Part 4!

i know it's been a long time since i've posted so...let's recap shall we…

"Doctor what's happening? Is she ok?" Jo asked frantically.

"I'm sorry Jo. We've tried everything. She is in a very critical condition and because her blood type is so rare we may not be able to find a donor."

"What about my parents? Surely their blood type would…"

"I'm sorry Jo. None of your blood types match hers. There is nothing we can do."

"What?" Jo cried. She closed her eyes and then she burst into tears.

"Is there anyone else you can think of who might have the same blood type as Isabelle?"

"No." Jo replied. "We've tried everyone." She buried her head in Jerry's shoulder.

"Jo we haven't tried everyone." Jerry said after a few moments. "There is…well there is Izzy's father." He told her.

"No. No we cant." Jo cried. "He doesn't even know about her he thinks I had a miscarriage. We can't do it Jerry."

"We have to Jo. It's the only chance."

"We have put her on the donor list but there's a possibility we wont find a donor in time." The doctor told her. "This disease is very severe. The only way we can cure it is a bone marrow transplant."

"Alright." Jo replied. "I'll talk to him."

"Jo this is the only way we can keep her alive." Jerry looked into her eyes. "I know you wouldn't want to lose her. None of us want to lose her."

"Ok. I'll do it. Will she last for a few weeks?" Jo asked the doctor.

"We'll do everything we can."

"Thanks." Jo replied. "I'll go home and call him."

"I'll drive you." Jerry offered.

"No. You need to stay and be with her. She needs you more than I do."

"Are you sure?"

"Stay with her." Jo said.

"I love you." He told her and he gave her a kiss.

"I love you." She whispered and the doctor led her away.

"Hello Mouth Thomas police station Constable O'Rourke speaking." Kelly answered the phone.

"Hi." Jo said hoarsely. "I was wondering if I could speak to Constable Jones…

Three weeks later…

"Hello Mouth Thomas police station Constable O'Rourke speaking." Kelly answered the phone.

"Hi." Jo said hoarsely. "I was wondering if I could speak to Constable Jones…"

"Ah yeah I'll just get him for you." Kelly replied. Jo breathed deeply. She could feel her heart starting to pump harder and faster. "Jonesy!" She heard Kelly call. "Phone for you."

"Thanks Kell." Kelly placed Jo on hold and Jonesy picked up the other phone.

"Hello Constable Jones speaking what can I do for you?"

Jo stayed silent. Hearing his voice again made her burst into tears every time she called.

"Hello?" Jonesy asked. "Who's there?"

Jo hung up the phone.

"Who was it?" Kelly asked.

"It was another one of those crank calls. Only this time there was someone crying." He replied. "I'm getting sick of this. Did she give you a name?"

"No. Just said she wanted to speak to you."

"Well next time she calls make sure you get a name please."

"Okay." Kelly replied.

"Thanks." Jonesy smiled, picked up some files, then walked into PJ & Amy's office where Amy was sitting at the desk sorting through some papers.

"Hey Amy. I've got those files for you."

"Thanks. Just put them in that pile. I'll get to them eventually." Amy smiled. " So how are you?"

"I'm actually quite confused. I keep getting these crank calls. She calls, asks for me then hangs up before she says anything."

"Do you have any idea who it could be?"

"No. I have no idea. But Kelly said she sounded really upset, like she was crying or something."

"And she asks for you every time?"

"Yeah. That's what I don't get."

"Do you know anyone that could be in trouble? Anyone at all?"

"No. I really can't think of anyone."

"Well that's weird. Are you sure there's nobody from your past that would need your help for anything?"

"Yeah. Everyone I know is perfectly fine as far as I know."

"How long have the calls been going on?'

"About three weeks now."

"Wow. That is weird."

"Tell me about it. So anyway are you and PJ still up for that double date with Susie and I?"

"Yeah. As far as I know we are."

"It's really getting serious with you guys isn't it?"

"Yeah. But I'm a bit worried."

"Why's that?'

"Well ever since he got back from Adelaide he's been acting really weird. He hasn't proposed yet and before he left he was talking about it. I thought he was going to propose."

"Well do you want him to?"

"I'm not sure. I mean I love him so much and after everything we've been through together…I would have thought we would be engaged by now."

"It's nothing to worry about Amy. I'm sure he has his reasons. I mean he's probably just scared of losing you. The first time he proposed his fiancée died a few days after. And as soon as he got serious with Jo she left him."

"But I'm not going to leave him."

"He knows that Amy. He's just too scared. Wouldn't you be scared too if all that stuff happened to you?"

"I guess. Maybe I should talk to him. Convince him I'm not going anywhere."

"Great idea."

"Jonesy!" They heard a call from the main office. "Someone here to see you."

"I'd better go."

"Yeah."

"Don't forget to talk to PJ. Tell him what you just told me."

"Thanks Jonesy." Amy smiled and he left the office.

"Who is it?" Jonesy asked as he walked through towards the front room.

"Not sure. She says she's some social worker or something."

"Great. What have I done now?" He laughed and walked through to the front room where a blonde woman was standing.

"Can I help you?"

"Constable Jones?"

"Ah it's Senior Constable actually. What can I do for you?"

"My name is Lisa Dylan. I work at the Women's and Children's Hospital in South Australia."

"What brings you here?"

"Well you see there's been an accident. We have your daughter in the ICU and she's in a really bad state. She needs an urgent blood transfusion and it appears you're the only one who has the same blood type."

"What? But I don't have a daughter."

"Are you sure? Mrs Madder says that you are her biological father."

"Madder? I don't know anyone by the name Madder."

"Oh sorry. She said you probably wouldn't. Ah…her maiden name is…Parrish."

"P…Parrish?" He placed a hand on the counter to stop himself from falling over.

"I'm afraid that without your help that little girl could die."

"What? You…you expect me to go over to Adelaide and give some of my blood to a child that I don't even know? I'm sorry but you've got the wrong person." He turned and walked back into the office.

Three days later back at the hospital…

"I'm sorry Jo…he said no."

"No... This isn't fair. Why did this have to happen to my little girl? She never did anything wrong." Jo collapsed into Jerry's arms.

"It's okay baby. She'll be all right. We'll find a donor…wont we doctor?" He looked at the doctor.

"I'm sorry. There were no donors on the list with that blood type. I'm afraid she wont make it through."

"No this can't be right…there's got to be some way…"

"I'm sorry." She bowed her head. Jo burst into hysteric tears once again.

"Can I at least say goodbye?"

"There's no need to say goodbye." Jo turned her head and when she saw where the voice had come from she burst into tears once more.

"Jonesy." She sobbed. "You came."

"I didn't come for you. I came for the girl. And I'm only doing this because there is no way I could live with myself if I let a little girl die."

"Thankyou." She whispered.

"Like I said I'm not doing this for you." He followed the doctor away from Jo who was still crying.

"She's stable." Dr Dylan smiled as she walked out of the operating room.

"Oh thank god!" Jo cried. "Is she going to be alright?"

"We just have to wait and see. The transplant went fine and both patients are doing well. Mr Jones should be awake soon and Izzy not long after that."

"Oh thank god. Can we see her?"

"She's in recovery so only one visitor allowed at a time."

"You go. I'll stay here. I need to talk to Jonesy."

"Jo…she'll want to see you."

"I'll be in there soon. I just need to talk to him face to face."

"Okay. I'll tell her you'll be there to see her soon."

"Thanks." She kissed Jerry lightly before walking towards the room where Jonesy was sitting.

"Hey." Jo said when she walked in. "Thankyou. For what you did."

"I didn't do it for you."

"I know. Does Susie know why you're here?"

"Yes. I wasn't going to lie to my wife. Lies lead to bad stuff Jo. You should know that." He hissed.

"Oh. Look I'm really sorry. I would have told you but…I didn't want to hurt you or Susie. You were my best friends."

"Were being the operative word there." He snapped. "What you did was unforgivable Jo and I'm never going to forget it."

"Do you want to see her…before you go?"

"Why would I?"

"She's your daughter…I just thought you'd want to…"

"Well you thought wrong Jo. The sooner I get out of this place the better." He snarled at her and she backed away. She took one look at his face and she ran from the room in tears.

Well it's short but hey you asked for a fic with Jo in it…so here it is lol…ok so please give feedback…you know you want to! The more feedback, the quicker the next part gets posted.
