A Cry in the Night - Chapter Thirty-six
A few days have passed since the tragic tornado that devastated Wisteria Lane. Within those few days many things were discovered that put many of the housewives on edge.
For one only two bodies were taken out of Katherine Mayfair's home. Unbeknownst to the housewives there was a total of three people in the house. However, something some of the residents noticed was that Ben Horton was mysteriously missing.
Gaby soon got a hold of an officer and asked about her sister. The officer revealed to her that a woman matching her description was never found but stated "chances are highly unlikely" that she survived the tornado.
Something many housewives looked over was the massive amount of construction workers and the accelerated speed of their work on the old Young house.
Last but not least was the surprising guest that visited Katherine Mayfair. When Katherine awoke she was pleasantly surprised to see Dylan sitting at her bedside.
Present Time:
"I heard on the answering machine that the doctors were…" Tom starts to say.
"I'm busy" Kayla says cutting him off.
"Kayla, this is really important. You need to see the…"
"With Patrick and everything. I just have to much to do. I don't have time to be schlepping over there" she says with hand motion.
Tom realizes it's a losing fight with someone in denial.
"Mike, the doctors told you no medication" Susan says.
"It hurts like hell" Mike says sitting up in the hospital bed holding his arm.
"It's for your own good…"
"I don't think this doctor really knows what he's talking about anyway."
"Well…" Susan pauses. "I'm going down to the vending machine. Some food in you and you'll be feeling better."
Susan leaves the hospital room. Halfway down the hall Mike's doctor stops her.
"Mrs. Delfino" he calls.
"Yes. Oh doctor" she says turning around.
"I just want to make sure you went over all the medication that was prescribed to your husband?"
"Oh yes. Don't worry he knows what he needs to take" she says nervously smiling.
Katherine Mayfair was returning home. Dylan Mayfair was by her side helping her back into her house. They open the door and are welcomed by several neighbors not to mention Dylan's husband and child.
"Oh, what's this?" Katherine asks.
"We helped out a little" Dylan says.
"We could have you coming back to a disastrous house" Bree says walking up to Katherine with a basket of muffins.
"How… helpful of everyone" Katherine replies with a sinister smile.
Later that day.
"Mom!" Penny calls.
"Mom!" Parker shouts louder.
Lynette begins to get frustrated.
"One second" she replies from her upstairs bathroom. She takes out a pill and swallows it with no problem. She turns and glances out the window. She notices a figure that catches her attention. She goes closer to the window and gets a good look at the figure.
She whispers a name to herself shocked.
"Mom!" Penny shouts as you hear a plate shatter downstairs.
"I'm coming!" Lynette shouts as she glances back out the window and the figure is gone.
The next day.
Susan and Mike return home from the hospital. They are greeted by M.J., Julie, Adam, and the newborn baby girl.
Susan rushed upstairs to make sure everything is prepared for Mike so he can rest. Before she makes the sheets and blankets all neat she tucks the medication list from the doctor in her dresser drawer, hidden from Mike.
The doorbell rings.
Katherine answers her door. Bree stands.
"Hello Katherine. I hope I'm not bothering you" she says with her hands clenched.
Katherine nods. "What is it?"
"Well, I'm not saying you do drugs but yesterday when I arrived for the cleanup we found quite a surprise" Bree starts.
"Drugs? Are you sure you're not taking any?"
"I beg your pardon" Bree says getting somewhat angered. "I was just…"
"Look Bree, I remember very little from what happened directly before the tornado but I assure you I am not a drug user."
"That's all" Bree nods.
Later that day.
Susan is in the kitchen cooking dinner… well, more like getting the takeout menus.
Julie stumbles her way down the stairs wearing pajamas and a robe.
Susan glances up at her daughter.
"What's this?" she asks.
"I've just been so tired and exhausted lately" she reveals.
"A newborn will do that to you."
"I just wish…" she says stopping herself. Susan stares at her. Julie sits down at the table. Susan walks over to her.
"Julie, whatever you and Adam are going through just know that Mike and I are always here for you" she says grabbing her hand.
"I know mom" Julie says.
It's silent for a few seconds.
"How does Chinese sound?" Susan says grabbing the phone.
As mother nature subsided, the residents of Wisteria Lane were changing their outlook on life.
Bree went on more dates with Harrison and was contemplating her answer if he ever asked for her hand in marriage.
Susan sat across from Mike as he ached in pain. In her heart she knew she was doing the right thing though.
That night Julie and Adam sat on either sides of the bed. Both slumped over in pajamas acting as if neither was in the room.
The next morning Tom knew he could no longer depend on anyone except himself as he spoke to a realtor. Later that day a "sold" sign was placed on a house on Wisteria Lane.
And Kayla Huntington…
"Huntington" the nurse calls out.
Kayla walks into the doctors office.
"Kayla, you're finally here. I'm happy to see you."
"Yea… I just made time…"
After a few seconds.
"Unfortunately, I have some bad news…" the doctor starts off.
And one person was making a huge change in his life and it all started when his car pulled up to the old Young house which was just about to be called the new Young house and he knew the lives of the residents of Wisteria Lane were to never be the same.
I really hope everyone enjoyed this chapter! I think a lot of juicy things are developing for most of the characters and will continue to escalate in the future chapters. I have things planned for the housewives which will ultimately change the direction of their lives! Thank-you again everyone.
