The Way Things Are Supposed To Be!

chapter seventeen

Jacks p.o.v
The next morning came entirely too early for Jacks liking and the reason he was awake now, sitting in a hard chair beside a sleeping little boy and an a very worried looking Jackie, drinking an awful tasting coffee.

Was because some stupid young woman with black wavy hair came into the room with a breakfast tray, plopped it on the table and had to say "good morning" to him as he was rolling over on his right side trying to get more comfortable on the pathetic excuse they have for a hospital bed.

"Ya ya, it was such a good morning so far" he had exclaimed as the girl walked back out the door. He had than rolled his eyes and swung his legs off the bed into the floor stretching out his back, that was aching like hell!

He slowly stood up and turned around, he smiled at the sight of a still sleeping Jackie and Patrick.

What he wouldn't do to lay back down and cuddle back into Jackie but his back protested against that idea, so he had rolled his eyes and headed down the hall to the drink machine, grabbing a small red cup and pressing the green button for the coffee, after getting some he walked back down the hall to Patricks room opening the door and made his way to the chair in front of the window, plopping down he turned his attention back to Jackie.

"My God, she looked so sexy right now" he mumbled to himself.

As he said this Patrick started stirring til he finally sat up on the bed and started reaching for jack.

Jack stood up and gently sat down onto the bed beside of Patrick pulling him into his arms and patting his back.

"I luv you, daddy" Patrick said

Jack smiled down at him and said "I love you too buddy"

"Where is mummy" Patrick asked as he yawned

" she's right behind you, but she's still asleep, how bout we let her sleep a little bit longer"? Jack asked.

"Ok daddy" Patrick said with a smile

"Did you sleep good last night"? Jack asked.

"I guess so" Patrick exclaimed

"Well that's good, does your tummy hurts" ?Jack asked

"Yes daddy it hurts really bad now" Patrick cried.

"I am sorry buddy, how bout we call the nurses to see if you could have some pain meds to make it feel better"? Jack asked.

"Ok daddy" Patrick said

Jack grabbed the nurses call button hooked onto the pillow case beside of Patricks head, as he pressed the red button to call.

Patrick said " Daddy I gotta go pee".

"Ok buddy,let's get you into the bathroom". Jack said with a smile, patrick sat up on the bed and slowly swung his legs off the bed reaching his arms up to jack.

Jack silently groaned but than reached down and picked up Patrick, his back protesting even more.

They slowly made it to the bathroom, Jack helped pull Patricks pants down and his underware, leaving him in the bathroom by himself to do what he needed to do, Jack closed the door and leaned against it.

"Oh Jack your back it hurting really badly, isnt it"? Jackie asked as she stretched her body out on the bed.

"Yes it does" Jack said " but my son wants me, so I will be here for him".

"I know you will be, your such a great father" Jackie said standing up from the bed, she than picked up the red cup of coffee off the table beside of her, taking a sip, she than frowned.

"Nasty, isn't it"? Jack asked with a smile

"Very" Jackie said putting the cup back on the table

"Daddy, I am done, open the door pweese" Patrick said banging on the door behind Jack

"Ok buddy let's get you back into bed and you have some food if your hungery" Jack said as he opened the bathroom door, picking Patrick up and placing him back in the bed.

"No I ain't hungery" Patrick proclaimed

There was than a knock on the door and a young man with rainbow colored hair poked his head into the room " you needed something" he asked.

"No," Jackie began to say

"Oh yes, his stomach is hurting and we were wondering if he could have some pain meds" Jack asked The boy.

"Oh ok, yes he can have some, let me go get it" the boy said turning around and closing the door.

"Awe is my little man's tummy, hurting again"? Jackie asked Patrick

Patrick nodded his head "yes"

" I am sorry baby" she said as she placed a kiss on his head

Another knock sounded at the door and in walked the boy with the dye tie hair, with a small white cup in his hand, he handed Patrick the pain pills and the white cup that had water in it, "here you go" he said.

" thank you" Jackie said

The boy smiled at her and walked back out the door.

Jackie sat back onto the edge of the bed, " Come here" she said to Jack

Jack walked over to jackie, as she started moving to the middle of the bed, she told Jack to sit in front of her.

He did with his back in front of jackie, she started massaging Jacks back

"Hum" Jack started moaning

"Feel any better" she asked him

"A little bit" he said relaxing even more as her hands rubbed his lower back.

All of a sudden the door flew open and in walked Mia

" what the hell is going on in here"? Mia asked

Jackie's hands stilled on Jacks back, she wasn't exactly sure what to say or do, Jack quickly stood up, knocking Jackie forward

"My back is killing me" Jack said to Mia

" I see" Mia said while she hugged Jack

"Witch" Mia mouthed to Jackie

Than Mia let go of jack and said " if your back is hurting I can massage it for you"

'Ya, it's better now" Jack said

"I think I am going for a walk" Jack said quickly walking out the door.

"Your such a witch" Mia said to Jackie

"Oh please I am not the witch, you are and now can you kindly leave" Jackie said to Mia as she stood up from the bed.

"Oh please jackie, he don't want you, he never did and he never will, so your just embrassing yourself if you honestly think he would want you back" Mia spat.

Jackie closed her eyes and held back the hot tears that were burning the back of her eyes.

"Just get out" Jackie yelled, she than grabbed Mia by the hair and lead her out of the room.
