Summary: Jack is now clean and sober and has started back at work doing as little hours as possible. He is currently on E.R rotation and is working 10 am whilst 6 pm. The majority of things that happened in s4 has happened but not in the time frame it did. So just go with the flow and if anything needs explaining ask and I'll try and clear it up. :) enjoy.
Jack is currently doing some paper work in an office close to the E.R when he is interrupted by a nurse rushing in. Jack looks up to see the nurse catching her breath; he wonders what the rush is about. He starts to ask the nurse but she cuts him off by holding her hand up.
Nurse: "Dr Shepard, you need to come with me now."
At this, Jack immediately stands still none the wiser of the emergency that he needs to go to. The nurse sees the puzzled look on Jack's face and continues.
Nurse: "Bed 4. A patient is asking for you… he's causing quite a scene for such a little guy. Won't let anyone touch him, even the nanny."
Jack's heads shoots up, eyes wide, heart pounding, and a lump forming in his throat. It can't be…wait she said nanny, wheres…
Jack: "Is his mother not with him?" His asks his voice surprisingly quiet, the nurse hearing him however. She shakes her head.
Nurse: "No. However, the nanny as informed her and she says she's on her way. Poor thing is out Christmas shopping."
Jack takes a deep breath the nurse looks at him with questioning eyes, some sympathy hidden behind them.
Nurse: "We best get going Dr Shepard."
The nurse starts to head out the door she turns and sees Jack following.
Nurse: "He's got a few cuts and bruises. Fell of a climbing frame, must've slipped on the icy bars. His arm looks broken, but as I said, he won't let anyone touch him so we can't know for sure."
Jack nods as they near bed 4, which has the curtains closed all the way round. Jack hearing the boys cry from the outside, the whole E.R probably had. Jack lets a tear fall down his face that he didn't even know was there, as he hears the boys' pleas.
The nurse looks at him sympathetically, and nods.
Nurse: "That's all he keeps saying. The nanny told us who he meant, we thought it best to come and tell you, even though you're not related." She says the last part quietly as she knows the subject is still very sensitive to him. Especially by the longing, yet worried look on his face as he yet to enter the room. Jack nods again at the nurse who says she'll be on her way once she's asked Jack that he can get everything under control. He nods and tells her he can. Can he? The nurse whether believing or not leaves him holding onto the curtain about to pull back and face the crying little boy.
He pulls back the curtain and enters. He sees an intern at the side of the boy, who's trying to look at the boys' arm but he is constantly wriggling and screaming for him. His eyes yet to land on him, he finally makes his presence known, an unknown rush of anger suddenly fills him as he sees the intern still trying to all be it calmly look at the boys arm. Jack snaps.
Jack: "Will you get your hands off of him! Can't you see he's in enough distress as it is?"
All eyes on Jack, the intern shocked and taken aback by Jack's outburst quickly steps away from the boy. Jack looks at her apologetically. The young boys face lights up as he sees him. The nurse starts towards Jack and looks down ashamed. Jack places his hand on her arm stopping her. She must think he's going to scold her again as he sees her eyes fill. Jack smiles slightly.
Jack: "I'm sorry about shouting at you. I…I shouldn't, I'm sorry. I've got it from here thank you."
He releases the girls arm and turns back into the room his attention on the boy who shouts out to him, his pleas finally being answered.
"Daddy! Daddy Jack!" He weeps with joy and pain. Jack starts to make his way over to him he places himself on the edge of the bed and strokes the boys' hair. The boy smiles at him.
Jack: "Hey Aaron."
