"I know. I don't want to leave you. Plus I don't have the strength to care for the kids. You have always been there." Jackie said

"I know kid. I wish I could be there for you. The kids can stay at Bobby and Ethel's you can get some rest. I just don't want anything to happen to you or the boys." Jack replied as the nurse came in. She gave Jack some anti sickness.

"Those will help. Mrs. Kennedy do you need a bed?"

" Yeah we love them." Jack replied feeling very groggy

"Do you have dogs or cats?"

"Yes we have Charlie a Welsh terrier and Clipper a German shepherd ,we have a cat named Tom Kitten. "Jackie replied

"Get rid of them animals carry disease."

"I asked my brother if it was okay to have the dogs and cat he said it is fine. My brother said when I get the chance to go home they will have the house cleaned and the dogs and cat will be bathed and their nails will be cut." Jack replied

"I wouldn't have animals they are filthy." The nurse replied

"My nephew gave me a salamander for my birthday. But he was dead so we buried him. His name was Meshach. Jack replied

"Ugh gross the nurse said as she fixed Jack's chemo and gave him the drugs she left.Jack and Jackie burst out laughing.
