A Frightening Scene

"Honey would you mind if I run to the coffee shop for an hour or so? I'd like to just relax, have a coffee and read, I won't be gone long, would you be ok watching the kids for a bit by yourself?" Jackie asked Nick.

"Sure, go for it." He responded with a smile.

"Thanks, if you need me to come home for any reason just call, I'll see you in a bit. Oh and I think I am going to try that coffee shop by my school, it's new and I haven't been there yet so that's where I'll be." She said as she leaned over and kissed his cheek before grabbing her purse, book, and car keys and heading out the door.

Jackie ordered her coffee and then sat down in one of the comfy chairs and started reading her book. She read two chapters of her book, and then she looked at her watch and decided that she better get back to Nick and the kids. She grabbed her half-drank coffee and gathered up all of her belongings and left.

Later that night after she and Nick had put the kids to bed she sat down in a kitchen chair.

"You ok?" Nick asked, as he noticed she had an odd expression on her face.

"Not really, I feel like I'm going to throw up." She told him.

"Can I get you anything?" He asked.

"No thanks, I think I am just going to go to bed, hopefully I'll be fine by tomorrow, but just in case I am really getting sick would you mind getting up with the baby if he cries tonight, I don't want to get the little guy sick."

"Sure."

"Thanks, I owe you one hon, and thanks for letting me have some time to myself today." She told him with an appreciative smile.

"Feel better, and if you need anything let me know."

"Thanks." She told him before she went upstairs and went to bed.

Nick went to bed an hour later.

The next day Jackie was still sick, and she vomited several times. Jackie's mom came over to help Nick take care of both Jackie and the kids.

In the middle of the night the baby's cries woke him up. He blinked, trying to get adjusted to the darkness.

"I'm coming little buddy." He said quietly as he staggered out of bed.

It was then that he noticed Jackie was not sleeping next to him. He walked to the bathroom and noticed the door was partially closed.

"Jacks, you ok?" He called.

She didn't answer.

"Jackie?" He called again.

When she still didn't answer he opened the door a little wider. He found Jackie sprawled on the floor with her eyes closed.

"Jackie." He screamed as he raced over to her.

She wasn't breathing, he felt for a pulse, she had one but it was very faint. He raced into the other room to the phone so he could call 911. Once he had the phone he raced back to Jackie's side. He frantically dialed 911.

"911 what is your emergency?" The operator asked.

"My wife is not breathing, I need an ambulance right now at 922 Rose Avenue."

He then started CPR.

"Come on Jacks, stay with me." He prayed as he continued CPR.

Sloan was still screaming his little head off in the other room but the baby would have to wait for his bottle.
