chapter 26...
Lily was going over some papers in the study when holden came in;"There was a fire at metro."
"What?"asked his wife shocked as she jumped up;"Are you serious,holden,what happened and did anybody get hurt?"
"The only one who was there that early was carly and she inhaled some smoke,but other then that she's fine and they took her to the hospital for a check-up."answered he;"Nobody knows what really happened yet,but jack thinks that somebody set the club on fire and it seems that he found carly locked up in the storage-room."
"Oh,my god."said lily in shock;"What was jack doing there?"
"He wanted to surprise carly with an early lunch and it's a good thing that he did,because she was all alone there and if he hadn't been there she probaly wouldn't have been so lucky."started her husband;"It looks like there really is somebody out to get carly,so it's probaly a good idea if you and doug went to have a talk with margo because who knows what will happen next time."
At the hospital jack was sitting next to carly's bed,watching her sleep,as he held her hand when parker came in with his brother;"Hey,guys,where's sage?"
"She's still in school and uncle brad will pick her up later."said parker;"How is mom?"
"She'll be fine,parker,she just inhaled some smoke,but that's all."answered his step-dad;"The doctors want to keep her here for one night just to make sure of that."
"What about tomorrow then?"asked he surprised;"It's your weddingday."
"We'll figure something out,but right now the most important thing is that your mother is okay."started jack softly;"That's all i care about right now."
"Is the baby okay too?"said his other son worried;"Why is mom still asleep,dad,shouldn't she be awake or something?"
"Your mother passed out when i finally found her,but she'll probaly wake up soon enough and the baby is fine,j.j."answered he;"Why don't you guys go out to the farm for a while and i'll pick you up later or your uncle can take you home."
"Is there anything that we can do?"asked j.j;"Is everything set for tomorrow?"
"No,everything's allready set."said his stepfather with a faint smile while the boys walked away just as carly began to wake up as they closed the door behind them;"Hey,honey,how are you feeling?"
"My throat hurts a bit."started she softly;"The fire..."
"It's okay,carly,you're okay and no harm was done."answered jack as he gently kissed her;"The doctors just wanna keep you here overnight to make sure of that."
"I thought i was gonna die,jack,i couldn't get out of there and there was so much smoke and i could smell the fire and feel the heat."said his fiancee upset and put her hands on her stomach;"The baby..."
"The baby is fine too and so are you."answered he;"It's over now and i'm not gonna let anything happen to you again."
"G-man is on the case."started carly with a faint smile as she was drifting off to sleep again.
"You'd better believe it!"said her husband-to-be and kissed her;"Always and forever."
