Hi all, thanks for your reviews they mean a lot. Here's the next chapter which I hope will answer some of your questions. This chapter is slightly longer too :)

Chapter 2.

Jack: "Hey Aaron."

Aaron: "Daddy! Daddy I fell, I hurted my arm. It hurts." Aaron starts crying again a few silent tears escaping. Yet when Jack touches his cheek wiping his tears he is quiet as if he knows he is safe and going to get fixed up.

Before Jack can answer, the nanny speaks up. Tears down her own face.

Nanny: "I… we were at the park. He was on the climbing frame… he's been on it hundreds of times before. I knew… I shouldn't have let him up there. I told him not to go on those monkey bars… I… I didn't…" She starts crying again. Jack knew he should have gone up and comforted her. Yet he stayed sat next to Aaron, listening to the women cry quietly for a moment, before he tried to comfort her with his words.

Jack: "Hey don't beat yourself up about it. Kids have accidents all the time especially near Christmas and it's starting to get icy, people fall and hurt them selves all the time. Don't worry, Aaron would've climbed up there even if Kate or I told him not to? He's just like his mom."

The smile that was on his face as he said this slipped as he took in his own last words. The nanny smiling feeling reassured. Jack turns back to Aaron who has remained silent.

Jack: "Why don't you let me take a look at you Aaron? Make you all better."

Aaron smiles and simply nods. Jack looks at Aaron and instantly sees a nasty cut on the side of his face that will need a few stitches. He tries not to touch his arm too much. It is most definitely broken. He looks around the room and sees the tray full of supplies; he makes his way over to it and finds the suture kit, and the rest of the equipment he needs. He starts by gently cleaning the cut with the water provided by the previous nurse. He cleans the cut out and makes sure there is no dirt or small glass in the cut. He wipes the cut again with a disinfectant wipe before he numbs the area. Once the area is numbed, he starts to stitch up the small yet deep cut on the right cheek.

Just as Jack is finishing the second stitch, he hears shouting outside in the E.R. He pauses what he's doing a moment and listens. He looks to Veronica and she nods her head and makes her way out. As she leaves Jack, she's greeted with a frantic Kate over at the Reception desk.

Kate: "Where's my son! Aaron, where is he! Where's my son." Kate shouts at the nurse who calmly replies.

Nurse: "Mam if you calm down- you may see that we are very busy- hundreds of people pass through this door I can't…" the nurse spoke a little coldly. Kate interrupts her.

Kate: "His last names Austen. It's Aaron, Aaron Austen." The nurse finally acknowledges Kate a slight fear creeping upon her features as she hurries on announcing that she'll find out where he is. Before, the nurse can find out Veronica shouts Kate's name, drawing her attention and she starts quickly making her way over to her.

Kate stops in front of Veronica she can see the tear marks on her face and Kate starts tearing up again thinking the worst.

Kate pulls Veronica into a hug whispering to her that it's not her fault. That it could happen to anyone, Veronica smiles at the familiar speech Jack had said to her.

She pulls out of the hug and places an arm on Kate giving her arm a gentle squeeze.

Veronica: "He's going to be okay. Few cuts and bruises, although the nurse thinks his arm is broken. He should be okay."

Kate nods, and asks where he is. Veronica tells her the room he is in and Kate runs off, she tries shouting her to warn her, but she is already bursting through the curtain unaware of who else is sitting in the room.

She pulls the curtain back, hurriedly she needs to see him, see her son, and make sure he's okay. She sees the back of a male's head who's applying what appears to be stitches to Aaron's face. The man hasn't yet turned around he drops his head for a moment then goes back to suturing Aaron's cheek. It can't be, no. She takes in the shape of the man's muscular shoulders, his dark slightly longer yet nicely groomed brown hair. The way his head dropped as she entered, he knew she was here, and she knows it's him. But how. He finally finishes Aaron's sutures, and places his equipment on the tray, Kate who is still stood frozen, not having said a word, slowly checking out all of his back features, she doesn't need to see his face, to know that it'll be in a frown, not the content in love one she so longed to see. Did she though? He's finally facing her, his head dropped slightly, he looks up at her, as she had guessed, a small frown on his face, but he does try to give her a small smile as she finally speaks.

Kate: "You're not a nurse."

Jack smiles slightly and shakes his head as he looks at her, Veronica finally stood next to Kate, Kate not having taken her eyes from off of Jack. Veronica tries to quietly speak to Kate, although Jack can hear every word.

Veronica: "You ran off before I had the chance to tell you that Jack was here, not the nurse who first checked on him."

She says quickly then stands back. Neither Jack nor Kate have broken the eye contact between them. Kate can't believe that Jack's standing before her, her Jack. He's looking as good as ever; she likes his slightly waxed hair. But his eyes, she can't take her eyes away, she can't break the contact yet. She knows he's clean, she hasn't seen him in 8 months, after she told him not to see her or Aaron again. She didn't think he'd stick to it, hadn't wanted him to, all she wanted was him to get clean. All she wanted was him. So why, when he got clean did he not call? He must still be having problems with Aaron, yet he's with Aaron now? She's fighting an internal battle, trying to find all her answers within his eyes. Yet as she longs him to answer her next question he breaks contact, looking to the ground. She got her answer, yet she's not to sure how she feels about it. When did he stop loving her?

Okay, there you go Jate finally reunited. Is Kate right? Has Jack stopped loving her? Does she still love him? Is Jack okay with Aaron? Everything will eventually start to unravel that's if you want me to continue. Let me know what you think. :)
