While Simon took Ruthie to her surprise, Annie went downstairs to watch tv
with Charles while Lucy was talking to Ginger when Eric was at work as was
Kevin.
"You know, I'm glad you and the kids are okay."
"Thanks dad. I was kind a worried that something happened to you and Ginger didn't call back." Annie responds.
"Hey! I know how to take care of myself!! I don't need you or anyone else!! I don't even remember the wedding and don't know what you are talking about!!? Do you understand me?!" Charles screams at her then goes upstairs to where he and Ginger are staying in then Annie sees Ginger and Lucy who came out of the kitchen since they heard him scream.
"You okay mom?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah. But I think we need a family meeting." Annie says.
"I'm sorry Annie."
"No, that's okay. I'm glad you told me I wouldn't have known what got into him." Annie replied.
The surprise for Ruthie-
"Okay, open your eyes." Simon says as he drives up a driveway.
"Oh, the stables!!"
"Yeah." Simon says as Ruthie looks at him happily.
"Oh, thank you Simon, this is the best surprise a brother can give me!!"
"Anytime kiddo." Simon says as he and Ruthie were hugging.
Few minutes later Ruthie rode one of the horses and was met up by Katylen who was also on the horse then they both rode together for a few hours while Simon was in the small guest house talking to the owner of the stable.
At the Camdens-
While Charles was in the twins room watching them play, Ginger and Annie were talking in the kitchen with Lucy about Charles then Annie gets a phone call from Eric.
"Hi. Oh, okay. Well how late will you be? I'll make sure we have enough for you when you get home. Love you, bye."
"What's with dad?" Lucy asks.
"Your father is going to be counseling two people and thinks he will be home late." Annie says.
"So Annie, any idea as to who and why the person hit you?" Ginger asked curiously.
"You won't even believe it, a woman was driving the car and breastfeeding her child, which is illegal in all but maybe two states."
"Oh gosh. Anyone killed?" Ginger said.
"The mom and the baby." Annie says somberly.
"Oh gosh." Ginger said exsaparated while Lucy looked horrified.
Minutes later Simon and Ruthie came in from horseback riding then went in the kitchen. Annie was glad that Ruthie had to her she had fun and seemed really happy then she told her and Simon to sit down since she needed to talk to them about grandpa. Lucy sat next to Simon as Ruthie sat next to him while Annie and Ginger were just across the table facing them in the kitchen.
"I don't know how to tell you this but Grandpa's alzheimers has progressed very rapidly since--."
"Since after Matt's wedding." Ginger finished as Annie took a breath.
"You mean that Grandpa is not going to remember us?" Ruthie asked.
"No he won't." Annie said as Ginger put her arm around her to console her.
"You mean that he has to be watched?" Simon asked just as Kevin opened the door since he came home from work through the kitchen then Lucy welcomed him home.
"Yes." Ginger says.
They talked some more then Ginger helped Annie with dinner as Simon went upstairs to see what Sam and David were up to and sees that grandpa is talking to them while they are playing at the time Ruthie set the table.
"Hey! Um. what's your name?" Charles asked as the boys looked at him after Simon had gotten into his room, opened the double doors.
"I'm David and he's Sam." David replies, Simon was looking in the room from his chair he was sitting in while reading.
"Hey, what do you say us three go and take a drive?"
"Okay." Sam says as David shook his head then Ruthie came in to tell everyone it was time to eat.
"What are you doing?!" Charles yells at Ruthie since her brothers went with her.
"It's time to eat grandpa." Simon says.
"Eat!! I don't need to eat!! I'm going to my room!!" Grandpa says as he goes to the attic.
"Ruthie, let me talk to Sam and David for a minute, tell them-"
"What's going on, what happened?" Annie asked with Ginger behind her just in the hallway where the kids were close to the stairs.
"Grandpa got mad cause we were going to eat then went in the attic." Ruthie says.
"Ruthie, Simon go downstairs. I want to talk to Sam and David for a minute."
"Momma what's wrong with Grandpa?" David asked as Ginger went to see Charles to make sure he's okay while Annie went in the boys room sat on David's bed as her boys were standing in front of her listening.
"Grandpa is very sick and sometimes he forgets things that makes him angry so he yells at people around him. He doesn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings."
"Oh." David says as he and his brother hugged their mom who hugged them back.
Few minutes later everyone including Charles and Ginger at the table. On the end, Annie sat then Sam, Simon, Lucy, where Eric would sit, Kevin is there, Ruthie, Charles, Ginger and David who sat on the other side of Annie facing his brother.
"So mom, when is dad going to get home?" Simon asked.
"He said he would be home late but I told him that Happy will have his dinner." Annie replied as everyone laughed except for the twins who didn't get what was funny.
"You okay?" Ginger asked her husband who was having trouble cut his sausages.
"Oh! I can't remember how to do it!!" Charles says exasperated.
"It's okay honey. Here." Ginger said as she cut his sausages for him then they all continued to eat.
"You know, I'm glad you and the kids are okay."
"Thanks dad. I was kind a worried that something happened to you and Ginger didn't call back." Annie responds.
