I do not own these characters or the show.

This is just a little dive into the SEASON 9 EPISODE 16 Pandoras Box. Only centered around Lisa's doctor appointment. Her news and her need to go to the lawyers to sort out her Estate. Enjoy

Lisa walks into the house, "Where were you?" she sighs as Jack states he was out at the pond with Katie "Jack we had an appointment at my lawyers" "I'm sorry I completely forgot" he replies genuinely he forgot "Did you forget to turn on your phone as well" She asks anger lacing her tone "No" "You haven't answered one of my calls" She snatches the phone out of his hand and points out the power button and what it's used for. "I get that you don't wanna deal with this but I've worked very hard to build my business" "I know you have" he cuts in "and I if anything happens to me want you to take on Fairfield" "I'm not in the horse breeding business, you know that" "It's not about you, we have grandchildren, we have great grandchildren God help us and I'm thinking about there future" "Okay I get it Lis but I'm not trying to avoid this, I don't understand why you're in such a big rush to go over your will, I mean you're young and you're healthy" "no, no that's not the point. The point is that anything can happen at anytime and I want the family to be taken care of and I need your help to do that and that's tough to do when you can't even be bothered to show up at an appointment" Lisa almost yells and storms out to take a walk. Jack stands there closing his eyes, shaking his head not knowing what the hell just happened. He couldn't understand what that was about.

Couple hours later Lisa is sitting at the table with her laptop. Jack overhears her conversation with a telemarketer but the fear in her voice tells him somethings not right. They talk at the table about Lisa's tests and the need for the doctor to run them and why. She obviously down plays the need and instead of facing things tries once again to distract herself with Katie and what she wanted her to draw next. Jack sits pondering at the table a little longer. Fear of losing her if not to a medical condition then to her need to obsessively keep busy.

Finally Jack figures out what this is all about, why Lisa so desperately wants to involve her lawyers. She's getting ready to hand everything over to him if anything should happen to her. That leads him to believe that something serious is going on. "We're not going to the lawyers" He says. That conversation right now is just what they needed so she could stop trying to distract herself and actually deal with the news properly. She admits that she's a little worried and scared and needs to do something so she doesn't fall apart. She falls into Jack and hugs him so tight and he says that everything's gonna be okay. She cries and he hugs her tighter.

Jack won't show anyone but once he's alone he lets a tear escape his eye. If something does happen to Lisa, what would he do? He doesn't know if he can go through that loss again. He doesn't want to lose her. He loves her with all his heart. He refuses to let anything get in the way of him being there for the woman he loves.

Sitting on the couch, Lisa's phone began to ring. She talks to her doctor receiving the best news. Her scans and extra precautionary tests came back clear. And Jack lets out a sigh of relief. She turns and falls into his arms again and he hugs her and tells her he told her already everything would be okay. Still in the embrace he let his fear of losing her go and just relishes in the fact that she's okay.

"Thank you for being there for me today" she says as she wraps her around him. She leans into the contact needing it as much as her. "I love you Lis" He says

Added my own little bits but you're right. We never really got to see Jack react to the news much.
