Jake's POV



Jack is just... lifeless.

His face is tear stained, he hasn't stopped crying actually. He hasn't stopped shaking either.

At sudden moments, he'll sit up frantically and scream at Lucky.

Like he does now.

"WHY THE FUCK WONT YOU TELL ME?!???! TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, (Y/N)!!!!! PLEASE!!!!! IM SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR PROTECTOR!!!! TELL ME!!!!" He's a mess. His tears become harder, and so do Lucky's.

Jack lays down again, hitting his head against the floor a little.

"Jake?" Lucky's voice is hoarse and thick.

"Yes?"

"Where's Lacey and Hunter?"

"They're at the beach. They took you with them." I smile a little, and make a mental note to call Ki and Mark.

"Can I call them?" Forget the mental note.

"Of course you can." I dig my phone out of my pocket and hand it to Lucky.

She taps the screen and holds the phone to her ear. Three seconds later, Ki's voice rings.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Ki!"

"Oh my god, Lucky!!!! Mark and I are coming to the hospital with them kids after we bathe them!! I promise!!! See you in an hour!!! I love you!!!" I hear everyone say they love Lucky and Lucky says it back.

She hands me my phone and lays back. She stares at the ceiling. She's quiet for a few minutes, and then she asks me another question.

"What would you do if you were sick?"

I lean back and sigh, "I would see a doctor."

"But, what if you had something that wasn't curable?" Tears stream down her face, but she doesn't move to wipe them.

"I would be around the people I love as long as I can." I'm crying. I'm crying hard.

"What is wrong with you?" I ask, trying to keep my voice steady.

"I have leukemia..."

My heart stops.

"Leukemia?..."

Jack slowly starts to awake, his anger bubbling.

"TELL-"

"I HAVE LEUKEMIA, SEAN!!! IM SICK!!! I HAVE BLOOD CANCER!!!"

Just as Lucky had screamed, Ki, Mark and the kids walk in.

Jack is staring blankly.

Ki is crying.

Mark is holding Ki.

But the kids smile at their mom.

Lucky wipes her tears and beckons them forwards.

I help them on to the bed and lay next to her.

"Please, please don't ditch me like Donnie did. Please. That's all I ask of you. I'll be whatever you need me to be! Just please don't ditch me!" I'm crying. I'm a fucking mess.

My black hair is sticking to Lucky like a magnet.

She rubs her fingers through it and leans down to my ear, "I wouldn't ditch anyone in this room for a million bucks. Donnie didn't ditch you, Flower. He was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. He loves you. I love you."

"I love you!" Lacey and Hunter scream at me.

I smile and lean my head against Lucky's side, why she got sick instead of me.

I would take the sickness from her in a heartbeat.

"I love you, Lu."

"I love you too, Flower. Now sleep please."

I let out a deep and long breath, listening to Lucky.

She starts to sing, and everyone settles.

"Sleep on me, feel the rhythm in my chest, just breathe."

Everyone's breathing evens to slow and steady.

"I will stay, so the lantern in your heart won't fade. The secrets you tell me, I'll take to my grave. There's bones in my closet, but you hang stuff anyways."

Lacey lazily climbs next to her mom and kisses her forehead.

"And if you have nightmares, we'll dance on the bed!" Lucky laughs softly, and coughs. But Lacey laughs too.

"I know that you love me, love me-"

Jack sits up, "Even when I lose my head." He stands and kisses his wife, sitting in the chair.

Ki and Mark take the love seat in the corner.

"Goodnight lovelies. I love you so much."

"I love you" echoed through the room.

"I love you" I cry and Lucky pats my back.

"I love you too, J."
