"Jason can come get her," Trevor replied, "I heard he's coming over any way to pick up some clothes for Tommy," he noted as he tried to calm Sammy's nerves.
"Okay, I'll be waiting at the door," she said as she wiped her eyes from sudden tears.
Kayla had woken up from her nap. She sat up and looked at Sammy who had just gotten off the phone with Trevor. She didn't know how to react to Sammy's tears, but give her a hug.
Sammy smiled a little as she hugged back. She stretched and placed her arm around Kayla as she snuggled her teddy bear. The teddy bear was given to her from Tommy the day she was born.
Flashback – Kayla's birth
"C'mon Riss! Push!" Tommy coached his uncle's wife, "C'mon, Aunt Riss! The baby's coming out now," he continued coaching her.
Rissa pushed with all her might. With every push and sweat, she pushed once more. Before she or John knew it, a baby girl was born. The doctor had delivered a healthy baby girl into the world.
The soft cries filled the room as the happy couple kissed each other. A new life was born and a little one was brought into the Perkins' world. As the doctor handed Marissa her six pound eight ounce bundle of joy, Tommy smiled softly at his new cousin who cooed softly.
"Tommy would you like to hold the baby?" his aunt asked as she held her daughter softly in her arms.
Tommy nodded and held out his arms to his baby cousin. The newborn looked at him softly as he rocked her back and forth as she slept in his arms. As he laid the sleeping baby in her bassinette, he placed a soft brown teddy bear with a red bow tie next to her.
End of flashback
The sounds of sirens blazed into the race track. Tommy was still unconscious as Julia had noted the paramedics about his accident. John had noted to his technicians that he would be at the hospital. Stan and the rest of Tommy's pit crew watched as Tommy was being escorted into the ambulance.
As it drove away, many applauds overfilled the crowd. The rest of Tommy's friends had headed to their cars as they followed to the Angel Grove Memorial Hospital. Jason was first to arrive at the Perkins' home.
Ding dong
"I'll get it," Kayla said as she raced over to the door.
Bernie, the butler shook his head as he saw a little girl run up to the door. As he opened the door, Jason swooped Kayla into his arms. Kayla giggled as she embraced her cousin's best friend who smothered her in kisses.
Sammy watched as the two bonded. They two laughed and began tickle frenzy. Kayla screamed with a loud giggle as Jason tickled her again. He looked up and gave a concerned look to Sammy.
"Is everything alright at the track?" she asked, "Trevor stated it was an urgent matter," she noted as she closed the door behind them.
Bernie had left the room and tended to his duties. Jason put Kayla down as she ran off to the living room. Jason hugged Sam tightly as some tears rolled down his face.
Sam looked at him as she began to tear as well. Her eyes began to well up again as a quiver came to her lips. She softly sobbed as she embraced Jason.
Meanwhile, back at the hospital, the doctors had got a call-in from the paramedics about a young teenage boy that was in a state of shock. The medic team raced to the entrance of the hospital. As they waited, the sound of the AG Medics came in with the young man.
"What do we have here?" Dr. Sullivan stated as he grabbed his stethoscope.
As his medical squad surrounded Tommy, they examined him carefully as they bandaged up his wounds. Dr. Sullivan, who was a well-known doctor at Angel Grove Memorial, examined Tommy making sure he was alright.
"His name is Tommy Oliver, he was in a freak accident today," one of the medics said as they showed the stat chart, "His race car was reared on both sides, but we managed to get him out," he continued.
"We might have to examine him further," Dr. Sullivan mentioned, "Hopefully, we'll have answer for this," he replied.
The rest of the hospital crew nodded. Tommy laid there lifeless as his body was being examined. His body couldn't comprehend what was happening, but he feared the worst. As his emotions drew him with fear, he could only comprehend mentally what was happening, but couldn't decipher it.
Tommy's friends sat in the waiting area as they waited on the news of their friend. John sat next to the door grasping his nephew's race jacket. He held it close as he thought of the many memories that instilled in his mind.
Flashback
Tommy was about sixteen when he had asked his uncle about living with him. His adopted parents, Chris and Janice Oliver had offered John to take care of their son while they were on many business trips. One was during Chris' trip to Poland.
"You want me to take care of Tommy?" John asked as he saw the sixteen- year old sitting in the car, "Why Chris?" he asked.
"John, we're leaving for Poland this week. Tommy will have to readjust to a new school and we want what's best for him," Chris replied as he motioned to his son.
Tommy came out of the car. He walked up to the Perkins' residence as he shook hands with his infamous uncle. Chris knew that John would be a great guardian for the time being. He knew that things would be right.
End of flashback
As John continued having his flashbacks, Jason had entered in with Kayla and Sammy. The girls embraced Tommy's friends as they waited on the news. Each sat in their respective seats as they waited as the minutes ticked away.
"Daddy, where's Tommy?" Kayla asked as she sat on her father's lap, "I wanna see him," she grinned widely as she saw her father look away.
John didn't say a word. He looked at his daughter as she clutched her teddy bear and gave her a faint smile. He kissed her forehead and silently prayed that things would be alright.
Tanya and Adam clutched each other's hand as they sat talking to Billy and Kat. Sam and Jason looked at each other with worry; Aisha and Rocky waited with the rest of them.
Suddenly, the doctors had come into the waiting room. With everything they had expected to explain to John and Tommy's friends, loud cries had entered the room.
"I need to see John Perkins in the next room, please," Dr. Millers said as he came out holding Tommy's charts.
John stood up and placed Kayla next to Kat and Billy. He followed Dr. Millers into the hall to hear the news. As the men began to talk, a slight tear entered John's face.
"Will he be alright?" he asked.
