Chapter13: Got to have hope.

After hours of crying on the floor, Katie was finally led into Jack's room. She was sitting by his side while he was sleeping. Before she was brought in there she went to the bathroom and took the test. She was still waiting for the results from the nurse.

"Please, Jack wake up. Baby." Katie said while holding his hand securely. His shoulder was fractured, and there was a bullet that was stuck in the spinal bone and the doctor's were afraid of removing it because there was a chance of death.

Katie bent down and laid her head against the bed and close to Jack.

"Baby wake up, please." Katie let the tears fall onto Jack's hand.

"Miss Taylor, there's a call for you." Katie stood up and grabbed the phone. The nurse let her alone to her privacy for the call.

"Hey, how's he doing?"

"Bobby, I'm scared. They put him to sleep, his shoulder is fractured and and-

"And what Katie?"

"There's a bullet, stuck in his spine and they-they

"They what?" Bobby asked.

"They're afraid to take it out because, they think he has a chance of (gulps) dying." She said as she sunk down in the chair starring at Jack.

"Alright, I'm coming up."

"What about the others?"

"I'm coming!" Bobby stated.

"Bu-Hello?" Bobby hung up on her. Katie sighed and clicked off and set the phone on the counter. She sighed and walked over to jack.

"Come on baby, wake up. We still have to get married, please wake up."

She soon fell asleep a few moments later right by Jack's side. Bobby arrived around late evening. He saw the sight of Katie right next to Jack through the window in the door. He cracked it open and startled her.

"He asleep?" He asked. Katie could have sworn she heard a sniff from Bobby. "Yeah." She replied barley above a whisper.

"Miss we have the results." One of the nurse stated walking into the room. Katie stood up and walked out of the room into the hallway to hear the results of her pregnancy test. Bobby was inside starring at his baby brother and soon regretting all the times of him ever making fun of him, Bobby soon glanced outside the door when he heard a gasp. He then saw Katie heading back inside the room.

"What was that?" He asked referring to Katie and the nurse's conversation.

Katie instantly sits down in the chair with her head in her hands.

Bobby saw this and kneeled down "What's wrong?"

Katie lifted her head out of her hands and stared back at Bobby. "I'm pregnant."

Bobby smiled and he stood up along with Katie.

"That's good isn't it?

"Yeah but, what about Jack?" Katie asked looking at Jack lying there in the bed; she couldn't stand the sight of him with all the medical stuff next to him.

"Don't worry, He's going to pull through, you'll be fine." Bobby said while giving her a hug.

"Congratulations." He stated while giving her an older brother securing type of hug.

"Don't touch…..my girl……Bobby." Jack said in a very weak and barley hearing voice. Katie and Bobby instantly turned to Jack. Who had a lighthearted smile towards Katie. Katie grinned and couldn't help the tears that were now falling down her cheeks. She instantly ran over to Jack and gave him a hug.

"I don't know how I would survive without you." Jack smiled when Katie backed up.

"I'm Jack Mercer, you wouldn't be able to survive without me."

"I see your back to being your old cocky self." Katie stated, Bobby snorted seeing his baby brother and sister in law to be.

4 months later….

"Katie you look gorgeous!" Sofi stated looking at Katie who was standing in front of a mirror at the time starring back at herself in a strapless wedding dress.

"I don't know if I'm ready for this." Katie stated sitting down on the stool.

"WHAT? It's your wedding day! Are you kidding me? Come on, move your butt!"

"I'm nervous. I need something for my nerves." Katie stated starting to fidget. Sofi sighed and handed her a SoBE.

"Here, drink this."

Katie smiled finishing up the SoBE.

Few minutes later….

The doors opened, the crowd turned their heads. Katie looked towards the end of the church to find Jack standing there in a tuxedo, Bobby next to him. As the piano started to play the notes she walked down the aisle and she saw the famous smile she fell in love with in high school. She smiled back and saw Jack fidgeting.

She was now standing right in front of Jack smiling back at him, she thought she saw a tear, but who knows? But she knew Jack saw her tears, She was starring right back at Jack in the eyes, and She then drifted off to Bobby who nodded his head approving. She could have sworn behind Bobby she saw Evelyn, smiling at her, wearing a simple white gown. Katie smiled back and returned her gaze to the love of her life. After she said yes, She started to think about her being in High School and how she hated Jack Mercer's guts, and how she fell for him without even knowing. She smiled. Accidentally In Love, that's how you could describe her and Jack's love story. Every couple has their love story and for her and Jack, this was theirs.

5 months later, in the baby ward at the hospital…

"GAH! JACK!" Katie screamed squeezing onto Jack's hands. Jack looked at his wife "Baby, could you lighten the grip?"

"YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING LIGHTEN THE GRIP? I CAN TIGHTEN THIS GRIP; YOU'RE THE REASON WE'RE HERE! GODAMNIT I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!" She screamed as the doctor's told her to push.

"Baby, breath, come on breath."

10 hours later…..

"IT'S COMING I SEE A HEAD!" The doctor exclaimed.
"Honey it's coming!" Jack said excitedly waiting for the arrival of the baby.

"I KNOW IT'S COMING I CAN FELL IT YOU BASTARD!" Katie exclaimed as the excruciating pain made her scream as she gave one last push.

"It's a girl!" The doctor exclaimed. Jack's face brightened up as soon as he turned towards Katie who was now in tears.

"Would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" The doctor asked Jack. Jack nodded as they handed him the scissors. Jack smiled seeing their daughter, being cleaned off and taken care of by the nurses. He instantly went to his wife's side.

"Baby, it's a girl."
"I know." Katie replied with a smile. Jack smiled and gave her a kiss on the head.

"Here she is." The nurse stated putting the baby into Jack's arms. Jack was surprised and smiled down at the blue-eyed baby who was covered in a pink blanket.

"I'm your daddy." Jack stated smiling at his daughter. Katie sniffed seeing Jack's smile. Jack looked over at Katie and smiled, he looked down at their daughter and asked.

"Want to meet your mommy?" Katie smiled as Jack set their new baby girl in her arms.

Just then they saw Bobby, Angel and Jerry walk in the room. They all gathered around the bed and smiled down at the newest Mercer. Sawyer was standing next to Bobby who picked him up and asked.
"Want to me your baby sister?" Sawyer nodded and looked down at the baby in the blanket. Bobby smiled seeing the blue eyes twinkle up at him.

"Want to hold her?" Katie asked Bobby. Bobby as surprised by this as they put the baby into his arms.

"Hey girl, I'm your Uncle Bobby." Bobby said with a smile. Angel was next to hold the baby and then Jerry. Finally the baby was back into Katie's arms, who was Jack's arms.

"This little girl needs a name still." One of the nurses's stated. Everyone looked at Katie, Katie sat there smiling at her new darling daughter and knew that Jack agree with this name.

"Everyone, I want you to meet…Evelyn Mercer." Jack smiled and gave Baby Evelyn and his wife a kiss on their heads, and he then bent down to give Sawyer one. He picked Sawyer up and held him in his arms.

"Hi Evelyn I'm you big brother. I'm going to take care of you, just like how my uncles take care of their brothers." Sawyer stated. All the Mercer boys couldn't help but smile and glace at each other, after the comment that Sawyer Mercer just stated.
