Harold's pace quickend, his hand clughted on his wifes hand tightly. His eyes grew more and more angry. "Honey, calm down" Jackie said, through her tears. He shook his head frantiacally. He stopped, right in the middle of the hall way, and fell to the floor, sobs over coming him.He wrapped his arms around his knees, laying his chin on his knees, and wept. Jackie looked at her husband with sad eyes. She kelt down, embracing him, rocking back and forth. "I..I...h..how c..could he say that..o...our s..son's...g..gonna be j..j..just fine, right?" Harold whimpered, raising his head, his eyes metting his wifes. Her heart broke, as she saw his hopefully eyes,looking at her. She bit her lip, the tears coming back. "His gonna be just fine honey" She said, trying her hardest to be the strong one. They both rocked together, clinging onto eachother tightly. "Honey, let's go see Brian ok?" Jackie whispered. Harold wimpered, nodding his head. She slowly stood up, bringing her with him. Once they both stood, Jackie embraced her husband again, hugging him tight. She pulled away, grabbing his hand tightly in her's. They both walked down the hall, to the information desk, and asked for their son's room number.
They both took a deep breath, opening the door slightly.They slowly walked into the room, there heads low. Harold raised his head, his gaze fell upon his youngest son, laying on the hostial bed, a breathing tube down his throat. He let out a whimper his hand tighten on his grip on Jackie. The tighten grip made Jackie raise her head. Her eyes wided at the sight of her son. She let out a sob, buring her head in her hands. "Oh God" Harold whispered, walking over to where Brian laid. He slowly sat down next to him, his hand lightly running over Brian's small, cold hand. He lightly picked up his son's tiny hand, lowering his head, and kissing his hand. Brian slightly opened his eyes, but the light was blinding him. He moaned, causing both Jackie and Harold to look up. There eyes filled with tears, as they saw there little boy start to wake up. Jackie rushed to Brian's side, as Brian finally got use to the light some bit. As his gaze fell upon his parents, tears automatically came. The little boy cried, tears streaming down his face. He tried to cry out for them, but the tube down his throut hurt too much to speake. Seeing their son, sob, made tears pour from their own eyes. "Oh honey, your gonna be just fine my sweet baby duck" Jackie cried, as she reached over, kissing him on the forehead. As she tried to let go, she felt a small pair of arms wrap around her neck, bringing her closer. She smiled, hugging her son back. She pulled away, kissing him on his forehead once again. "You get some sleep my sweet baby duck, alright?" She siad, trying to cover her tears. Brian nodded, laying his head back on the pillow. Harold reached over, kissing his son on the forehead, "I love you" He whispered his Brian's ear. Brian nodded, "I love you too daddy" He said, right before he fell alseep. Harold and Jackie both looked at their sleeping son, with tears in their eyes. Their gaze fell upon eachother. Jackie broke down in tears, running over to her husband, hugging him tightly. "Oh honey, what are we going to do? My poor babyduck" She wept. Harold shut his eyes tighlty, his grip on her tightened. "I don't know honey, I really don't know"
