Chapter 10

GW Hospital

Jack continued sobbing in Jackie's lap until his head began to get sore. He then felt a hand on his hair. He looked up and saw Jackie sitting up, smiling. He looked up in disbelief. "Jackie?" He was so shocked his mouth sat open in shock and surprise. She laughed. "Jack". Jack immediately hugged her tightly and kissed her. 

He held her in his arms. "My God, you're alive!" he cried tears of joy. Jackie grinned. "I'm fine Jack honestly! Tell the kids that I'll be ok". 

"When did you wake up?" Jack asked. 

"A few minutes ago. I heard sobbing and I woke up. All I remember was the car suddenly sliding on the road and crashing into the wall at the tunnell" Jackie got goose bumps even thinking of it. "Who was driving?" Jack asked. Jackie froze. She was scared to tell Jack as she knew how he'd react. She paused. 

"I'm scared to tell you Jack. You'll be so angry" Jackie sat back in her pillows. "Jackie please tell me" Jack pleaded. She knew he would get it out of her somehow, even if that meant getting her drunk; (even though she was pregnant!) so she decided to tell. "Jack, I'll tell you but I'm terrified on how you're going to react" Jackie explained. 

Jack nodded. "Jackie please tell me. I'll get them to say whether they did it on purpose. They maybe tried to kill you". Jackie nodded. "I think they did" Jackie confessed. Jack was shocked. He told her to say who it was. Whoever tried to kill Jackie, would pay, even in the most gruesome way. 

"Tell me" Jack begged. Jackie nodded. She took a deep breath and let it go. "Ok" she sighed. "It was Lyndon".
