chapter 53...
A little while later brad walked into carly's hospitalroom just after carly had fallen asleep;"Hi,how's my sister-in-law doing?"
"Not all that good,brad,doctor schiller wants her to stay for atleast a couple of days."answered his brother as he quickly took him out into the hallway;"How are the kids doing and what did you tell them?"
"I haven't told them anything yet,except for parker because he was in the room with me when you called and I made him promise not to tell j.j. and sage anything yet."said he;"What happened at the policestation?"
"Margo told us about Katie finding sage,brad,which by the way you forgot to tell us about,and carly kind of freaked out about that,so I got her to go outside and let me handle talking to margo about it."started jack slowly;"Then we suddenly heard carly and Katie outside and when we got to them carly was laying on the ground,unconscious,with Katie standing over her,so I called an ambulance and we ended up here."
"So,what does that mean,jack,that your wife and your ex had it out or something?"asked his brother surprised;"Did Katie do this to carly?"
"She said she didn't do anything and carly said the same thing more or less,so I guess this had nothing to do with Katie."answered he suddenly grabbing brad's arm;"It would have been nice knowing about Katie finding sage before walking into that policestation!"
"I'm sorry,jack,I know I should have told you guys,but I wasn't sure if I should and there wasn't any proof that she had anything to do with sage disappearing."said brad a bit guilty;"Maybe if I had said something then carly wouldn't be laying here now."
"It was stupid of you not to say something,brad,but what happened wasn't your fault and I guess it's a good thing that carly ended up here because she had been pretending to be fine all this time while she wasn't."started his brother tired when doctor schiller came towards them;"Hi,doctor schiller,carly fell asleep."
"Were you able to convince carly that it's better for her and the baby if she stays here for atleast a couple of days?"asked she;"It really is the best thing."
"I think I was able to convince her,doctor schiller,or atleast I hope so."answered jack with a faint smile;"By the way,can I ask you a question about carly?"
"Sure and I will answer it if I can."smiled his wife's doctor;"What is it,jack?"
"Carly has been really exhausted for weeks and I know of atleast one time that she nearly fainted just like she did today,so does that mean that it was all because of what you said was wrong with her earlier?"started he hesitating;"Could this have been going on for a while?"
"It is possible that her bloodpressure has been too high for a while and that could cause exhaustion as well as dizzyspells among other things and ofcourse at one point that could lead to pre-eclampsia and that is dangerous to both the mother and baby."said doctor schiller as she put her hand on jack's shoulder;"But don't worry,jack,atleast we know about it now and we can do our best to make sure that carly gets all better again."
"Thanks,doctor schiller."answered her patient's husband;"I'm glad carly is getting the help that she needs now."
"You're welcome."started she and looked at her watch;"I have to go to a meeting now,but I'll be back to check on your wife later on and if there's anything else you can always have me paged."
And off she walked,leaving jack and brad outside of carly's room.
At the policestation Katie was sitting in an interogationroom with margo;"How long are you going to keep me here,margo?"
"As long as it takes for me to find out the truth!"said she tired;"You don't seem to understand in what kind of trouble you are right now,Katie!"
"I didn't do anything!"answered her sister;"I didn't hurt carly and I sure as hell didn't kidnap sage or anything,so why am I still here?"
"Why do you think?"asked margo;"Sage is missing and all of a sudden you show up with her hours later and you just happen to find her out in the snyder-barn,where you have no business being at night,Katie,and today we find carly out cold on the ground while you're standing over her just after we hear you guys yelling at eachother."
"For the last time,margo,I didn't kidnap sage and I didn't hurt carly!"yelled she angry and got up;"I'm going home!"
"No,you're not and if you walk out of that door I will arrest you!"warned her sister Katie;"This isn't a game or something,Katie,this is serious and if it turns out that you had something to do with these things then you could go to jail!"
"But I didn't have anything to do with any of that,margo,I would never kidnap a kid and I didn't lay a hand on carly today!"started Katie again as she sat back down;"It's no secret that I don't like carly,but I wouldn't attack her or anything or kidnap her daughter!"
"What would you do to get back at her?"said she hesitating;"Would you pull stupid pranks at her club or would you set the storageroom on fire with her in it or place a cruel piece in the newspaper about carly being dead or would you cancel her honeymoon?"
"What?"asked her sister shocked;"What the hell are you accusing me off?"
"Just tell me the truth!"answered margo softly;"Look me in the eye and tell me the truth,katie,did you have anything to do with any of those things?"
"I'm not gonna even answer that question and I can't believe you have the nerve to ask me that!"said she angry while she got back up and walked away;"Arrest me if you like,but i've had enough of this and I'm going home!"
"Katie!"called her sister on after her;"This isn't just gonna go away!"
Out at the snyderfarm emma was preparing dinner when parker walked in with j.j. and they were fighting about something;"Hey,calm down,boys,what's going on?"
"Parker was being mean to sage just now."answered j.j. as he looked angry at parker;"He said that it was her fault that mom and dad came home early from their honeymoon."
"Is that true?"asked his dad's aunt shocked and turned towards parker;"Why would you do a mean thing like that,parker?"
"I wasn't lying or anything!"said he angry;"If she hadn't been stupid enough to let somebody grab her then they wouldn't have had to come home and then mom wouldn't be…."
"Parker!"warned emma him quickly;"That's enough and it isn't fair to blame your sister for any of that and I want you to go upstairs to think about what you did for a while."
"Fine,aunt emma!"answered her nephew's son and went upstairs;"Whatever!"
"Where is sage?"asked she while turning towards j.j. a bit worried;"Could you go get her for me?"
"She's outside,crying."started j.j. hesitating;"What did parker want to say about mom?"
"Probaly that she was upset about cutting the honeymoon short."said his dad's aunt lying because she knew jack would wanna be the one to tell the kids about carly being in the hospital;"But your parents would have been more upset if they hadn't been told about sage being missing and none of this is your sister's fault,j.j."
"I'll go get sage."answered he and walked away;"I'll be back right away with her."
