Summary- In which Jack tries to drive, Sean nearly bleeds to death, the rest of the family are scared witless and Katy thinks the whole thing is one big adventure.

Fair warning most of this chapter is In Jack Reagan's point of view

It was on one of those rare November nights, where New York was getting colder and darker at that "The Incident" as it was later called occurred. The family which included Frank, Henry, Erin, Danny, Linda, Jamie and Nikki were at fundraiser hosted by the mayor in which the whole Reagan Family had expected to go to. The three exceptions were a fifteen year old Jack a twelve year old Sean and a four year old Katy. Apparently Linda trusted Jack to not let anyone die or burn the house down and had left him in sole charge of the other two in Frank's house with strict instructions that they would be home by midnight.

It was around ten o'clock when the incident happened; Katy was curled up on the sofa in her pyjamas fast asleep with the ending credits of a long Disney marathon finishing. She had eaten her weight in pizza and cookies and was finally asleep. Sean was in the kitchen having lost a bet to Jack and was therefore doing the dishes and Jack himself was sat on the stairs involved in a long texting conversation with Theresa Jackson, one of the prettiest girls in school. He had just gotten to what the fifteen year old thought was a pivotal turning point in their relationship when Sean's high pitched (because hormones were a bitch) scream echoed throughout the house.

Leaping up, dropping his phone and running into the kitchen Jack was awarded with the sight of his little brother, howling in pain as it appeared he had sliced half his arm open with one of his Grandpa Henry's carving knives. Blood was spattered all down the cabinets and pooling on the floor, the smell prominent throughout the kitchen and making Jack want to hurl. There were bloody handprints from where Sean had slipped to the floor and his younger brother's face had gone considerably whiter.

Jack stared for about a second before running around and nearly skidding in the blood, reaching for a tea towel he pressed it to his brother's arm watching as crimson began to spread. "Shit" Jack swore watching as Sean gritted his teeth in pain. "Shit, Shit, Shit". He wondered briefly if he should call an ambulance but a big part of him knew that Sean needed emergency attention fast. It would be quicker to drive to the hospital, except he didn't have a learners permit yet.

"That's a bad word" said a small voice from behind him and Jack turned to see Katy stood behind him clutching her stuffed purple unicorn, watching the two of them with wide blue eyes. "Sorry Kiddo" Jack said trying to lift Sean up to his feet. The blood had spread to where Katy was standing which was a bad sign. "Go wait by the door Katy were going to take a little trip to the hospital."

Katy didn't seem bothered about the trip to the hospital but seemed more pleased about being in a car at night. As she turned and skipped off Jack could see bloody footprints all the way to the door and in the carpet. Wincing at the blood spatter that followed the three of them out the door Jack swore in his head. His mother was so going to kill him. He didn't bother locking the door or getting Katy's car seat. The only car in the driveway was the unmarked police car that his father drove so that would have to do, and in his haste he had forgotten to take his phone or leave a note leaving the house looking like a bad home invasion.

Placing Sean in the car Jack winced again at the amount of blood that was already over the upholstery. If his mother didn't kill him his father just might. He swore again when he got in the car, he only knew the basics of how to drive. His Dad had taken him out but had moaned that Jack had driven to slow and therefore hadn't done it again, and while he knew the way he didn't know how to stop the damn car. Sending a quick prayer he pulled the car into start and put his foot down.

One extremely tense and highly dangerous car ride later, Jack was amazed they had made it to the hospital in one piece. Sean had been dangerously quite the whole of the drive and Katy had increasingly dangerous demands of "Go Faster Jack go faster". The only sting in the whole ride had been parking which as Jack had now learned wasn't as simple as backing up. He had backed the car into a pole by accident; he hadn't had much time to worry as he had opened the door to let Katy out had let Sean lean on him covering him in blood before staggering through the doors to St Mary's ER.

He had only made it through the door before nurses and a doctor were upon him tugging Sean out of his arms, putting him on a gurney and began shouting at each other before pulling Sean down an endless hallway. Jack's shoulders sagged the combination of fear, several serious driving penalties and a small accident waging on him, the only thing keeping him standing being Katy's small hand in his. It was only when his cousin tugged his hand hard that he realised a nurse had been trying to talk to him. She was a tall redhead her hair in a bun on her head and her name tag identified her as Sinead, and she was smiling at Jack gently.

"Hey Honey, are you and your little sister hurt to?" Jack looked down and swallowed heavily. Most of his leather jacket, white V-neck and the right side of his blue jeans were covered in blood; he could feel it drying on his hands and face as well. Looking at Katy he saw she had forgotten to put on shoes and her feet were covered in dried blood, as were the bottom of her pyjamas. He swallowed again feeling as if he was drowning before shaking his head and whispered "She's my cousin and no-it was just my brother, he sliced his arm on a knife in the kitchen and I just had to get him here there was so much blood…" he trailed off as Sinead gently lead him to a seat.

"Listen to me" she said soothingly "your brother is going to be just fine but we need your name and address so we can contact your parents" but Jack wasn't listening, all he could see was blood, and the two pizza's he had ate and the four cans of soda and the chocolate cake in the fridge and all he could hear was the roaring in his ears and suddenly he bent over and threw up at the nice nurses feet.

She gently helped him into a seat, Katy climbing next to him, her eyes filled with tears as she had now realised that this wasn't a fun night-time drive. Sinead disappeared before coming back to with two glasses of water and a couple of chocolate bars for Katy. She rubbed his back unflinching of the mess at her feet and gently helped him drink the water in slow sips as he tried to control the shaking in his hand. He managed half of the glass down before he caught sight of the clock saying five past midnight. Crap-his parents and the rest of the family would be home and he realised he had left his phone at home in his hurry.

"My Family" he muttered "they were out, we were staying at my Grandfather's house and I left my phone" he straightened up widely looking around "Do you have one I can use?"

Sinead shushed him again "In a minute Hun I just need you to finish this water first" Jack nodded pointing to what was left of his dinner being cleaned up by another nurse. "Sorry for…" he gestured weekly, Sinead laughed "Honey trust me that's the least of what I have to deal with" She helped him to his feet and pointed in the direction of a phone on the nurse's station where he was sat.

He took another deep breath when he reached the phone and tried not to look at the blood staining his hands. With slightly calmer hands than before he dialled Grandpa's house number. Leaning against the wall it only rang once before it was picked up.

"Who is this?" came the voice of his dad and Jack nearly started crying. His dad sounded nothing short of terrified. "Jack? Sean? Katy? Who the hell is this and where are my kids?" Jack was momentarily struck silent by the slight tremor in his dad's voice, about the way he sounded terrified and then he remembered the fact that he had left the door open and all the blood in the kitchen, crap.

"Dad, Dad relax it's me, Jack" he managed out, breathing deeply in again. "Jack, buddy thank god" his dad said his voice coming out in a tone Jack had never heard him use before. "Where are you? Are you all alright? My God Jack the kitchen…" he was about to reply when he heard what sounded like a scuffle and then his grandfather was on the phone.

"Jack where are you?" in the moment he realised that his grandpa was now in the mode of the police commissioner. "Were fine Grandpa honestly…well except Sean but…" he was abruptly cut off again by his Grandpa who's voice sounded much sharper than before "Why what's happened to Sean?". Jack heard what sounded like his dad having to be pulled back from the phone at that and he spoke quickly a strange combination of panic and shock seeping into him that wanted his parents here and this conversation over.

"Nothing honestly Grandpa it was an accident I swear, Sean was doing the dishes and then he slipped and he caught his arm on one of those damn carving knives of Pops and there was so much blood, so I put him and Katy in dad's car and drove to the hospital, but I backed the car into a pole trying to park so now where in the ER."

"Which Hospital?" came the terse reply "St Mary's…" Jack began before once again he was cut off. "Jack don't move from there we will be there in five minutes" Before he was greeted by the dial tone. He stared at it for a second before hanging up and making his way back to where Katy and Sinead were still sitting. Katy crawled into her lap, having managed to calm down but as he numbly put his arms around her he was aware that the both of them were trembling. Sinead smiled at him "Ok Jack" and Jack didn't even blink at the idea that she had managed to get his name and Sean out of Katy, "I just spoke to the doctor on duty, there patching Sean up, you did right by getting him here, as quickly as you did"

Again Jack nodded closing his eyes, Sinead went to find out which doctor was with Sean and how long it would be before they would know anything, when a loud bang came from down the hallway causing him to open his eyes. The door slammed open and Jack looked to see his father run into the room, face white, hands shaking and looking close to either yelling or crying, he was closely followed by Uncle Jamie and his mom neither of whom looked any better.

Katy jumped down and with a cry of "Daddy" launched herself at Uncle Jamie, who caught her and pulled her up in his arms looking torn between relieved that his daughter was alright but slightly sick. The sight of Katy's blood stained feet might have had an Impact on that, Jack had forgotten about the bloody four year old footprints. Jack stood up just as his father got sight of him. His dad crossed the room nearly at a run stopping short and causing his mom to run into him. His dad's face seemed to go even paler and looking down Jack saw he was fixed on the blood that was all over him.

"No Dad it's alright" he said quickly "it's just a really bad cut promise-their stitching him up now" at that his dad opened his arms and Jack fell into them gratefully. For a moment the three of them stood there before he said the one thing that came to mind "I backed your car into a pole" his dad laughed once though it sounded slightly watery. "Don't worry about that kiddo"

Pulling away he could see his Grandpa with his arm around his Aunt and Cousin both looked extremely pale and his great-grandfather one the other side of them looking relieved, Uncle Jamie still had a tight grip on Katy who was resting on his hip. They were waiting for about five minutes before Sinead came back over followed by a doctor.

"So" Sinead said smiling "I take you're the rest of Sean Reagan's family?" "Yes" his mom cut in before anyone could speak "He's my son, how is he?" "Good news" the doctor said smoothly cutting in "despite the fact that the cut was a dangerous one and he lost a good amount of blood, however we stitched him up and he should be just fine, give him a couple of days in bed and if anything looks to be wrong with him bring him straight back in"

"Can we see him now?" his dad said speaking over the doctor. The doctor nodded before leading them to another room and there he was sitting up in bed, against the pillows and about the same colour as them was Sean. "Damn bro" Jack said weekly ignoring the look from his mom and choosing instead to focus on his brother "That was real scary". Sean laughed weekly "You driving was scary". This made everyone laugh. "As much as we are proud of Jack's actions, perhaps we could avoid it the next time" his mom said tightening her grip on his dad's arm "When we walked into the kitchen you put ten years on us all"

Sean nodded weakly followed by Jack. Looking up he saw Katy from her perch in Uncle Jamie's arms looking at him with her wide blue eyes he smiled slightly again "Hey Katy you Ok?" she nodded once-"That was shit scary Sean" she said softly. There was a shocked pause as everyone turned to Katy who was playing innocently with Uncle Jamie's suit collar. Jack winced for the hundredth time that night as all eyes turned to him "So something else you should know" he began…

Wow that was the longest one shot ever! Hope you guys enjoyed it!
