Chapter 20
Six Weeks Later - January 3, 1996
Blair and Tad walked through the front door, everyone was in the living room.
"How did it go?" Mrs. Garrett asked.
"I got a clean bill of health," Blair said. "I'm fully recovered."
"That's great news!" Mrs. G exclaimed.
"And the doctors in Texas told me she would never fully recover," Tad said.
"Well I guess they were wrong," Jo said.
"Hey Mommy," Kelsey said. "Will you take me to the zoo now?"
"Of course," Blair said. "I didn't think you remembered."
"Hey, fill us in," Jo said. "What are you talking about?"
"Before we left for Hawaii, Kelsey was upset that we were leaving and I told her I'd take her to the zoo, when I got back," Blair explained.
"So that's why Kelsey didn't want to go with us before," Tootie realized.
One Month Later - February 3, 1996
Tootie was sitting on the couch, when Tad came home from work.
"Hey Tootie, is Blair around?" Tad asked.
"No, she went for a walk," Tootie said. "She said something about going to see her baby."
"She went by herself?" Tad asked worriedly.
"Yeah," Tootie said. "Is something wrong?"
"I don't know," Tad said. "Blair's never gone by herself before. How long has she been gone?"
"About an hour," Tootie said.
"If she's not back in five minutes, I'm going to go find her," Tad said. "It's getting late."
Tad drove to the cemetery. He found Blair sitting in the snow in front of a tombstone that read 'Baby Warner.' Tad knelt down next to Blair in the snow.
"It's getting late," Tad said.
"I know," Blair said.
"What's on your mind?" Tad asked.
"A baby," Blair said. "I want us to have another baby."
THE END
But wait there's more.
The sequel is coming soon.
"The Pink Rose" starts where "The Shooting Star" left off, right here in the cemetery.
