Leaving Everwood Behind

"Ephram is to never know."

In disbelief, she shook her head. She hadn't believed what she had heard. Ephram's father, Dr. Andy Brown had asked her to keep her pregnancy a secret. A secret from the father of her of her baby, no, of their baby.

Shaking her head, she had firmly stated, "No, Ephram has the right to know."

Just as firmly and boldly, Dr Brown had insisted, "I'm telling you, Ephram is to never know. As I stated before, I will help you in way I can, whether you decide to go ahead and have this baby or not. But again, I'm telling you, Ephram is to NEVER know."

"What am I supposed to do?" She had asked, as a tear slowly rolled down her cheek. "Ephram will know."

Dr. Brown, had walked around to his desk, opened a top drawer and pulled out a business card. "I have a friend, Dr. Hank Hastings who can help you." He had replied as he handed her the card...

Madison glanced out the Greyhound bus window, as she rehashed over and over in her mind the last conversation she had had with Dr. Brown. Reaching into the front pocket of the duffle bag, which sat in the seat next to her, she slowly pulled out a business-sized envelope. "Madison" was printed on the front. Madison slowly opened the letter that by now she had read numerous times.

Dear Madison,
Enclosed you will find the Greyhound Bus Ticket for Glenn Oak, California. Also, here is some cash to tide you over for the next couple of weeks. As I promised you, I will take of needs you and your baby may have. When you get to Glenn Oak, Dr. Hank Hastings will meet you at the station. He has made arrangements for you to stay with his brother-in-law, Eric Camden and his family, for as long as you need. I will keep touch, to make sure that you are well.
I know that you do not agree with my decision to not tell Ephram of your child. Sometimes, I wonder I am making a mistake in not being truthful to my son, but for now, as I stated before, Ephram is to never know about his child.

Sincerely,
Dr. Andy Brown

As she re-read the letter, Madison couldn't believe she was on her way to California...to some town called Glenn Oak.
