Chapter Fifteen:

“I can’t believe that he’s out there again!” Jack fumed. He and Martha were in their room, talking.

“Jack, maybe he just wants to make amends or maybe he’s not headed here at all. Just please, calm down I’ll be fine.” She said, tugging on his arm for him to sit on the bed beside her.

“I won’t calm down Martha. He abused you so badly, I don’t want him in the Bay ever again. If he comes anywhere near you, I serious don’t know what I’ll do.” He said, running his fingers through his hair, agitated.

“Jack just calm down. I’m not any happier about it than you are but I’m not rushing out there ready to jump into action. You need to calm down.” She said, holding his arm tightly.

“I just want you to be safe.” He said, sighing as he reluctantly sat down.

“I will be safe. Because you’ll be with me and Isabel. So don’t you leave, don’t storm around furious. Stay with me and Isabel and we’ll be fine.” She said evenly.

---------------------------

Two days later Martha knelt in the bathroom, looking at the innocent stick on the floor near her. She looked at her watch: 30 seconds. That meant another 30 seconds she had to wait. She bit her lip nervously, she didn’t know if she wanted this to be positive or negative. At the moment everything was so up in the air that Martha was wondering how everything would be if she did have the baby. She checked again, then reached for the stick. Two pink lines. She was pregnant.

----------------------------

Jack looked sideways at Martha “You alright?” He asked her, she looked pale.

“I’m fine.” She said, plastering a smile over her face.

“Are you sure? You look pale.” He commented, turning to face her.

“I’m fine Jack.” She snapped.

“What’s going on?” He asked.

“Nothing.” She said, turning back to the TV.

“I know something’s wrong. And it’s not Ash because you’ve been fine about him for two days. So what’s happening?” He asked her.

She rubbed her face with her hand and sighed.

He put his arm around her “Something’s definitely wrong. Tell me.” He urged her.

“Jack, I’m pregnant.” She said, turning to him.

He stared at her, looking surprised “You’re pregnant?” He asked her unsurely.

“Yeah.” She said, nodding “I did a test this morning.” She said quietly.

“Are you happy about this baby?” Jack needed to know.

“Of course I am Jack.” She said sharply “But this isn’t exactly the best timing. Ash still hasn’t been found and what if he finds me and hurts the baby?” She needed to know.

“I’m not letting you out of my sight so it doesn’t matter. And he’ll be found before you know it.” He comforted her.

------------------------------

One week later, Martha was in Northern Districts Hospital, with Jack by her side ready for the scan.

Rachel smiled as the baby flashed on screen “You’re around two and a half to three months along.” Rachel commented, her trained eyes staring at the screen as she took it in.

“Wow. I’ve been pregnant and I haven’t even noticed.” Martha said, staring at the screen, then her stomach, then finally back to the screen.

“The past two years have been pretty hectic so it’s probably just you weren’t paying attention. And recently with Dad’s birthday.” Jack pointed out.

“Yeah I guess.” She said, smiling at the picture on the screen “Wow, my beautiful baby.” She whispered.

“We’re going to have to tell Isabel. Hopefully she’ll be happy with the thought of a baby.” Jack said, also watching the screen.

“We are.” Martha said quietly staring at the screen “We definitely are.”

--------------------------

“We may as well tell everyone.” Martha said as they walked out of the hospital, to pick up Isabel.

“I guess we should.” Jack said, smiling as he got into the driver’s seat.

“I still can’t believe it though.” Martha said, smiling “We’re going to have two kids under four. But that’ll be alright, Isa’s already pretty good with everything so that isn’t a huge worry. She’s got a really good temperament.” Martha grinned at Jack.

“That she has.” Jack said, nodding to her as they turned towards Summer Bay.

----------------------------

“Hey Jack.” Martha grinned as she worked at the bar, wearing her Noah’s jacket.

“Hey Martha.” He greeted her, sitting at the bar in his police uniform “I didn’t know you were working.” He said, looking at her calmly.

“I wasn’t going to but Beth was desperate. And Isabel was tired so she’s in the storeroom having a sleep. I bought her little travel crib. She’s asleep, and nobody’s allowed in the storeroom until she wakes up.” Martha grinned to him “Not even you, so you’re staying out here.” She added.

“What if I were to disobey orders? What would you do then?” He asked her, smirking as she got his drink.

“I would not be happy, she’s been grumpy.” She said, looking at him sternly.

“Too much for you to handle?” He asked.

“Never, but she may have been too much for you.” She smirked at him “She wouldn’t settle, I was getting a bit upset then Beth called me in. She settled here, so I realised I should stay the rest of Beth’s shift for her.” Martha said, handing Jack his drink.

Jack took it with a nod “Right, so that means I’ll be going home to an empty house?” Jack said.

“Kim should be there. Have a boys night.” Martha suggested “I won’t be home for a few more hours.”

“Well if Isabel gets too bored or if you get too tired, call me.” He said, smiling as he headed out.

-----------------------------

Two days later, Martha smiled as she headed to Sally’s place with Cassie and Tash, they were all headed there to just hang out and have fun. Cassie had gone back to living with Sally after Macca returned to his old ways once again, leaving her shattered.

“Oh my god!” Cassie said sharply, looking around the completely trashed house.

Martha hurried up faster, leaving Tash with Isabel “Who would do something like this?” She asked angrily. It was just like what had happened when Zoe came back a second time. But this time, there was no tick tock light bulb, but there was everything else.

“I’m calling the cops.” Cassie said, picking up the phone.

----------------------------

“Peter.” Fitsy said, walking in where Jack and Peter were talking “Martha Holden just rang.”

“Martha? Is everything okay?” Jack asked.

“There’s been a break-in at Sally Fletchers.” She answered.

“Jack, Lara come on we’ll go.” Peter said, grabbing his jacket.

--------------------------

“Martha!” Jack called, hurrying in.

Martha turned, surprised to see Jack then remembering he’d had to work. She put her arms around him.

“Were any of you here when it happened?” Peter asked them.

“No, we came about twenty minutes ago.” Martha said, her voice shaky.

“Anything unusual?” Pete asked.

“No.” She answered him.

“Except this.” Lara said grimly. She was holding a photo of Jack and Martha. A crack ran through the middle of the picture, obviously not there by accident.

“I think we know who broke in.” Jack said, in the same grim tone Lara used.

“Ash.”
