I promised a happy ending and i'm going to give it to you all. Not sure how long i will go on with this story, but want to keep going fro now. This is a short chapter, but have to get back into writing it. I will be honest and say i was underwhelmed by the finale. Jake obviously thought he had done as Katie had asked and got Quentin out, but he didn't because they all had to come back...i guess that was the potential for a 2nd series. Now in my mind, Quentin goes back to the hospital and takes Lex with him, they have a bro moment and him and Q hug. Then hopefully Cannerts was able to make a cure and they got out. Just like Katie had wished. Jake will be his Father figure now. And Jake was so willingly to take that responsibility on. Katie would be so proud of him, i just know it. What a heartbreaking but beautiful couple. So touching. Haven't felt like this in a very long time about a couple. In a way i'm glad they aren't getting a 2nd season. Then i can decide what happens to them, and you. We all can come up with our own endings. For now, here's an alternative story for them from my point of you and as i said, i will continue for a while longer and give them the ending i think they always deserved...
Katie was back in the main room when Quentin saw her, his eyes lighting up and ran straight to her.
"No sweet..." she started saying. But it didn't matter, he ran straight into her arms.
"If your out, your ok. I want to hug you" he tells her with force. Her heart filled with love and feeling his small arms wrapped around her, she cant help herself and Kisses the top of his head.
"Well quickly before anyone sees" she whispers with a smile on her face, and starts giving him lots of kisses. She then pulls away. Seeing her boy happy, made her happy. Relief to be alive and with him.
"Jake too?" he asks hopefully looking up at her.
Before Katie could answer she heard him behind her, "No knocking me down bud" Jake enters the room, arms in a flexing position, showing off.
Katie giggles at him and Quentin smiles with Glee at also seeing Jake. This melted her completely. Nobody she had been with ever had this effect on Quentin. It gave her so much hope and happiness, even if it was brief.
"I need to go and see Cannerts" she tells Jake. Realizing she needed to get to the bottom of all of this.
Jake puts his stuff down from the shower and turns to her, "Ok..." he nods, "i'm coming with you" he tells her with authority.
She nods, knowing not to argue with him, he deserves to be there too. She also knows he became very protective over her when it came to Cannerts.
"But you just got back" Quentin tells them deflated.
"I promise we wont be long. Hopefully we will come back and know more about all of this" Katie tells him. Sad to be leaving him again.
Jake watches this moment and speaks, "We cant spend 5 minutes with the kid?" Jake asks, "play a quick round of Quentin's master board?" he adds with a smile.
Katie looks to Jake then to Quentin, a hopeful look on his face. He was right. She had been away from her son for 2 days. Cannerts could wait.
"I knew that name would stick" Quentin smiles and runs to the other side of the room to get it.
Katie turns to Jake, "Your right. Again. God that's got to stop happening"
Jake lets out a chuckle, "Just something you've got to learn Katie" he shrugs, brushing it off.
"We have seriously got to get your ego checked, i mean we are in a hospital after all. You could have a serious medical condition" she tells him with a serious voice while she heads off to the center of the room where Quentin is sat with the board game.
"Nah did that a couple of years ago" he replies, also being serious and going along with it taking a seat on the floor next to her, "Its here to stay. Cant get rid of it"
Both let out a laugh as Quentin rolls the dice to start their game.
