Jack and Martha 4eva Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 Thanks for all your wonderful comments, and I will definitely update again today.
Jack and Martha 4eva Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 Chapter 37 Jack and Martha were closer than ever. The twins and Charlie still found it really disgusting that their parents could be that close. "Mum please, I'm trying to eat my breakfast, could you just keep your hands off dad for one minute?" Jodi asked "I might be able to, but only whilst you eat breakfast" Martha joked "Jodi, your mum can't help it if I'm irresistable" Jack added "No she cant, but she can stop behaving like a teenager thats infatuated with her boyfriend" Harry said before Jodi could reply. "Absoloutely right" Charlie added. Jack and Martha were fighting a losing battle. It was them against the twins and Charlie. "Fine, have it your way, but just make sure that you don't come back before telling us" Jack replied "Dad, that is disgusting" Jodi said "I am going to school" she added before picking up her bag. "Hey, Jodi, wait for me" Harry yelled before quickly following his sister. "Come on kids, it's time to go" Martha said taking their bowls away from them. She gave them their lunch and then got their bags. Her and Jack walked them to school. Charlie didn't talk to them at all on the way there. As soon as they got to the school he along with his sisters went straight in. "See you later kids" Martha said, but there was no reply. Jack leaned in to give Martha a kiss. "You could have at least waited until I'd gotten inside" Charlie yelled. Martha and Jack just burst out laughing. *************** Jack and Martha had decided to go to the diner. Jack wanted to catch up with his dad, as it was his day off. He was most likely to be in the Diner or Noah's. When they reached the diner, Tony wasn't there, so they headed off to Noah's. As predicted, he was standing there having a beer, talking to Beth. "Alright Jack?" Tony asked as Jack and Martha walked in. But Jack didn't hear him, he was too distracted with Martha's lips. "Jack mate" Tony yelled. Jack pulled apart from Martha quickly. "Hey Dad, what is it?" Jack asked "Well, I was going to ask you if you were alright, but it seems that you're fine, especially with Martha all over you" Tony replied "Sorry, Tony" Martha said "Don't worry, Jodi and Harry warned us" Tony told them "What, so now everybody know what we're up to?" Jack asked "No, not everyone, I mean Kim and Rachel don't know, but the twins have just about told everyone else" "Oh my god, they are so sneaky" Martha said before bursting out laughing. "Yer, I think we'll have to have a work with them when they get home" Jack added "That's if they decided to even come home, they might decide to go and live with Irene or someone" Martha joked. "You know what, they're probably already moving in" Jack added. ************** Jack and Martha stayed and chatted with Tony for a while, but they soon decided to go home. At the house, the twins were there, making some lunch. "I see you decided to come home then, not too embarrasing are we?" Jack asked "Well, you've certainly got better, as you're not falling through the door, kissing each other" Jodi replied "Yes well" Martha didn't reallly know what to say "Oh, by the way, have you told anyone that we're all over each other?" Jack asked again. Neither of them replied. "We just thought that as you told Dad, you might want to confess to telling anyone else" "Right well, as you already know about Tony, we told, Colleen, Irene, Tony, Beth, our mates from school, Lucas, Mattie, Ben, Morag." The list went on and on, "Oh yes, and we just told Kim and Rachel" Jodi finished. Jack and Martha were looking at each other in disbelief. How could the twins do that to them. "Mum, dad, we only did it to make you see what it was like to be embarrassed all the time" Harry said. Jack and Martha didn't say a word, not even before they went back to school. ************** Martha could now see how their kids felt everytime they kissed or hugged in public. She felt quite guilty actually. To make it up to them tonight, they could all go out for dinner. It wasn't long before the kids were coming out of school. Martha and Jack set off on the short walk to get them. They held hands on the way there, but as soon as they got there, they let go. The kids were in a suprisingly good mood. Charlie started talking to them, which made a nice change. Martha suggested the idea that they go out for tea. They all loved it, so Martha and Jack left them to discuss which restaurant they would be going to. They also had to wait to see if the twins wanted to go aswell. But as Martha thought they jumped at the oppurtnity. The kids decided on the Italian place in Yabbie Creek. The food there was lovely, but rather expensive, not that that mattered, as Jack and Martha could easily afford it. ************** The kids seemed to enjoy themselves alot. Martha just about managed to keep her hands off Jack, much to everyone's surprise. Jack's the most. As soon as they had all finished Jack paid and they went back to their house. Lily and Indi were really tired. They worked really hard at school, but they got good grades. Martha went upstairs to put them to bed. Jack followed her, as Lily wanted to see him. After they had gone to sleep Jack pulled Martha into their bedroom. He kissed her on the lips. "Jack, I missed this today" she remarked "Believe me so have I" Jack added before kissing her again. Downstairs Jodi was trying to find them. Robbie had just come to the door, and wanted to speak to both of them. Jodi thought that they were still putting Indi and Lily to bed, so she went upstairs to find them. She looked in both of the girls rooms but they weren't there. The only obvious place left was their bedroom. As she walked towards it she called out to Martha but there was no reply. She opened the door and saw her parents in a rather compromising position. Martha was unbuttoning Jack's shirt. "Mum, dad what are you doing?" she yelled at them "Well, what does it look like?" Jack replied "I don't want to know" Jodi said looking down at the floor. "Look all I came to tell you was that Robbie is downstairs and he wants to see you" "Right we'll be down in a minute" Martha replied "Make that ten" Jack added "No dad, he wants to see you now" Jodi yelled. "You two are so disgusting, I knew that it was too good to be true" she added before quickly leaving the room. Jack started kissing Martha again. "Jack, I really want to, but Rob's downstairs, come on we have to go and see him." Martha said "Fine, but we'll finish this later" Jack replied "I wouldn't have it any other way" Martha said before kissing him again and then taking his hand and pulling him down the stairs to go and see Robbie. **************** They had been talking to Robbie for quite a while now. Jodi had obviously told Harry about how she had found them and they were both giving Jack and Martha weird looks. They soon decided that they would be best in their rooms. Robbie just wanted to know how Jack was really. He could tell that he had interuppted something, so decided that he better leave. Martha tried to get him to stay, but he was adamant. The twins had now gone to sleep, and so had Harry. That left Jack and Martha on their own. Before Robbie was even out the door, Jack had started kissing Martha's neck. He picked her up, and she wrapped her legs round his waist. He carried her upstairs to their bedroom. They started where they had finished. PREVIEW Jack and Martha are really happy. Is it too good to be true? Is trouble brewing? Who is the surprise guest? I know that it's shorted than usual, but I am a bit busy, and my computers messing around. I hope you like it and thanks for all of your wonderful comments. I might be able to update again today. Please R&R. :D

Jack and Martha 4eva Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 Chapter 38 Things had been going well, almost too well. Jodi still wasn't really talking to her parents. Neither was Harry. Jack was going back to work soon, Martha didn't want him to go, but Jack was adamant. He wanted to finish up the Corey case. It was a saturday, and Indi and Lily were playing outside in the garden. Jack and Martha were amusing themselves on the sofa, much to their kids disgust. At the moment they couldn't be more embarrasing. Suddenly Indi ran in screaming. She was crying aswell, she couldn't speak. Martha calmed her down quite quickly. "Indi, what happened?" Jack asked "Well, a man came, and, and well he took Lily" she replied. Jack ran outside straight away. Lily was nowhere to be seen. Jack and Martha both had a good idea who had taken her. COREY. Jack phoned up the station straight away. The police arrived really quickly and went straight into the garden to look for any sign as to who had been there. They got forensics in straight away. By the end of the day, nothing had been found. Jack was getting quite annoyed, he just wanted to take control of the situation and organise everyone. But he wasn't allowed. Martha and Jack both knew that they wouldn't get any sleep that night, they wouldn't sleep until Lily was found. It was nine o'clock now, and the police had to come back in the morning, there was nothing else they could do. All of the kids were now asleep. All they could do was hope. ***************** Martha and Jack hadn't slept a wink. Nobody spoke at breakfast, usually Lily would be there, chatting away, keeping everybody entertained. But not this morning. The police had decided that the best thing to do would be to send out a search party. They had not recovered anything from the garden, so it seemed like the obvious thing to do. Quite alot of people had turned up to help, it was surprising how many people knew the little girl. By midday they hadn't found anything. People were becoming rather pesimistic. So far, Martha and Jack had been strong for the kids, but Martha just couldn't keep it together anymore. She collapsed down onto her knees and started crying. How was she going to cope without Lily? Jack came over and tried to comfort her. "Martha, everything will be alright, I promise you" "But Jack, what if she's dead?" Martha asked "Martha, she won't be dead, our little girls a fighter" he reassured her. Martha didn't reply, she just stayed in Jack's arms. **************** It was nearing the end of the day and yet again nothing had come up that would help them find Lily. Two days missing was a bad sign, and as the days went on, people were less and less hopeful. She had now been missing a week. The police were about to call off the search, when Lily's shoe was found. This could have been taken as a good piece of information or as a bad one, as it could have signalled a struggle. Unfortuantely, it wasn't good news, the shoe, had blood on it. It was taken off straight away to the lab where they would be able to find out if the blood was Lily's. Everybody feared the worst. *************** The police had searched everywhere, and only found her shoe. The lab results had come back and once again, it wasn't good news. Jack happened to be at the station when they came in. He took them into his office and was hoping that what he saw would not be too bad. THE BLOOD SAMPLE MATCHES THAT OF LILY HOLDEN How was he going to tell Martha? She was already struggling to cope. Everynight she cried herself to sleep. He couldn't tell her, not just yet. He had to get home. His family needed him, he could do nothing to help at the station, his family needed him more. Back at the house the phone was ringing when he walked throught the door. He answered it, it was the police. *************** Jack was on the phone for ages, whilst he was on, he hadn't seen Martha or the kids. As soon as he put the phone down, he went to find them. At last there was some news on Lily. "Martha" he yelled out. "Jack what is it?" she asked "Martha, they've found Lily, she had been tied up in a shed" he said "What? When?" Martha asked again, she had so many questions that she needed answering. "I'll tell you later, but we need to go to the hospital, she's in a critical state" he replied. Martha was already out of the door and getting into the car. The journey to the hospital seemed to take forever. Eventually they got there. They came rushing into the hospital to find Julie talking to a police officer. "Jack, come this way" Julie said. Jack and Martha followed her to the room that Lily was in. She was just lying there, she was on a life support machine. Martha couldn't believe what she saw, her little girl with bruises all over her face. How could somebody do that? Why did they hurt her? She was only six years old. Rachel came through the door. "Hey guys" she said "Hey Rach" Jack replied "How is she?" "Well, she's in a pretty bad way, when they found her she had stopped breathing, but only just, we managed to revive her in the ambulance, but then she went into cardiac arrest, we hooked her up to the life support machine, but I'm afraid the only thing we can do is wait" Rachel finished. "I'll leave you to it, but if there's any sign of her trying to breath on her own, then get someone immeadiately." "Thanks" Jack said before Rachel walked out the door. "Jack, look at her" this was the first time Martha had said anything since arriving at the hospital. "I know, but at least we found her" Jack tried to stay positive, but was failing miserably. "Jack, she isn't even breathing on her own" Martha added. Jack didn't reply. He could see that Martha was about to cry again. He went over to her, and pulled her into a hug. The tears soon came pouring out. ***************** TWO DAYS LATER There had been no change in Lily's condition. She still lay there in the same position. Martha had shut herself away from everyone. She wouldn't talk, she just sat by Lily's bed looking at her. Tommorow, they would have to think about turning off the life support machine. Jack hated to think how Martha would cope. The only thing that kept her going at the moment, was the fact that Lily might wake up. ***************** It was now the time where they had have a serious talk about their baby's future. There was such a small chance that Lily would survive as it had been three days now, that they decided that it was best that they turned the machine off. Jack and Martha left Lily's room for the first time since she had come in to go and sign the forms. Rachel then went into the room and flicked the switch that ended Lily's life. Martha asked Rachel if she could pick her up. Rachel agreed. Martha just sat there in Jack's arms with Lily in their arms whilst she peacefully slipped away from them. ***************** ONE WEEK LATER It was the day of Lily's funeral. Martha had shut herself away even more. She wouldn't talk to anyone. She just sat on the sofa holding onto Lily's old teddy bear. Why did her family have to go through so much hurt? In five minutes they had to leave, to get to the church. Jack had organised it all. He hadn't cried since Lily had died. Everyone at the church took their seats quickly. Alot of people had turned up to say their goodbyes. The priest started talking about Lily's life. "She was a perfect daughter" he said. Martha couldn't handle it anymore, she ran outside tears streaming down the side of her face. Jack ran after her. She was stood outside looking out to sea. She heard footsteps approaching behind her. She turned around and Jack was standing there. He went over to her and pulled her into a hug. As Jack was comforting Martha they heard a scream from inside. "I WANT LILY BACK." It was Indi, her and Lily had been so close. They heard Beth going up to her and trying to calm her down. The realisation hit Jack. He was never going to see his little girl again. For the first time in weeks, he broke down. Martha was left to comfort her broken family. They all had to pull together in each others hour of need. PREVIEW How will the family cope? What is wrong with Martha? Right well that is the modified version. My computer was messing up so I had to post the first half before I lost all my work. I hope you all enjoy it. Em xx
