Chapter 8
Jackie continued to take care of Dylan. The next day was the funeral of Jackie's sister, India, Zane, and Aiden. Jackie was depressed. She felt like part of her died. She was sitting her office one day watching the news, whenever they brought up Alfie's name. They said that the cops picked him a few days ago, throwing away some stuff that he used to make the bomb that blew up the clinic.
Jackie was now smiling. She was thrilled that Alfie would never hurt her or her friends again. Ron walked into Jackie 's office and noticed that she was dancing to I've Had The Time Of My Life.
He walked up to her grabbed her hand. And before they knew it they were dancing just like in the movie Dirty Dancing. Amy, Lana, and Richard saw them. They were enjoying what they were seeing. Richard grabbed Amy's hand, and they began to dance. Jackie's dress would go up in the air whenever Ron would spin her around. Amy's dress would do the same. Jackie was happy. She forgot about the pain she was feeling at the moment. She would be felling it the next day though. Jackie, Ron, Amy, and Richard continued to dance for the rest of the day. Andy walked out of her office. Andy: "Hawkins what the hell is going on here why are people dancing in the hospital?" Lana: "Well Dr. Campbell Jackie's happy." Andy: "It must be a sickness." Lana: "It must be." Jackie danced out of her office , and danced over to Lana, she took Lana's hand , and danced with her everyone was having fun except for Andy.
Jackie did the come here finger. Andy walked over to Jackie. Jackie pulled Andy into a hug. Andy was shocked but she hugged Jackie back. They both were crying. Amy: "Now it's a party." Jackie: "Yep it is now." Everyone was having a very good time. Jackie, and Andy were friends again. Jackie didn't want the night to end. But she knew it would. Quicker then it came. The next day was Lucie, Zane, India, and Aiden's funeral. Jackie was there along with Amy, Ron, Richard, and the rest of Jackie's co- workers. Jackie was holding Dylan. Jackie was six months pregnant. As the priest reed from bible Jackie began to cry. Dylan was starting to cry. So Amy took him, and gave him a bottle. Jackie was about to faint. But Ron held her close to him. As she cried, she could feel her heart breaking. Half of her family was gone. She knew nothing would be the same again. But she also knew she had to go on for the sake of her unborn baby, and her nephew Dylan. Jackie would go on with her life. But now was a time to feel sadness, and pain. She had some emptiness in her heart that day. She walked up to the coffins and placed roses on them, then she kissed them.
Then everyone left. The ride home to Ron and Jackie's house was a silent one. Jackie did not speak. She was heart broken. One they got home Jackie ran upstairs to the bedroom she shared with Ron, and cried herself to sleep. Ron had no idea how to help Jackie at all. But for now he would just be by her side. He went upstairs to their bedroom crawled into bed wrapped his arm around Jackie's waist, kissed the back her neck. Then fell asleep. Amy, and Richard stayed over to help Jackie take care of Dylan.
