A Stoppable Christmas Chapter 4
The sun shone off of the swirling snow spun into the air by the blades of the U.S. Army Rescue helicopter as it sat in the snow. The rescue team had arrived early that morning. They had located the site as Ron had set a number of signal fires to help them locate the remains of the cabin. During the night Ron had found the remains of the snowmobiles and their equipment and gathered enough food and water to make everyone comfortable. He was running on pure adrenaline as he had to take care of everyone. The paramedics on the crew had already loaded John, Pam and the two new additions to their family onto the craft. Pam had delivered a boy and a girl with Ron's help during the night. The doctor on the Kimmunicator had coached Ron through each step. Later as Pam lay quietly holding the two sleeping babies; Ron had taken a moment to check on Kim.
"How are you doing KP?" he had asked.
Kim had looked up at Ron and smiled. "I still hurt a little, but I'll be okay. How about you?"
"Well, all this moving around is not helping my side any. But I've got work to do. You go back to sleep. I'll check on everyone later. I have to set some signal fires" Ron had left to do his work. That had happened during the night.
Now, it was a bright clear morning and a doctor was looking over Kim as they prepared to take her to the helicopter.
"Well, young lady, I don't think you will be doing any dancing in the near future, but otherwise you are going to be fine." the medical officer said. He stood and looked at the young man kneeling beside Kim. "Ron is it?" he asked.
"Yes" Ron said as he stood glancing down at Kim.
"Well, Ron, you have done an excellent job over the past day or so, under shall we say interesting circumstances. There are five people that owe their lives to you. Have you ever thought of some type of emergency medicine as a career?"
Ron just smiled "No sir, but I might some day. Right now I've got a partner to take care of." Ron knelt back at Kim's side and pulled some of the stray hair that was blocking her face. She was nestled down in a stokes stretcher covered in blankets. Kim reached up with her free hand and touched his face. Ron looked back down at her as she said "Ron would be the best, Doctor, I trust my life to him everyday."
"Then you are a very lucky young woman Kimberly, to have someone to take care of you like this young man." The doctor motioned for the two army medics waiting nearby and they picked up Kim's stretcher and carried her to the helicopter. Ron walked along side and held her hand on the way back to the craft. The doors closed and the helicopter took off and flew off up the valley.
Middleton Hospital
The hospital room only had two occupants. Kim lay asleep in one bed. Her head was wrapped in a bandage and her lower left arm and lower left leg were in casts. Ron's bed was empty because he was in a chair pulled up next to Kim's bed. His hand was in Kim's and he was also asleep. The door opened quietly and two sets of anxious parents came into the room. Kim opened her eyes to see Ron sitting next to her and then saw her parents at her side.
"Mom, Dad" she said. Ron awoke with a start to see his parents standing beside him. All the parents gave hugs and kisses to the two young teens. Two brothers came storming in the room. "Wow, an avalanche that must have been neat!"
"Neat, is not the word for it Tweebs." moaned Kim.
"Kimmie, how do you feel?" asked Mrs. Dr. P.
"I have definitely felt better, mom. I have a new appreciation of what cold really is." Kim said.
"How about you, son?" asked Mr. Stoppable.
"Well, dad, just a few cuts and bruises." Ron said.
"Oh, sure, just a few cut and bruises" mocked Kim. "If I remember correct the count is three broken ribs, two more cracked a twisted knee and about 15 stitches, plus what the doctor called near exhaustion. By the way, sir, you are supposed to be in bed. Doctor's orders."
"So not the drama, KP, I'm okay." Ron said with a smile.
Mr. Possible walked over to Ron. Ron stood as he approached. Ron's parents stood as his side. Mr. Possible stuck out his hand and shook Ron's hand.
His eye glistened as he spoke "Ron, thank you, for proving my trust in you and thank you for my daughter's life." He then took Ron into his arms for a hug. Ron groaned just a bit.
"Daddy, be careful" Kim said. "His ribs remember!"
"Sorry Ron" Mr. Possible said. "No problem Dr. P" said Ron. Mrs. Possible looked at her daughter "The doctors here said you have a nasty bump on the head and your arm and leg will heal fine. The bandage on your head came come off tomorrow"
Kim said "Well, I guess I won't be able to be in the play this weekend"
"What to you mean KP, I was looking forward to it." Said Ron.
"Ron, I have a cast on my arm and my leg. Just how I am going to do anything." Answered Kim.
"Simple, KP, have you ever heard of wheelchair and if that won't work, I will carry you" he answered.
"But, Ron, your ribs, you won't.." Kim was stopped as Ron placed one of his fingers on her lips to stop her from talking. She stopped before she said anything else. Her mother and father shared a smile and a knowing glance, even they could not get Kim to stop talking when she had something to say.
"KP, like I said don't worry about it. I talked with your pastor. Everything is set. Now just let me handle this" Kim listened and just nodded "OK Ron"
Kim's mom had to turn around to "clear" her throat but mainly to wipe the smile off her face to see her very independent daughter behave as she just did.
"But do me one favor. As much as I like having you right here beside me, will you please get in your bed and lie down before you fall on your face." Kim continued.
"OK, KP, I'll go" Ron said, but before he laid down he bent over and gave Kim a kiss straight on the lips in full view of both sets of parents.
Kim's face turned almost as red as her hair as she whispered "RON! Not in front of everybody!!" Kim composed herself and asked her mom "How about John, Pam and the babies. How are they?"
The two sets of parents smiled at the question.
Mrs. Stoppable said "We have a surprise for you." She went to the door and opened it. "You can come in now."
John and Pam were wheeled into the room. Each was holding a small sleeping baby. There was a girl and a boy. "Kim, Ron good to see you." John said. "We wanted to thank you for all that the two of you did."
Kim said "Ron did all the work, he deserves the credit" Kim looked over at Ron.
"Well" said Pam "we have a surprise for you. We had decided on some names before the babies were born, but we changed our minds. Kim, Ron, we would like you to meet, Kimberly Ann Abrams and Ronald Adrian Abrams." The two mothers came and picked up a child each and took them to their own children. Kim held her namesake and Ron held his. Kim's jaw fell open until the small sleeping bundle was placed in her arms. She had never been so surprised in her life. She reached over and pulled back the pink blanket to see the small sleeping face. Ron gingerly held the sleeping boy. "Booyah"
The three sets of parents all laughed at the teen's reaction.
Sorry for the shorter chapter this time, but it was a good point to stop the story. The play is coming up and Ron is ready to help Kim. There may be one or two more surprises in store for our two teens.
