Happy Valley-Part 12- Aaron and Caitlin’s Story- Resolution 2
Scott stretches in his room at the Hospital for the Criminal Insane!
“Hello, Mr.Chandler! How are you today?’ asks the woman from the doorway
“Better!Thanks Betty I think this new medication is working better for me! My mind is as foggy and my mouth too dry!’ says Scott
“You have a had a phone call!’ says Betty
“Someone called me? Someone cares? ’asks Scott looking surprised
‘A lot of people care about you Scott! says Betty the nurse “we get calls and visits all the time! The only reason you haven’t been allowed visitors up to this point is that the doctor felt it would not be good for your treatment!’
“Really? I thought people had just given up on me after all I killed my father! The sweetest man to ever lived and I took his life for a few coins!’ says Scott remorsefully
“J.r,your cousin has called and come by many times! So has your ex wife Annie Chandler!’ says Betty
“Annie has been by? She must hate me! I hurt her you know!’ says Scott
“I don’t think she hates you! I asked your doctor on whether you could handle this information and he said he thought you were ready! Annie gave birth to your son three days ago!’
“Three days ago? And I’m just learning now? Is Annie okay? Is my son okay?’ asks Scott worried knowing that Annie would have told him right away if she could despite what he had done
“There was an incident!’ says Betty
“An incident what kind of incident are they okay or not?’ asks Scott getting a little excited
“Mr.Chandler if you do not remain calm this conversation will not continue!’ scolds Betty
“I’m sorry Betty! I got little excited there but I’m calm now so I really like to know what happened can you tell me? Scott says slowing his voice down and sounding calm to convince Betty
“That’s much better Scott! Now remain calm and I will continue! says Betty waiting and then continuing she says” Annie had a difficult labor gave birth with only the help of a security guard while that man went for help for Annie your son was kidnapped!’
Scott gasps here wanting to say something but trying to stay calm to hear the rest he doesn’t interrupt
“Annie was devastated and had to be sedated for surgery! While they were doing surgery on Annie to remove the placenta the baby was recovered!’ says Betty
“Annie’s okay and and my boy....My boy is okay?’ asks Scott fearful of the answer
”Please God don’t let the sin of the father fall on my boy!’ prays Scott!
“Annie’s doing well she’s home now with your boy !Scott your boy is fine perfect in every way! He weighed 8lbs 6oz and is 23 inches long .Annie named him!’ says Betty drawing it out
“She did? Is his name Ryan?” asks Scott doubtful it could be anything else
“Annie called personally to tell you and us the baby’s name! The baby’s name is Scott she calls him Scotty!’ says Betty ”She said to tell you that she and Emma agreed his name should be Scott but they’d call him Scotty!His full name is Scott Stuart Tyler Chandler!’
“Oh Annie you are the sweetest woman on earth! ‘says Scott ”she named him after me and my Dad after all I did?’
“Yes it seems she did! She said everyone makes mistakes and that she believed that you had done all this because you were ill so she wasn’t going to be like others who condemned her when she was ill! She said however that we were to make it clear that doesn’t mean she still loves you! You’ll always have a place in her heart but she’s moved on!’ says Betty reading from a paper where she’s written this down!
“I have a son a son named Scotty!He's my son so I better get better and make my boy proud!’ says Scott in wonder
“I’m sure your son would like that Scott!’ says Betty “Now it’s time for group come on now off we go!’ she says taking Scott by the arm
