The Way Things Are Supposed To Be!

chapter 20

Boston Memorial Hospital parking lot

Jacks car came to a screeching stop in front of the hospital.

"Oh my God, Bobby are you sure you have your driver's license because you sure don't know how to drive" Jack yelled as he climbed out the back seat of his car.

"Ya but did you die" Bobby asked climbing out of the drivers door.

"I think I had a heart attack, good thing were at the hospital" Jackie joked as she climbed out of the passenger side door.

Than Jackie added "we need to hurry, I gotta give my baby kisses before he goes down for chemo" and with that being said all three adults started running

--------
Patricks hospital room

"I don't wanna go with you, I want my mummy" could be heard from outside the hospital door.

"Thank God, he's still up here" Jackie said as she threw open the door and ran to Patrick, who was currently hanging onto Ethel for dear life, as soon as he saw his mother thro he threw himself into her arms and started sobbing more.

"No mummy, I don't wanna go have camo" Patrick pleaded with tears streaming down his face.

"I know my darling, but the chemo will help you, it will help you feel better" Jackie said while she rubbed his back.

"No mummy, I feel better now, I don't wanna go have camo, please don't make me" he screamed tightening his little arms around her more.

"Oh baby. I know and if I could I would do this all for you. But I can't" Jackie stared but than suddenly Jack was beside her.

"Daddy, please don't make me go have camo, please" Patrick begged reaching for Jack.

Jack gently got him from Jackie's arms. "I know you don't want too buddy, but I tell you what if you can do this, than when you get upstairs to your room, we will watch "spongebob", have pizza and there will also be a surprise waiting for you" Jack said.

Patrick quit crying and his little eyes lit up" a surprise oh boy, what kind of surprise daddy" he asked.

"Well if I tell you it won't be a surprise now would it" Jack asked him.

"No I guess not, I don't wanna go have camo, but I guess I will, will you be here when I get back daddy, pweese" he begged.

"Of course I will be buddy, now can you be a strong little man and do this for me, please" Jack asked him.

"I guess, so, I love you daddy" Patrick said as he grabbed Jacks checks and kissed his nose.

"Ok good,I love you too and I will get your surprise and it will be waiting here for you when you get back" Jack said.

"Ok, daddy" Patrick said as he reached over for Jackie to get him again. "I love you mummy," he said as he reached his little arms up and hugged her around the neck.

"I love you too baby, so much" she cooed as she hugged him even tighter.

When they let go of each other she than walked past Jack and placed Patrick into the little red wheelchair that was in the middle of the room waiting to take Patrick downstairs.

The blonde headed nurse with the kind smile, "said they should be back up in about an hour" and with that she pushed a shaking Patrick out of the room.

July 27th 2012

Boston Memorial Hospital

Patrick had been born earlier that morning from a scheduled c-section, all had gone great for mother and son, he was perfect, a little bundle of joy thro weighing in at 5lbs. But thankfully he was healthy!

Right now Jack was holding a tiny Patrick in his arms looking out of the hospital room window as Jackie slept.

She looked so peaceful but thank God she was asleep, Jack thought to himself because she was being really annoying especially these last couple of days.

Suddenly Patrick started crying, "its ok little man, daddy's got you" Jacks said patting Patrick on the bum.

"Give him to me so I can feed him" Jackie said from behind him.

"Oh ok I thought you were asleep" Jack said as he walked to the bed and gently handed her Patrick.

" Maybe I was maybe I wasnt" Jackie snapped as she unbuttoned her hospital gown and got Patrick to latch onto her breast.

"Does that hurt" ? Jack asked

"You have asked that for four pregnancies now, and the answer is always the same yes at first it hurts like hell but than it gets better" Jackie said.

"Than why do it if it hurts" ? Jack asked

"Because it's bonding time between me and my child and breast milk it's healthier than formula" Jackie snapped

"Oh..."

There was a knock at the door and a nurse with long red straight hair walked in.

Jack thought he was going to be sick, there is no way in hell that girl from the strip club was a nurse, oh god if Jackie finds out I am dead, act cool now Jack Kennedy!

"Hello mrs. Kennedy, I am your nurse for the day, my name is Amber" the nurse said while she shook Jackie's hand.

"Nice to meet you, Amber" Jackie said.

"Do you need anything" amber asked.

"No I think we're good right now" Jackie said.

"Ok well if you need anything just let us know" amber said.

"Oh wow it is you. I thought it was you" amber said as she noticed Jack sitting in the chair in the corner of the room.

"Why didn't you call me or at least text me, I thought we had fun that night and we could of done it again" amber said as she leaned down hugging him and kissing him on the cheek.

Jack was speechless maybe Jackie hadn't heard her, but he knew she had by the look on Jackie's face.

"Had fun on which night jack"? Jackie asked angrily

"Oh this past weekend, we met at this strip club downtown and we'll of course when I first laid my eyes on him I knew I had to have him, ya know"? Amber said with a laugh.

"Ok well if you all need anything just let me know" amber said as she walked out the door.

"John f. Kennedy, what the hell you were at a fucking strip club and you slept with her, how could you do this to me to us, you did all this when I was with the kids at Glenn Ora this past weeknd." Jackie screamed as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"No, please let me explain" Jack pleaded

"No I heard all that I wanna here, get out now" Jackie screeched

"No I ain't leaving til I tell you what happened " Jack said

"No I want you out now" Jackie screeched again

"Fine, I will leave but just remember that it was your fault it all happened if i had just been able to go to Carpi" Jack screamed as he walked out the door.

The door slammed shut behind him and he leaned against it, knowing that his life as he had known it was officially over!
