Taylor looked at the time and saw that it was only 12 O'Clock

"Jack" she said while trying to get his attention, "get changed baby we're going to the doctor's in half an hour and can you please try to talk to the Doctor?"

She said while checking Anthony's butt to see if he needed changed,

Jack looked at the living room door and saw MurDer and Alex standing there watching him,

He slowly stood up and walked towards them both before turning his head to look at his mother and then glancing down at the floor still upset from the night before,

"It's okay Jack" Alex said placing his left hand on Jack's right shoulder blade, "You are going to help" he said reassuringly "And I promise you that we will get our revenge"

"I want to kill D.H" MurDer said as he looked at Alex dead in the eye's,

"But is that what Jack want's?" Alex asked in a concerned manner while looking at Jack,

"Jack baby? It's twenty past twelve love, we've got ten minutes to get to the doctor's" Taylor said worried as jack just stood there for twenty minutes staring at what she assumed to be nothing,

"Get dressed now please son" she said in a dominant tone as she got eye level with Jack,

"Listen baby" she said

"It's going to be okay, they're just wanting to ask you a few questions" she told him as she pulled out her white Samsung out of her pocket to check the time,

It was 12:25,

While rushing she grabbed Anthony's car seat and Anthony,

"Girl's it's time to go!" Taylor shouted as Jack grabbed his shoes and ran to the light blue car,

It was 12:30 and finally they had reached the doctor's surgery And they all went to the reception desk,

"Jack Sheppard, 11/01/2000, half twelve and we live at 23 southhampton place" she informed the receptionist before she had the chance to speak or ask Taylor the appointment detail's,

"The doctor will call ypu through momentarily Mrs Sheppard" the receptionist informed Taylor as she pointed them through to the waiting area,

It was a small room that was as Barron as the sarahra desert, it was filled with plastic chair's; magazine's and toy's for the child patience's,

"Mum?" Jessica said "why is it that me and Annabell have to be here?" She asked while complaining "I hate the doctor's" she followed up with,

"Because sweetheart I can not leave your both home alone at the moment you're to young love" Taylor responded while handing Jessica her mobile phone causing Jessica to shut up completely,

"But mum..." Jessica responded as she got distracted by the phone as she started to play Tetris taking her away from being in this situation,

"Master Jack Sheppard?" Doctor Maccy called out, he was a six foot bold man with a deep voice,

The family of five stood up,

Jack shaking with nerves which grew worse with ever step taken to the room,

"How may I help today" he asked Taylor before observing the nervous five year old boy,

"He won't talk, he barely sleeps and he crouches on the floor holding his head for hour's on end, and I don't know what's wrong let alone what to do about it" she told the doctor holding back tear's,

"Well he's way to young for me to administrator and prescribe any form of medication, but I can put in some referrals for you as we would have to figure out the issue's and then take it from there but sadly..." Doctor Maccy said with a sigh,

"There's absolutely no guarantee that it will work or help.." He said as he looked at the boy with concern as Jack played with his Lego men,

Not a moment sooner when a Jet flew over the surgery triggering Jack who then proceeded to grab his head and covering his small ear's,

"Boe fore" Jack repeated while rocking back and fourth before reclusing into his black spider-man T-shirt,

"Does he alway's do that?" Doctor Maccy asked Taylor with even more concern for the poor boy,

"Yes he does, and just last night I walked into his room to see him repeatedly smacking his head off of his bunk bed, I really don't know what I am meant to do" she informed the doctor while both of the girl's looked at Jack scared,

"Mummy, is Jack going to be okay?" Annabell asked

"I hope so baby" Taylor responded hesitantly while looking at Doctor Maccy who was watching Jack and typing on his computer about the incident,

"Mrs Sheppard" Doctor Maccy spoke, "now that I have seen it first hand I will push them referrals through to the child and adolescent psychiatry service's happily, I shall also inform you when I hear back and they will also post a letter out to your address" he said while looking at Jack with nothing but concern in both his eye's and his voice,

"Is there anything that I can do to help for the mean time?" He asked her in a caring manner,

"Yes, maybe speech therapy aswell so we can teach him how to talk right" Taylor said to the Doctor,

"I will push that through aswell for you, thank you for seeing me today Mrs Sheppard, I will definitely be in touch" he said as he opened up the room's solid wooden door,

"Thank you Doctor Maccy" Taylor said politely as all five left the Doctor's room,

They headed to the surgery door and Doctor Maccy ran through, he was holding a few sheet's of paper,

"Mrs Sheppard" he called out

"Can you fill in these test sheets for me and we shall organise an appointment for little Jack in two week's time?" He asked as he handed her the test paper's,

"Yes I will Doctor Maccy" Taylor responded taking the test sheet's

"I will call you in two week's with an appointment date and time" he said as he opened up the surgery door's for Taylor and her kid's,

Taylor and the kids walked to the light blue Nissan and she unlocked the door's,

"Right kid's in you's get " she said as she strapped Anthony into his car seat,

Finally she got in and done up her belt putting the car key into the ignition and starting the engine up, she looked at Jack who was still sat with his arms and head in his shirt before reversing out of the parking space
