Carly's trouble with men part 7

The next morning jack woke up in the chair next to carly's hospitalbed after falling asleep there the night before when he saw that carly was awake and looking at him;"Hi."
"Hi."said jack as he saw that carly looked much better then she did the day before;"How are you feeling?"
"Good enough to go home."answered she with a faint smile;"Did you stay here all night?"
"I guess so."started her ex slowly when he heard margo's voice in the hallway,together with chris's voice,so he got up and left the room;"I'll be right back."
Outside of carly's room margo was talking to chris;"I really do need to talk to carly!"
"No,i can't let you do that!"said her brother-in-law;"Carly can't be questioned yet!"
"Can you two keep it down!"warned jack the both of them as he pulled margo away from carly's room;"What are you doing here,margo,can't you wait with this untill carly's a bit better?"
"Come on,jack,you know as well as i do that i need to question her about sam and it might give us the break that we've been waiting for to catch him!"said she;"Don't you want us to catch him before he goes after carly again?"
"Ofcourse i want him caught,but i don't think that you should question carly right now because she's been through enough and she doesn't need the added stress!"answered her friend;"There's no way that you can question her right now!"
"Question me about what?"asked carly as she suddenly appear in the doorway,leaning up against the door;"I thought that sam was in jail."
"What are you doing out of bed!"said her doctor while he quickly grabbed carly before she fell and helped her back into bed,with the help of jack;"You really need to stay in bed,carly,you're not well enough to get up yet!"
"I'm fine!"answered she lying and looked at margo,who'd come into the room as well;"Why do i need to be questioned if sam is allready in jail?"
"Margo just wants to question you about a few things to tie up this case,carly,that's all."started jack quickly before margo had a chance to say anything;"But i allready told her that you're in no condition to be questioned right now."
"You make it sound like i'm laying on my death-bed or something."said she a bit annoyed;"I'm fine now that i've had a good nights sleep and to be honest i'm well enough to go home too."
"Jack's right,carly,i can come back and question you some other time."answered margo quickly as she turned around and left;"Get well soon."
"You're not well enough to go home yet,carly,you've got a mild concussion and you need bedrest."said the young doctor and walked away too;"I can't let you leave the hospital yet!"
"Stop looking at me like that!"warned she her ex when she saw the worried look in his eyes;"I'm fine!"
"No,you're not and nobody expects you to be after what you've been through."started jack hesitating and took her hand into his;"If you need to talk about it..."
"I'm kind of tired,jack,so if you don't mind..."answered his ex quickly,pulling back her hand,as she turned around and closed her eyes;"Go home to our kids."
"I'll be back later."said he a bit stuned by her strange reaction and left the room;"Bye,carly."
"Bye,jack."whispered carly softly with tears in her eyes as she heard the door beeing closed.

Back at the farm jack was still confused about carly's strange reaction at the hospital as he walked into the kitchen;"Hi,guys."
"Daddy!"smiled his little girl happy to see her father again;"Why didn't you come home lastnight?"
"They kind of picked up on that when they came downstairs this morning and didn't see your car outside,jack."said brad;"I didn't know what to tell them,so i told them that you'd explain it as soon as you got home."
"It's okay,brad,thanks for looking after things downhere."started he tired and sat down at the table while he looked at his kids;"I should have told you guys this before,but i had hoped that i didn't have to."
"Tell us what,dad,does this have anything to do with mom?"asked j.j. worried;"Did she run off again?"
"Ofcourse not,stupid!"answered his brother angry and punched j.j. against his arm;"Shut up!"
"You shut up!"said he back to parker as he hit him too;"What's the matters with you lately?"
"Stop it,guys,that's enough!"warned jack his boys;"Ofcourse your mother didn't run off because she wouldn't do that to you guys again."
"Hey,guys,why don't you just listen to your dad first before jumping to any conclusions?"said his brother as he looked at the kids and turned back towards jack;"Just tell them the truth,jack!"
"Thanks,brad."started he softly as he looked at his kids;"Your mother isn't away on business or anything,guys,she's in the hospital."
"Why?"asked sage shocked;"Was she in an accident?""
"Kind of."answered her father;"According to the doctor she's gonna be just fine.""
"What happened?"said j.j. just as shocked as his sister;"What kind of accident was she in,dad,when did this happen?"
"Why don't we talk about that later,because you guys have to go to school."answered he quickly,hoping to avoid to tell the kids how carly really ended up in the hospital;"You should all get ready."
"But...""started his son confused;"Why don't you just tell us what happened now?"
"Hey,j.j,your dad is really tired now from staying with your mom at the hospital and all,so why don't we give him a break and let him catch up on some sleep while i get you guys ready for school."said brad quickly and turned towards jack;"Go to bed for a while,jack,i can handle things downhere."
"Thanks,brad,you're a real lifesaver."answered he with a faint smile while he got up and went upstairs;"I mean that."
"I know,i know."smiled his brother;"I'm a great guy."

Later that day Carly was laying in her hospitalbed when gwen walked in and gave her a big hug;"Hi,i'm so glad that they found you again,carly,how are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling fine."said she with a faint smile when she saw the disbelief on gwen's face;"I really am."
"I was so scared when i heard that sam had kidnapped you and i thought that i'd never see you again."started her sister hesitating;"I'm sorry."
"Sorry about what?"asked carly surprised;"It wasn't your fault that i got kidnapped,gwen,that was my own stupid fault because i was too stubborn to listen to my son or my ex who both told me not to get mixed with sam."
"Don't say that!"answered she softly;"You couldn't have known what he was going to do."
"I know that,but if i had listened to them before then sam wouldn't have had the chance to kidnap me."said her sister;"But you still haven't answered my question,so why should you be sorry?"
"After you told us about the doctors beeing wrong and we found out that you'd known about not dying for a while i was beeing too judgemental towards you,carly,i shouldn't have pushed you away and i should have stood by you no matter what."started gwen softly;"I'm sorry and i hope that you can forgive me for beeing so harsh.""
"You had every right to be mad at me just like everybody else and it was a stupid thing to do."said she;"I don't blame you for that,so there's nothing for you to be sorry about it.""
"I wish that i was more like you."answered her sister happy as she gave carly another hug;"I really do."
"More like me?"asked carly suprised;"Do you have any idea how many times i have screwed up in my life and what a mess i have made of things once again,gwen,i'm far from perfect and i'm certainly no role-model."
"You may have made your share of mistakes in your life,but you always find a way to make up for them and you're the most forgiving person that i've ever met,no matter what somebody else does to you.""said she;"Your kids can be proud with a great mom like you,carly,i really mean that!"
"Thanks,gwen,but that's more credit then i deserve because i've hurt my kids so many times and i'm so scared of hurting them again."started her sister with tears in her eyes;"I almost ended up hurting them once again by giving sam the chance to kidnap me and they would have been devasted if anything had happened to me."
"What happened with sam wasn't your fault,carly,you can't blame yourself for that!"said gwen;"It's all over now and i'm sure that jack won't give sam another chance to get anywhere near you again."
"But it's not jack's job to protect me anymore!"answered she with a sad smile;"Do you mind going because i'm a bit tired now."
"Are you okay?"asked her sister worried;"Do you want me to call jack or something?"
"No,please don't call jack!"said carly quickly;"I'm fine,gwen,i'm just tired and that's all."
"Okay,i'll be back tonight."answered she and walked away after giving carly another hug;"It'll all be okay again."

Out at the farm jack had finally woken up after sleeping for hours and had just made himself something to eat when margo walked into the kitchen;"Hi,jack."
"If you're here to tell me how wrong it was of me to stop you from questioning carly then please just turn around and go away because i'm not in the mood for that right now."warned he his friend;"I know that she should be questioned about what happened with sam,but she doesn't need this right now and she's been through enough allready!"
"I know that you're worried about carly and that you want to protect her,but you're not helping her by lying or by getting in our way."started margo slowly;"Do you know what i think that you need?"
"No,i don't,margo,what do i need?"asked her friend annoyed;"Tell me!"
"I think that you need to get your problems sorted out."answered she;"You need to sort out what it is that you want because right now you're saying one thing and doing another!"
"What's that suppose to mean?"said jack surprised;"Are you saying that i'm not doing my job as a cop or something?"
"No,i was talking about what you want with carly!"answered his friend;"You've said that you're through with her,jack,but then when something like this happens then you're suddenly all over her again and you act all protective of her."
"So what?"asked he furious;"Even do we're not together she's still the mother of my kids and i just want to look out for her!"
"No,jack,i think you're lying to me and to yourself because your actions speak louder then your words!"said margo;"If you don't want to be with carly then fine,but you can't go acting like this each time she's in trouble if that's what you want and you need to let her move on too because this must be really confusing for her!"
"You don't know what you're talking about!"answered her friend when gwen walked in;"Hi,gwen,what brings you downhere?"
"I'm worried about carly."started she softly;"I was just at the hospital and even do she was acting as if everything's fine i know that she isn't fine."
"What happened?"asked jack worried and saw margo looking at him with him;"Don't you dare say anything!"
"I think that i just made my point,jack,so it's up to you what you do with it."answered his friend and walked away;"I will talk to carly about what happened with sam tomorrow!"
"No,you won't!"yelled he on after margo and turned back towards gwen;"What did carly say when you were there?"
"She really blames herself for what sam did and when i tried talking to her about it she suddenly asked me to go because she was tired."said gwen;"She didn't want me to call you,but i had to come downhere and talk to you because i'm really worried about her!"
"So am i and i'm glad that you told me about this,gwen,i really am."started her friend slowly as he gave her a hug;"I will go and talk to carly about this,so don't worry."
"Please don't tell her that i told you this because i know she wouldn't like it if she knew."answered she;"She really didn't want you to know."
"I won't tell her,gwen,i promise."said jack;"It'll be okay and i will make sure that nothing bad will happen to your sister again!"

While jack and gwen were talking about carly at the farm she'd just put on her clothes at the hospital and was on her way out of her room when chris walked in;"Where do you think that you're going?"
"Home!"answered carly;"Get out of my way,chris,i mean it!"
"What are you going to do if i don't?"asked he with a faint smile while he saw that carly was holding on to the door in order to stay standing up;"Push me out of the way?"
"This isn't funny!"said his patient angry;"You can't keep me here against my will!"
"You're not well enough to go home yet,carly,you know that and i can't let you go!"started chris slowly as he gently brought her back to bed;"You need bedrest!"
"I can stay in bed at home too!"answered she;"I want to go home!"
"Maybe if you were staying at the farm with jack i'd be willing to let you leave the hospital tomorrow if i'm satisfied with the testresults."said her doctor;"But i can't let you go home to an empty house where there's nobody to look after you."
"No way that i'm staying at the farm!"yelled carly furious;"I'm going home,chris,to my own house!"
"Calm down,carly,you need bedrest,so somebody has to look after you and there's always somebody at the farm!"answered he suprised about her reaction;"Why don't you want to stay at the farm?"
"I just want to go home!"said his patient;"Please just let me go home!"
"I'm sorry,but i can't let you go home yet."started chris worried as he show how worked up carly was getting;"You really need to calm down now because this isn't doing your health any good!"
"I will calm down if you'd just let me go home!"answered she;"I don't want to stay here anymore!"
"I will let you go tomorrow if you agree to stay at the farm with jack."said her doctor;"Either you stay at the farm or you can stay here at the hospital for a little while longer."
"Are you deaf or something?"asked carly angry;"I'm not going to the farm and i'm not going to stay here,chris,i'm going home!""
"No,you're not and if i catch you sneaking out of here again i will get the nurse to restrain you!"warned he his patient as he walked away;"I'll be back in a little while to see if you've calmed down enough to talk about this again."
