Chapter 70

The girls set out the appetizers and put on some music and waited for everyone to arrive. The Bradys were the first to arrive.

Chloe: Whitney why are you here now why didn't you come with the rest of the family?

Whitney: It is none of your business.

Shawn: Okay fine don't tell her but maybe JT knows. So what about it little brother care to shed some light onto this for us.

But before he could answer the Black's arrived.

Chloe: Alright this is insane please tell me why you are here without mom and dad Alisson. Are they sick or what? And where is Lesa and Lilah if mom and dad are sick.

Belle: From the bright red on my brother's cheeks I would guess you parents are coming but your little sister wanted to come with her boyfriend. Did I hit that on the nose.

Shawn: No way my little bro would have told me if he had a girlfriend there has to be another reason.

Belle: Allison you are Kyle's girlfriend right?

Allison: Yeah we started dating after we went to our school homecoming dance together. And Chloe Whitney is dating JT so now you know okay so chill out.

Chloe: Oh I am getting old my sisters have boyfriends what is next do the other two have boyfriends too. Well Lilah is too little but she does seem to favor Andrew of all the kids her age. Oh but Lesa she is dating Mimi's brother Conner.

Mimi: What he is to young to be dating.

Whitney: Well since we are giving you the scoop here is the rest of it. Tyler is dating Kennedy, Thomas is dating Kelly, Kimberly is Matt's girlfriend.

Philip: Kimberly is only 4 years old. This is insane. What is next are you going to tell us that two year olds have girlfriends.

Hope: Well Mackenzie is close to Jordan, and Lilah does favor Andrew.

Marlena: You better get used to it cause it will happen with your little ones too.

Shawn: My kids aren't dating until they are 18 and Alexis isn't dating until she is 30.

John: I used to say the same thing but they have a mind of their own.

Jason: Mackenzie will not date until I have a nice little talk with the guy she is dating and she will at least be 20 before she thinks of asking to go out with a boy.

Bo: You guys are going to be very over protective father's good luck girls.

The rest of the families walked in. They sat around and ate the appetizers while they took turns holding the babies. Brady and Taylor really started to get along and they seemed to be flirting.

The babies fell asleep and the girls put them all to bed. While the guys put the food on all of the tables,

Hope: I see you girls like the jewelry they picked out they had me go with them.

Chloe: Thank you it is gorgeous.

The phone rang in the kitchen it was for Hope.

Hope: hello.

Alice: Hope it is Gran, Jennifer and Brandon were in a wreck tonight. They were hit by a drunk driver. I really would like to go see her but I have Rachael and Abby.

Hope: Are they alright?

Alice: I don't know but the doctor said it was pretty bad that we should hurry. Poor Abby knows something is wrong. I don't want to scare her. She needs Jack at a time like this can you call him please.

Meanwhile Bo and Roman's cell phones ring. Telling them about the wreck and telling them that the man was in pretty bad shape.

Hope: Gran we are on our way to get you we will call Jack.

Hope came back into the room crying. Everyone was terrified to ask what is wrong.

Shawn: Mom what is it?

Hope: Shawn, Jennifer and Brandon were hit by a drunk driver.

Bo and Roman were sitting there silently and we crying.

Hope: Oh god Bo what do you know?

Bo: Brandon is in pretty bad shape and they didn't say about Jennifer.

So everyone grabbed their coats and ran to their vehicles to get to the hospital.

Belle: You guys go with Hope we are going to take her 6 babies and my mom is taking Mackenzie so they will be out of her hair. We are dropping all of the little ones off Eric and Greta's house. Sami and Austin are headed over there to help with all the kids.

Shawn: That is a lot to handle are you sure?

Philip: Come on man lets go that is your family they will be okay.

So everyone left for the hospital. Chloe volunteered to be the one to call Jack.

Billie: hello.

Chloe: Hi Billie this is Chloe is Jack there.

Billie could tell Chloe was crying. Billie: What is it Chloe?

Jack: hello what can we do for you Chloe?

Chloe: I can't tell you this here Belle you do it.

Belle busted out into tears when she heard Jack's voice.

Belle: Jack you need to get to the hospital now. Abby is okay but she is going to need you now more than ever.

Jack: Oh no what happened?

Belle: Jennifer and Brandon were hit by a drunk driver they had to use the jaws of life to get them out of the car. Rachael and Abby were staying with Gran. Abby doesn't know she is at Eric and Greta's. Hope dropped her off there on her way to the hospital so you could pick her up and tell her.

Jack: How am I supposed to tell her that her mommy might die.

Belle: I am not sure but she knows something is wrong and she is scared so she needs to hear it from you. It gets worse I know she thinks of Brandon as a second dad and he is in really bad condition. We haven't heard how bad Jennifer is.

Billie: Oh no what about the babies. The doctor said that since she is pregnant with 4 babies that she had to be careful with her pregnancy. And Abby was so looking forward to all of her siblings.

Belle: Well I am going to take the babies in to Eric's. I will tell Abby you are on your way. Oh and Eric will watch Kalley if you need him to.

Billie: Are you sure I could call Austin.

Belle: No it is fine Austin and Sami are here helping watch the kids.

Belle walked in the door and handed the twins to Eric he layed their carriers down and helped Marlena bring in his 6 siblings, Hope's 4 and a very sleepy Mackenzie. Belle handed Mackenzie to Greta so she could answer her cell phone.

Belle: Hello?

Jason: Belle you need to get here soon Shawn is breaking down. You know he always thought of Jennifer as a older sister. And he just came back from seeing her and he hasn't stopped crying since.

Belle: How bad is it?

Jason: Jennifer woke up when Shawn was in there only long enough to ask for Brandon three times.

Belle: How bad is he?

Jason: He is in a coma the doctor's said that even if he does wake up it looks like he will have brain damage may even be paralyzed. They don't seem to think he will wake up. As for Jennifer she has 2 broken ribs, a broken arm, a broken leg, and a broken jaw. The main concern is the amount of blood she lost.

Belle: What about the babies?

Jason: They haven't told us yet.

Belle: We are on our way please take care of Shawn for me until I get there.

Chloe and Mimi walked over to Belle when they saw her burst into tears.

Mimi: Is it Jennifer or Brandon what happened?

Mimi didn't realize that Abby was standing right behind her when she said that. Abby fell down to the ground and burst into tears.

Abby: What is wrong with my mommy why won't anyone tell me.

Belle was about ready to tell Abby when Jack and Billie walked in. Jack saw Belle and Abby in tears and he started to cry. Abby ran over to Jack and cried. Jack handed Kalley to Eric and picked up a hysterical Abigail.

Abby: Daddy what is wrong with mommy and Brandon please tell me don't lie to me.

Jack was so chocked up and he couldn't even talk. So Billie told Abby to come sit by her on the couch.

Abby: Billie will you tell me what is wrong with my mommy?

Billie: Sweetheart your mommy and Brandon were hit by a drunk driver. Your mommy and Brandon were hurt and they are in the hospital.

Abby: How bad are they?

A very shook up Belle decided she had to tell everyone.

Belle: Abby there is no easy way to tell you this but your mom has lost a lot of blood and she is slipping in and out of conciousness they don't know if she will be okay.

Abby: But she might make it right Belle she might not die.

Belle: Sweetie she has a good chance of beating this.

Abby: What about my step daddy?

Belle: Abby it doesn't look like he is going to make it.

Abby walked over to Racheal and picked her up. She sat by Billy and Belle.

Abby: He can't die Racheal and the babies need their daddy. Mommy needs him. This isn't fair. I don't want him to die.

By this time Jack was holding his daughter while Belle rocked Racheal. Everyone was calmed down and had quit crying when Racheal talked.

Racheal was smiling: DADDY

The group just started crying once again because Racheal kept saying DADDY but when her daddy didn't come she burst into tears.

Abby: See I told you Racheal needs her daddy.
