I'll Be Fine


"Hey Jack?" Kim's sweet voice carried out to him from where she was standing in the doorway of their living room. At the call, Jack's head snapped up from watching the tv as he turned to look at his wife.

"Yeah Kim?" He smiled, lovingly gazing at his 4-months-pregnant wife who was staring at him innocently. He stood up and made his way over to her, soon standing face to face with her.

Kim smiled and bit her lip, in a way that sent Jack crazy even after all these years. Jack sighed and wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her as close to him as her slight baby bump would allow.

Kim stared up at him through her eyelashes and snaked her arms around his neck, still smiling and biting her lip. Jack leaned down and rubbed noses with her, before capturing her lips in a sweet kiss.

Four months ago she had told Jack that she was pregnant and sent them both over the moon. After half a year of marriage, the now 21 year olds were expecting a baby girl, another thing that sent especially Jack into glee.

Breaking away from the kiss, Jack smiled and looked at Kim curiously.

"What did you want baby girl?" He couldn't believe that in another five months, he would get his baby girl n.2, his princess, his little bundle of joy...all of which he got to share with Kim.

Kim put their foreheads together and smiled again, this time giddily.

"I wanna play Hide and Seek!" She squealed, breaking free from Jack's hold. He was left staring at her with wide eyes, completely thrown off guard.

She wanted to play Hide and Seek?

"But...why?" Jack asked, confused out of his mind. Of all the things they could do, she wanted to play Hide and Seek.

Kim rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips, "Come on Jack! We haven't played in like, forever!"

Jack raised his eyebrows, totally amused at this point.

"Please Jack? Just once! And we can invite the guys to play with us! It'll be more fun than just in two!" Kim gave her best puppy dog eyes, something that got her husband every time.

Jack tried to resist but really, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't, "Oh okay! Fine! We can play Hide and Seek" he put his hands up in surrender and grinned when Kim rejoiced.

"Yay! Thanks Jack!" Kim threw her arms around Jack, squeezing him tight but also being careful of her bump.

When they pulled back, Jack frowened and Kim instantly knew what was wrong. She smiled fondly and put her hand on her bump.

"Don't worry Jack, the baby and me will be alright." Jack looked down at her baby bump and put his hand over her hers.

"I'll be fine"


I'll be fine...I'll be fine.

But she wasn't.

Jack stared down at the sleeping form of his daughter, who had decided to remain with her dad in his room and cuddle up with him. She had fallen asleep a while ago but Jack was wide awake, now leaning against the back of the bed and patting Olivia's head affectionately.

He rested his head against the board and gulped down hard. This was impossible. When Olivia first barged into his room and shook him awake, he didn't know what she was blabbering about.

But as soon as she said 'mommy' he froze. His heart stopped for a moment and his blood literally ran cold. Now, he may have calmed down after the initial shock of hearing her talk about her mother but hearing her say she had spoken to her...

Jack shook his head again, this really was impossible. He looked back down at his daughter and tried to convince himself that it had only been a dream.

It had to be. There was no way Olivia had talked to her in reality because...because Kim was dead.

Jack drew in a shaky breath as he brought himself to realize this fact once more, the pain always building ten fold. Even after four years, he was still a mess. He only tried to be strong for the closest thing to Kim he had left, his little Olivia.

Sure, he had told Olivia stories about her mother from time to time, explained how she was and how Olivia was exactly like her. Olivia had always seemed fascinated but Jack always had to endure the pain in telling her she would never get to see her again.

She was only a year old when Kim left them, so of course the little girl didn't remember much. He had tried to build up their life without her and hoped that one day the pain would subside.

So why did Olivia had to come now and tell him this? He didn't know why, but he felt like there was something more to this dream. He wanted to believe it was a dream but something held him back.

Could he actually believe what his five year old daughter was telling him?

Jack thought hard. She couldn't be making this up. Olivia had never before had some serious dream like this and it involved her mom. Even she had to realize that something this serious couldn't be joked about.

Why would she dream about Kim coming to see her and telling her it was just a game of Hide and Seek?

Sure, Kim had always loved the game, in their teen years she would always make the gang play, but this didn't mean she would hide the fact that she was dead!

Plus, Olivia didn't know this. Of all the things Jack had told her, he forgot to mention she liked Hide and Seek.

Suddenly, Jack sat up straight, realization drawning upon him.

Kim liked Hide and Seek.

Shs told Olivia to come find her.

"Kim..." Jack looked at the framed picture on his nightstand, the smiling face of Kim staring back at him.

He knew he ought to know this was impossible, because she was dead, but still. He looked back Olivia and hope started filling him.

Maybe...just maybe the dream could turn into reality.


Jack threw himself onto the soft couch and sighed. He rubbed his temples in hopes of relieving the pain and make his headache go away but it was that persistent.

"Here you go Jack" He looked up as Milton came over to him, a pill in one hand and a glass of water in the other.

Jerry had invited both Milton and Jack over to his place to spend some time together after a whole week of work. It was tradition, making up for the lost time in the weekends.

As soon as they arrived, Olivia had run off to play with Milton and Jerry's kids, 4 year old Lance and 5 year old Gabe. Gabe's little sister and Jerry's youngest kid, was just following them around and doing her best to play.

"Thanks Milton" Jack gulped down the pill and ran a hand through his hair, hoping the headache would just leave him alone now.

Milton nodded and sat down next to Jack, "Tough night?" Milton patted Jack sympathetically on the shoulder, sighing as he thought about Kim.

The man was falling to pieces without her. Jack nodded in response as Jerry came in and joined them too, having just left Taylor and a pregnant Julie chatting in the kitchen.

"What happened bro?" The Latino asked as he plopped down onto the couch too, sitting on the other side of Jack.

The brunt leaned back and crossed his arms, "Nothing, just Olivia woke me up in the middle of the night..."

"And...?" Milton urged him, knowing that there was more to it. Jack sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He had to tell the guys. Maybe they would tell him he was just being crazy and that all that happened last night meant nothing.

"She had a...a dream" he began, looking for the right way to phrase the matter, "And..." he stopped. The words got stuck in His throat and he was fighting them out.

"Go on Jack" Jerry nodded at him, eyes narrowed in attention and even concern.

"She saw Kim" Jack blurred out, now waiting for a reaction from the guys. He felt them stiffen and gulped.

"K-Kim? She saw Kim?" Jerry stuttered, eyes wide.

"What did she do?" Milton asked, voice barely above a whisper but enough for Jack to hear it.

"She said to...to come find her. She said that all this was just a game" Jack stood up from the couch and turned back towards the giys, who were now looking up at him.

"She said it was just a simple game of Hide and Seek and that we still had to find her." Jack's voice grew hard as his jaw clenched. All of a sudden, all he felt was anger.

Not hopelessness, not pain, just anger.

"Guys...please tell me I'm going crazy" Jack shut his eyes thigtly and pleaded.

What else could he do? He was a man who had lost his love, he was someone who was still trying to deal with the aftermath, how could you throw this one more thing at him and tell him it was all a game?

"Tell me I shouldn't believe Olivia." Milton and Jerry didn't say anything, because they were too shocked to even think. They were both feeling so bad for their best friend, who didn't deserve all of this.

Why him and Kim? The golden couple?

What could they say now too make Jack feel better? They had already said it all during the last four year.

"Jack-" Milton began, trying to put Jack out of his misery, but the poor man was already in too deep.

"Tell me I'll be fine"


And there you go! Hope it was all okay and I'll be sure to update soon!

In the meantime, drop in a review and don't be afraid to share your ideas! I might catch up on one of them, because I feel like I might need some help with this story after all.

Thanks guys and until next time,
