Sandy's POV
I walked down the hall towards Don after the last bell rang.
"Hey."
"Hey, you ready?"
"Yeah, just can't wait to get home."
"Yeah, same here. My mom is haveing our family sit down and eat dinner as a whole for the 'last time'. she is so sappy with Ronnie going to europe."
"Well she should be. I mean we don't know when they are going to come back or how long it will take them to become famous or realize they need to come back home."
"Yeah, but I don't feel sorry for us. I just feel a little bad for Jen. I mean she is going to have to wait and wait and wait while takin care of Cooper and the little one on the way." Don said as we walked down the school steps to the parking lot.
"Wait, Jen is pregnant again." I said in full shock.
"Yeah Ronnie told me. She is due in like April."
"Damn, and Gage is still going."
"He actually didn't want to go but Jen pushed him to. She said something about she didn't want him being mad at her for not being able to go and try and fulfil his dreams or something." Don and I got into his car andgot settled in while we carried on our conversation.
"Jeez, she is stronger then me. If Kyle got me knocked up I sure and hell would not let him go and that's a fact."
"I know. My mom found out and she was like well we need to help the girl as much as possible so my mom is going to watch cooper for most of the day while Jen works and sleeps and takes care of herself."
"Oh well that's nice of you guys."
"Yeah, we all love Gage and Jen anyway they're good people."
"Yeah. How old is Cooper anyway?" I questioned as Don swerved past a slower driver and ran a red light. "You know that was illigal."
"Whatever. and Coops about 1 and a half about to be 2."
"Oh ok, that does sound about right because she was pregnant in high school with him."
"Yeah. But all I know is Gage better not do anything over there in Europe because I heard Jen got family over there that will be watching him closely."
"Who told you that?" I questioned Don.
"My brother of course."
"Oh please Jen's mom is from Baltimore and she doesn't know her dad. DOn't believe everything your brother says."
"Your tell this to the person that lives with him."
"Use to live with him."
"You know what I mean."
"Yeah, sure I do. But wow, I didn't know that Jen was having another baby."
"Yeah. I talked to Jen when she and Gage came over the other night and she already has baby names picked out."
"really what are they."
"Well if its a boy then she is going to name him Ace but if its a boy she is going to name her Liliana."
"Oh those are both cool and pretty."
"Yeah. But for now she is working at a waitress and living with her mom. My mom said that if she wants she can move in with us though so I dont' know how that is going to turn out."
"Well she'll make the right decision." I said as Don pulled up infrot of my house. "Well that was fast."
"I'm in kind of a hurry to get home. It is my brothers last night you know."
"Yeah. See ya." I said stepping out the car and onto my lawn.
Dalia's POV
I figited in the chair next to Ben's bed as he started to wake up. Finally some answer could me asked and solved.
"Dalia, remember now ; lets not try to flog him with questions." Carla said standing beside me.
"I know Carla." I said leaning my head on her hip. She rubbed my hair which felt really nice. I remember when she use to do this to me when I had nightmares about my mother shooting herself or her boyfriend coming to my bedroom at night.
Carla comforted me whenever I needed it. When people ask I usually don't say that Carla is my step mom because in all actuallity she is my real mom. She is the one that would protect me no matter the cost, she is the one that would put me above herself in times of need, and she is the one that really loved me. I loved Carla with all my heart and was glad that she was here.
Ben's eyes fluttered open and he looked around the room in a confused expression before he noticed me and Carla watching him. He tried to speak but anyone could tell that his throat was dry, especially when nothing came out.
"Don't try to talk now Ben ; just relax." Carla said in a loving tone.
Ben smiled up at her then looked at me with sad eye.
"Just relax Ben, we'll talk later." I said holding back tears and putting on a smile.
Ben reached his hand and a grabbed it tenderly not trying to hurt him in anyway. We stayed like this and Carla went to go get Dr. Lee.
"How are you?" Ben managed to speak in a hushed hoarse voice after a few minutes of being awake.
"How am I?" My voice began to crack from me trying not to cry infront of him. 'Ben, how are you? Don't you feel any pain?"
"A little, but it will pass." Ben said with a smile.
I licked my lips and felt a tear trickle down my face.
"Don't cry."
"What do you mean don't cry, look at you, you had me in here worried to death." My voice cracked again as I wiped the tear away.
"What's today?" Ben said in a low voice that I could barely hear.
"You've been knocked out for a few days. It's Thursday."
"Really?"
"Yeah. It's Thursaday." I said my nerves finally calming down.
We stayed silent for a few more minutes and Carla entered back into the room with Dr. Lee.
"You have awaken." Dr. Lee said with a smile, his eyes darted from Ben to me. "You haven't been quizzing him to hard already have you?"
"No sir I actually have been answering all of his."
"Oh ok, well Benjermin may you please say awwh for me."
Ben did as he was told and Dr. Lee ran a series of quick test before telling us the news on Ben.
"Well we have good news and great news about Ben." Dr. Lee said turning to Carla and I as Ben was now sitting up.
"Ben will be able to go home in a few days and I will proscribe him some pain killers. But the great news is his cat skan on the brain came in and he is fine, no major injuries. I will have him pay a visit to Dr. Stienburge a Neuropsychologist twice a month for the next 6 month. After his 12th session with Dr. Stienburge if nothing is wrong he can go on with daily life. But I don't want you doing any heavy activity for the next 4 to 6 months and you can go back to school in the next two weeks. I will personally discharge you from the hospital either tomorrow or the next day. OK thank you."
