Hi guys, here's chapter four of Small Bump. I'm now on summer break so hopefully I will be able to update multiple times a week but no promises. Hope you enjoy this story and many of my other stories that I will be posting shortly. Thanks for all of your feedback.
Blair woke up the next morning with the intention of spending the day with Henry to make sure that he was ok about them having an addition to the family. Chuck left early for the office as he had a meeting with a real estate agent about one of his hotel deals. So it would just be Blair and Henry for breakfast and then they would spend the day going around the city doing Henrys favorite things.
They finished breakfast and Blair called the car service so it would be ready for them. Henry and Blair went to the park where they fed the ducks and then Blair took him to some of the museums that he liked. Then they went to lunch and had plans of going to a few stores to get some new clothes for the entire family.
They got into the limo and it started driving down the block. As the limo rounded the corner a taxi drove through a red light and hit the limo. Blair and Henry were hit by the impact and became unconscious immediately. Arthur got out and called an ambulance and then tried to see if he could help the two Bass's.
Chuck was in a meeting and was unaware of the accident three blocks from his office. He heard an ambulance drive by the building but that was a normal sound in this city. Chuck didn't think of it and continued on with his presentation. He was about to join in on a conference call when an assistant came into the room looking like she had seen a ghost.
"Mr. Bass, I need to speak with you outside. I'm sorry for the interruption but it's urgent."
"Natalie, I told you to only bother me if it's about my family so I can take this later."
"Mr. Bass it is about your family. There's been an accident."
"What? Involving who?"
"Your wife and son sir. They were taken to Lennox Hill. Would you like me to call the car for you?"
"Yes and please cancel the rest of my day."
At the hospital, Blair and Henry were taken to the emergency room. They were both in critical condition. Blair was in worse shape as she was closer to the impact. Arthur had let the paramedics know that she was pregnant but the paramedic said that it would be unlikely for the baby to survive after this type of trauma.
Chuck came rushing into the hospital and saw Arthur sitting in the emergency room. He rushed over to him and asked where his wife and son were.
"Henry is in the OR right now because he has internal bleeding and Blair is still being worked on in the emergency room. I'm so sorry Mr. Bass."
"Arthur I'm sure it's not your fault but how did this happen?"
"A cab ran a red light and hit the limo as we were turning a corner. It was all so sudden."
Just then a doctor came out and approached Chuck and Arthur.
"Mr. Bass, hello I'm your sons doctor. He just got out of surgery where we cared for his internal bleeding. We were able to get it under control as well as reset two of his ribs and his right arm. He did well and he is resting comfortably in recovery right now. A nurse can bring you to him in a little bit. Henry should make a full recovery and should be released in a week or two."
"Thank you doctor, and can you tell me any information regarding my wife?"
"All I can tell you is that she is still being worked on in the trauma room but I haven't been on the case so I can't be of much help."
So now Chuck would have to wait for another doctor to tell him about his wife and his son/daughter. He hoped that they were both safe and still alive.
