leg was in traction and Jess’s mouth was covered by a mask, but we did the best we could. It was hard to communicate and I was a little frustrated that I didn’t know what had happened. We were both happy to see Susan’s head popping around the door. 

Susan came in and after the initial shock she regained herself and started explaining what had happened.

After Chris left the group after lunch, he was agitated, which left him not wanting to ski anymore. He had gone to a bar and had a few more beers. When he left the bar to go home, he had seen our group waiting at the side of the slope and decided to give us, or mainly me, a snowshower. It was an understatement that his plan had gone wrong. Chris had missed his timing and crashed fully into me. The impact was so big that I got launched and crashed with my helmed into Jess’s face, before crashing into the big rocking that caused my back and leg  to break. Within minutes the paramedics and police were on seen and after they found out what happened, Chris was taken into custody.

With her background Susan had gone to the police station to find out what next steps could be expected. She learned that there would be a lawsuit and that Chris would see a judge within 48 hours to decide if he had to stay in prison, or that he was allowed to get out of jail, but stay in France, or that he could go home. Chris would be accused of multiple serious assault. Susan had also found out that Chris could face up to 5 years of prison.
After about an hour Susan left, but not after she left my Ipad that she had taken from our apartment. It made it easier to communicate with Jess and it gave me a chance to do some research about my injuries.
The next day Susan came to the hospital again, but mainly to pickup Jess to go to the courthouse for the first hearing of Chris.
When they returned Susan had a mischievous smile on her face. Looking to Jess’s eyes, she to, but of course no one could see her mouth because of the mask

Susan explained that the Judge was a rather old guy, very friendly towards Jess and Susan. When Chris was brought to him, his attitude changed and he showed no mercy towards Chris. It almost seemed to be a principal matter and when he found out that alcohol was involved and Chris was used to drink a lot, he was very strict and explained that he probably would ordeal to keep Chris into custody up to his trial. He explained that society was no place for guys like Chris.

Then Susan had stood up and asked the judge to explain her backgrounds and to discuss an alternative conviction as Chris was still one of their friends, although he had misbehaved badly. Sending Chris to prison would ruin his future.

Susan and the judge had a chat where Susan explained she wanted to send Chris to a rehabilitation clinic for his alcohol abuse. When he returned, Chris should get some help to change his lifestyle and attitude. To get rid of the rude and overweighted Chris, that antagonized many others, to a healthy and empathic person, realizing that he should be aware of the people among him to get a better future. Of course Chris had to participate in the group actively. He wasn’t supposed to drop out of the group and his social life. If he did, he would have to take his prison time yet.

The judge was positively amazed by this extraordinary proposal and he really appreciated the fact that a group of friends didn’t let someone down, because of a major misheap. It also showed that the out-of-the-box thinking of Susan could lead to more suitable convictions.

The judge explained the proposal to Chris and added a probation of seven years and that if Chris didn’t cooperate and therefor broke his probation, he would get seven years of prison instead of five.

Chris quickly agreed to the proposal that saved him from five years of prison.

After the settlement Chris was taken back immediately and would be flown to a rehabilitation clinic in South Africa to treat his alcohol abuse that has caused the whole situation.

Just when Susan finished her explanation, some doctors entered the room.

Chapter 22

After the usual pleasantries and check ups one of the doctors explained that they had discussed Jess’s and my injuries and although they had a conceptual treatment plan, they believed it was better to aim for an early repatriation and start the treatment back home.

The doctors already had contacted the hospital in our residence and with the help of Susan arrangements with our insurance companies have been made. Despite the fact that Jess could travel quite easily by herself with her injured face firmly packed in the mask, they had arranged that Jess and I would be transported home together by an ambulance flight.

To prepare for the flight they would put my body and leg in one big cast, to prevent any movement. As a body cast isn’t that comfortable, they would put me in the cast the next morning with the flight in the afternoon.
Although the nurses and doctors were very friendly and I had nothing to complain about, it was a nice perspective to be back in my home country soon.

The flight the next day went very smoothly and shortly after we had arrived our new doctors came by to discuss our treatment plans.

The plan was to fit me a plastic corset to heal the fractured vertebraes. It would support my back, while it left me some mobility. They expect I would need the corset for about three months full time, whereafter weartime would be shortened. The estimation was that I would be out of the corset completely after six months.

For my left leg they suggested to have surgery to repair some internal damage and to fit an external frame to reposition the leg and to keep it in traction. After a few months there would be more surgeries. Because of nerve and ligament damage they were very cautious about how my leg would heal. In their honesty, they expected a sloppy foot and a long and painstaking treatment and rehab of at least a few years with surgeries, external frames, casts, braces and probably more that would cause me not to be able to walk in a proper way.

Of course I had done my thinking and my research and my reaction surprised not only the doctors, but also Jess.
“Doc, the treatment you just proposed will be long and painstaking and there is no expectation on full recovery. With all respect, but with the treatment you propose, I still will always be crippled and the expectation is that I won’t be able to walk without crutches. I don’t want this to dominate my life. I recently met the girl of my dreams and I want to continue living. I want to propose to amputate the left leg below the knee. I know prostetics are quite good these days and the rehab period will be shorter than with your plans. Probably I will walk better with a prostetic leg than with my own crippled leg.”

The doctors couldn’t deny that I had done my homework and they agreed my statements. The reason why they didn’t propose an amputation was because they feared and had experienced in earlier cases that patients wanted to try to save their leg as long as possible. The treatment I proposed would give me more functionality in a shorter rehab time, but it was irreversible.

I didn’t have to think about it any longer and told them to proceed and to plan the surgery asap.

Then they switched over to Jess and told her that her case was new. They couldn’t find any cases in the world with such massive trauma to both jaws. It was evident that both jaws had to be relocated and rebuild to regain functionality of a mouth. Without any action her jaws would fuse together and she would lose the possibility to eat and to talk properly.

However a surgery to rebuild her face and jaws wasn’t possible. Because of the damage to the jaws and because of the shifting of her jaws, they would need so many plates and screws that it wouldn’t fit in her face. The left over bones in her face were too small and too thin for a proper fixation of screws and plates.

It also wasn’t possible to keep the mask that she was wearing now. It would give too little support to the more internal located bones.
One of the doctors had come with the plan to compare the rebuild of her jaws to a surgery that is done when patients are facing Crouzons disease. An RED frame would be bolted into the skull and a splint will be fixed in her mouth and to the frame. Over time the position of her jaws could be moved by turning screws. The only difference was a sideways movement instead of a forward movement.

Her lower jaw had so many fractures that they need an external frame to connect pins drilled into her lower jaw. This additional frame would be bolted to the external frame with hinges next to her jaw joints. This frame would then be the base to reconstruct and reposition her lower jaw, while she could open and close her mouth because of the hinges.

I saw the freightened look in Jess’s eyes, but she (and I) realized there was no alternative. Just like I did, Jess didn’t have to think long and asked the doctors to proceed and to plan the surgery as well.

Chapter 23

Thankfully the doctors could fit in our surgeries the next day. They even had two teams available, so we were wheeled to the operation rooms together. I didn’t recall anything from the surgery (thankfully) and the recovery room.

It was already dark outside when I got a little aware of my surroundings. When I looked around I saw I was back in the hospital room. I could move my arms and hands and also my right leg responded to my brain. My left leg was stiff, but I was able to lift it from the bed. I saw my left leg was in a black fiber cast and the leg was ending about six inches below my knee.

When I looked to my left I saw Jess, who looked still asleep. The first thing I saw was a huge pink horseshoe shaped ring circling around her head. About two inches in front of her nose a metal colored bar was running down. In front of her nose and in front of her mouth were two crossbars holding metal pins going into her nostrils and going into her mouth.

Another horse shoe shaped frame was surrounding her lower jaw. As the doctors told us before, they connected it to the pink ring using some hinges that looked like they normally use on knee braces, only smaller.

I think Jess also just woke up as I heard some grunting and I saw her hands moving towards her face feeling around the new hardware.

“Hello lovebirds,” was the next I heard. It was then that I realized that Susan was in the room and saw us waking up.

“Nice to have you back on this world finally. I’m happy that you two can start working on your recovery together now. Both your surgeries went as planned and without major issues. However Jess, your upper jaw was so unstable that they had to use two additional pins. Those are the ones you are feeling now. They are connected from your cheek bones to the RED frame via your nostrils.

Now get some sleep, and before you know it the both of you are up and running again.”

When I looked left again, I saw Jess looking towards me. All the metal around Jess’s head looked monstrous and it showed Jess’s vulnerability. On the other hand it already looked like a part of Jess and by the look in her eyes, I knew Jess didn’t have any problems with it. It looked like she already fell in love with her new hardware.

I couldn’t help it, but I whispered: “I know you like headgear, but didn’t you overdo it this time?”

Chapter 24

The following weeks went by quickly. We were released from the hospital about a week after our surgeries and decided to stay at my place. We were lucky with our group of friends, who helped us a lot, although Jess was mobile and went back to work after about two weeks. She doesn’t seem to bother the RED frame. Of course she had to adjust. She couldn’t eat solid foods and she seemed to squint and of course… kissing was out of the question. The advantage of the frame was that her tongue crib had been taken out, so her speech was much better than before. Of course the big splint she had in her mouth gave her a lisp, but now only with the s-ses.

My recovery went also smoothly. My leg was healing nicely and with the daily rehab and physio, the swelling went down quickly. The corset hindered me more than the loss of my leg and especially crutching was clumsy, but I didn’t want to complain about it in front of Jess.

During these weeks Jess seemed to get quieter and more into her own world, but I couldn’t get to the reason. After about two weeks she was upset and it was clear that something bothered her. When I came in the room, she stood in front of the window, just looking at nothing. I crutched behind her, let my crutches fall on the floor and just embraced her tightly. Without saying anything I kissed her neck. When Jess slowly turned around, I saw tears in her eyes. When I opened my mouth to say something Jess simply put her indexfinger on my lips to silence me.

“I am tho thorry about this thituation,” Jess started. Not knowing what to expect I just looked at her and dried her tears.

“Look at you now,” she continued: “The thporty, thexy thweet guy that I fell in love with is now crippled and thtumbling around. Gone ith the bright future and all, becauthe of me. I am rethponthible for what hath happened to you.”

I never had expected these kind of words and had no idea where she got this idea, so I simply said: “You’re not responsible, Chris is. What makes you think that you are responsible?”

“Well, I agreed that Chrith joined the thkiing trip, knowing that he didn’t rethpect you. And becauthe of that dethithion, your life hath changed forever. I’m tho thorry. I can’t think of a way to compenthate you for your lothth and I have trouble looking you into the eyeth knowing that I am responthible for the lothth of your leg and that horrible corthet you have to wear.”

I was overwhelmed by what I heard. It definitely wasn’t how I experienced what happened and although my life had changed, my love for Jess certainly didn’t.

I embraced Jess even harder and I felt her RED frame dig into my chest, while Jess’s tears wet my shirt.
Then I whispered in her ear: “Jess, you’re not responsible. There is only person responsible and that is Chris. I don’t care if you agreed to joining him on the ski-trip. That’s not your fault. I know his behavior changed not only my life, but also your or our lives. And I promis you, we’ll manage. I’m sure the worst has gone and it will only get better from now on”.

Jess freed herself and looked me into the eyes: “Are you theriouth? You aren’t mad at me?”

“Of course not.”

“I wath tho afraid you were mad at me and would leave me,” Jess whispered.

“How could I leave the most wonderful and remarkable person I have ever met?”I said with a smile and gave her a kiss.”It might sound weird, but this whole situation put us into a real big challenge and I’m sure we’ll find ways to manage. I know you long enough to know that you actually enjoy your RED frame in a way, because of the challenges it brings you and to be honest. Moving on one leg in a corset is hard, but I think I understand more and more the excitement of these kind of challenges.

If you freshen up and get into something more comfortable, I’ll try to get some food on the table”.

I let her go and stumbled around to pick up my crutches, while Jess left for the bathroom. It wasn’t before long that I heard the shower. About fifteen minutes later, I heard some strange squeaking noises and when I looked up, I saw Jess entering the dark living room where I had lit some candles, leaving me speechless.

The squeaking noise came from my i-walk, that she had strapped to her own leg. The soft light of the candles reflected in the RED frame, causing it to look very mysterious. Jess wore the same black dress that she had worn on the first night when she cooked dinner for me.
I got up and embraced her again. When I did I felt Jess was wearing a corset again. Feeling around the laces and hearing Jess breath very shallow, I knew she had tightened it very tight.

“Thankth for your nithe wordth,” Jess said: “when you thaid that you are thort of exthited walking around on one leg wearing a corthet, I thought I had to try mythelf. I mutht admit it feelth weird and I know exactly what feeling you mean.”

That night was a relief. It lead to a nice shower for the first time since the accident and we gladly discovered that we were still able to exercise. May be it had even intensified, finding more sensitive spots.

Chapter 25

After about three months, during Jess and I didn't have an exiting social life, Susan took us by surprise to a pub. I was still wearing my corset and was on crutches. Jess had just started the repositioning of her jaws as the first weeks after the installation of the RED frame were for basic healing. They expected a traction period of about 6 months and then even more months in the frame the stabilization and full healing of her jaws. When the RED frame finally would come off, she definitely would need braces to align teeth and to keep her jaws in the correct position.

We had a nice time in the bar with all our friends around and even the bartender still recognized us. We had a booth where I could sit comfortably, and could overlook a large part of the bar.

After the first drinks the group loosened and enjoyed themselves. I saw Susan busy organizing something. Then she came over to Jess and myself looking serious: “Guys, I don’t want to raid you and probably I had to tell you earlier, but Chris got back from rehab today. As we have sent him away as a friend of the group, I felt obliged to welcome him back as a group as well. We have promised not to leave him alone. I understand if you prefer to leave before Chris will join us but I would be proud if you choose to stay."

Jess and I looked to each other, before I said: “Of course we’ll stay. I know he made a mistake and I hope he will improve himself.”

It wasn’t before long that Chris entered the bar. In fact he looked quite good. Of course he was still immensely overweighted, but his eyes seemed brighter. He seemed to struggle how to behave in the group. When he opened his mouth to greet some one, I though to notice something glimmer in his mouth, but it was too far away and too dark to see properly.

After Chris had greeted a few, he came to the table where Susan, Dave, Jess and I were seated. We all rose to greet him. When he saw Jess, anyone could see the shock on his face. When he came over to greet me, he accidentally shook my hand so wild, that I nearly lost my balance. It was then when he noticed I was on only one leg. Full of excuses he tried to grab me to regain my balance, when he felt the corset under my shirt.

Now his face turned really pale and we quickly seated him.

Susan whispered that no one told Chris what injuries we were facing, only that they were severe. That explained a lot of his reaction.
When Chris was seated he started talking and mumbled some words, that we couldn’t understand. When he repeated himself, I got a good look of his mouth and saw that he scored braces.

Susan explained what Chris tried to say. A part of Chris’ conviction was a to improve himself. As Chris was diagnosed with a poor bite and severe crowding, they had contacted Jess’s orthodontist to fix his smile but to make sure he would be aware of his braces at all time. It was a little difficult to create a set of braces that would be fully noticeable and a constant reminder for Chris, while not being over the top as Chris was account manager and had to do a lot of talking during the day. The design of his treatment made sure he would have to wear his braces for at least a year, but not longer than his seven years of probation and no longer than Jess would have her active treatment.

When Chris had arrived this this morning, Susan had taken him to an appointment to get braces right away. They had installed big brackets with black ligatures. His canines stood out and because of the big brackets it was hard to close his lips over them. Next they had installed a very noticeable herbst that made a squeaking sound when he moved his jaws.

When Chris talked he had a slight but very noticeable lisp. He explained that he had some bits on his upper front teeth to prevent his lower brackets to be bitten off, causing discomfort. I already saw red spots on his tongue.

Chris was clearly uncomfortable by our injuries he had caused and their impact. After a few minutes he excused himself, lisping that he needed some time to think about what he just learnt about our injuries.

After Chris left, Susan excused herself for not notifying us earlier. She had learnt just the day before that Chris would come home.

After this awkward moment we had a great evening. In fact we were happy that Susan had taken us to the bar. We just needed that little push to go out and meeting Chris again was inevitable. Susan told us she wanted to confront Chris on purpose with our injuries while we were in the middle of our recovery, so he could see and realise what impact he had caused.
