She had made a pit stop to the house after dropping Julian off as school; the door was ajar and she wasn't sure she wanted to see what was inside, but she couldn't help herself as she pushed the door forward.

Jackie gasped softly as she saw the house in ruins; broken dishes on the floor and various items scattered across the carpet as she slowly made her way inside.

She covered her mouth in shock as she softly pushed items out of her way as she made her way through the house.

The silence softly killed her as she made her way back to the bedroom where clothes were thrown all over, the lamps broken, and the bed no longer recognizable.

Jackie sighed as she walked down the hallway to Jonathan's office that was a complete and utter mess; she couldn't believe the sight in front of her.

She took a step forward, then gasping in pain as she looked down to see the item that she had stepped on, she nearly pouted as she leaned down to grab it.

The music box that Crane had given her was in pretty good condition still, she sighed as she opened the box and smiled at the ballerina figurine that was ready to dance; she gave the knob a few twists and let it go.

Jackie tried to hold back tears as she familiar tune of the Swan Lake theme played, she watched the ballerina spun in place.

"Jonathan, what's going on?" Jackie asked, giggling as Jonathan guided her into his office.

Jackie held onto her husbands' hand tightly as he guided her towards his table where another wrapped present rested on his desk.

Crane smiled as he stopped her by his table "Okay, open your eyes." He said, grabbing the wrapped gift.

Jackie opened her eyes and smiled at Crane as he showed her the gift "Open it." He told her.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Just open it!" Crane said, smiling at her.

Jackie softly unwrapped the package to show a gorgeous pink box, Jackie looked up at Crane for a second as she felt the knob on the bottom; she twisted it as she opened the box, to find a ballerina spinning in place.

"Oh, Jonathan." She responded, looking up to smile at her husband "It's beautiful." She said, hugging Jonathan tightly as she held the music box.

Jonathan smiled "I knew you'd like it." He responded, pulling away from the hug to kiss her "I love you." He told her.

Jackie looked at her husband and smiled "I love you too." She said.

Jackie held the music box tight as she continued to roam throughout the house, looking at the wreckage and making mental notes to herself.

The widow sighed as she made her way back to the front of the house when she felt a pair of eyes coming from the boys bedroom; she slowly turned around to face the dimly lit room.

Jackie closely examined the bedroom when her cell phone vibrated in her jacket pocket; she jumped as she caught herself, putting her hand on her chest as she reached in her pocket for her cell phone.

"Hello?" she asked, turning away from the bedroom.

"Nurse Crane; Hi, it's Mildred, we're having a problem with one of our patients and the doctors could use your help and expertise." She said.

Jackie sighed "Okay, I'll be right there." She said, hanging up her phone and putting it in her purse.

She looked around the house one more time, before she left, closing the door behind her and attempted to lock the door; but it was broken.


Jackie was enjoying her lunch break silently in the break room, reading a copy of Cosmopolitan in silence as she felt a presence sit next to her.

She looked up from her magazine to see Dr. Patel sitting next to her with his lunch spread along his side of the table.

"Uhh…" Jackie managed to get out as she looked at the doctor.

Dr. Patel smiled "Hi, Nurse Crane." He said.

Jackie sighed as she looked back at her magazine "Hello, Dr. Patel." She remarked.

Dr. Patel quietly ate his lunch before he put his fork down and dabbed his mouth down and cleared his throat.

"So, Nurse Crane," he said, getting Jackie's attention as she looked back up from her magazine "I was wondering if you maybe wanted to go out for dinner some time." He said.

Jackie put her magazine down and smiled before she looked at the doctor "Look, you seem like a really nice guy; but…I'm not exactly ready to date yet. And, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm done dating doctors." She remarked.

Dr. Patel cocked an eye brow "But your husband was a career villain." He responded.

"He was a psychiatrist first." Jackie remarked.

Dr. Patel sighed "Well, then." He remarked, turning back to his lunch for a second.

"I'm sorry, but what exactly did you see in him? He was rather dainty and scrawny…and just weird!" Dr. Patel asked.

Jackie looked at Dr. Patel disgusted as she grabbed her magazine and got out of her chair "If you have to know, he loved me SO much! And he was more of a man than you ever will be!" she remarked, walking out of the break room.


"Yeah, right there." She muttered, lying on the couch as Julian gave her a feet rub.

Julian looked at his mother in the silent "Hey, mom?" he asked.

Jackie looked at him and smiled "Yeah?" she responded.

"Can you tell me the story of when I was born?" Julian asked.

Jackie chuckled as she sat up on the couch "Only if you keep rubbing my feet." She bargained.

Julian nodded as he continued to rub her feet, Jackie sighed as she thought for a moment.

"You were born on a very early Tuesday morning, I went into labor in my cell right before midnight and they took me to the hospital." She said, Julian nodding.

Jackie nodded "So, you came out crying; nearly screaming as the doctor held you. They cleaned you up and put you in my arms and you—you were so beautiful. You looked at me with those blue eyes and I knew you weren't a mistake." She told Julian.

Julian smiled "Was dad there?" he asked.

Jackie nodded "Yeah. He was hiding in a shadow because there was a warrant out for your arrest. But he saw you in the ward as I rested; and the story goes that your father went to see you, and you slept with one eye opened." Jackie said.

Julian chuckled "Did I always do that as a baby?" he asked.

Jackie shook his head "No, it was just that one incident." She said.

"Do I really look like dad?" Julian asked.

Jackie nodded "Yeah, you're the spitting image of him; and so is your brother." She said, looking down at her watch "Now go get ready for bed." She said.

Julian nodded as he got up off the couch and ran up the stairs, Jackie sighed as she laid back down on the couch, closing her eyes for a second before dozing off on the couch.
