Chapter12: How could this happen to me?

Katie was sitting down on the couch with Sawyer on her right. She stood up and ran for the bathroom making sure no one was in there and she threwup in the toilet. Sofi saw this and shook her head. "That virus back?" She asked as Katie stood up and washed her mouth.

"Yeah, I think so." She stated after drying her mouth off.

She walked down the steps to see Jack standing there leaning against the wall.

"Hey babe." Jack stated with a smile. "Hey." Katie replied groggily

"Your up early." He stated as the two walked outside.

"Speaking of early, what were those errands you were doing so early in the mourning?"

"Nothing." He stated. Katie looked at him and replied. "It must have been something."

"It was nothing, don't worry about it."

"Jack! It was something!"

"No it wasn't!"

"Jack if your going to be lying to me and hiding things from I don't know if I can be in a relationship with you!" Katie exclaimed getting annoyed and pissed.

"I'm not lying to you!" Jack stated. He really didn't want to tell her now.

"Well then your obliviously hiding something from me!"

"Can we just drop this?" He asked.

"No." She stated after just having a thurp. (A throwup burp). Jack sighed and exclaimed.

"Your always like this! Why can't you just listen to me, when I tell you to drop the subject!"

"Well because I want to find out what the fuck you were doing this mourning!"

Jack shifted his hand in his coat pocket and replied.

"God you're so stubborn!"

"Just tell me!"

"Katie drop it! I hate fighting with you!"

"Jack I hate fighting with you too-

"Why don't we just get married then?" Jack asked in a exclaimed voice. Katie stood there starring at him. She opened her mouth and shut it, and then opened it. Like a fish out of water gasping to breathe.

Jack grabbed her hand and pulled her down the steps. He grabbed something out of his coat pocket. Katie stood there with her eyes almost popping out of her head.

"Jack-

"Katelyn Ann Taylor will you marry me?" He asked as he opened the black velvet box. Katie stood there starring back down at the box there was a gold band with a blue topaz in the middle intertwined with the band.

"I know it's nothing special but.." Jack stated looking at her.

"Damnit Jack." Jack smiled seeing her eyes tear up.

"Will you?" He asked.

"DAMN IT AUSSIE JUST SAY YES!" Katie turned her head to see Bobby standing by the door. She laughed as she heard.

"DAMN YOU BOBBY!" Jack exclaimed. Jack then turned his attention to Katie. She smiled and replied.

"Hell Yes." Jack smiled as he slid the ring on her ring finger on her left hand. She shrieked out of enjoyment and he picked her up and the two started to make-out heavily on the front lawn.

"Finally…Damn.."Bobby said as he shut the door.

OoOoOoOoOo Few hours later….

Jack was sitting on the couch with his arm draped over Katie and Sawyer was sitting on his lap.

Jack smiled as he kissed Katie on the head. Katie was starring at the ring. "So is this what you were doing in the mourning?" Jack smiled and nodded his head.

"How do you like it?"

"It's perfect, Jack." Katie stated. Sawyer looked at his mom's hand. "Mommy, where'd you get that? It's pretty!" Sawyer stated. Katie smiled as she looked at Jack.

"Your daddy gave it to me." Sawyer looked at his dad and smiled.

"Jack! Come on Let's go!" Bobby said walking into the living room. Katie looked at him and asked. "Go? Go where?"

"Go to visit Councilman Douglass."

"Jack.."

"Babe, please." Jack stated. Katie looked at Bobby who as grabbing his coat. "Fine, go." Jack smiled before pulling Katie into a hard romantic kiss. Katie smiled and pulled away.

"What was that for?" Jack asked, looking hurt. "I had to do it, or else you'd be staying here instead of going to see the Councilman." She stated with a sly smile. Jack smiled and nodded his head. "Yeah, your right." Katie smiled as she watched him walk out the door.

"Love ya." He said.

"Love you." She stated seeing him leave. "Mommy, daddy won't get hurt will he?" Sawyer asked with a scared look on his face.

"No, sweetie, no." Katie said as she carried Sawyer up to his room for a nap.

Katie was making her way towards the steps until she felt something in her throat and she instantly ran for the bathroom. Once again Sofi found her barfing in the toilet.

"Honey, I don't think this is a virus." Sofi stated. "What do you mean?" Katie asked flushing the toilet.

"I think you maybe pregnant." Sofi stated.
"What I can't be! I've been taking the pill!" Katie stated referring to her birth control.

"Are you sure?" Sofi asked. Katie washed her hands and mouth remembering these past days. She sighed remembering.

"Shit. I missed a day. But that doesn't mean anything!" Katie stated. Sofi looked at her.

"Are you sure?"

"No."

"I suggest you take a test." Katie sighed. "Fine tomorrow, first thing in the mourning I will." Sofi nodded her head.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Sawyer called running into the bathroom.

"What is it sweetie?" Katie asked seeing Sawyer.

"Can we go bowling?" Katie nodded her head.

"Yeah, go grab your gym shoes." Sawyer smiled and ran down to the guest room.

"OH MY GOD!" Sofi shrieked grabbing Katie's left hand.

"He proposed?"

"Yeah, today."

"Oh MY GOD! KATIE! THIS IS AMAZING!" She stated examining the ring. "I know." Sofi let go of her hand and smiled and replied. "You two are perfect for eachother."

"Thanks." Katie stated.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Katie was helping Sawyer push a ball along the floor down the alley. Sawyer smiled seeing the ball roll, roll, roll and roll till it hit the pins.

Katie smiled seeing Sawyer's face. But she soon jumped when she felt someone grab her arm and spun her around.

"Jack? I thought you were going to see the councilman?"

"We did. What are you and Sawyer doing here?"

"Bowling. What are you doing here?"

"Get home."

"No we came to bowl!"

"Jackie!" Bobby called. Jack turned and glanced as Bobby and Angel walked towards the fat headed guy.

"GO HOME!" He exclaimed. Katie gave him a disappointed look and grabbed Sawyer and turned her back on him and headed outside towards her car.

Jack, Bobby, and Angel all came home that night. Jack sighed as he hung his coat up and walked into his room to say sorry to Katie. He looked around as he opened the door but she wasn't in there. "Damnit." He muttered before shutting his door and heading to the guest room.

He peeked in and saw Katie sleeping next to Sawyer. He crept in there and leaned down to his hear.

"Babe I'm sorry. I love you." He stated. He stood back up to see if she will move. Nope, she must have been sleeping. He sighed and walked out of the room and towards his bedroom. He fell flat on his bed starring up at the ceiling.

OoOoooOoOoOoOMourning..

Katie woke up and walked down the steps and saw Sawyer watching Tv. Jack saw Katie and stood up and pulled her outside.

"Babe I'm sorry." Katie just stood there looking past him. "Will you just talk to me?"

"Fine. Hey how you doing?" She said. Jack sighed and put his arms on her shoulders and said.

"I didn't want you and Sawyer to get hurt last night, that's why I wanted you to go home."

"It's a bowling alley, Jack. What could happen in a bowling alley?"

"You don't get it do you?" He asked getting annoyed. Katie sighed and said. "I don't have time for this Jack. I need to go to the store." Jack let go of her and said. "Fine, go." Katie felt bad; she turned to see Jack walking up the steps in his white shirt with black splattered on it. She sighed and walked up the steps.

"Sawyer! Come on! Mommy's going to the store, we can get you some new coloring books!" She called inside the house. She heard Sawyer's feet running through the house. He arrived at the door with a huge smile on his face.

Katie looked inside to see Jack sitting on the couch, She sighed and shook her head.

"Mommy aren't you going to say Bye to Daddy?" Sawyer asked.

"Come on, Sawyer. Daddy is mad right now." Jack watched as his fiancé and son walked out the door to her jeep liberty.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoStore…

Katie was in the store she set the pregnancy test with the coloring books on the counter to be paid for. She was getting some change out of her purse but she dropped her purse at the sudden pain in her heart.

"Mommy! Are you okay?" Sawyer asked. Katie took a deep breath and picked up her purse.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Katie replied, the pain didn't go away. It was a very sharp pain. But she soon felt that something wasn't right. After she paid for the stuff she set Sawyer in his carseat and threw the bag in the back and got into the driver's seat and raced home. Katie felt the stinging in her heart grew, she didn't give a shit if she was running red lights. She knew something wasn't right, she was afraid to find out what though.

Katie made a sharp turn onto the street. "MOMMY! My GOLDFISH FELL!" Sawyer exclaimed at her outrageous driving. She held back tears and looked straight down the street only to find a black van and a man with a black hoodie quickly turning around. Katie soon became confused, frightened, and hurt at the same time. She shifted her view to the Mercer House. She saw a spot of blood on the snow next to JACK! She soon panicked and her breath quickened. She stopped and dove in the passenger seat.

"SAWYER DUCK DOWN!" Sawyer instantly did as his mommy told him to do. Katie ignored the tears and opened the door and jumped out and quickly grabbed a hold of Jack as she avoided the gun shots she set him in the back and quickly slammed the door and jumped back down in the car.

"GO KATIE! GO!" She heard Bobby scream frantically.

"GAHHH!" She heard Jack moan from the pain. Katie's face was now stained with the mascara. She slammed her foot against the gas and purposely ran into of the gunman. She then sped down the street as a bullet broke her window.

"MOMMY!" Sawyer exclaimed.

"GAHHHH! KATIE! GAHHH!" She heard Jack scream.

"MOMMY!"
"SAWYER SHUT UP!" Katie exclaimed. She didn't mean to yell that way towards Sawyer, she was just overwhelmed seeing the love of her life, bleeding all over the back seat of her car, having her family being shot at right now. Having to worry if Jack will survive, from this. She scanned her eyes across the street signs.

"Detroit Hospital. 2 miles north." She stepped on the gas harder. She saw the parking lot of the hospital and she sped into it and quickly grabbed a hold of Jack.

"GAHH! KATIE! KATIEE!" She heard him exclaim. Katie headed for the hospital with Jack in her arms and two medical workers saw her and instantly put Jack onto a gurney.

Sawyer came out of the carseat himself and followed his mom into the hospital. Scared to death.

Katie followed the gurney holding onto Jack's her hands covered in his blood.

"GAHH! KATIEE!" She heard Jack say again. "Jack, you'll be alright. Your in a hospital now, they're going to take care of you alright. It'll be okay." She stated through fits of raging tears.

"Ma-am we're sorry but your going to have to sit in the waiting area, we can't have you back here."

"He's my husband!" She exclaimed.

"Ma-am this is for hospital personal only. I'm sorry!"

"NO SORRY MY ASS! THAT'S MY HUSBAND IN THERE GOD DAMNIT! I HAVE TO GO IN THERE! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" She screamed causing all the medical staff workers to turn their heads and look at her. The man she was standing in front of beckoned two workers over who picked her up and took her to the waiting lounge. After she stopped fighting to break free, she sat in a chair and broke down in tears even more. A nurse saw her son standing there looking scared he had no idea what the hell was going on. She grabbed his hand and led him to the kids room. Katie set her head in her bloody hands crying hysterically. "Ma'am if you come with me we can get you washed-

"NO! LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" She exclaimed to the worker as he instantly let go of her arm.

The worker backed away and walked out of the room leaving Katie in there all alone. She sat there crying. Through fits of crying she looked up and said.

"God Please don't let him leave me! I beg you please don't take him away from me! I NEED HIM! PLEASE YOU CAN'T TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME!" She then broke down into more tears. She sat there waiting in the room, to hear something, anything about Jack. She just kept praying to God that he didn't take Jack away from her. Nurses walked past seeing Katie crying her eyes afraid that she would become sick by how upset she was over this. Katie soon faltered onto the floor still crying and praying to God.
