"Hey boys." Eric says as he walked in, saw them awake as he walked to Sam.

"Hi daddy. We wanna go home, Mary said that Ruthie, Simon and mommy are here and we wanna see them." Sam said as David replied.

"Well, boys I'm afraid you are not going to see them for some time because they have to stay here at the hospital since the hospital can only help them. Sam, David has an owie and if he needs any help, you will have to press this button then the nurse is going to come in okay." Eric says as he shows Sam the button the he can press.

"Okay daddy." Sam said.

"I love you guys." Eric says as he hugs and kisses Sam then walks over to David just as the doctor came in to walk towards him.

"Okay David you need to take this medicine." The doctor responds.

"The owie is going to go away if you take the medicine, okay."

"Okay, but my tummy hurts." David says in a whiny voice.

"This medicine will make it go away, okay." The doctor says as David takes it in his mouth then swallows then the doctor leaves.

"How are you feeling?" Eric asked.

"Okay, scared." David said.

"It's okay son. I'm going to see Ruthie, Simon and mommy then come back tomorrow, okay?" Eric said as he hugged his youngest son.

"Okay. Night." Sam and David said as he tucked David in, then went to Sam and tucked him in then left to see his youngest daughter.

Eric walked down the hall, saw Kevin and his kids who had finished their visits then Kevin told him that they would meet him at the house since Lou drove Eric and Lucy in their van since Annie and the kids went in the electric van so Lucy just gave Eric the keys and Kevin drove his car.

"Hi Ruthie." Eric says as he walks up to his youngest daughter.

"Hi dad. I'm sorry about this." Ruthie says sadly.

"Oh, honey don't feel bad, you didn't know this was going to happen."

"I know but I just want to go home. I love you dad." Ruthie says.

"I know, but will be awhile and I'm just glad that I didn't lose any of you. I love you too honey." Eric says as he gives Ruthie a kiss on her forehead then tucks her in then leaves to go see Simon.

"Simon, I'm not sure if you can hear me or not but I want you to know that I'm glad that I won't lose any of you, mom, Ruthie, Sam and David are in here but the twins are going to be out of here soon. Since Lucy and Kevin are at the garage apartment, Mary is probably going to work tonight or tomorrow morning and Matt is over at the Glass' house since Sarah will be there tomorrow, the house is gonna be pretty lonely without you, mom, Ruthie and the twins. Well, yeah I got Happy but she can't talk." Eric said then giggles as he gave his son a kiss on the forehead then left to see his wife.

Eric walked in the room where Annie was sleeping then he walked near her bed then started talking to her while holding her hand that was not broken, as he started to talk Annie woke up and was glad to see him.

"Annie? Can you hear me?"

"Yes. How are the kids?" Annie asked almost to tears.

"Well, Sam and David just have some scratches, bruises but the doctor wants to keep them for observation for a few days but it looks like David might be here longer if his appendicitis keep acting up, Ruthie has a broken hand, cuts, bruises and will need to stay in for a few weeks because she and Simon may have possible internal bleeding that the doctors are monitoring and Simon has a few broken ribs. Do you remember anything from the accident honey?"

"Oh, just a woman was holding something to her chest when she swerved into our lane and hit us and I told the police. Any idea what she was holding?" Annie asked.

"No, I haven't heard."

"What are you going to do now?" She replied.

"Gonna call Charles then going to get some sleep then come back in the morning."

"Okay. I love you." She replied.

"I love you too." Eric said as he kissed Annie then left.

Eric then got home, called Charles but wasn't home so he left a message then went to bed but couldn't sleep much then when he finally went to sleep-

"Annie Camden, Will you marry me?"

"Yes." A young Annie says after a young Eric proposed to her at her home in Arizona.

"Come on Ruthie, say dada."

"Daddy!! Waaaaa!! I can't ride my bike!!" A crying 7 year old Simon came into the living room where Eric was talking to Ruthie to get her to talk.

"Come here son, it's okay. Listen mommy and I have to teach you son. You will get better." Eric said.

"DADA!!" Ruthie said as he was hugging Simon.

At the hospital-

"What's wrong David?" Sam asked as he was awaken by David's crying.

"My tummy hurts even more." David cried.

"Nurse?" Sam asked in the speakerphone as he pressed the button.

Minutes later-

"Code Blue- 39, Code Blue-39" The loudspeaker is sounded as the nurses and doctor rushed to the room then the surgeon was called to scrub up.

"Where is the father of this child? Find him and tell him what is going on." The doctor said as he rushed to get the Operating Room ready as the other nurses who were allowed to be in the room with the doctor.

"Yes, doctor. And here are the forms already filled out if needed."

"Hey David, I'm going to have a doctor operate on your tummy because the medicine didn't help. Medicine most times do help but looks like it didn't in this case so I'm going to take out the problem that is making you hurt, okay?"

"Okay." David says as he was teary eyed.

"Call Eric, tell him of the situation."

"Here is the forms if surgery is needed that was already filled out before this happened. I will page him." The nurse gives him the papers then leaves.

"Anyone who objects to the marriage of these two shall speak now or forever hold their peace." The reverend says as he is marrying Eric and Annie as a phone goes off.

"Hello?" Eric picked up the phone after waking up since it had rang.

What is the phone call about? Who is in surgery besides David? Is it Ruthie? Simon? Does one or both of them die?
