My Crazy Boy (sequel to My Crazy Girl)

chapter 14 calving season

It was a dark and stormy day. "Great!" I thought. "Isn't it always like this when you dont want it too." I thought grabbing my heavy coat. We have had a few cows calf. Daisy was due any day. I was always busy helping out when I could. My phone started ringing in my pocket. I pulled it out. Kick it in the sticks played. Hunter was calling me. I answered with a hello.

"Hey what are you doing?"

"Just about to go out and feed the cows. Since my mom and dad left for the day."

"Ooo well I was wondering if you wanted to come over."

"I'm  sorry I can't."

"I know so.. I'll be over in 30." With that he hung up. I laughed.
I feed the cow's than went into the barn. Daisy mooed when she saw me. "Hi girl." I went and pet her. I decided yesterday to bring her in. She had milk leaking out so it was almost time. I let myself into her stall that my grandpa had built for his long horns. I went around to her butt. She had legs sticking out. It was coming! "It's ok Dasiy I'll stay here. But let me go get a few things." I let myself out of the stall. I ran and got a heater, blankets and some food. I went back to the barn. I placed the heater outside and put the blankets down and then I sat down. I pulled my phone and texted Hunter. "I'm out here in the barn Dasiy's going to have her calf!" An few seconds I got a text back. "Ok I'm on my way!" He was here in no time.

"How's she doing?"

"She doing ok, but I'm worried she hasn't been pushing."

"Lets wait a little to see if she does anything. I read that it might take a little bit of time. Maybe she's just having a break?"

"Ok." He pulled out his laptop and put a movie in for us to watch. A half an hour past. I could not sit still.

"I think I'm going to call the vet." I said pushing 2 on my speed dial.

"Hello Country Hill vet. How may I help you?"

"Hi my cow has been trying to calf but she only has legs coming and it's been about an hour and a half. Can the vet come out?"

"The vet is out about 5 hours away. Let me have him call you."

"Ok thanks." I hung up and started pacing.

"Is the vet on there way?"

"No he's about 5 hours out. Daisy can't wait that long!" My phone rang I answered it.

It was the doctor. "Now Holly I won't be able to get there on time. I need you to put me on speaker and I'm going to talk you through this. Ok?"

"Ok." I gulped as I turned him in speaker.

"Ok first off do you have a calf puller and chains."

"Yes."

"Good go get them and a bucket of water."

"Ok. Hunter can you go get the bucket of water?" He nodded. I went and got the puller and chains. "Ok we got them both. Here Hunter hold this please." I handed him the phone. I sliped of my coat, long sleeve shirt. I had on my short sleeve shirt.

"Can you see feet?"

"Yes."

"Ok. How is the cow?"

"She is laying down."

"Ok so careful wrap the chain around the feet. Is the calf puller put together?"

"Yes." I did as he said. Dasiy mooed at me.

"Ok now try to crank the lever." I did. Daisy mooed out of pain. "Is it coming?"

"Yes."

"Ok now as you crank, Hunter go move the pole to the right than down very carefully if your not careful you could kill both of them." Great thanks doc that makes us feel better. We did trying to be as careful as we could.

"I see the head!"

"Good but now you have to get the rest of him." We keeped doing what we were doing. Soon the calf dropped on the ground.

"It's out but not breathing!"

"Go remove the sack around the nose stick your fingers in his nose." I did.

"Not working!"

"Dump the water on him." I did. It gasped for breath for a minute. Than it started breathing good. Daisy got up and started licking it.

"Good girl." I checked to see if it was a girl or boy. "It's a girl." I said slipping out of the stall.

"Nice work kids! When I get closer I'll come look at it."

"Ok thanks doc." I said hanging up. "We did it!" I said. "That was amazing and kind if gross at the same time." I laughed. "But it never gets old."

I washed my hands and arms. I was glad there was a heater. "I hope we don't have to do that agian." I said sitting next to Hunter.

"Ya but it was cool we made a great team. Are you cold?"

"A little. And we do make a good team." I had but my shirt and coat on but I was still cold.

"We should go in the house."

"No I'm staying here till I know their ok."

"Stubborn."

"Yep." He wrapped a blanket around us both.

"I'm glad your here." I said looking at him.

"I am too."

He started leaning forward. So did I. Our lips touched. As in the movies fireworks went off in my head. He to soon leaned back. Ending the kiss. "Wow." Was all I could say and think.

"Ya that was.. Ya wow." We both smiled sheepley.

"Holly. Would you like to go out with me some time?"

"As in a date?"

"Yes as a date."

"I would love too." We both went back to looking at daisy and her calf.
