Oakdale and its citizens are owned by P&G, I'm just borrowing them for my own amusement.
Since the majority of the Snyder family hasn't been on in the last few years, I wanted to give a brief summary of the family for you.
Emma Snyder and her late husband had several children: Iva (adopted), Seth, Holden, Caleb, Ellie, and Meg.
Iva is married and is the mother of twins Lily and Rose (Rose is deceased) who were given up for adoption when she was a teenager, and MJ Dixon, whose father is Dr. John Dixon.
Seth is married to Angel and they have no children.
Holden is single and the father of Abigail (with Molly as a teenager and reunited with when Abigail was a teenager), Aaron (with Julie, he was mainly raised by Julie and Caleb, and was married to Allison Stewart), Luke (adopted, biological son of Lily and Damian Grimaldi), Faith (teenage daughter with Lily, has caused some trouble in the last year), Natalie, (preteen daughter with Lily), Ethan (young son with Lily).
Caleb is married to Julie. They have no children together, but Julie has Pete and Jenny from a previous marriage, and Aaron with Holden.
Ellie is a single business woman and has no children.
Meg is single and is getting mental health help. She was married to Lily's biological father Josh, her distant cousin, for years. She has a daughter, Eliza with Paul Ryan.
Jack and Brad are cousins. Jack is engaged to Carly in my story and the father of Parker (adopted), JJ (adopted) and Sage. Brad, who is deceased, was married to Katie and is the father of Liberty, with Janet, and Jacob, with Katie. Jacob was born the day Brad died.
If I bring on other characters you don't recognize, let me know.
Chapter 3
Accident Site
Luke stood next to the Hughes's car as he watched a medic dress Reid's hand.
"Make sure you get this taken care of right away." The medic instructed Reid who just rolled his eyes in response.
"I called Jack, and he will get a hold of your family and get them to the hospital." Margo informed them as she approached with Tom. "I gave Officer Spencer your keys, and he'll bring the car to Memorial after they are finished up here."
"Thanks." Reid said as pushed away from the car and moved to open the back door of the Hughes's car for himself and Luke.
"Chris's heart." Luke said looking at Reid and remembering their original purpose.
"It's gone. The transplant surgery has already begun at Bay City." Reid said as he had called and checked shortly after the ambulances had pulled away.
"Damn!" Luke swung at the air in frustration.
Reid placed his right hand at the side of Luke's neck turning Luke in his direction. Luke blinked a couple of times and took in a long breath as Reid pulled him closer to his side.
"Sorry." Luke said.
"It's okay." Margo smiled sadly at him.
Luke turned a sad, but grateful smile on her. "Allison." Luke abruptly said his eyes deep with worry.
"What about her?" Reid asked.
"First Chris and now Aaron, she can't be in the ER when Aaron arrives." Luke said.
"I'll call Casey on the way to the hospital." Margo responded.
"Huh? What?" Reid asked confused.
"Allison was once engaged to Chris and married to my brother Aaron." Luke said as he slid into the car.
"Man, this is a small town." Reid murmured as he slid in beside Luke.
Memorial ER Waiting Room
"Wait here with the kids." Holden told Lily and Carly as he followed Jack to the ER check in desk.
"I'm detective Jack Snyder." Jack said showing his badge to the desk nurse. "This is Holden Snyder. I received a call from Chief of Police Margo Hughes informing that our children had been in an automobile accident and were being brought here."
"What are the names of the patients, please?" The desk nurse asked.
"Parker Snyder, Faith Snyder, Aaron Snyder and Abigail Williams." Jack recited.
"Yes, they are here. They are all being examined right now. I will inform the doctors that their families are here." The nurse replied.
"Thank you." Holden said.
"What did they say?" Carly asked as she and Lily joined them stepping out of ear shot of the kids.
"They are here, and she will let the doctors know we are here." Jack said.
"What happened?" Lily asked.
"Margo just said that the kids were in a wreck and we should get here. She didn't go into any specifics on the phone." Jack said.
"Well why not?" Carly wined.
"Carly, I'm sure we will find out answers soon." Jack responded pulling her into a hug.
"Holden!" Allison Stewart came rushing up with Casey and Kim close behind her. "We just heard about the accident from Margo. Have you heard anything yet?"
"No, the doctors haven't come out yet." He responded.
"Why does all this awful stuff keep happening?" Allison turned to Casey and he hugged her to him. "First Nancy, then Chris, and now this." Allison added into his shoulder.
"Chris?" Lily asked.
"Jack, Carly." Susan Stewart said as she approached. "I've examined Parker. He has two broken ribs, a broken bone in his right arm, a concussion and several contusions. He has been in and out of consciousness since he arrived. I've set his arm; it was a clean break. He will be moved to a hospital room after the nurse finish with the cast."
"Thank you." Jack said relieved.
"When can we see him?" Carly asked.
"As soon as he is moved." Susan answered.
"Have you heard anything about the rest of our kids?" Holden asked.
"I know they are with some of our best doctors. Dr. Dixon is with Abigail, Dr. Hughes is with Faith and Dr. Channing is with Aaron. I'm sure they will let you know something soon."
"John is here?" Holden asked.
"Yes, Dr. Oliver called him in on a consult for…"
"Mom, Dad." Luke called out as he entered the ER followed by Reid, Margo and Tom.
"Luke, oh my god, are you okay? You're covered in blood." Lily asked rushing to him and grabbing him to examine him.
"No, Mom, stop." He said as he pushed her away from him. "I'm fine." He looked down at the blood splattered on his clothing. "It's not mine." He added as Reid placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Luke and Reid saw the accident." Margo said. "They were heading out of town towards Bay City when a drunk driver sped up and passed them."
"The guy never slowed down." Luke said. Reid kept watching Luke to make sure he wasn't going into shock.
"Luke and Reid did triage. Parker and Faith were in the front seat, and Abigail was in the back. Aaron was thrown from the car through the back windshield." Margo finished.
"John, how's Abigail?" Holden asked as he saw the approaching doctor.
"She hasn't regained consciousness. We have removed all the glass shards; none of the cuts require stitches. We are waiting for her blood work to get back before we send her up to x-ray. We need to makes sure she isn't pregnant." John informed them.
"She is pregnant. My wife is pregnant." They all turned towards the voice to see Adam Munson standing there looking straight at his grandfather. "When can I see her?"
"We need to do the x-rays first. How far along is she?" John asked.
"A few weeks. We just found out a couple of days ago." Adam replied.
"I'll let you know when you can see her." John said as he headed back to the exam room.
"Thanks for letting me know." Adam addressed Luke. "Abigail wanted to go with Faith and Parker to pick Aaron up at the airport, and I told her I would finalize all the arrangement for the dinner party."
"Wait, what do you mean your wife?" Margo abruptly asked her son.
"Yeah, we eloped a few weeks ago. We were going to get you all together and tell you tomorrow before Holden's party." Adam explained.
"Holden's what?" Holden asked.
"It was Abigail and Aaron's idea. We were going to throw a small dinner part for your birthday. It was just going to be our family and Jack's family, including significant others like Carly and Reid." Luke explained.
"Holden, Lily." Bob said as he approached the group.
"How is Faith?" Lily asked.
"Faith needs surgery on her shoulder and left arm, and I have an OR waiting. We also have one waiting for Aaron. I need for you to sign the consent forms." Bob said.
"How bad are they?" Luke asked.
"Faith lost a lot of blood, but we were able to bring her blood count up. She is in stable condition at the moment. Aaron is critical. He lost a lot of blood, and he has a lot of internal injuries. Dr. Channing will do everything he can for your son." Bob answered.
"Okay." Holden said.
"Gretchen has the paperwork for you to sign." Bob said introducing the nurse.
"If you will follow me." Gretchen said.
"We'll watch the kids." Jack assured Holden and Lily. Holden nodded his thanks then with Lily followed the nurse.
"Dr. Oliver, what happened to your hand?" Bob asked.
"He sliced it trying to get to Faith." Luke said. "The medic said he would probably need stitches."
"Allison, can you stitch up Dr. Oliver's hand?" Bob asked.
"Yes, sure." Allison said with a nod.
"Good. I will let you all know once the surgery is completed." Bob said.
"Bob," Luke said, "thanks." Then the watched him head back to the exam room.
TBC
A/N: Adam Munson is Margo's son with the late Hal Munson. Tom and Margo mainly raised him. He is half-brother to Casey through his mom and Parker Snyder and Will Munson through his dad. He and Abigail were teenage sweethearts that grew apart after the left town. This is my way to redeem a character that I had really liked prior to him being ruined by later writers.
