A/N : Hey y'all, thanks so much for the reviews! I got a ton of positive reviews on the last chapter which made me happy because I wasn't sure how this story was going. I also just want to apologize, after reading Coralsue3's review I realized how wrong my whole description of the miscarriage scene was. I really didn't know how it works and the internet was really confusing so I just kind of used stuff I had seen on Tv. I can tell now that described it wrong so I'm sorry, basically long story short she lost the baby. Now I have a lot of direction for this story and I'm going to try to write lots of chapters before I have to go back to school on Monday. So I also just want to say that this Jerry that I'm envisioning is 17 years old and is taller and a little bit older than the actor who played him on T.V. Okay so enough of my ramblings . Hope you enjoy this chapter and don't forget to review.

Soon they arrived at the hospital and Jerry pulled the girls into his arms. The second he had walked out of the car the reporters began to scream questions at them while flashes filled the sky. Both of the girls seem terrified of the mobs of reporters as they each buried their heads in his shoulders. He could hear Regan whisper "Fairy I'm scared … why they are yelling at me?" she asked
"Oh their not yelling at you Reg their just playing a game" he said cringing at how stupid that sounded
"I don't like this game" she complained
"I know Reg , it will be over in a second" he reassured as they made it to the huge doors of the hospital. Soon they had gotten inside and were heading to find Olivia. After Lilly began to squirm he put her down letting her walk with him. To tell the truth he really knew nothing about little kids. Growing up with no siblings and no family e never had experiences with children. This was especially true when he got to boarding school. The youngest kids you ever saw there were 8 years old which is young but not as young as these kids. He had seen these kids before but he had never spent large amounts of time with them. Sure they were related but they were so different from him. Although they had different skin, and different age if Fitz died they would have one thing in common being raised by a single parent. Then again he wasn't raised by a single parent, he was raised by himself. He thought about the kind of life these kids would live if Fitz died, at least they would know that they hadn't killed him, he on the other hand would never be afforded that luxury. Soon they had arrived at Olivia's hospital room where she was lying on her side with a glazed over look in her eyes.
"Maaaaammmmmaaaaa!"Lilly squealed as she ran towards her mother trying to climb up onto the bed. Liv turned for a second when she heard her little girl but she didn't reach out to help her up. As the little girl struggled Jerry quickly picked her up putting her on the bed with Regan. As the little girls climbed all over her she didn't acknowledge them. IT was like she was in some grief stricken other world.
"Hey Liv, how you doing?" he asked
"Why are they here?" she asked finally looking at him
"The kids? I don't know, I thought you'd like to see them" he admitted
"Kid's shouldn't visit their parents in the hospital… you shouldn't have brought them with you"
"I'm sorry I thought ….."
"You thought that it was okay to let them sedate me? You thought it was okay for me to be sleeping while my husband is in a coma …. How sick are you? Sick enough to try to kill your dad?"
"What the hell are you talking about? You can't seriously think I did this."
"You hate him more than anything … he dies and your free … you would get everything you ever wanted"
"I would get sent to federal prison , I would lose my freedom , I would loose and he would win and I will never give him the satisfaction of that so to answer your question no I didn't kill him" he said forcefully
"Fine…" she said before turning away from him. He could see that her eyes were filling with tears. Soon she was lying there with silent tears running down her face. He realized that she was not in the mood to see the kids right now. He took them out to the hall and took them to a vending machine. Luckily the vending machine accepted a credit card because all he had was his credit card and then a bunch of 100's. After he bought the girls tons and tons of candy he began to regret it. Within 10 minutes they had a massive sugar rush and were chasing each other around there room. Every time he caught them they would manage to get away. Soon he was exhausted trying to control these crazy toddlers. After 30 minutes they finally crashed from their sugar high. As he laid the girls down on a sofa he covered them with his sweatshirt. As he watched them sleep he hoped for the first time that Fitz didn't die , it was clear that his kids needed him.

3 days later:
It had been 3 days since Fitz had been shot and with every day it seemed like he was slipping farther away. Jerry had stayed in DC because it was clear he was needed to hold the whole family together, Olivia had slipped into a depressed ghostlike state. She refused to leave the hospital and would often climb into Fitz's bed and just lie there for hours. He would go to the hospital each day to check on her and Fitz. It was clear that she was struggling and there was nothing that he could do. Over the past week he had gotten closer to the kids, who he actually enjoyed spending time with. He would hang out with them, playing games and watching movies and stuff. He would give them their nightly baths and then wake them up in the morning. They would often fall asleep in his bed after SpongeBob marathons. He loved hanging out with the kids, they were sweet and it wasn't their fault that he and Fitz hated each other.
