Mass Destruction

Chapter 19

Jax falls asleep to Corrie's deep breathing and the soft murmur of her heart monitor. His head is resting on her stomach with his hand clasped tightly in her limp one. The silence is deafening; Corrie still hasn't woken up and Jax knows the moment she does she will want to know about the baby. She's going to hate him. He deserves her hatred and anger, he caused this.

His phone ringing wakes him up out of a restless slumber, he answers it groggily; it's Neeta. Shit, he completely forgot about Neeta.

"Hey Neeta"

"Hi Jackson, I tried calling Corrine. It's past 10. I put Abel to sleep but I have to go home. When are you coming back?"

Jax looks at his old lady in the hospital bed, still in deep sleep. He frowns at the tears forming in his eyes, "I'll get Gemma to relieve you, Corrie...Corrie was attacked; she's in the hospital"

"Mierda! I'm so sorry. Is she okay?"

"She will be. I'll get Gemma to come, sorry Neeta"

He hangs up and looks at Corrie, his hand stroking her head

He calls Gemma's phone and she answers it immediately, no doubt staying by the phone for an update on Corrie.

"Is she awake?"

"No" Jax's voice breaks, "Neeta's at home with Abel, can you relieve her and then bring him here tomorrow?"

"Yea I'll go get him, call with an update Jackson"

"I will" he hangs up the phone and kisses Corrie's head, "I need you to wake up baby. Please just wake up"

"J-Jax"

"J-Jax"

He wakes up at the sound of Corrie's groggily voice. The tears fall down his cheeks at rapid pace, he beams and kisses her forehead

"Hey baby, you're okay" he whispers and kisses her again.

"What happened?" She whispered

"You were attacked at the gallery. He... he shot you and assaulted you" Jax whispers, trying to keep the tears at bay but looking at her broken face and her flat stomach where once his baby was housed, the flood gates open and he buries his face in her neck

"He shot my stomach" her voice turns panicked, "Jax, he shot by stomach. The baby-"

Jax frowns, he's going to break her heart now.

"Uh, you uh, you had a miscarriage"

Jax frowns deeply as he tries to avoid looking into her eyes; he knows it holds heartbreak and anger, maybe even resentment.

"He killed my baby?" Corrie whispers softly, Jax almost didn't hear her.

"I'm so sorry" he mumbles and finally looks into her eyes feeling his own heart breaks.

"I'm sorry" he whispers brokenly, "I'm so sorry"

Corrie's eyes swim in a river of tears, she swallows loudly, "Please get out"

"Corrie"

"Please get out" She whispers again, when he doesn't make a move to leave she pushes his shoulder, "Get out! Get out! Get out!" She screams out in agony. Jax cries softly at the broken heart wrenching wails coming from his love.

He nods sombrely and walks out with a heavy heart. As soon as he closes the door he cries in his hands.

Jax sniffs and wipes his eyes clear of the tears when Rooseveldt walks up to him
