To scared that his family would hate him for not doing, as his father had asked him. So much guilt inside that he lashes out more then ever, getting into trouble with other boys at school. Unable to handle him, Calista sends him to MaCanna. But after a few weeks, MaCanna realizes that even he can't handle his brothers tempers and outbursts.

Gregory was heading out the door for school.
"Greg... can you come here for a minute son?"
Sighing deep, he walked into the den.
"Now what dad? Is this another lecture? Or is this another damn rule?"
Mac counted to ten. Gregory had been a challange to himself and his wife since he started high school. He had somehow fallen into the wrong crowds and gangs. Now at the age of seventeen, he could care less about anything, or anyone.
"No... neither. I need you to check the car before you go. I think the break line may be loose."
"Why don't you just give in and buy a new car dad? I can't keep fixing it. It's only going to hold for so long, before it finally snaps."
"We are taking it in today son, but we need you to fix it, so we can get there."
"Fine..." Heading out the door, Greg seen his friends pull up.
"Let's go Greg... I wanna hastle the cheerleaders today." said Dan.
Looking at Dan, Gregory knew he was trouble. But he couldn't help that he liked him, and his friends. They were always great fun to hang out with. So what if they caused a little trouble. It kept his father busy, and at least he was earning his pay by chasing them around.
Forgetting all about the car, he hopped in and took off.

Back in the house, Stella and Mac grabbed their jackets and headed out.
"I thought the car wasn't working, Mac?"
"I had Gregory fix it this morning. It should get us to town, and then we'll trade it in."
Opening the door, Stella got in and buckled up. "Let's hope we get there in one piece," she teased.
"Funny love, if there is one thing about our son. He knows how to fix a car, and fix it good."
Taking his wife's hand, they pulled out onto the dirt road.

Meanwhile...
Calista and MaCanna were waiting for their parents to show up for lunch. They had agreed to meet and talk about Gregory. Sitting in the booth at the Diner, MaCanna looked at his pregnant sister, and smiled.
"Won't be long now, eh sissy? Another couple months and you'll have your little girls."
"Thank God. Do you have any idea how hard it is to assess a patient, when you're being kicked?" Calista was now a medical doctor, and worked in the trauma unit. She could still remember joking with her parents... "don't ever let me find you in my trauma room." she had teased them.
MaCanna smiled. He could remember the kicks Kincaid had given him, while Selina was pregnant. Now married to Lisa-ann and her daughter Cassandra-ann, they were expecting their first child together. Soon to be a family of five, MaCanna wished his sister only the best with her first.
"I wonder where mom and dad are? They should have been here by now."
Looking towards the door, Calista seen Don getting out of the Sheriff's car. Walking inside, Calista noticed his tears.
"Something is wrong, MaCanna. Don's crying."
Nearing the table. Don swallowed... "you guys need to come with me. There's been an accident. Your mother and father are in the trauma unit at the Hospital."
"What? If this is a joke, it isn't funny, Don." said MaCanna.
"It's not a joke. Their breaks failed, they went off the ravine. Flipping over twice, before smashing into the tree on the way down, they were both critically injured."
Rushing from the Diner, Calista told her brother he'd meet him there.

When she arrived, she rushed into the trauma room, and assessed the situation.
"What do we have, George?"
"You shouldnt' be here, Calista. This is your family. The rule we have is no one works on their own. You're going to have too leave."
"Just give me something, George. If it was your family, I'd give you information."
"Both your parents have swelling on their brain. Their heads crashed into the dashboard at a very high speed. Your father also has internal injuries to his spleen, and possibly his liver. Your mother has a collapsed lung and possibly three cracked ribs."
"Are they going to make it?"
"I honestly don't know, Calista. Given their age and health, all we can do is hope. Now please wait outside."
Heading back out the door, she collapsed in her brothers arms.
