Chapter number 11. The final show down
"So where do you want me to start?" Gypsy asked.
"You can start with how you know Mumma Rose" Jack told her.
"Well she's my sister who used to be called Kelly" Gypsy started. "We grew up together on our farm in Tasmania called Heaven sent that our mother owned".
"How's all this relative to the believers?"
"You'll see, just hear me out ok".
"Alright, but try and make it quick"
"Ok, I'll try. Anyway when Kelly was eighteen she married some guy called Joel and they had there first child which was Jonah. Not long after Jonah was born Joel died and Kelly didn't cope very well, after a while she started coming up with all these crazy beliefs that Joel was taken away from her for a reason and that the child he had left her with would be the farther of a divine being. We were all getting worried about her and about a year later my mother handed heaven sent down to me" Gypsy explained, sighing before she continued. "That's when Kelly really started to go crazy, she started having panic attacks saying that heaven sent was supposed to be handed down to her, that she was some divine being and that heaven sent would be the place where the next divine being would be born, and then, one day she just left, she took a lot of the people from our farm and brainwashed them so that they couldn't remember us, even Charity couldn't remember me, she was my best friend".
"So, is that where the believers all started?" Jack asked.
"Yeah well kind of, it's not the first name they've called them selves, everytime the so called chosen one finds out the truth about them they run away and change there names so that no one can track them down".
"Ok is there anything else we should know about them that you can tell us?"
"Not that I can think of right now" Gypsy said shaking her head.
"Ok, thank you, we won't waste anymore of your time for now. If theres anything else that comes to your mind that we should know then please call us and let us know".
"Ok, I will" Gypsy said before leaving out the door with Jack and another officer behind her as Tash came racing though the door.
"Jack" She started.
"Wow, calm down, don't worry Lilly's here and she's fine" Jack reassured her
"Yeah I know, Martha told me" Tash said still catching her breath. "It's Martha, she's gone into labor".
"What? But it's to early" Jack exclaimed.
"Yeah I know, she's down at the hospital, I just came from there".
"Well is she alright? And what about the baby?"
"I don't know, they didn't tell us much, but she did say she wanted you there".
"Ok, I'll just let someone else know I'm going and I'll get Lilly on the way ok".
"Ok".
Lucas sat on the beach, the wind ruffled his blond hair and his mind was far way to a place where him and Maddie were happy together, a place where no one could come between them, he'd been sitting there lost for hours, he didn't feel like doing anything.
"Lucas" Maddie's voice called softly from behind him, interrupting his thoughts. "Lucas I'm sorry for not hearing you out this morning, Cassie told me everything about the dare" Maddie said sitting down on the sand next to him.
"That's ok" Lucas answered. "It's not your fault, I should of made a bigger effort to let you know how much I love you in the last few weeks".
"I probably should of too".
"Maddie I know we've got a lot of work to do to get back to the way we were before we started arguing, but will you still be my girlfriend?"
Maddie smiled and nodded her head. "Yes, I love you".
"I love you too" Lucas answered, his smile mirroring hers, the place where they would be happy wasn't far away, it was right here. Lucas wrapped his arms around Maddie and kissed her on the lips lovingly and Maddie who was over the moon returned the kiss passionately.
"Where's Martha?" Jack asked impatiently as he reached the desk of the hospital with Tasha and Lilly close behind him.
"She's in room fifteen just down the hall" the lady at the desk answered pointing to the hallway to the left.
"Thanks" Jack said quickly before running down the hallway to Martha's room and opened the door where a doctor and two nurses was with Martha.
"I'm sorry but were going to have to ask everyone except the father to leave" The nurse instructed.
"Ok, I'll wait outside" Tash answered closing the door quietly behind her and making her way to the waiting room where Robbie was.
"Martha are you alright?" Jack asked hurrying to her bedside.
"I think so" Martha told him quickly between deep breaths, squeezing his hand tightly while she pushed.
"Hey" Tash greeted Robbie and sat down next to him in the waiting room of the hospital.
"Hey, this must be Lilly".
"Yes" Tash answered passing Lilly to Robbie. "Lilly this is your knew daddy".
"Hey little one" Robbie said taking Lilly in his arms, she looked so much like her mother, nothing like Jonah (which was a good thing). "She's beautiful" Robbie exclaimed putting his arm around Tash and they sat there looking like a little family.
"Yeah, she is. I missed her so much. I know I'm supposed to be happy, but I can't stop worrying about Martha, I mean I just got my baby back and she could be about to lose hers".
"Yeah I know" Robbie comforted her holding her close in the arm that was around her.
Over at the Jail in Yabbie Creek Mumma Rose and Jonah were in a cell together while they waited for there sentence. "Jonah" Mumma Rose started.
"Yes Mumma"
"I want to end it now"
"Mumma we talked about this before, ending your life won't solve anything".
"Yes it will Jonah, it's ether that or stay in here for a very long time".
"They haven't even sentenced you yet".
"I know, but I know that they think I'm guilty".
"Ok one more push" the doctor instructed Martha. "On three. One, two, three, push".
"ah, I'm glad that's over, I'm so exhausted" Martha sighed in relief.
"Well you did a good job hiding it" Jack said kissing her lightly on the head.
"So is Aaron going to be ok?" Martha asked.
"Yes, he'll be fine, we'll have to keep him here for a week or two though because of how early he was born, but he's a very healthy boy" The doctor explained handing Aaron to Martha and Jack. "I'll leave you three alone for a while and I'll be back later to run some common tests".
"Ok, thanks" Martha answered before he left the room. The next few hours were filled with happiness and laughter, Robbie and Tash had come in with Lilly and Martha and Jack were playing with little Aaron until five minutes ago when the nurse had taken him to the nursery.
"Babe, I'm just going to pop home for a minute to get some things, do you need anything?" Jack asked getting up of the bed where he had been sitting next to her.
"Yeah, just my pillow and the magazine I was reading this morning off the coffee table".
"Ok, I'll be back later" Jack told her kissing her on the fore head before leaving.
"We'd better go too, Lilly's starting to get restless" Tash said.
"Ok, bye".
Tash and Robbie then left the room with Jack and started talking as the left the front door of the hospital, then Jack's phone began to ring. "Hello Jack Holden. Really when? Ok, ok, I'll be there later. Bye" Jack hung up the phone and turned to Robbie and Tash.
"What's wrong?" Tash asked.
"I just got a call from the station and they said that Jonah and Mumma Rose were found dead in there jail cell".
"Oh my goodness, so they killed themselves?"
"Yeah that's what it sounds like".
"What about the others? What's going to happen to them?" Robbie butted in.
"Their being taken to a detention center further into state" Jack answered. "Look I'd better get going".
"Ok, see you later" Robbie answered.
"Yeah bye" Jack replied back.
"Well I guess it's not that bad" Tash commented as jack drove away. "Now we won't have to see them ever again".
"Suits me fine" Robbie replied.
"Yeah me too".
That's the end, please tell me what you think.
