"Ronnie - Ron, cmon Ronnie please get up" pleaded a completely desperate Jack as he tried to soothe Amy who was fit to burst with the amount of tears she was harbouring. He had his phone held to his ear with his shoulder awaiting a response from 999, Amy in one hand and the other shaking a completely still Ronnie into consciousness. Yes thought Jack this is what hell must indeed by like, Jack could tell Ronnie wasn't seriously hurt as her pulse and breathing were perfectly normal, so consequently he hadn't totally ruled out joking in his mind at this point and with that he hung up the call in which a response was yet to come . "Ron if you could just wake up - please" Jack sighed and sat back against the offices sofa in dismay, the office didn't appear to have had an intruder in at all so Ronnie must've knew whoever was in here when it happened. The CCTV! The person who did this would've been caught on them for sure Jack jumped up like lightening causing Amy to burst out in fright. Great he thought looking down at the baby, carefully setting Amy down on the already set up pillows Jack began the tedious task if scouring through the DVD tapes.
Two minutes later Jack found his answer and there his face appeared Archie, I thought as much Jack smiled with delight at solving the mystery "He wont know what's hit him" he found himself saying out loud.
"Don't lower yourself Jack- he only wants a reaction" spoke a quiet yet blunt toned voice from behind him. Jack turned around grinning "But where would be the fun if we didn't show him not to pick on club owners" he joked as he offered a hand to help a rather pale looking Ronnie Mitchell up off the floor. "Jack - honestly I just want my wrist seeing too right now okay? So now you've got your daughter I'll be off" Ronnie carefully stated as she brushed herself down ." Ron I'm coming with you - Amy wants to see your hand get better" Jack added in seeing her first response to him accompanying her. "Fine, get your coat then" and with that Ronnie was out the door and preparing to lock up . For gods sake she's unbelievable thought Jack as he dealt with his daughter, frantically preparing her to leave.
"Right in and out Jack I mean it, I hate hospitals - I hate the time they take up" spoke a negatively charged Ronnie as she swung open the entrance doors to A and E huffily. "Certainly madam, would you like a coffee?" asked a sarcastic Jack eyeing up a café looking thing "Actually I would" replied Ronnie winking, quickly adding "I'll have Amy while you get them, you look like you need a break". Jack looked at Ronnie warily, her hand was already bruised and consistently swelling not to mention the blood stained napkin she was clutching onto. "I'm fine Jack-" Ronnie defiantly replied to Jacks stares "Just give her to me I'm fine". "Fine" said Jack as he reluctantly placed Amy on her lap. Not that I have any choice in anything when it comes to us he thought angrily walking away.
"Right Ms Mitchell the doctor will see you now, do you want your partner to come with you?" asked the over tentative nurse beckoning them "Oh he's not my partner-" replied a shocked Ronnie bluntly, and as the nurse heard this she shot her and Jack a judgmental look whilst glancing at the seemingly illegitimate child between them. "What? Oh its my sister and his baby not mine - and yes he can come if he wants" shrugged Ronnie not really bothered either way and walking towards the nurse leaving jack to trail on behind. "Well Ms Mitchell take a seat on the bed-" Spoke a rather good looking Irish male doctor as Ronnie entered "Okay, now first we'll do an X ray on the injury as there appears to be evident breakage here - as for the blood you seem to be producing we will do a routine urine sample just to make sure no veins were damaged, which could ultimately lead to minute internal bleeding- is that okay ?" the doctor politely asked. "Yes, that's fine" Ronnie replied sweetly smiling. She's nice to him thought Jack sulkily whilst sitting in the corner minding his own business, he glanced over at Ronnie, it was weird and almost annoying to see her acting this way with another man other then him. Well, it used to be me.
Ten minutes had passed and the sample had been taken and Ronnie was out getting the X ray done and all the while Jack had sat holding Amy patiently, if he was being honest he had thoroughly enjoyed being with his daughter and Ronnie at the same time, it was somewhat comforting. Amy had began whimpering in her sleep and Jack was himself starting to drift off when Ronnie re-entered, "Would you look at the doting father over there doc" she mockingly laughed slightly flirting with the doctor by touching his arm lightly "Yes Ron - so funny" remarked a cynical Jack. "Right Ms Mitchell - lets look at these results -" and as the doctor flicked through the sheets attached to her file. Ronnie watched his face fall from a flirtatious grin to a silent, taken aback stare. "Erm well the sample has come back fine on your blood flow count but er- would you like me to tell you the details privately" the doctor cast his empty stare over to Jack and the baby "Er-" lightly laughed Ronnie in awkwardness "Well I can just read it surely -give it here". Ronnie gestured for the file hastily, quite anxious in what it said for it to make the doctor reply in such a manner, the doctor handed over the brief description and watched on as Ronnie's eyes widened to the size of golf balls. It seemed to take an eternity for Ronnie to fully register whatever was on the piece of paper what happens if she's like - terminally ill Jack worriedly thought, his mind began to race rapidly. "Ms Mitchell - the file" Ronnie looked up at the doctor like a little girl being scolded "Sure-" she replied handing over the piece of paper which had knocked her over six. "Ron - everything's okay right?" questioned a curious Jack cautiously "Yes Jack everything's fine, you can go now - all it says is that the exciting stuff is over and now all there is, is an application of a cast and a prescription of painkillers, can you leave me to get dressed now please?".
Jack had returned to the square alone that evening, with Amy all asleep and ready to give back to Roxy under Ronnie's strict authority, he hoped Ronnie was fine, and she was just tired, but he couldn't help having a feeling something wasn't quite right. Like she hadn't said entirely what was on the piece of paper he wasn't allowed to see. Jack glanced down at his watch 7.05 pm, Roxy would be furious at not having Amy in bed at this time and he was going to get the raw end of it. Great.
As Jack walked the walk of seeming shame up the vics stairs he could hear the distant sound of Danielles voice - funny, Ronnie hasn't mentioned her all day Jack thought back. "Hey ladies, Roxy your shining daughter Mrs Tiggy has arrived " Jack proudly spoke out loud as he entered the lounge, presenting the expensive and extremely heavy buggy his credit card bought months previous. "Oh hi Jack, nice to see her anyway, well I've just been learning Veronica's latest shanigans, about her and her old flame Joel would you believe - Danielle's birth dad?" Roxy stated matter of factly peering at Danielle in between sentences, Danielle purely looked on shyly, her eyes blotchy as if she had been crying. "Don't worry Dan, as much as I see it as long as Ronnie puts out for him the more he'll visit the square wont he? Roxy added teasingly in response to Danielles negativity over the matter "Yea I guess - where is Ronnie by the way Jack" Danielle added in a slightly more up beat manner, and slowly not long after she had spoke a smile spread across her face like wild fire as Jack lifted Amy out and gave her to Roxy. "The hospital would you believe?" replied Jack smugly raising his eyebrows smiling as he awaited a response "Yes, that's where your daughter and her dad have been for the past three hours, looking after Ronnie, because of a fight breaking out between her and your father". Both women's faces dropped.
"So your saying she was just collapsed on the clubs office floor still holding Amy - Jack! - she's alright isn't she?" panicked Roxy, Jack could tell Roxy was absolutely furious at Archie for doing this. "Yup, I've got the CCTV to prove it as well but listen if its ok with you two I'm off to open the club" replied Jack as he braced himself to leave. "Yea same - Stace has got us meeting to young handsome men at RandR in about an hour" Danielle piped in also getting up I really don't want to see Ronnie right now, she'll only be apologetic and I just want to have a good time with Stacey she thought whilst zipping her coat up. "Oh right - that's nice, leave me ere then - watching desperate housewives with a cuppa tea like some old sap!" exclaimed a devastated Roxy. Jack turned around slightly laughing while Danielle hugged her lightly in sympathy with an awkward grin forming.
Jack glanced at his watch as he stood talking to the bouncer asking if he'd seen Ronnie, his watch read 10.05 pm and Jack was beginning to get concerned. "OI!" Jack defiantly yelled, over his shoulders were two lads walking past to get out the club beginning to light up. "Don't think I don't know what they are boys? If you take any drugs into my club again I will have you nicked - so I recommend deeply you finish your joints or whatever they are called, get your coats and leave this area- okay? Jack nodded to the bouncer for a reaffirming position and headed back inside to his office.
It was now 11 o clock and Ronnie's face was still yet to be seen, and Jack had just spent the best part of an hour filling in all of her overdue paperwork. I'll kill her when I see her he thought opening her desk drawer, as if running this place isn't bad enough she has me doing this - honestly can you belie -what the?-. Jack stared heavily down at the white formed paper that faced upright. It was dated today's date and had Ronnie Mitchell's health records all over it. And as Jack began to read heavily into the information presenting itself so openly, his eyes began to open and slowly absorb the text actually on it.
Outside the office, in the main dance floor of the club a drunken pair of girls danced heavily trying their best to seduce the men eyeing them up. It was not as if Danielle didn't like the two males that she was with, it was just she knew they were somewhat - druggies- by the look of their eyes and she could tell Staceys bloke was evidently only here for one thing. "What do say fellas - fancy taking us home then" slurred an extremely flirtatious Stacey Slater winking at Danielle who smiled in agreement. To hell with Ronnie she thought Lets try and be abit like her for a change .
