Chapter 81
Belle was pacing back in forth in the hospital waiting room. When the ambulance arrived they rushed Brady to surgery. They were waiting on news on how Brady was doing.
Shawn: Belle please come sit down you are going to make yourself sick. There is nothing we can do right now sweetie but wait and pray.
Belle: Shawn I can't stand this they have to tell us how Brady is doing.
John: Sweetheart why don't you hold Alexis it looks like Shawn has his hands full.
Belle walks over to pick up a sleeping Alexis from her daddy. As she is rocking her the doctor came out of Brady's surgery. Belle, John, and Marlena all ran to the doctor to find out how Brady's surgery went.
Doctor: He is fine. Luckily the bullet hit higher and it didn't affect his heart. But the bad news is that it did a lot of damage to his shoulder. He tore cartilage and it is dislocated. We fix the cartilage but he is going to need physical therapy on his shoulder and hopefully everything will heal correctly with no permanent damage. Right now he is resting because of the pain medicine and he is still out of it from surgery.
Marlena: Thank you doctor for taking such good care of my son.
Doctor: Just doing my job. Well I have to check on some other patients but you can go see him one by one.
Marlena: Okay thank you.
John: Well who is going first.
Marlena: I have some news that I haven't shared with anyone yet that I would like to share with Brady first.
Belle: Okay mom tell him we all love him.
The Black family gathered in a big group hug and then Marlena went to tell Brady the good news.
Marlena walked into the room and started crying there was her oldest son laying there in a hospital bed. She sat in the chair by the side of his bed and gently rubbed his hair off his forehead.
Marlena: Brady my sweet boy thank god you are okay. You gave us quite a scare there. But we can't have anymore scares cause I am going to need all the help I can get from you now. You are such a good brother. Not many people could handle having 3 older half siblings and 9 little brothers and sisters. But you are great at it and you don't ever complain. You are their protector and I don't know what we would ever do without you especially now.
Brady: Especially with what mom.
Marlena: Oh Brady I didn't mean to wake you up sweetie you need your rest.
Brady: I want you to finish what you were saying mom.
Marlena: Well Brady it seems that you are going to have to get used to being a big brother because we are having quadruplets. So this family is getting bigger and bigger.
Brady: Good grief mom I think that dad needs to be fixed. I mean we are rich but I don't think we can afford all these kids.
Marlena: Tell me about it I am 46 years old and I am going to have 17 kids.
Brady: Oh mom this is great more babies. I don't care if you have 10 more I love them all.
Marlena: Well thank you sweetie I knew you would be supportive. But don't tell anyone else yet I told you first so no one else knows.
Brady: Okay mom but one more question how long till the babies are born. I am 5 months along so 4 months.
Marlena: Well sweetheart Belle is dying to see you so I am going to let her come in now but don't tell her.
Belle: Don't tell me what?
