Happy Valley –Part 5-Colby and Pete
Annie’s home
“So is it done?’Is the article going to help Colby’s store?’ demands Adam over the phone to Annie
“I sure hope so my writer told me that Colby’s store wasn’t busy and what customers she had she chased off by losing her temper with staff!’’ says Annie
“Krystal says I shouldn’t have kept her like a princess in a tower! Krystal says that I should have let her find her way her path. Maybe business woman isn’t her forte but that no good Cortlandt she’s married to isn’t supporting her. He ‘s a sponge living off his wife. He must take after his brother Tad Martin! Tad never did a day’s work that was hard he played at being a vineyard owner and a TV host and PI. ‘says Adam disgusted with Pete not inheriting his dad’s company and not working a a job right now
‘I don’t think that’s fair Adam it’s hardly fair that he’s father used him even beyond the grave to run the company until his brother was found and then he’s out of the company! ‘defends Annie
“He doesn’t have a job! He has three degrees the boy should be able to get a job unless he’s too lazy to go out and get one!’ says Adam
Adam you have to realize as a businessman how slim the pickings are for jobs. If you are so worried put in a good word for him with one of your friends unless you really want to hold that over Pete’s head!’ says Annie’ As for Tad that’s really unfair did you know I heard a rumour form one of my news contacts that Tad is working for the FBI!’
“Tad working for the FBI? Preposterous!’ states Adam
“I don’t know usually this reporters information is very accurate!’ says Annie
‘Well frankly I don’t believe it! says Adam
‘I have to go! Bye Adam!’ says Annie annoyed
“Wait Annie! I heard you called him Scott Stuart Tyler Chandler is that true?’ asks Adam
‘Yes Adam!’ says Annie resigned waiting for him to yell at her for using both Scott and Stuart’s names
“Thank –you Annie both my brother and his son in his grandson! I sent a present for my new great nephew. It should arrive at your home by courier this afternoon! Goodbye Annie! says Adam hanging up
“Well will wonders never cease the great Adam Chandler thank me again and is sending a present for Scotty !I wonder what he is sending .I hope it’ not a silver rattle Danielle and her family have that covered!
Annie is tired but knows that she can’t sleep Scotty will be up soon. She lies down on the sofa and closes her eyes for a couple of minutes while that baby monitor is on. She wakes up and hears no sounds from Scotty’s room .She looks at a clock and realizes she’s been asleep for two hours .she races up the stairs looks in Scotty’s crib to find him gone!
“Oh no’she thinks ”Caitlin has escaped and stolen Scotty again!’
Annie comes racing out of the room dials 91 and then sees Scotty in Emma’s arms
“Oh hi Mom I Fed Scotty with that breast milk you had in the fridge .He’s been changed too! Oops make that he needs changing again !’says Emma smiling
“Oh Em I thought she’d come back and taken your brother!’ says Annie
“Mom I’m sorry for making you worry about that! That will never happen again! We won’t let it!’ states Emma contrite
‘I’m sorry to Emma I was just so scared that she’d done it again!’says Annie
“I just saw how tired you looked this morning since you were up all night with Scotty and his tummy ache and I thought you needed t sleep so i thought I’d look after my little brother! He loves his big sis don’t you Scotty!’ Emma says kissing him!
“I’m sure he does I know I love you both!’ says Annie
‘Thanks Mom! Hey can we order pizza for supper?’ asks Emma
‘Sure here’s the menu !why don’t you go ahead!’ says Annie
Annie watches Emma look at the menu and then go on her computer
“Hey Em!’ she says after a few minutes of waiting ”When are you going to order the pizza I’m starved!’
‘I all ready did about a half an hour!’
“ I didn’t see you on the phone!’ complains Annie
Mom you are so archaic I did it online! Hardly anyone uses the phone any more!’ says Emma in a disgusted tone
Just then the doorbell rings
“Mom that will be the pizza guy you better go pay him!'says Emma Okay!’Back in a minute but I’m only going to eat one piece.I have to lose some baby weight! Annie explains
“Mom if everyone looked as good as you did after having a baby they’d be very lucky. I bet your in your pre-pregnancy clothes right?’ asks Emma
Does everyone fit in their clothes right away ? I did with you!’ states Annie
“No they don’t let’s face it mom if anyone didn’t see your baby they wouldn’t know you even had one!’ says Emma
“Thanks Emma you make my self esteem go up so easily!’ says Annie hugging her as the doorbell chimes again and Annie says “okay sorry Pizza guy I’m coming!’
