-Jade- Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Wow, another update! This is quite amazing! Please read and review - I love reading your comments! Chapter 18 “I’m going to have to ask you to leave now.” Rachel said to Jack apologetically. Reluctantly Jack agreed and left the room, sitting in the waiting room, still worrying. Meanwhile, Rachel was trying to get Martha to come around again. “Martha, can you hear me? It’s Rachel. You’re in hospital and I need you to wake up.” Rachel looked at Martha closely as her eyes started to flicker open. The bright hospital lights took some time to readjust to, but eventually Martha could see Rachel’s concerned face looking down at her. “Where am I?” she asked confused. As she turned her head to look at the white walls, and bland furnishings she realised. “Why am I in hospital?” she asked. “Well, I’m going to run some tests to find out but I shouldn’t worry about it. “ replied Rachel smiling reassuringly. ******************** Half and hour later, Rachel re- entered Martha’s room with the results. “Right, nothing to worry about too much it just looks like you haven’t eaten enough and you passed out due to lack of energy. “ Martha looked relieved. Outside, Jack was becoming increasingly impatient to see if Martha was ok. He went up to the door that would lead him see Martha, considering whether to go in or not. Technically, he knew he shouldn’t but he really was worried. Nearing the door he touched the door handle, intent on opening it when he heard Rachel say something that shocked him. “You’re eating for two now Martha, so eat more ok?” Jack took a step backwards in surprise. Martha was pregnant?! He couldn’t believe it. With Chris’ baby. Despite the fact that this should have meant nothing to him, Jack felt angry. Chris abused Martha and now he was having her child. It wasn’t right or fair on the baby, let alone Martha. But whilst this new revelation served to put more on Jack’s mind, it did clear some things up. He couldn’t help but feel for Martha and what she was going through. It was hardly surprising that she wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. Five minutes, later Rachel came out of the room. “You can go in now Jack.” She said smiling. Jack nodded and entered. On the bed, he could see Martha fiddling with her hands, looking as beautiful as ever , despite the hospital clothes and the bruising on her legs and arms, which were only faint now. “Hey” he said softly. Martha didn’t acknowledge him; it was like she was in her own little world. Jack knew that he needed to tell her what he knew but he wasn’t quite sure of how to bring it up. In the end he took the direct approach. “So you’re pregnant….” He said to her. Immediately her head snapped upwards and she turned to look at him, shocked. “How… how did you know??” she stuttered, tears threatening to spill over. “I’m sorry, I heard it through the door when I was about to enter. Are you OK? Is that why you collapsed today?” But Martha didn’t answer him; instead she just burst into tears. “My life is such a mess!” she cried. Instantly, Jack was by her side and he opened his arms to take her in a hug. “I wouldn’t be in this position if he had been careful. But he was never careful he just forced himself on me. I don’t think I can bring up a child with an abusive father, but I don’t know what to do.” After finally letting out some of the feelings that had burdened her mind for the last day, she went limp in Jack’s arms, too exhausted to do or say anything more. Now she had started crying she couldn’t stop, so she just buried her head into Jack’s chest and let her tears seep through his shirt. “Wait a minute.” said Jack “He forced himself on you? So you mean he raped you?” All Martha could do was nod. On the outside Jack kept his cool, for Martha’s sake, but on the inside, Jack felt unimaginable rage flow through his body. Without realizing it, his fists clenched and his muscles tensed up. He didn’t think that he had ever been this angry in his life. He didn’t just want to hurt Chris, he wanted to kill him, he wanted to put him through incredible torture and he knew that even that wouldn’t be enough. But for some strange reason he didn’t leave and go after him, he didn’t run out of the hospital intent on finding him. He could wait. Right now he knew that Martha needed him.
