'Money'

Chapter 63 - taking care of the next generation

The ambulance arrives at the hospital and Money gets out and watch the nurses take Cash to a room.
- You must wait here, sir, while they take care of your son, a nurse says before Cash is taken away.
- Do all you can for my son, I promised to call his mother to let her know how our son is doing, i'll be right outside, Money says.
- Dad, no, daddy, don't go, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, dad, I will never do drugs again, Cash whimpers like a little boy as he wakes up for a second.
- You'll be alright, buddy, i'll be right outside, Jakey, i'm just gonna call mum and tell her you'll be okey, she's worried about you, Money says, squeezing his son's hand.
- Daddy, don't go, please, don't go, Cash whimpers.
- May I stay in here while I call his mother? Money asks.
- Alright, sir, you may stay here with your son while you call his mother, the nurse says.
- Thank you, Money says and picks up his phone to call Jackie. Hey, baby, it's me, Jake will be alright, our boy will be alright, I came to his place in the nick of time, he had taken an overdose, pills.
- We gotta put him through rehab, Money, Jackie says.
- Yeah, we do, we gotta do all we can to save our boy, Money says. We'll move him back in with us, until we can get him in to a center.
- Sounds good to me, so we can keep an eye on our son, Jackie says. And make sure he doesn't do anything stupid.
- He better not, cause I might get very...fatherly with him if he does, and we don't want that, do we, baby, Money says.
- No, we definitly don't want that, Jackie says.
- I swear to god, Jacks, if he ever does something like this again, I might end up in prison again, for killing my own child, Money says.
- Lets hope he doesn't pull something like this again, then, cause I wanna keep both my Jacob's, Jackie says.
- And I wanna keep you and all our children, it's just that...that he really scared me, that's all, I love you all, you know that, baby, Money says.
- Yeah, I know that, I say.

Cash gesticulates to his father that he wants the phone, Money understands and hands it to him.
- Jacob wants to talk to you, Money says and hands Cash the phone.
- Hi mum, Cash says in a weak voice.
- Hi honey, how are you feeling? Jackie asks.
- I'm okey, I made a deal with dad to go to rehab, Cash says.
- That's good, Jackie says. We do want to keep our Money junior around til you're a grown man, older than in your 20's.
- He said you would take care of my son, since Lexi is planning to put him up for foster care, Cash says.
- Don't worry, my son, dad and I will talk to Lexi and make her give Corey up to us, and once you're clean, we'll fight for you together all three of us, you, me and dad, so you can have custody of him, full if she doesn't want him, and if you want full custody of him, or shared with us, Jackie says.
- Thank you, mum, Cash says.
- The moon for my son's happiness, Jackie says.
