A/N: Once again thanx for all the reviews!! I love you guys so much!
I've also been asked where Lauren was in all this. For this story she is away in Costa Rica. Randy didn't win the contest and the other kid that originally won in the show didn't back out of it or get sick or whatever it was that caused him not to be able to go. Enjoy!

Ch. 8

After the new Elecrocardiograph was brought in and hooked up, the family once again said goodnight to Randy as they headed home for the night. Randy closed his eyes as the day's events plagued his mind. Hoping tomorrow will be less eventful, he slowly drifted into a dreamless sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Early the next morning, Tim, Jill and Katie arrived at the hospital. They headed up to Randy's room with a veggie breakfast for him, knowing he hated hospital food.

The three mad it to Randy's room and upon seeing he wasn't awake quietly entered. Jill set the food on the table and went to adjust the blankets to better cover Randy. At this slight movement, Randy started to stir. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled when he noticed who was in the room.

"Hey," he said groggily.

"Hi Randy!" Katie exclaimed a little too loud while climbing onto the bed.

"Mornin' son."

"Good morning Randy. How are you feeling?" His mom asked.

"Better. Still a little stiff and sore, but then I was shot so I guess that's to be expected," Randy explained trying to lighten the mood some. It worked sort of. It did bring a small smile to his parents, but Katie didn't seem to see the humor in his statement. Randy just squeezed her hand in comfort to let her know he was there and would never leave her.

The rest of the morning passed with the four of them playing card games and watching cartoons on TV. Katie was telling Randy how she had to go back to school on Monday since today was Thursday and there was no point in going back this week. Before noon, they were intrupted by a knock on the door.

Detectives Hamil and Rodriguez showed up just as promised. They didn't want to seperate the kids, but they thought it best so as to get an accurate statement from each persons point of view. Det. Hamil showed Katie and Jill to an empty room they could use to get Katie's statement. Det. Rodriguez stayed behind with Randy and Tim.

Not long after, maybe a half an hour, Hamil and the two Tayloretts joined the other three back in Randy's room. Katie quickly went up to Randy and attached herself to his good arm. Randy sqeezed her hand in reassurance.

Hamil and Rodriguez spoke quietly to Jill and Tim just outside the doorway. They explained that since the robber was DOA, that neither of the kids would need to testify or be in any court sessions. They also explained how whatever's left of the robbers life insurance money after his bills and other expenses get paid, will be put into two bank accounts. One for Randy and the other for Katie. They will be able to have access to that money once they turn eighteen.

Once the minny conferance was done, they said their goodbyes as the two detectives left. Jill and Tim walked back into the room to explain to Randy and Katie the news about the money and court. Just then the nurse came in to bring Randy his lunch and to check over his bandages. Once she was sure everything was ok, she said goodbye to the family and went on her way.

After Randy ate his lunch, Jill and Tim took Katie to go and get some lunch and stop by the house to wait for the boys before coming back. This way, Randy could get some more rest to help the healing process. Randy drifted off to sleep not even five minutes after they left.

2nd A/N: Sorry it's so short and took forever to update. Did I forget to mention how much of a procrastinator/slacker I am? :D

3rd A/N: The thing about the life insurance being given to the victims I totally made it up. I don't know how the victims get compensation after something like this especialy when the robber ends up dead. If you do know, feel free to smack me upside the head and let me know. :D
