TUESDAY JULY 8 2025

CHARLIE 'S POV

I was sitting in the living room with Heather and some of my friends watching TV while the twins sat on the floor playing when the doorbell rang.

"Ugh, I'll get it." I groaned as I got up. I walked over and opened the door seeing two police men standing in front of me.

"Oh great… What did Toby do this time?" I asked rolling my eyes.

"Are your parents home Miss?" One of the officers asked.

"Ugh no, but if it's about my little brother I will deal with him."

"Actually, it's about something else."

"Oh let me guess, it's my other brother Gabe huh? What did he do this time? Is he in jail?"

"Do you know a Teddy?" The second officer immediately asked.

"Uh-huh. She's my sister, but she isn't here either."

"That's my mom, what happened?" Heather asked overhearing us.

"Heather shhh… the grownups are talking."I said. "What did Teddy do?"

"Ugh it's not what she did it's what happened to her." The one officer said.

I gave them a confused look.

"I'm sorry to inform you but your sister, Teddy, got in a car accident and is currently in the hospital."

I gasped. "H-How serious was the accident?"

"A car ran a stop sign and rammed into the car on the passenger side."

"Oh My Gosh, is she okay?"

"She is in stable condition and that is all we know."

"Oh good. Thanks for coming and telling me."

They both nodded and left.

"Charlie, what was that about?" Heather asked.

"Umm…" I stared down at my phone. "I need to make a quick phone call in the kitchen." I said leaving the room. I decided I should probably call mom since she will know what to do.

"Hey Charlie, is something wrong?"

"Actually yeah Mom, it's about Teddy."

"Teddy? What happened?"

"Like five minutes ago two cops rung our doorbell so I got up to answer it. They told me Teddy got into a pretty serious car accident and is currently in the hospital."

"Is this a joke Charlie?"

"No, no… Why would I joke about something like this? They said a car ran a stop sign and rammed into the passenger side of her car."

"Oh my, do you know if she had to kids with her?"

"No, Heather and the twins are over here and Luke is with PJ and Sky still."

"Alright, well meet me at the hospital and I will call your father."

"Do you want me to bring Heather and the babies?"

"Yeah just bring them but don't tell them what happened until we know how serious her condition is okay?"

"Okay Mom. See you in a few." I said as I hung up. I walked back into the living room where everyone else was. "So umm… Stace, Loni, and Cassie, you guys gotta go and Heather we gotta go too."

"Is everything okay Char?" Stace asked.

"Umm… I don't know but I have to go meet my mom somewhere."

"We'll text you later." They all said and left the house.

"Charlie, where are we going?"

I swallowed. "The hospital."

"Why?" She asked confused.

"Ugh, my mom will tell you. Can you grab Landy and Ellie while I grab my purse and the keys?"

She nodded and I ran up to my room. I grabbed my purse and the keys to one of the cars and we left. When we got to the hospital, we went up to the receptionist to see what room Teddy was in.

"Hello, how may I help you?" The middle age woman said.

"Hi, umm… can you tell me what room my sister Teddy umm… either Duncan or Walsh is in."

"Sure thing, what is the patient's name again?"

"Teddy umm… I don't know what last name she is using or whoever used to check her in but it's either Duncan or Walsh."

"Oh here we are. Teddy Walsh, second floor room 34."

"Thanks. Come on Heather."

"Charlie, I want to know what happened to my mom, and I want to know now!"

"I told you my mom will tell you or someone will. I'm not the person in place to tell you. I'm just the what you call it…"

She rolled her eyes and we got in into the elevator.

HEATHER'S POV

I just wished someone would tell me what is happening. I mean, I'm not a baby anymore, I think I can handle whatever is happening. When we got out of the elevator, I saw my Grandma talking to the doctor outside I guess my mom's room. We walked over to her right as the the doctor left.

"Grammy, what happened to mom?" I asked as I gave her Ellie and Charlie gave her Andy.

She knelt down to my level. "Umm, Sweetie, you mother got into a car accident but before you freak out or anything, she is fine but she does have a small concussion and some cut and bruises."

"Can I see her?"

"Umm about that…" Before she could finish I went inside her room.

"Mom!"

She gave me a strange look as if she didn't know who I was or who I was talking to.

"Heather Honey, come here." Grammy said pulling me out of the room. "Your mother has amnesia, which means memory lost."

"What do you mean? She doesn't remember me?" I asked confused.

"As of right now, she doesn't really remember any of us just me and possibly a few other people just depends."

I started to cry. "Will she ever get her memory back?"

"Hopefully yes, but it could be a while."

"A while?! Like how long a while?!"

"It could be days, weeks, even months."

I ran off and sat in the waiting room area. I was crying because what if mom never regain her memory? I won't have her as a mom anymore because she won't remember me or any of my siblings. I took out my phone and decided to call my dad to tell him what happened. But when I got sent to voice mail I realized he was probably doing a show or something so I just sent him a text instead.

H: Daddy, Mom's in the hospital! )':

SPENCER'S POV

I was in the middle of doing a meet and greet/ signing when I got a text from my daughter. I almost dropped my phone when I read what the text said.

"M-Mike… Can I take a quick break? I need to call my daughter real quick."

"Is it important?" He asked.

"Ugh yeah kinda."

"Alright, go ahead."

I walked towards the back, pacing back and forth because I was anxious to know what happened or is happening and why she was in the hospital. I stopped when I heard my daughter's voice.

"Daddy!" She shouted into the phone sounding sad.

"Hey, what happened to mom?" I asked.

"S-She's in the h-hospital." She stuttered.

"Yeah I know, what happened though. Is she okay?"

"Does losing your memory sound okay to you? And she has a small concussion I guess and scrapes and bruises."

"Wait, she has amnesia?"

"Uh-Huh. She doesn't even remember me! She gave me a strange look when I called her mom like I was crazy or something! Like how could she forget about me? I mean I was the one who ruined her life!"

"Heather, you didn't ruin her life, but what happened? What caused her to be in the hospital?"

"Car accident, but nobody told me exactly what happened."

"Alright, well I will find out more what happened from someone else I guess…"

"Daddy, can you please come?" Her voice was becoming shaky as she said that.

"I'll see what I can do, but I'm not sure."

"Please, you have four kids here without a mom now for who knows how long!"

"I'll talk to Mike to see what I can do but I will talk to you later okay? I love you guys."

"Kay… love you. Bye."

I hung up and was ready just to ball my eyes out. What happened to thirty not being so bad? Teddy probably jinxed it when she said that. So far thirty hasn't been kind to either of us, but more to her now. She's in the hospital with amnesia and that's all I know, which I hate. I need to know more. But more importantly my kids need me more than ever now.

"Spencer, is everything alright?" Mike asked.

"No… everything is not alright. I need to go to Denver."

"Spencer you can't… we can't cancel more shows."

"You don't understand though, Teddy, my wife or whatever we are considered now, was in a pretty serious car accident and is in the hospital. She lost her memory and now my kids need me more than ever since she doesn't know who they are. I need to fly tonight."

"Oh I see. How about you just leave this event for the airport and I can or you can through your social media sites tell everyone why you left so soon and I will deal with your other events."

I nodded and basically ran out of the building to the hotel to get my things and headed to the airport. I texted my daughter before I got onto the airplane saying I'll be there in a few hours and off I went. I just hope and pray Teddy will recover her memory soon because I don't know what I would do if she doesn't.

HEATHER'S POV

"How long are we going to be here for?" I asked. "I'm so bored."

"When your dad gets here, you and your siblings can leave then with him." My grandpa said.

"I don't see why I have to be here, or why we all have to be here if she doesn't even remember us." Toby said.

"Toby shut up, she is our sister. You know if it was you…" Charlie said throwing a magazine at him.

"That's enough you two." Their father said. "It's hard enough as it is and you two aren't helping. Why don't you two just head home and we will be back later."

"Ugh fine. Come on Toby." Charlie said getting up.

"Finally."

"Hey Spencer, Bye Spencer." Charlie and Toby both said walking past him.

"Ugh bye guys." He said a kind of confused.

"Wait... was that just..."

"Charlie come on, the elevator is here." Toby said.

"Oh well..."

I was sitting in the chair playing with my hair, bored out of my mind when I heard my dad's voice. I jumped out of my seat and ran over to him and hugged him. "Daddy!"

"Hey Sweetie." He said hugging me back. "Where's Luke and the twins?" He immediately asked.

"Luke is with Sky and PJ and Andy and Ellie is with Grammy in there with mom."

"Okay, well I'm gonna go get them and then we can go."

"Can I come with you?"

"Yeah come on."

SPENCER'S POV

I slowly opened the door to Teddy's room with Heather right behind me and I saw Teddy in her bed awake with her mom right next to her holding the two babies.

"Oh Hey Spencer." Amy Duncan said as she saw me. "What are you doing here?"

"Didn't Heather tell you I was coming when I heard what happened?"

"Oh right… So I'm guessing you want to take the twins?"

"Mhmm." I said as I walked over to them.

Teddy kept staring at me probably thinking who the hell is he? Or she was trying to remember who I was.

"Dada!" They both said holding their arms out to me. I grabbed them out of Amy's arms and gave them both kisses on the cheek.

"Teddy you remember Spencer don't you?" She asked her totally confused daughter.

She kept staring at me. "Kinda." She said softly.

I smiled when she said that. At least she didn't totally forget about me, but I wonder how much she does remember.

"How about I leave you two alone for a bit?" Amy suggested.

I nodded and she left taking Heather with her. I sat in the chair beside Teddy's bed holding the twins on my lap. There was silence in the room for a moment before she broke it.

"So umm… if you're their father and I'm their mother does that mean we're married or?" She asked quietly.

I nodded and smiled. "Yeah we are or at least I hope we still are."

She looked down at her left hand and didn't see her wedding ring or anything.

"If we're married, how come I don't wear a wedding ring?"

I stuck my hand in my pant pockets and pulled her rings out. I've always carried them with me ever since she gave them back to me. "That's because I have them. You kinda gave it back to me."

"W-Why would I do that?"

"It doesn't matter why but that you're okay. Would you like them back?"

She nodded and grabbed them out of my hands and placed them on her left hand. I smiled when she did.

"Can I ask you something?" She asked.

"Of course anything."

"How many kids do we have and how long have we been together for?"

"We've been together since we were 17 so almost fifteen years and married for about ten and we have four kids."

"Why so many?"

I laughed a little."Umm… I really don't know, but I should really get going now."

"Will I see you tomorrow?"

"If you want me to come then I will come." I said smiling.

"I want you to."

"Then I will."

I got up from where I was sitting and kissed the top of her head and walked out of the room with the twins and left with Heather.
