"Jackie." Nick screamed.

"Come on Nicky, let's go." Catherine said as she gently grabbed his arm and tried to lead him out of the room.

"No, I'm not leaving her." He said.

"Come on sir." a doctor said as he grabbed Nick to help Catherine get him out of the room.

"Jackie, fight, you gotta sweetie, please, fight harder than you ever have." He begged.

Finally Catherine and the doctor were able to get him out of the room.

"My kids need their mother, they love her, she is the center of their universe, I can't raise them by myself, I'm involved in their lives but I don't do all the little things that she does. She is such a great mother, I guess I should have learned all the little things that she does with them, I should have but I didn't and now it's too late. What am I going to do?" Nick said before burying his face in his hands.

"Nicky, listen to me. You are a wonderful father, you give more time, love, and guidance to those kids then any father I have ever met, if you have to raise those kids you can, and I know you'll do a great job, and you'll never be alone, you're coworkers are your family, we'll be there for you, and so will your parents and your family as well as Jackie's family, especially her parents, they are very close to your kids, but for right now, let's just pray that it doesn't come to that."

"Mr. Stokes." Dr. Tyson said as he entered the room.

He met Nick's eyes "Good news, we got your wife's heart started again."

"You mean she's going to be alright?" Nick asked feeling like he might faint.

"Well she's nowhere out of the woods yet, but I am a lot more optimistic about her prognosis then I was. We will keep you posted." He gently laid his hand on Nick's shoulder and patted it before leaving the room.

Nick then turned back to Catherine and threw her arms around her. She returned the embrace.
