Chapter 50
Everyone was so excited about rock climbing, especially the kids. They were all up and ready without one complaint and the mothers knew they would have to let their kids try at least. They couldn't be the one to crush their excitement. When everyone ate they breakfast and had the gear on, they all headed to the bus. Once there everyone finished putting the lines through their gears and listen to instruction.
"Alright now we need partners." The instructor said motioning for the adult to take a child.
"Ed you take care of him." Sophie said worried.
"We be ok, mom." Clark said.
"Yeah we man take care of each other." Ed said and he and Clark high five.
"Daddy, can I go with you?" Samantha asked shyly.
"Of course, baby." Sam said and grabs his partner.
"Can I go with Uncle Michael?" Matthew asked.
"My little man, of course you can." Michael said and he high five him.
"I am going with Aunt Charlie." Valerie said and grabs Charlie hand.
"The girl doesn't even bother to ask." Jules said and everyone laugh. "What about me?"
"Take me auntie Jules." Allie Wordy daughter said.
"Yes honey." Jules said and grab her partner. Then the instructor makes sure everyone was partner with a child. Justin took his daughter and Katherine. Jonathan and his wife took one child each while Spike and Natalie took the other two. Jeremiah and his wife took they last set of twins while Donna and her fiancé took they first set of twins. And last Jamie and his wife took both of their kids while Lou and his girlfriend took Wordy second child. Wordy took his oldest daughter, while the youngest and last child stay behind with Shelby, Sophie, Greg and Justin wife.
"Ok here we go." Sam said.
"Mom makes sure you get pictures and you could see us climbing through the camera." Clark said excited.
"Yes baby, please be careful." Sophie said and kisses him.
"I will mom." He said and follows his father.
"They will be alright." Greg said and watches them leave through the forest. "Let go inside and watch the camera.
"At least this place have camera to watch they process. This is really good place, more expensive but better." Justin wife said.
"It was good of Sam to pick this one." Shelby said.
"He is really considerate of people feelings." Greg said and with that they sat down in front of the monitors that show their families. Half hour later the group was almost half way through the mountain.
"Damn they weren't kidding. They really are good. Those Braddock and Callaghan are like monkeys. Look how fast they climb." Sophie said and they all nod.
"Valerie is giving Charlie a run for her money and so is Matthew and let not talk about Samantha to Sam. Those two are racing ahead of everyone." Justin wife said.
"Oh look at my babies. They look so cute." Shelby said looking at her girls.
"Even though I was scare about Clark doing it, I am glad he is. Like that he gets the experience. Plus is a great bonding for him and Ed." Sophie said looking at her guys.
"I know what you mean. It is so hard when we're home. We always have so many things to do and less time to spend it like this." Shelby said.
"Yeah, we need more time like this." Sophie said and they all agree and continue watching the group climb.
When the group reaches the top they were so excited, especially the kids. They felt like they were on top of the world.
"It is beautiful up here." Natalie said.
"Yes it is." Spike said and hugs her to him. Jonathan and his wife were also mesmerized and where hugging their four kids together too just like everyone else.
"Said hi to mommy." Wordy said to his girls and they all said hi in the camera. "We miss you up here." Wordy said and Shelby tears started coming down her eyes. Her family was so excited.
"Mom we made it ok." Clark yells into the camera too.
"Oh baby." Sophie said and also started crying. Even though they couldn't hear them Ed knew Sophie was a mess.
"We'll be down soon." He said and she nods like they weren't so many feet apart.
"They look amazing." Michael said and hugs Charlie to him.
"They?" Charlie said and looks up to his face.
"Sam and his family. This view is nice and we have seeing better. But there is no better view than the smile on Sam face holding his wife and his four kids." Michael said.
"I love you so much. I was thinking the same thing. There isn't a better view than the smile on his face and his family." Charlie said and kisses him. Then they look around and each family was hugging and kissing on top of the mountain. And that made her happy, that after everything they went through they could still have that.
"Thank you, daddy." Samantha said and hugs both her parents.
"Thank you to you guys. You guys are my life." Sam said and hugs them back.
"This is amazing and you guys are amazing and I glad you guys are my family. I love you guys so much." Katherine said with tears.
"We love you too." Jules said and they all hug.
"Ok everyone group picture." Jonathan said and everyone gather around to take picture.
"Look guys that far mountain out there to your left is a dormant volcano." The instructor said.
"Oh that's so cool." Jeremiah twins yell.
"Yep. And the one to the right is an active."
"Isn't scary to be surrounded by volcanos?" Wordy oldest asked the instructor and everyone nod in agreement.
"It is but you get used to it. I guess when you live here your hold life you think nothing would happen." The instructor said and everyone understood.
"Alright time to go down. It's getting late." Jonathan said and everyone agree.
"Mommy I don't feel so good." Valerie said and everyone was concern. Jeremiah checks on her and she seems fatigue.
"It was too much for her climbing. She needs rest." Jeremiah said.
"Why is taking her so long to recover? I was never that bad." Sam asked concern.
"She was born with complication with the accident." Justin said.
"What accident?" Sam said and looks at everyone.
"You don't know?" Jamie asked warily.
"I didn't meet her until a few months ago. What accident?" Sam asked again and looks at Jules.
"Tell you later, we have to go." Jules said and he stared at her before he nods.
"I could take her down faster and have her with an oxygen tank down at the office." The instructor said.
"I'll take her." Sam said and motion for Valerie to stand in front of him. He pick her up and she wrap her tiny arms around his neck and her leg around his waist and then Charlie help them get the gear attach.
"You ready baby." Sam said.
"Yes. Bye mommy." Valerie said and hold on tight.
"Be careful." Jules said and kiss Valerie head and then Sam.
"We will." Sam said before he jumps down the hill.
"Whoa." All the kids said excited.
"He did pretty well." The instructor said with admiration in his voice.
"He's Special Forces, of course he did." Natalie said and watch how Michael and Charlie were holding the rope to make sure Sam get down alright. A few minutes later they felt a tug and she knew they were safe.
"They made it down already." Charlie said.
"He is quick." Lou said.
"Nothing gets you moving faster than your child in need." Wordy said and all the parents agree.
"Ok guys let make our way down." Ed said and with that they took they partner and when down the mountain.
Sam was glad he reaches down quick. Valerie was fatigue and out of breath. When he walks in to office he notices that Greg was already there with staff and oxygen.
"Oh thank god." Sam said.
"We figure she got sick." Greg said and they rush to put oxygen in her. He sat down with her in his arm and watches how his baby breathes deeply and hallow.
"She will be alright." Sophie said and brushes her hair from her face. A few minutes later she was asleep in Sam arms. The staff when outside to wait for the group and make sure everyone was alright too.
"Before they get here explain to me about the accident. Jules won't tell me every detail and I want to know everything." Sam said to Greg.
"You don't know?"
"No I don't know, what the hell happened?' Sam snaps and then remembers Valerie in his arm and tries to calm down.
"Sam." Sophie said.
"What is wrong with my baby? What happened?" Sam whispers.
"When Jules was almost nine months pregnant, she was driving with the kids and Katherine adoptive mom hit into her. Katherine mom was real bad and she watches her die. Jules went unconscious and was rush to the hospital. The kids and Katherine were alright but there were complication with Jules. She hit her side and Valerie wasn't getting any oxygen. On top of that she was born with the heart condition and it wasn't helping her. Anyway Valerie was put on observation for a month and were warm that she might develop asthmas and be fatigue and breathless until she has her heart surgery."
"She already had it, why is she still getting like that."
"It has to be the last few days. She might be developing the asthmas and also she has being doing a lot. It is too soon still. It was only four months ago she had the surgery." Greg said and then watches how everyone walks in.
"How is she?" Jules asked concern for her baby.
"She is much better after the oxygen." Sam said and stared at her and you could see how scare they both were.
"I think we should take her to the hospital for a checkup." Jeremiah wife said.
"I agree." Jules said and everyone agree.
"We'll take her you guys finished here and we meet you in the house later." Sam said and got up with her.
"I will go with you." Jeremiah wife said.
"Ok." Jules said and everyone watch how the three left with Valerie.
"Is she going to be ok?" Samantha asked warily.
"Yes baby." Charlie said and hugs the girl to her.
"How about we get those videos so you guys could see yourself climbing." Spike said and everyone was grateful for getting the kids attention with something else.
"That is a great idea." Jamie wife said and they all follow the instructor to the gift shop. An hour later each family have they own personal video and made their way to the bus to go back home for dinner.
At the hospital
"I spoke to the doctor. He agrees to let me help with Valerie care." Jeremiah wife said.
"How did you convince them?" Jules asked.
"I told them that you guys are important people and that I am the family doctor." She said and smirks and both Sam and Jules smile.
"She is going to be fined. I believe she is getting asthmas I guess the change of environment and everything that had happen is affecting her breathing. It seem bad and if not treat carefully it could get worst, but it good we caught it early and it not her heart."
"And your doctor is right. Her heart is fined and beating nicely. Her problem is her breathing. And after giving her the treatment her color is coming back. I prescribed some medicine and a pump, also information regarding her condition. If you keep on top of that she would live a healthy life. And that don't mean she can't do anything. I know parents get scare that they child would catch and asthmas attack every single time, but that it is not true. You just have to teach her to use her pump and everyone around her just in case she can't reach it." The doctor said after walking in on them.
"Thank you so much for everything." Jules said emotionally.
"You could take her home. She needs some rest and she should be fined by tomorrow." He said and Sam and Jules nod.
"I'll go with you and get all the paper necessary to go home." Jeremiah wife said and Sam and Jules agree. When they were alone in the room Sam tears came down his eyes.
"I feel like such bad parents. I feel like I cause this. You were alone Jules. God you had an accident with our babies. I almost lost all of you guys." Sam said and watches how his baby girl slept. Jules came around and hug him. She wasn't surprise he knew already. She knew he was going to asked Greg the moment he had a chance, knowing that she won't tell him every detail. Then she grabs his face and cleans the tears out his face.
"Sam this is not your fault. You where force by those afoul people. And the accident was just that an accident and I gain Katherine through that. Things happen we both know that. She is going to be ok, and you heard the doctor we can't keep her in a bubble, this would happen again." Jules said and kiss his lips.
"I know, it just…"
"I know how you feel Sammy."
"I just want you guys safe and healthy." Sam said and hugs her tight.
"Me too." Jules said and with that they turn to Valerie who was watching them.
"She looks just like you." Jules whispers to Sam. "Hey baby, how are you feeling?" Jules asked and sat on the bed with her.
"Much better. Sorry for ruining everyone fun." Valerie said and her eyes were full of tears.
"You didn't baby. We were just concern. But you didn't ruin anything. I bet when we go home, they would all hug you and treat you like a princess." Sam said and sat on the other side.
"They not mad at me."
"No baby, they are not, they dying to see you and see how you are." Jules said.
"Oh ok, I want to go home." Valerie said and leans toward her parents.
"We getting everything ready and then we go." Sam said.
"Ok." She said and went back to sleep. And Jules and Sam waited for Jeremiah wife to come back.
Main House
"What taking so long?" Katherine asks pacing the living room.
"They're on their way." Jeremiah said.
"What is wrong with her? She had her surgery already." Katherine said.
"Katherine relax, you need to be strong." Greg said.
"I know, but…" She said and started crying. She love the family so much and Valerie being so sick and all.
"Let it out." Natalie said and hugs her.
"Sorry, I guess with everything. I am just so scared." Katherine said when she calms down.
"We know honey. But everything will be alright now. You guys are safe." Jonathan said and tries his best to reassure everyone.
"Yes, now the good times come. And Valerie is strong, just like her mother and her father. She will be alright." Justin said and right there they walk in with Valerie asleep in Jules arms.
"Hey guys." Jeremiah said while they made their way to sit down.
"What the doctor said?" Shelby asked.
"She has asthmas. I guess with everything she was born with she had a hard time breathing. They weren't sure at the beginning because of her heart problem, but it is confirmed after all this." Jules said.
"She has a pump in case anything happen but after that she is fined. She could live a healthy normal life. No reason to treated her different." Jeremiah wife said knowing that they try to keep her in a bubble.
"I am taking her to bed." Jules said and excuse herself. Instead of walking up the stairs she went outside to their villa.
"She'll be alright." Jeremiah wife said again seeing the worry in they faces.
"I have asthmas." Charlie said and everyone look at her.
"You do?" Sam asked surprise.
"Yeah, it is not the bad now, but when I was younger it was real bad. You don't remember because I am older than you, but it is bad."
"Me too." Natalie said.
"Oh yeah I remember you." Sam said and felt much better. At least he knows it runs in his family.
"I guess it runs in the family. That a good thing Sam." Jeremiah said.
"Yes it is." Sam said and you could see the relief.
"Hey it is late let go to bed." Greg said noticing how tire everyone was, plus the kids were in bed already.
"Daddy." Samantha said and everyone turn around to watch her and Matthew holding hand.
"Come." Sam said and grabs her hand and Samantha grabs Matthew. "Goodnight everyone." Sam said and with his other hand he grabs Katherine hand and all four them walk out to their villas.
"They will be alright." Jonathan said and everyone agree while watching them go and then they all went to their rooms.
Sam and Jules Villa
"Mommy." Matthew said and climbing the bed with her.
"Hey babies." Jules said and smile at all her kids. Then she patted the bed and they all joined her in bed while Sam sat on the corner.
"Is Valerie alright?" Samantha asked.
"Yes she is."
"I am ok." Valerie said and hugs her siblings.
"What was wrong with her?" Matthew asked.
"She has asthmas." Sam said. "That is when you can't get enough air inside your body and you out of breath and tired."
"How can we help with that?" Samantha said.
"That is a good question. You see this pump. If she ever feel out of breathe she needs to put this in her mouth and push down here. And that would give her the medication to calm her down." Jules said.
"If you guys see that she not able to reach her pump you guys have to help her. One gets help and the other one put this side to her mouth and push."
"Ok mommy, we make sure she be alright." Matthew said.
"I know you guys will because we protect our family." Jules said and they nod.
"How about some rest. It has being a long day." Sam said and the kids cuddle more toward Jules. Katherine got up from the corner of the bed and Sam look at her until she gave up and lay next to Jules with Samantha on the middle. Then Sam took the opposite side next to Matthew and turns the light off.
"Goodnight everyone, love you guys." Jules said and they all mumble good night and I love you to her and Sam.
"I love you guys too." Sam said and with that he hugs his family and they went to sleep.
