METROPOLIS MEDICAL CENTER
WAITING ROOM
Jack Martha and Jonathan were all sitting around the when Clark came in with Lex and Chloe. "Hey guys." Martha said.
"Hey Mom. Any word?" Clark asked hugging his mom.
"None so far. How was school?" Jonathan asked.
"Fine. Bunch of boring teachers." Chloe said sitting down next to Martha.
" Any word on what Lionel has plan next?" Martha asked.
"I can't figure out what he wants most for me to be Senator or if it was for himself to have more power." Lex said.
"Uncle Jack did Jacey get along with Natasha?" Clark asked.
"Yeah I was wondering how that went over. Natasha seemed the type of woman who didn't take second to anyone." Martha said.
Jack smirked. "Oh she didn't take too kindly to having Jacey around. But she did warm up to her. But that was after a few shouting matches between her and Jace." Jack said.
"Jacey seems the kinda girl who don't take any crap from anybody." Lex said.
"Oh she don't. That was clear one night at a benefit Natasha was throwing. Jacey has a love for cooking as Martha you know. Well at the benefit Jacey didn't really wanna be in the limelight seeing as it was just after she came and stayed with us and her eye was still black and blue. So she was gonna stay in the kitchen with Dorothy. Dorothy had taken to Jacey real quick and most of the time Jacey goes and does most of the cooking with her. It's how I've kept up with my southern food. Well that night Jacey had told me already that she was gonna go and help in the kitchen. I told her it was fine and she stayed there right up until Natasha seen her preparing food and dragged her out. By her bad wrist." Jack said smirking.
"Oh no. Poor Jacey,." Chloe said.
"Yeah. Natasha pulled her out to where I was and said do you know what I caught her doing. The whole time making a scene. Jacey is taking it.." Jack said.
"Did Jacey ever speak up?" Clark asked.
"One time did she ever speak up about Natasha." Jack said.
"And when was that?" Jonathan asked.
'When she caught her making out with one of my then campaign manager. Jacey had to go to the bathroom and found them in the bathroom doing it. Natasha threatened her to keep quiet saying she would go back to her biological father and all that garbage." Jack said.
"Natasha was a mean woman." Martha said.
"Yeah. The night of the debate I had with another guy Jacey had to rewrite a paragraph of my speech cause the campaign manager was so caught up in my wife that he forgot some valuable words." Jack said.
Just then Dr. Sampson came out. "Mr. Jennings would you and your friends care to follow me?" He asked. Jack and the rest of the group stood up and followed him onto an elevator.
"We moved Jacey to a private room. She is doing better and we took the breathing tube out. So she is all clear of that. Just for warning she has no clue that she may never walk again." Sampson said.
"What are her chances?" Jack asked.
"95 she will never walk. 5 she may likely walk with crutches." Sampson said. That hit everyone below the belt. Especially Jack.
4TH FLOOR
They all got off the elevator when Chloe turned to Clark. "I'm gonna go and get started on my story. Ok?" She asked.
"Ok. See ya tomorrow." Clark said.
"Bye guys." Chloe said to everyone making her leave. Dr. Sampson stopped in front of the room door and walked in. Jacey was resting from the trauma of being moved.
"Nancy how is our patient doing?" Dr. Sampson asked.
"Why dontcha ask her yourself?" Jacey said in a very hoarse voice from having no usage of it for a while.
"Someone's awake I see. Good glad you are we need to talk." Dr. Sampson said.
"Am I gonna make it?" Jacey asked.
"Well if you're kidneys heart and Liver don't give out yes." Dr. Sampson said.
"But I won't ever walk will I?" Jacey asked surprising the room.
"No. I'm sorry you probably won't ever walk again. I'm gonna tell you like I told them in the elevator you have 5 chance of walking with assistance. And that would probably be a very long ways down the road." Dr. Sampson said. Steve came in and were quiet about their entrance.
"I'm sorry to lay all this on you guys." Dr. Sampson said.
"Doctor Sampson is there any way I can work to get my legs back?" Jacey asked.
"Physical therapy. But that will only help to a certain extent." He said.
Jacey nodded. "Thank you." She said solemnly.
Dr. Sampson got up. "I'm gonna go and I'll be back in a while to check on your incision. I wanna monitor you for a few more days and make sure the internal bleeding is stopped." He said looking around and leaving the room. Nancy took her leave as well. Jacey closed her eyes and sighed.
"Hey Jacey you wanna know the stories this guy has been telling on you?" Jonathan asked.
"Probably about how I caught Natasha in the bathroom doing his campaign manager." Jacey said.
"Hey how did you know that?" Lex asked.
"Psychic. And psycho." Jacey said shrugging and wincing.
"Do you want some kind of pain medicine?" Steve asked.
"They got me on morphine. So I got the good stuff." Jacey said.
"Guys I hate to do this but visiting hours are almost over." Nancy said with her head in the door.
"We better go. You rest and mind the doctors." Martha said hugging Jacey.
"I will right up until they tell me something I hate then minding goes out the window." Jacey said.
Jonathan smirked. "I know the feeling. When I was in for heart surgery they told me go slow. If I had to go any slower I woulda been sitting still." He said.
"We'll come by tomorrow sometime and check on ya." Martha said ushering Lex and Clark out. Jonathan patted Jack on the shoulder walked out.
Jack walked over and kissed Jacey on the forehead. "Get some rest please. And I'll be back in the morning." Jack said.
"You have that meeting with the governor." Jacey said.
Steve smirked. "Guess I'll come and check on ya kiddo." He said.
"You gotta get Gracie ready for December." Jacey said.
"Well who's gonna check on ya?" Steve asked.
"I will." Came a voice.
