"And now we'll go to Adam Jones who is live from outside the White House."

"Jacqueline?"

Jackie quickly shut off the TV and looked up with eyes full. "Bobby..."

"Hey...hey." He sat down next to her on the bed and hugged her close.

"Did...you see him?" She murmured trying to hold back her sobs.

He nodded. "Yeah. I spent the last twenty minutes with him."

"Oh Bobby...it was all so...Bobby I can't be without him."

"I know. He'll get better. I know he will. We just have to pray and..."

Jackie cut him off. "Don't you tell me I have to pray! Don't you dare!"

Bobby blinked. "Jackie...we do."

"If I spoke to God right now it wouldn't be very nice for him. Why is he punishing me?!? First Patrick and now Jack! Hell...let's throw the miscarriage and Arabella into it!"

"Jackie stop."

"No! No YOU stop! Because you get to go home and have your wife and your kids and your happy little life! And I have to stay here and watch my husband...watch my husband fight." She sunk back onto the bed.

"Listen Kid...it's been a long night. Get some sleep and..."

"Do NOT call me kid."

Bobby sighed. "Alright, Jackie..."

"Get out."

"What?"

"You heard me. I want to be alone. Good night, Bobby."
