Jackie "Rita why?" Rita "I want to be with my son." Jackie "I want to be with Ron too, but not this the way." Rita "Goodbye Jackie." Jackie" No Rita No Oh my god NO!"
Rita died in Jackie's arms Jackie held Rita close to her. Jackie called Natalie,and Nick,and told them to meet her at her first house.
When she got off the phone with them she got back on her knees,and picked up the gun from Rita's hand then she sat down on a chair Nick, and Natalie showed up,and when they did they were in shock they saw Jackie sitting in a chair holding a gun,and then they saw her mother in law on the floor dead Natalie ran Jackie,and held her.
Natalie "What happened?" Jackie "Ron's mum Rita killed herself here is the gun she used." Nick "Are you okay?" Jackie "I'm fine." Natalie "Jackie someone you loved just took their own life you can cry." Jackie "I have cried I'm fine." Nick "You're in denial." Jackie "Nick,and Nat I'm fine really." Natalie "Jackie come on tell us how you really feel."
Jackie "Alright I feel like I've lost my best friend,and to be truthful I wish it was me laying there instead of Rita I want to join her." Natalie "You're talking crazy you have so much to live for your getting married tomorrow,and you have a baby on the way." Jackie "No I'm not talking crazy I want to join her."
Nick "You're not thinking clearly you're in shock." Jackie "Nick I'm thinking clearly in I can't get married tomorrow." Natalie "What why?" Jackie "I wanted Rita to be there but since she can't be there I'm not getting married without her there the wedding is off."
Jackie ran outside got into her car,turned it on turned her car around,and drove down the driveway as she was driving she looked up at Rita's picture on her sunviser,and then she began to think about how much she missed,and loved Ron, and Rita.
She began to cry she was crying so many tears that she couldn't see where she was driving,and she drove her into a tree Natalie let out a scream,and Nick flew to Jackie's car ripped the door off,and rescued Jackie then he flew her back to the driveway of her first house,and laid her down.
He checked Jackie for a plause but he couldn't find one he picked her up,and carried her to his car Natalie followed him to the hospital back in Toronto Jackie's doctor Terri Fisher met them in the Er Jackie was rushed into surgery a few hours later Terri came out of the OR,and told Nick,and Natalie that Jackie would be fine,and she also said that the baby was fine as well Nick and Natalie were showed to Jackie's hospital room.
Nick "I could have lost her." Natalie "But you didn't." Nick "I love her so much Nat." Natalie "I know I'm glad she going to be alright." Nick So am I she has been through so much." Natalie "Yes she has but she's still a pretty tough cookie."
Nick "I don't know what I'll do if I lose her." Natalie "She'll be fine Nick." Don "Oh my god Nick I heard about Jackie's accident how's she doing?" Nick "She's going to be fine Don thank you for asking." Don "I'm glad I was worried." Natalie "Do you want us to stay with you Nick?"
Nick "No you guys go home,and I'll see you both tomorrow." Don "See you tomorrow Nick." Natalie "Try to get some rest." Nick" I will." Natalie "Bye." Nick "Bye."
Natalie,and Don left the hospital Nick sat in Jackie's room with her. He held her hand he began to cry he truly loved Jackie. He began to pray.
Nick "Dear god please save the life of this woman I love,and our baby.." LaCroix "I told you she was bad news." Nick "LaCroix what unpleasant surprise what do you want?" LaCroix "I came to say I told you so so I'll say it I told you so." Nick "I know you think this is funny but I don't I love Jackie, and I also love our baby."LaCroix "It's very amusing to me I'll leave you alone now so can pray some more."
LaCroix left,and Nick was left to his own thoughts he never left Jackie's side Jackie was hooked up to so many machine's that Nick was afraid to touch her he feared that Jackie wouldn't wake up he feared she would die Nick fell asleep in the chair he was sitting in he would wait forever for her to wake up if that's what it would take.
The doctor would go into Jackie's room,and check her status Jackie's Doctor Terri was hopeful that Jackie would make a full recovery Nick went into work the next night he was a complete wreck. He couldn't focus on work.
Every time the phone rang Nick thought it was the hospital with news on Jackie Caption Stonetree noticed Nick's slump,and he decided to give Nick the night off. Nick took his night off, and went back to the hospital he sat waiting,and waiting for hour's upon hours waiting Jackie some sign that Jackie would wake up.
He wondered if she would ever wake up he went home to his loft he laid down on the couch,and fell asleep he kept thinking about Jackie's accident,and none of it made sense he could see Jackie's accident in his mind it kept playing over, and over in his mind Nick woke up with a start when he heard the phone ring.
It was Natalie she wanted to find out how Jackie was Nick told Natalie there was no change Natalie drove to Nick's loft,and she stayed with him for a few days she knew he needed his friends by his side right now that night everyone held a candle light vigil for Jackie, and her baby all of Nick's friend's prayed for Jackie, and the baby will Jackie wake up? Or will she stay in her coma,and die?
