Have you heard of the word that will stop us going wrong?

Well, the time is near and the word you'll hear

When you get things in perspective.

Spread the news and help the word go round.

It had been more than two weeks since Jackie was attacked. She was now home while Heather was able to be successfully transferred to another hospital. She still couldn't walk and had to be transported back and forth by a wheel chair. What was worst was the fact that she refused to go see Heather. She didn't want anything to do with the baby at all.

Hyde had tried to reason with her but it didn't work. She would start to cry over having to go the hospital with him. He at first thought it was because she didn't want to have to see Heather in N.I.C.U; but he soon began to realize that was not the case at all. He figured that it was because she was attacked at the hospital. He thought that it was because she didn't feel safe there. He hoped that was the case otherwise they would have a lot more problems then just going to the hospital.



"Hey Jackie, the doctor said that we can take Heather home in about three weeks. Isn't that great." He said.

"I don't want her. They can keep her." Jackie said.

That's when Hyde realized that there was much more to going to the hospital and seeing Heather. She really didn't want to see her new baby girl. The question was why. Why wouldn't she want to see her precious baby girl? He knew that Jackie hadn't wanted a baby, especially a girl, for so long. So why was she acting like the baby didn't matter to her anymore.





Lucas sat at home smoking a cigarette and reading the newspaper. It was cold December day out and he didn't feel like going out. He hadn't seen Jackie since she blurted out the secret that Heather was not Hyde's daughter. The fact was that this was the second time that she had been raped. Hyde thought that she didn't know who her attacker was but he knew deep down that Jackie knew who it was. He also thought that it was someone close to her and Hyde. If that were the case then it could be virtually anyone. After Abby was caught by Jackie and Hyde, the town quickly embraced them. The Horton's and the Brady's called them town heroes. So whoever raped Jackie twice was had to be a friend. They just had to be; that would explain why Jackie wouldn't come out of her house or see anyone. Hyde was a smart guy but he was overlooking this fact. Maybe it was because he was in denial that a friend would do this to Jackie. Lucas got up from his couch and dialed the phone.



"Hello?" Hyde answered the phone.

"Hey this is Lucas." He said.

"Hey what's up?" He said.

"Well I was wondering what you guys were up to." He said.

"Well, I'm going to the hospital and Jackie's going to stay here again." Hyde said.

"Why isn't she going?" He asked.

"Well I thought that it was because she was afraid of hospitals but now I feel that there is something else that is bothering her." He said.

"Like what?" He asked.

"I don't know, why don't you tell me." He replied.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I mean I think that you know something and you're not telling me what it is." He said.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He replied.

"Well I'm having a bit of trouble believing that." He said.

"Why are you having trouble believing me?" He asked.

"Well for the fact that I think that Jackie told you something when you walked in on her by the window." He said.

"Why would you think that?" He asked.

"Well I was up last night and I heard Jackie mumbling to herself about something; she said your name and she said that you knew all about it. My question to you is what do you know Lucas?" He asked.

"I don't know anything." Lucas said.

"Lucas it's not going to help Jackie if you keep whatever you know a secret. Did she say who it was; does she know who it was, is that what she said?" He asked.

"No that's not what she said." He said.

"So she did say something to you." He said.

"I didn't say that she said anything; did I?" He asked him.

"Actually you did; now tell me what it is?" Hyde said.

"You're not going to like it how but..."

"Oh hold on a second the door bell just rang." Hyde said.

"Yeah sure okay whatever." He said.







Hyde went over to the door and answered it outside there was a lady and a man.

"Can I help you?" Hyde asked.

"Are you Mr. Steven Hyde?" The lady asked.

"Yes I am." He said.

"I have these court papers to serve you with Mr. Hyde." The lady said.

"Court papers for what?" He asked.

"They're for the preliminary custody trial over Zack Brady." She said.

"Okay thanks." He said.

"The Preliminary trail starts tomorrow." She said.





Hyde closed the door and got back on the phone with Lucas.

"Lucas this is going to have to wait until tomorrow. I just got papers from the Salem court. Bo Brady is going to try and win custody over Zack. Lucas this can wait until tomorrow right." He asked.

"Yes it can." Lucas said.

He hung up the phone and began to read over the papers.



"I'll tell you what I told Lucas." Jackie said.

"Jackie I didn't know that you were in here." He said.

"Do you want to know?" She asked.

"Yes I do." Please tell me." He asked.

"I told him that Heather is not...never mind I can't." She said.

"Jackie come on and tell me." He said.

"I can't." She said.

"Why not?" He asked.

"You won't look at me the same if I do." She said.

"Yes I will. I'll always love you no matter what." He said.

"Are you sure about that?" She asked.

"Yes I'm sure." He said.

"Well it's about Heather." She said.

"What about Heather?" He asked.

"Heather is not your..."



The end until next time that is. :)
