Happy Valley-Tad’s Trials and Tribulations –Part 13


Tad’s house
Krystal arrives looking for Tad
“Krystal whatever is the matter?” Asks Dottie
“I can’t say it I can’t say it aloud.”Krystal says
“Tad’s in the man cave with Michael .I’ll call him and then maybe you can tell Tad and I what is wrong.” Dottie says
“TAD” yells Dottie
“You rang madame? Seriously what’s up? Michael and I were Watching Hockey and since Jenny isn’t home to do the running commentary we are trying to keep up.”Tad says
“Krystal needs to see you.”Dottie says showing him that Krystal is there
“I didn’t see you there Krystal. Hey what’s wrong? Is it Adam?”Tad asks
“No it’s not Adam it’s Colby.
Flash to the earlier that Day
Colby Calls Krystal
“There’s something wrong Krystal. There’s something wrong with the pregnancy I’m in so much pain. Please can you come over?”Colby asks
“You should go to the hospital Colby. Can you get a cab?”Krystal says getting into her car and still talking on her Bluetooth
“Ooooh that hurts.”Colby says
“Did you call the doctor?”Asks Krystal trying to concentrate on her driving
“No I thought it would go away but my back hurts so much and I have pain radiating to my front.”Colby states
“I’ll be there in a couple of seconds then were going to Happy Valley Hospital.”Krystal says
“Okay.”Says Colby
Krystal runs into Colby’s apartment with Pete
“Where is Pete anyway Krystal asks?”
“He is in the middle of a big project .He’s trying to find the next cure.”Colby says proudly
“You don’t understand any of what he really does do you?”Asks Krystal helping Colby put on her coat to get her to the waiting car
“No but I know he is helping a lot of people with abilities he may be able to cure illnesses.” Colby says “Ooooh this hurts so much what is happening?”
“I don’t know but we are going to get it looked at.”Krystal says “And I think Pete needs to leave his office and come join us.”
Happy Valley Hospital Emergency Room
“So what do we have here?”Asks Jake “what is happening Colby?”
“I have a pain right here in the middle of my back. And it goes all the way to my front.”Colby says
“Well here’s what we are going to do Colby we are going to do an ultrasound and see how that little one is doing. Then we are going to see just how far along you are with these contractions and see if we can stop them.”Jake says softly
“Contractions? I’m in labour how can I be in labour it’s too soon.”Colby says her eyes growing round and looking scared
“I know honey but we are going to take the best care of you and your baby and see whether we could stop this labour.”Jake says
“Krystal I want Peter get my Pete please?”begs Colby
“I will honey .I’ll be back in a jig with him but in the meantime you calm down and do whatever Jake says. Okay honey.”Krystal says
“I wish my mom wasn’t out of town visiting Nana Colby.”Colby says
“I’m here Darlin and I’m only leaving to get Pete. That will take five minutes tops.”Krystal reassures Colby
“Hurry Krystal.”Colby says
Pete walks in looking worried as Colby’s labour rapidly progresses
“That ‘s it Colby .”Says Jake as he delivers the baby
“It’s a girl “Jake says suctioning the baby’s nose and mouth and transferring the tiny baby girl to a neonatal bassinet
“Can I see her?”Asks Colby
“The baby is very tiny Colby. She needs specialized care forte next little while.”Jake explains to Colby as he wheels over the bassinet for a quick look for Colby
“Will she live?”Asks Colby terrified
“I don’t know Colby she’s very tiny and very early. She seems to be a fighter though. What are you and Pete going to call her?”asks Jake as the nurse wheels the baby away to neonatal.
“Pete?”asks Colby
“How about Roxanne because she is a fighter?”Pete asks
“That sounds like a good name. I wanted to call her Elizabeth after my Aunt but that can be her middle name if that’s okay with you.”Colby says
“Will you go stay with her Pete I don’t want Roxanne alone.”Colby states


“Don’t worry Colby I’ll make sure she’s never alone. Krystal will you go tell my brother Tad and ask him to get everyone to help us out? I want to arrange shifts were people hold and sing to our little girl and pray for her. I’ve heard before that helps newborns that are born before 40 weeks,” Pete states ”I’m going now to be with Roxanne .
We see Pete singing to his daughter
“Sleep my little one sleep my pretty one. Father is with you now. Rest .rest on Daddy’s breast mother will come to you soon.”
The nurse smiles as not only Roxanne but other babies in the neonatal unit seem calmer with Pete’s singing
Flashback to Tad Krystal and Dottie
“So how is Roxanne doing?”Asks Tad shocked
“She’s holding her own but as I said Pete needs help. If you and Dottie could help arrange a prayer group that could not only pray but hold Roxanne I think that would help them.”Krystal state
“Anything they need they’ve got it.” says Dottie picking up the phone and starting to call people to help.
Krystal says ”You are a lucky man Tad Martin. I hope you realize how lucky you really are and don’t screw this up.”
As Tad’s thoughts flashback to his sitting beside Hillary’s hospital bed and wondering what it would have been like if he had stayed married to Hillary.
