Michaela walked in to the clinic.
"Hello ma, did Brian get home safely?" Colleen asked.
"Yes, he and Sarah had to take cover in a cave until the storm passed," Michaela said.
"Oh well, so long as he's home safe now," Colleen said.
Changing the subject Michaela asked, "are you all right here on your own for an hour or two while I go out to see Widow Wilson?"
"Sure ma," Colleen replied.
"I'll see you later then," Michaela said as she left.
Colleen busied herself sorting out the medicine cabinet when the door burst open. In came Jake, carrying Hank in his arms.
"What happened?" Colleen asked.
"Some drunk shot him," Jake answered
"Put him on the table," Colleen ordered and then went to wash her hands. She then walked over to the open door where there was a growing crowd outside. "Robert E can you ride out to Widow Wilson's and get Dr Mike," Colleen asked.
"Sure thing," Robert E said as he quickly ran down the street to get the wagon.
"Grace, Dorothy, come in, I am going to need your help," Colleen said
Dorothy, Grace and Jake new the routine by now and all washed their hands while Colleen observed Hank's injury.
Colleen started, "Grace will you hold the lamp?" Jake give Hank 1 drop of chloroform every minute and Dorothy can you pass me the instruments as I need them?"
Seconds later Colleen spoke again, "he's lucky, the bullet went straight through.but oh no it's damaged an artery, I'll need to sew it up. Grace can I have the needle?"
Colleen sewed up the artery then said, right all I need to do now is sew up the wound.
When she finished Colleen walked over to the door and opened it up. She stepped out to inform the crowd how Hank was doing.
"How is he Colleen?" Loren said.
"The bullet went straight through but unfortunately it did a little damage. The bullet tore an artery but I have been able to sew it up so he should be fine."
"Oh that's a relief," Loren said.
Robert E and Michaela were rushing down the dirt street in the wagon.
Michaela jumped down from the wagon and run up to Colleen, "how is he?" She asked.
"He's doin' fine, I tied up the artery and he's all stitched up good as new," Colleen said.
"Oh good," Michaela said as she stepped in to the clinic.
She surveyed Hank's injury, and looked up to Colleen, "it looks like you've done a good job here, I don't know why you needed me," she said jokingly.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::
Colleen walked up to the door and knocked.
"Come in," Andrew said.
Colleen entered the Chateau clinic and greeted Andrew with a hug and a long kiss.
"For what do I owe this pleasure?" Andrew asked.
"I just had a good day is all. I performed my first solo operation and it was a success," Colleen said with a large smile.
"Oh I'm so proud of you Colleen," Andrew said as he embraced his love.
"Thank you, it wasn't major surgery, just a bullet wound with a damaged artery but I handled it myself," Colleen said.
"Well then how about I take you out to supper tonight at Grace's, just the two of us," Andrew suggested.
"I'd like that," Colleen said and then gave him another kiss.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::
Colleen and Andrew were sat at a table in Grace's café; they had just finished their supper and were now talking.
"Colleen, I want to show you something," he brought out a piece of paper from his pocket and placed it in front of her.
Colleen looked at the piece of paper; it was a drawing of a house. A little confused Colleen asked, "what is it?"
"It's a picture of our house, do you like it?" Andrew asked.
"Yes I love it," Colleen replied with a huge grin.
"It's similar to your family's house just a little bigger; we can have a nice garden filled with your favourite flowers at the side. I was looking at a piece of land not too far from town, it overlooks the mountains and the creek runs straight along side it," Andrew finished.
"Oh it sounds wonderful, you make me so happy Andrew," Colleen said with a tear in her eye.
"I'll talk to Sully and see when we can get started," Andrew said as he wiped the single tear from Colleen's cheek.

Everyone was stood at the train station eagerly awaiting the return of Matthew and Rebecca.
Michaela and Sully were stood holding on to there young children so they didn't disappear when the train arrived, Colleen and Andrew were stood beside Brian and Sarah and Rebecca's Mother and Father were stood just to the side of the large family.
"Oh look here it is, Brian said as the train came in to view."
The train pulled to a stop and off came Matthew and Rebecca.
"Hey everybody," Matthew shouted.
"Welcome home" Michaela greeted her eldest son then continued, "did you have a nice time?"
"Sure did," Matthew replied.
"Let's all go over to Grace's and have a drink of lemonade," Sully said.
Everyone sat around the large table and Grace came right over with everyone's drinks.
"So did we miss anything while we were gone?" Matthew asked.
Andrew spoke up; "Colleen performed her first solo operation."
"You did," Matthew said while looking at Colleen, "I'm proud of ya sis."
"Thanks," Colleen said.
"Sarah and I got caught in a storm," Brian added.
"Were you all right?" Matthew asked worried.
"Yeah, we had to take cover in a cave for the night but we got home in the morning," Brian said.
Matthew smiled and then looked towards Dr Mike expecting her to uncomfortable with what he just heard.
Michaela shared a look with Matthew.
"So anyway how was the honeymoon?" Sully asked.
"Great," Rebecca said.
"Did you get me a present?" Katie chimed in.
"Um, let me think.yes, we couldn't go away without fetching a little something back for my little brother and sister," Matthew said finishing with a laugh.
"What did you get me?" Byron asked.
"We'll give you your presents later because they're somewhere at the bottom of my bag," Matthew explained.
Rebecca looked towards the rest of the family and continued with the previous conversation, "we went to this real fancy restaurant were they served things like snails and then we went to see a show."
"It sounds wonderful," Michaela said.
"Sure was," Rebecca said.
