Dale squinted at the lights, trying to focus his eyes before looking at Raschelle.

“Where’s Sylvie...She’s a doctor…” He uttered, groaning in pain. “Seriously, did someone call my wife? I thought she’d be here too.”

--

“Grandpa, where’s Dad?” Dean asked him then with a head tilt.

Raschelle opened her mouth and let it hang open for a moment, apprehensive about giving Dale the news as she knew as soon as he found out Hell and high water wouldn't stop him from trying to get to his wife. However...he did have the right to know.

"Um...well...there's a reason I'm here and no one else," she began. "It's because Dad had to go get Sylvie from your house after...her...water...broke." SHe trailed off.

-----

"Uh...well, I can't really tell you right now because it's a secret, but I can tell you that he he's in good company because your Auntie Raschelle is with him right now." Courtier assured as he continued to tail Sylvie. They paused momentarily at the front desk, only to collect some paperwork for Sylvie to fill out when the time was appropriate, and then headed on into the maternity section of the hospital to find Sylvie a room to get settled into.

“What?” Dale blurt, immediately lurching forward in his bed with a start; pausing and clutching his abdomen. “Why am here? Someone call her and tell her I’m coming, where’s my phone?” Dale fired off, shuffling in his bed; struggling to throw off the sheets.

--

“Oh okay. Will he be here soon?” Dean asked curiously.

Raschelle quickly lurched forward as well, reaching out to grab at Dale's shoulders, aiming to pin him back down to the bed.

"Dale! Lay back down, you can't be moving like this! You just got SHOT for Christ's sake!" She said, pushing at his shoulders.

----

"Well, we can hope, kiddo, but in the mean time, me and you will keep your mom some company." Courtier said, following Sylvie into a room at last. The doctor left, saying he'd be back as soon as Sylvie was settled to get her checked out, and the nurse remained, assisting Sylvie out of the wheelchair. She turned to Courtier and Dean.

"Can you excuse us while I get her changed into a gown?" She asked, to which Courtier gave a brisk nod, turning tail and leaving the room.

“Ouch!” Dale yelled, falling back against the bed. He frowned, brows knit tight together as he stared at his sister. He loved her, she’d always gone out of her way for him no matter what; she was good to him. But right now, he wished she’d just let him go.

“I know, but Sylvie needs to know where I am and that I’m coming.” Dale nodded.

--

“Do we need to change too?” Dean asked, looking up at Courtier. “Because all I brought was a jacket.”

"Listen, you can call her if you want, that's fine, tell her where you're at and at least let her know you're fine, but Dale, you are NOT leaving this hospital right now! I mean, Jesus, you were shot like two hours ago and you JUST got out of surgery!" Raschelle continued to protest.

---

Courtier couldn't help but give a small chuckle.

"No, just your mom." He said.

“I know, but she needs me. You can’t tell me that if you were in my shoes you’d just hang out in bed.” Dale retorted. “I mean, can’t I be flown out to Demont at least? Be by her side in a wheelchair?”

"And how do you expect to pay for that! Dale, you've already got a nice hefty medical bill and now an even BIGGER bill to pay for that little one coming right along, do you really want to pay for a flight of life, which you do not need MIND YOU?" Raschelle protested.

wasthatspeedingcameraNO · Site Admin Joined: 24 Jan 2012 Posts: 571

;Then just wheel me out of here! It hurts but I’m fine, I’m alive. If we get started on the paperwork I can make it there within a couple of hours.” Dale tried to sway, Raschelle.

"You're alive, but do you know how close you came to being...well you know! Dammit, Dale, they had to give you a transfusion, that's why Dad sent me here!" Raschelle snipped back, not ready to be swayed. She understood that Dale being there for the birth of his and Sylvie's baby was important, however, his life was much more vital to her.

That makes sense, I was laying on the floor for like, twenty minutes. Dale thought to himself. He thought better not provoke Raschelle anymore by not fighting her, he slumped back in his bed; defeated.

“Can you at least call Sylvie for me, please?” Dale asked.

Raschelle gave a sigh of relief, glad that Dale's persisting pursuit to get back to Demont had ended for now. She stooped over in her seat, reaching down to rifle through a plastic bag full of Dale's belongings the hospital staff had given to her when she came in.

"You can call her if you want. I dont' know if Dad told her what happened yet, but I'm sure either way she'll just be glad to hear from you." Raschelle explained, handing Dale his phone.

Dale uttered a ‘thanks’ before accepting the phone and dialing Sylvie immediately.

Sylvie had successfully changed into a hospital gown and was currently being hooked up to the various monitors that were required. The nurse was adjusting the strap for the baby's heart monitor about her stomach when she heard her phone ringing from the bedside table, which she almost missed due to the sudden loudness of the baby's heart rate echoing in the room. She managed to reach over to the table, giving the ID a quick glance before fumbling the phone in her hands frantically.

"Dale?" She began with a start.

“Sylvie!” Dale yelled back, as though this phone call had taken years to transpire. “Sylvie, are you okay? How far dilated are you? Is Dean with you? Is he okay?” He blurt out all at once.
