So sad.
Keesha
Jason was finally sleeping.
After ripping apart their bedroom Keesha was able to calm him. He blamed himself for Jake's death.
Keesha blamed Robin.
Jason had been a father the only way he could. Elizabeth refused to allow him to be any more, unless she wanted to be near him.
She looked at her sleeping husband. She sat on the floor with his head lay in her lap. His blonde hair seemed nearly white against her black pants. She wiped the tears that poured from his eyes. Even in his sleep he cried for his only son.
Keesha wanted to hate Liz but from one mother who had lost a child to another her heart bled for the woman. She was still in denial. She believed Lucky and Jason were keeping her son from her. No mother deserved such pain.
"Jason?" Carly's voice seemed so small. Keesha could hear her sorrow.
"Carly?" She whispered. The door opened slowly. Carly's face was streaked with tears.
"Jason." Her voice came out as a sigh. She carefully stepped over the glass and broken furniture.
"He's sleeping." Keesha whispered as Jax came into the room. "Can you get a blanket from the closet?"
He nodded and retrieved a thick comforter. Handing it to Carly she gently placed it on Jason. She thought he looked like a sad little boy with his body curled up in the fetal position and his head resting on Keesha's lap.
"How is he?"
"Broken." Keesha fought tears.
"What can we do?" Jax asked. He remembered what it was like to lose a child. He understood Jason's pain.
When he and Carly had gotten the news from Bobbie he hurt for Liz and Lucky, then Carly told him that Jake was Jason's he was stunned. He had always thought Jason was selfish but for him to walk away from his son, maybe Jax had misjudged him.
"Can you stay?" Keesha asked.
"Yeah."
"You can have the bed."
"You don't want us to help you get him up?" Carly asked.
"No, I don't want to wake him." Keesha whispered.
Carly and Jax cleared the bed. Carly grabbed some extra pillows and Jax arranged them behind Keesha's back trying to make her comfortable.
Carly turned on the radio on the night stand. She remembered Jason always kept it on the easy listening station in case he had the boys and one of them had a bad dream.
If Jake was looking down he would see his father being held by his loving wife; his unofficial God parents lying on the bed holding each other willing their strength to their wrecked friend.
Keesha looked down at her husband and silently prayed for her own father to watch over the young boy.
She smiled as a familiar song came on the radio. Carly began to sing along and within a few seconds Keesha joined her.
Momma gives birth to a little child, He hears a voice as she starts to cry,
Daddy waits, with a patient smile.
They tell him what he's brought into the world,
They all can tell she'll be a daddy's girl.
He looks through the window tears fall from his eyes,
Overwhelmed with the thoughts of the day,
He swears he hears her say
Daddy can you see me? He takes me fishing like I'm one of the guys
Daddy can you hear the words I say?
I've got your hands
Your eyes and your hair
And this thing you call a teddy bear.
I'll do what I can to make you proud,
Daddy can you see me now?
No one can break these ties that bind.
We've got a bond that's precious and dear,
And it's stayed the same through all these years.
Keesha cried silently for all the pain Robin had caused them and vowed she would pay for it.
She pulled her cell phone from her pocket and texted Johnny to come see her first thing in the morning. Jason had already sent men looking for Robin. Keesha would make sure she was punished.
Lucky
He sat on the porch holding his remaining son. Cam cried for hours as Lucky and Gram tried to explain why Jake had to go to heaven. He was a child he didn't understand. Hell, Lucky didn't understand either.
Why was Liz there? Had Robin forced them to the house? Did his son suffer? Was he scared?
Jesus he was losing his mind. He wished he could be like Liz and hide in his grief, but he was still a father and he had to be there for his son.
Robin. He had played with her as a child. When had she lost it? After Stone died, Lucky knew she had never recovered. She latched onto Jason I such a way that made Lucky pause but he never said anything. He wished he had, maybe his son would still be alive.
He had failed. He promised Jason that Jake would be safe but he turned a blind eye to Elizabeth's games.
Forgive me Jake. He thought. He held back his tears.
In the house Gran was still crying. His mother comforted her. Occasionally Luke would come and stand at the door silently waiting for any sign that he was needed. There wasn't one. Lucky just wanted to be with his son.
He closed his eyes as the neighbors turned up their stereo. Mr. Brooks's daughter was getting married and he loved to practice for the father daughter dance.
Lucky let's the tune carry him away.
As I get older and time goes by, Daddy can you see me? I look to the heavens for some kind of sign, Daddy can you see me? Oh I've done all I can to make you proud,
He's got a shoulder if I need to cry,
And when I think that I'm going O.K.,
I look at him and say
Daddy can you hear the words I say?
I've got your hands
Your eyes and your hair
And I still hold on to my teddy bear.
I'll do what I can to make you proud,
Daddy can you see me now?
For you to tell me that I'm doing fine.
And every night when I kneel down to pray,
I wonder if you hear me say
Daddy can you hear the words I say?
My life has changed since you went away
And I need to know if I'm doing O.K.
I've done all I can to make you proud
Daddy can you see me now?
Daddy can you see me now?
Robin
Stupid, stupid girl. All she had to do was give me the baby.
Stupid. Robin paced back and forth in the attic.
It wasn't over. She could still have Jason. She would make him come to her; even if it meant using his bastard to do it.
Liz
"Just give me my baby please! I swear I'll stay away from him. Just give me back my baby." Liz lay on the thin mattress pleading with anyone or anything that would listen to her. There was no answer to her pleas. No one was listening this time. "Please!"
New girl in town
Her father said Jason Morgan would be easy pickings now that his wife and kid were back in town. He would be distracted. He seemed more focused than ever. With that stupid bitch Robin on the loose the entire city was on lock down.
It was effectively closed when Keesha came back but this? She couldn't contact anyone outside the city without being detected.
She didn't like the idea of using a kid to get at her dad but you didn't say no to her father, unless you wanted to take a permanent vacation.
Well, she would wait until he relaxed, if he ever relaxed, then make her move.
The song is Daddy can you see me by Anita Cochran. Remember I own none of the character's, except Gabby, or the back ground.
