**~**Forever in Love**~*

Jackie had opened her eyes to angels around her and her wearing white. Jackie looked around to see if she knew what was going on. Then out of nowhere, Howie's sister Caroline appeared in front of her. " Caroline? What's going on here? Am I dead?" she asked. " No you aren't. You were sent here for me to help you see what life is like without you." " What are you talking about?" " Jackie this is a dream, but you can't go back until you see everything and that's what I am here to do. Sweetie, look..."(points to Nick)" he hasn't left your side since got into the coma. He's been here since then."

Jackie looked at Nick who was holding her hand and crying. She had noticed he hadn't taken a shower or change his clothes since the last time she saw him. His eyes were swollen and red, his face was just filled with sadness and hurt. She could tell that he hadn't been sleeping for a few days. " Oh my Nicky! Don't worry everything is going to be okay. Caroline, what am I suppose to see?" she asked her. " I will take you anywhere you want. I will show you anything. Who do you want to see?" " I want to see Carla and AJ's life." she said. " Follow me then." Caroline said and Jackie followed into a white vision.

A few minutes later they were in the living room of a couple's house. Jackie see's two kids running around the house and another one in the play pen. She looked at the kids carefully and saw that they looked like Carla and AJ. Carla was in the kitchen getting a bottle ready for her youngest one. Jackie looked around the house and knew it was AJ and Carla's future they were looking at. She looked around and found a picture she hadn't seen for a long time. Jackie picked it up and remembered when the picture was taken.

" This picture was taken when we finished taping Anticipating. This was when Nick and I made it official. It was 2am and we were all tired, well not everyone except for Kevin. We were just in front of Howie's club finishing up the shot and about two or three fans were waiting. They asked for us to take a picture with them and we did. After that Nick and I went for a walk along the beach by his house and that's when he said he loved me. That was the best night of my night, that whole time we were just sitting on the patio, curled up in a blanket watching the sunrise." she said to Caroline with tears in her eyes.

" Jackie, I want you to see something." she said and brought her to the nursery. " She's pretty. What's her name?" " Her name is Jacqueline. She names the little girl after you. " " Really? That is sweet. What about her career?" " She had a career for awhile until little Jacqueline was born. She writes for other artist but since you left them, it hasn't been the same. She can't be up there alone she said it was too painful"

Jackie looked at Carla rocking her little girl to sleep. Jackie had tears in her eyes when Caroline told her about the whole thing. She knew that Carla had the potiential to be the greatest and she had the ability to go far. She knew that Carla had the time and talent to do anything she wanted. Jackie looked around the nursery and saw another picture. She walked over to the picture and picked it up. The picture was of Carla, Leighanne, Kristin and Jackie. Jackie had noticed that she was about two to four months pregnant. It was taken when they last saw eachother before her and Nick broke up the first time. Next to that one was a picture of her and Nick and he had his hand on her stomach and they were smiling because she was expecting. That was when they both knew she was in love with them. She had started to cry and saw Carla talking to her baby. " Shh little one. Sweet dreams my baby girl. I wish your Aunt Jackie was here to see you. You're so precious she would be so proud of you. I know I am." Carla said and put her baby down to sleep.
