I use a good song to bring this scene to life. I believe that the power of music is a wonderful tool. I hope you like it. I happen to think this song is very fitting and lovely.

Jack rushed her to the hospital. All the while reassuring her that everything was going to be ok, while not really believing it himself. Even though he was trying to be strong for Janet, he was thinking the worst himself.

To himself "Why does everything have to be so difficult for us? Don't we deserve a happily ever after without all this drama? I hope that Janet and the baby are going to be ok. I know that we can make it. We just have a few bumps to go past and then we can get on with our lives and finally be happy. We need a happy ending, we deserve a happy ending." To fill the silence Jack snaps on the radio. As he does the song "I'd rather" by Luther Vandross comes on the radio. It seems to speak directly to them and fits with everything they have been going thru lately.

I thought sometime alone
was what we really needed
you said this time would hurt more than it helps
but I couldn't see that
I thought it was the end
of a beautiful story
and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone (alone)
and I tried to find
out if this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone
else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by
myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah

And then I met someone
and thought she could replace you
we got a long just fine
we wasted time because she was not you
we had a lot of fun
though we knew we were faking
love was not impressed with our connection they were all lies,
all lies
so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone
else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by
myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
who holds my heart

I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you,
I can only prove the things I say with time,
please be mine,

I'd rather have bad times with (please be mine) you,
than good times with someone else (I know)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (anytime),
than safe and warm by myself (so sure baby)
I'd rather have hard times to gether,
than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart (my heart)

I'd rather have bad times with you (surely),
than good times with someone else (surely)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (oh yeah),
than safe and warm by myself (all by myself)
I'd rather have hard times together,
than to have it easy apart (you know it)
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoooo...who holds my heart

They reached the hospital as the song ended. Both had tears in their eyes as Janet was wheeled into the hospital. Jack had to stay in the waiting room as they rushed Janet back into the emergency room. Jack was not a man that would normally pray, but he suddenly found himself in the hospital chapel. Kneeling in a pew he said a brief and heart felt prayer.

"I don't even know if I have a right to be here. I have never talked to you before. Please keep Janet and our baby safe. I love them so much. I don't know what I would do without Janet. I would give my life for her. She means everything to me. Please." With that Jack lowered his head and did something that he never thought he would do, he cried and let the tears of sorrow fall down his cheeks.
