Martha sat in the cold hospital room waiting for something anything her thoughts were interrupted by her mobile ringing she picked it up and the person on the other end said "Martha McKenzie" "yes who is this" Martha said "um this is Susie from Yabee creek prison" "the prison" Martha exclaimed "what's wrong" she said "um this is hard to tell you but your grandfather has just recently had a heart attack and he died on route I'm very sorry" "um ok can I ring you later to make arrangements" "Of course" "Ok bye" Martha said not really being able to talk properly knowing that one of the most important person in her life was dead and another one was in a coma and may never wake up and to top it off she was going to have his baby how could she raise it without a father and at that moment she remembered that sometimes people in comas can hear what you are saying and if they want it enough they will wake up for it so she said "Jack please wake up for me and for the baby " she knew that if Jack was awake he would know exactly what to say to make her feel better but Jack didn't wake up so she decided to go get something to eat even though she wasn't hungry but the baby obviously was so as she went to leave the room she was at the door when she heard a groggy voice say "Martha, Martha" Martha heard this and she didn't really believe that it was him she slowly turned around and said "Jack" "Martha" Jack said trying to sit up but Martha said "don't I'll get the nurse"

A couple of minutes later Martha came in with the nurse and she started to examine Jack and then said "you'll be fine we just have to keep you in for observation" jack nodded and the nurse left "I'm so glad your ok" Martha said wrapping her arms around jack and kissing him "I couldn't bear to live the rest of my life without you neither of us could" she said as she placed her hand over her stomach. "Hey Martha" Jack said" "yeah" Martha said "I was thinking maybe I could pull a few strings and get your granddad out for the wedding just then unwanted thoughts came rushing back to Martha and she began to cry" "hey Martha what's wrong" "when you were in the coma" Martha started "what" Jack said "the prison rang and said that Granddad had die died of a heart attack I have to ring them back to make arrangements" just then Martha started crying the most she had ever cried in her whole life.
Jack wrapped his hands around her and said, "I know it's hard now but it will get easier trust me you do don't you" "yes" Martha said and just as Martha had predicted Jack knew just what to say.
