Teddy and Ivy were laughing and chatting it up. Meanwhile Amy and Bob were in the kitchen in one of their romantic moods. Suddenly a scream was heard. Charlie came running into the room.
"Mommy," she said, "Daddy Toby hurt"
Bob and Amy came running into the other room. Toby was screaming in obvious pain. Amy and Bob took one look and immediately saw what was wrong. Toby was lying on the floor and his leg was on the floor separated from his body. Charlie was in tears.
Teddy who had come running when she heard the screaming picked up Charlie and comforted her.
"CALL 911 Bob," Amy ordered, "Ivy get me a bucket of ice and take your belt off. It is important to put pressure on the wound."
Everyone ran to do what she asked.
"Can't you give him something for the pain," Teddy asked.
"No honey," Amy said, "It would interfere with his body. We need to wait until we get to the hospital."
Teddy held back her tears. Ivy took Charlie and handed her to PJ then put her arms around Teddy.
"It's gonna be okay T," she said, "They'll be able to save him and save the leg."
Feeling a wave rush through her Teddy simply nodded. She couldn't even speak. She remembered the angel saying that she would go through distressing times but it would be worth it in the end. She was unsure how that would be possible. What if Toby died? What if they couldn't save his leg.
"T," Ivy said, "For the baby's sake you need to stay calm"
"Yeah well this situation not going on would go far in helping me stay calm," Teddy said, "So would us not having the argument we had last week. You know I didn't drive the car up the pole."
"Of course you didn't," Ivy said, "That was Ray-Ray's handiwork. But you're a heck of a lot stronger emotionally then Ray-Ray is and if I had to listen to him whine I would be guilty of a homicide."
Teddy laughed without humor. Ivy was the only one who knew what was going on. Teddy was visited by an angel 3 days ago. At first she thought she was dreaming but she soon learned she wasn't. She was told that she would bring a daughter into the world within the next nine month and she was to call her name Starlight for the child will bring light in the darkness.
Is this just going to be within my family or deeper then that, Teddy thought to herself.
"Teddy," Amy's voice brought her back to the present day, "Honey I need you and Ivy to watch Charlie. The ambulance is here."
"It's my fault Toby huwt," Charlie said, "I was holding him"
"Charlie it's not your fault," Teddy said, "Something fell on top of him. It would have happened no matter who was holding him."
"But I moved so it wouldn't huwt me," Charlie said, "I bad sister."
Teddy lifted Charlie up and brought her to meet her eyes.
"Charlie Mia Duncan you are not a bad sister. You are a great sister. Even if you didn't move this could have happened. Understand?"
"Okay Teddy," Charlie said, "I sowy."
"Hey," Ivy said, "Lets get you some ice cream Charlie"
"Pizza," Charlie said.
"Pizza it is," Ivy said, T should we go out or order in?"
"We'd better go out," Teddy said, "Charlie needs to get her mind off of this. She's obviously freaking out."
In addition Teddy hadn't gotten out of the house in awhile and she needed to. Ivy nodded.
"Come on Chocho Charlie," she said tickling Charlie. Charlie giggled.
"So we go out," Ivy said, "and then we eat the pizza and come back."
"Or we could take Charlie to the amusement park," Teddy said, "Super Adventureland"
"T," Ivy said, "Do you really think we can handle Charlie at Super Adventureland?"
"Uh-huh," Teddy said, "Look this really freaked her out."
Ivy sighed but she knew that Teddy was right. Teddy's phone rang.
"Oh my gosh," Teddy said, "It's Spencer."
She picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Teddy," Spencer said, "I'm back from my vacation early. I thought I could come over and we could... you know... hang out together?"
