Six months had passed and PJ was getting worried. He had searched everywhere for Jo but had not even found a clue as to where she was. He had called all her friends and family but they hadn't seen or heard from Jo in months. Not even Jo's parents knew where she was (Which PJ thought was a little suspicious). He had waited by the phone for her to call every night. But she never did. He slept with her photograph and his engagement ring under his pillow every night. This went on and on until PJ eventually gave up.
He stopped trying to find her and he focused himself entirely on work. He started to realize that Jo was never coming back. He looked at her desk every time he walked past. He was still not used to seeing Jaclyn sitting in her seat, doing her paperwork. He missed her every part of the day but he especially missed her during the night. His bed felt empty without her and he hated not being able to hold her in his arms and tell her how much he loves her. He cried himself to sleep most nights, which was unusual for him. He never cried unless something was seriously wrong. The last time he cried was when he told Jo he didn't love her. And before that it was when his mother had died. Now he felt so alone. He needed to move on with his life and he knew it was going to be hard but he also knew there was no way Jo was coming back. She had moved on with her life and now it was time for him to do the same. He had managed to get over Maggie and move on, now it was time to move on from Jo. But it was going to be harder than he thought…
"Come on Jo PUSH!" the doctor cried. Jo was in the delivery room at Queensland General Hospital and she was giving birth to her twins. Her Father was by her side holding her hand. She squeezed really tight as she pushed really hard and then she took a deep breath and relaxed when she heard the cry of her tiny baby.
"It's a girl." The nurse said and she held the baby up for Jo to see.
"It's a girl…a girl." Jo smiled.
"Ooh here comes the second one." The doctor said. "Push Jo, push." He cried. Jo pushed as hard as she could then she stopped and took a breath. "And again Jo. Here we go…Push."
"Aaaahhhhhhh!" Jo screamed her scream was followed by the wail of another tiny baby.
"It's a boy." The doctor said.
"Congratulations honey. You're a mummy." Jo smiled and she relaxed once again.
"I'm a mummy." Tears began running down her cheeks as she held her babies for the first time.
To every broken heart in here
Love was once a part, but now it's disappeared
She told me that it's all part of the choices that you make
Even when you think you're right
You have to give to take
"How are you doing Jo?" Mack one of the nurses asked when she walked in. Jo had been in the hospital for almost a week and Mack was one of her regular visitors.
"Great. I can't believe I'm a mother."
"It is a little hard to believe but trust me you'll know about it soon enough." She walked over to the babies. "Hello Kieran." Mack said and she cooed over the tiny boy.
"You can hold him if you want."
"Actually I'd better not. I'm not even supposed to be in here. Jan's on patrol and I'm supposed to be changing the nappies in the nursery." Mack laughed. "I'll come back when my shift is over though. We can catch up some more."
"I'd like that. It's great to see you again."
"Yeah you too." Mac waved as she walked out of the room. Geoff walked in as she was walking out.
"How are you doing?" Geoff asked. Jo couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I miss him so much Dad." Geoff knew exactly what his daughter was talking about. He sat next to her bed and held her hand.
"Jo sweetie you've got to stay strong." Geoff had found out some bad news, which he had been withholding from Jo from the past two months. "If not for you then for your children. They need you Jo. You're all they've got in the world."
"Dad…they still have a father. And they always will."
"Jo…there's something I need to tell you."
"You look so serious. What's happened?"
"It's about PJ." Jo gasped.
"What?"
"He's…how can I say this…he's…"
"Just spit it out dad."
"Well you know the reason you left…?"
"What's that got to do with what happened to PJ?"
"Well…you see."
"Dad!"
"Joanna this is hard enough for me as it is. Do you have any idea how hard it was to keep this from you as long as I have."
"What? Keep what from me dad?"
"PJ's moved on."
But there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today
"What do you mean 'moved on'?" Jo was confused and upset at the same time. She refused to believe PJ had forgotten about her.
"He's got a new life now Jo."
"No! He couldn't forget about me."
"Jo. You were the one that left him remember. Did you think he was just going to wait around forever for you to come back?'
"No. It's just…I miss him so much."
"Jo you have to decide what you want to do? Are you going to go back to PJ or are you going to stay here with Jack?"
"I love PJ so much…" Jo started crying. "And we created these beautiful babies together."
"You love Jack too remember. He's the reason you left PJ. Make sure you take that into consideration when you make your decision." With that Geoff left the room.
But we sing I wonder if you're listening But there's still tomorrow But we sing But we sing if we're going nowhere But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love
Picking up on the signals
Sent back from within
Sometimes it feels like I don't really know what's going on
Time and time again it seems like everything is wrong in here
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love
Yeah we sing if it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason to ever fall in love
If we're going no where
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing with out a reason to never fall in love
To never fall in love again
Who will Jo choose? Review and you'll find out…
