A/N:

Hello everyone!

I was thinking - and I found out that I don't know anything about Jack's or Sue's families. I created Jack's sister named Anna and I don't believe that Jack wouldn't talk to his sister but I had to start the plot somehow... Don't hate me if I present some other people from their lives who have never been mentioned in the show... :-)

Enjoy! Oh, and review if you have time :-)

Thank you Heidi for beta-reading,

And thank you van332 for telling me about the stupid mistake I made.

Chapter Four

While outside in the streets of Washington DC the snow kept falling and everything seemed so calm, in Sue's apartment there was a mess. Not only was Matt crying whenever Sue stopped cradling him or went to another room, they were also running out of milk that Jack got in the hospital. Even more, they didn't find a solution to the current situation – what to do with the little baby?

„Jack, have you tried to find his father?" was an obvious question that Sue had to ask even though she had already known the answer.

„I called Bobby to look into it and he should call back in no time. Tara is scanning Anna's computer and looking for some names, addresses or numbers that would lead us to Matt's father. But I personally think that if Anna wanted Matt's father in their lives he would be with them now. But in her mobile phone there were neither messages nor calls."

„Oh, I had no idea she was so alone! I am so sorry!"

Jack was thinking for a second and then answered: „I know what you mean, I didn't know either. I actually don't know anything about her. What a wonderful brother have I been? I haven't called her, haven't written her, oh my god I didn't even know she had a baby! I've been so selfish! I thought that the argument was her fault but she was right! I AM selfish! All I care about is my work! What she..."

„Jack! Jack, stop it! I can't make out a word from what you are saying! Let's sit down and we'll talk, ok?"

Jack was pacing around the room and didn't answer her. When she put her hand on his shoulder he stopped and looked at her as if he saw her for the first time.

„What were you saying, Sue? I was thinking aloud..."

„I see... Jack, it's not your fault your sister had an accident! She will live, she will wake up and she and Matt will be ok. Do you hear me? She will be alright. And by then we'll take care of Matt. Just don't blame yourself. And you are not selfish if you must know."

Jack wasn't responding. He started to pace again.

„Hello? Earth to Jack?"

„We?"

„Wow, it speaks..."

„We?"

„Excuse me?"

„You said ›we will take care of Matt‹."

„I did, something wrong with that is there? Jack. Your sister is in trouble, the baby is in trouble, the least we can do is to take care of Matt until Anna is alive and kicking."

„What if she never wakes up?"

„She will."

„OK, I believe you... I am so tired. And above all I have no idea how to babysit a nursling!"

„Well, neither do I. but we are special trained, aren't we? We'll get it right, I'm sure. Come here, isn't he looking like an angel when he is sleeping?"

Jack smiled for the first time in that day and answered:

„When he is sleeping he looks like an angel, yes... But when he is awake, the world needs to know how strong his lungs are. When he is awake he's more like a small devil, don't you think? He's just like his mother..."

TBC...

Thanks for reading :-) Hope you enjoyed.
