Chapter number 5. Take a chill pill girl.

When Martha got home after her argument with Alf she was more stressed that ever. She still didn't see where he was coming from or why he couldn't just except her decision.

"Hey"Jack greeted her "You look like you just had another argument".

"Well, how did you guess" Martha said stressed yet in some ways sarcastically.

"Martha if he can't except the way things are then that's his problem, ok. You don't need to worry about him, he's only one person, everyone else so far is happy for you, even Lucas changed his tune" Jack comforted her.

"Yeah I guess so. But it's still hard, I always looked up to him so much".

"yeah well he's not good enough for you, if anyone should be looking up to anyone he should be looking up to you, your not the one who's being heartless in this situation. Anyway what happened to that beautiful smile of yours?" Martha smiled slightly but a split second later it disappeared again. "Oh come on I know you can do better than that" Jack teased "anyway how about I go and run you a nice hot bubble bath".

"Ow, I like the sound of that" Martha replied smiling and leaning forward to plant a light kiss on his lips.

"Ah now there's that beautiful smile I was talking about" Jack said smiling back at her.

Back at the apartment Alf was still lying on the floor when Morag walked in. "Alfred, I think you should take a look at this" she said holding a file in her hand.

"Alf" She called out again. Then she looked around a bit more and saw him on the floor. "Alf, Alf can you hear me?" she said shaking his arm. He didn't move though so Morag rushed to the phone and called an ambulance.

"Hey how are you felling now?" Jack asked Martha as she walked into the lounge room after her bath.

"Much better, thanks to you" She told him walking over to him and sitting on his lap, beginning to kiss him on the neck.

"How's our baby doing?"

"good, she's having a bit of a work out" Martha said placing Jacks hands on the sides of her stomach.

"She?" Jack asked confused.

"Oh, I did it again, I keep thinking it's a girl".

"Well maybe it is then, they say nobody knows a child as well as it's mother".

"Yeah. But you better promise me that if it's a boy there is no way your telling him that I thought he was a girl, ok".

"Alright" Jack answered her. There was a bit of silence for a while and Jack and Martha were in each others arms just enjoying each others company, it had been a very long time since they'd been so relaxed. But the real world came back and hit them hard when Martha's cell phone rang.

"Hello" Martha answered the call. "Oh, hi auntie Morag. He's what? Oh my Gosh, Yeah let me know when you hear anything else". Martha hung up her phone and burst into tears.

"Babe what's wrong?" Jack asked.

"Granddad had a heart attack and he's in hospital" Martha sobbed.

"Martha it's going to be ok" he said holding her close.

"What if it's not Jack, what if he dies thinking I want him to go to hell".

A few minutes passed and the only sound that could be heard was Martha's crying. Then Jack heard another sound. "Ah, ow, Jack, Help me" Martha said struggling to breath.

"What's wrong?"

"It's the baby Jack, it's the baby" she said holding her stomach.

Next time:

Will Alf survive?

Will Martha and the baby be ok?
