July 19th..
"Hello?" Matt answers as everyone comes to Eric's den.
"Is it?" Ruthie whispers..
"This is Matt, um, my parents are not able to come to the phone cause they went on a cruise ship and had problems with the ship and we don't know if they are okay or not.
"Oh." Simon says as everyone goes back to what they were doing..
"Colonel, come here. It's Ginger's family."
"You there? Okay, I'm going to put you on the speaker phone, my grandfather and I will make the trip to Arizona." Matt says as he, the Colonel and the person on the phone talk.
Upstairs..
"So why don't you go to San Diego too?" Ruthie asks.
"Why? Grandma, Julie, Sarah and Hank are going besides, I want to be here with you, Sam and David." Simon says.
"Do you think they will find mom and dad." Ruthie asks.
"I really don't know, I hope so." Simon says.
"Owie." Sam says as his tummy hurts.
"Sam?" Simon says as he and Ruthie go into the twins bedroom from Simon's room through the sliding door.
"Yeah?" Sam says almost in tears.
"What's wrong?" Simon asks.
"My tummy hurts." Sam says.
"It does, when did it start hurting?" Ruthie asks.
"Today." Sam says
"Did you eat any candy?" Ruthie asks.
"No." Sam says
"Did David poke you there by accident when you two were playing." Simon asks.
"No." Sam says
"Okay. You don't have a fever but why don't you lie down for awhile, okay." Simon says as he writes down when Sam's stomach started to hurt.
"Okay." Sam says as he lies down while David and Erica play as Ruthie plays with John.
A few minutes later, Robbie tells Ruthie and Simon that the Colonel and Matt are going to Phoenix while Ruth, Julie, Hank and Sarah are going to San Diego after lunch. Then at dinner time Sam said that he wasn't hungry, his tummy was still hurting a little more and Simon was getting worried about Sam. He called a friend of his, Jack, whose brother had a stomach problem a year ago, his dad spoke to him since Jack wasn't home and gave him some information that will help him. Jack's father asked if Sam had a fever and if he did that he should go to the hospital right away or if it was still hurting tomorrow that he should go then. Simon thanked him then hung up, checked on Sam's forehead which was fine then they all went to bed. Sam didn't have a very good night nor did Simon since Sam's stomach was hurting more then it was hours ago then they fell asleep for 3 hours and it was morning already.
Today was the day that Eric and Annie were supposed to come home but instead Simon was really tired, Sam was cranky, hurting and his forehead was a little warm when Simon felt it so he called Mary and Lucy to let them know that Sam's been having stomach pains and they made an appointment to see a doctor that day which they went to and found out that Sam needed an appendectomy later in the day so Simon and Mary stayed with Sam while Lucy went home to wait for Matt and the Colonel. A few hours later Sam wakes up, and sees the Colonel, Matt, Simon, Mary, Ruthie, David, Kevin and Lucy in the hospital room and they are happy he woke up.
"Hey, buddy. How are you feeling?" Matt asks.
"Your tummy should not be hurting anymore. The doctor took care of it." Simon says.
"Oh." Sam says as the doctor walks in to tell everyone that Sam could go home in two days.
Then two days later Sam went home then Julie, Hank, Ruth and Sarah came back from San Diego with news.
July 22...
Hank, Julie, Ruth and Sarah came home the spoke to Matt, and the remaining Camdens. Before they spoke to the twins, they found out that Sam had to have an appendectomy and that he is okay now and Matt said that Lou has okayed the things that belong to grandpa Charles to be in Eric's office in the Church and that Charles will be flown to GlenOak on Thursday. Robbie brought down Sam and David with the Colonel's asking.
"Sam, David." The Colonel says.
"Yeah?" Sam says as he and David walk to the living room and sit on the sofa as everyone sits next to them or stands behind them.
"Mommy and Daddy will not come home because they are in Heaven." The Colonel says.
"You mean they are with Ginger, Grandma Jenny and Grandpa Charles?" Sam asks.
"Yes. They are." Lucy says as she hugs Sam as Mary hugs David.
"Listen, me, Sarah, Mary, Lucy, Simon, Ruthie, Aunt Julie, Uncle Hank, Grandma and the Colonel are here for you and David. Okay." Matt says.
"Okay. Can I go play with Erica?" Sam asks a few minutes later.
"Hello?" Matt answers as everyone comes to Eric's den.
