The Sister (2) - Chapter 18
"Hello?" Stephanie said in a groggy voice as she answered her cell phone. "Mrs. Martin is it?" an unfamiliar voice said to her at 3:30 p.m. Steph moved around thinking who the hell is calling me, I just laid the kids down for a nap and was starting to take one with Andrew. Steph said, "Yes, how can I help you?" The voice said, "This is Captain Miller of the Greenwich Police Department.Do you have a sister or sister-in-law by the name of Alexandra Levesque?" She said, "Yes, she's my sister, what about her?"
Stephanie sat straight up in bed and Andrew finally woke up and sat up next to her and said, "What's going on?" Stephanie held up a finger and mouthed the words 'hold on'.Captain Miller said, "You're sister's been in a serious car accident.we couldn't find any numbers on her so, we called the first number on her cell phone that we came across." She said, "What? Oh My God..How bad is it?" The Captain said, "All I can tell you is that she's on her way to Greenwich Memorial Hospital, if you can you should probably get there right away."
She said, "I will, I'm leaving now.thank you for calling me." He said, "I'm sorry about this.you're welcome." They hung up and Stephanie jumped out of bed and said, "Andrew get the kids things together were going home." Andrew grabbed Stephanie by the arms and said, "Slow down, what happened?" Stephanie said, "Alex.she was in a car accident." She started crying, Andrew held her while she cried..then he had Steph sit down while he packed things up, about that time someone knocked on the door.Andrew said, "C'mon in."
Paul walked through the door, and Stephanie walked over to him, and started hitting him in the chest and arms and said, "You son of a bitch.you're such an asshole.I can't stand to look at you.you make me sick.this is all your fault!!"
Paul was trying to back away but Stephanie was in hot pursuit smacking him around, it's probably a good thing he had his arms up, other wise I'm pretty sure she would of taken a swing at him. Andrew heard the commotion and came out of the bed room and saw what was going down.he ran over and grabbed Stephanie by the arms, so she tried kicking, she missed, but she tried.
Andrew threw her over his shoulder and put her in the bedroom, closed the door, and went back out and said, "Sorry about that man.she's a little upset." Paul still having this shocked look on his face said, "That's a little upset? I'd hate to see full blown upset. What the hell was that all about anyway?" Andrew said, "Alex, has been in a car accident, were on our way to the airport, you coming?" Paul said, "Oh My god, is she ok?" He said, "We don't know anything yet, she's at the hospital." Paul said, "I'm coming, you better tell Marissa and Shane." Paul took off to get all his gear.
When they got to Greenwich, they immediately went to the hospital, and were told to sit in the waiting room.Paul found himself looking out the window again, like he had done when Xander was being born. Of course it was a different floor, then last time, but same outside setting. His hummer, Shane's truck, and Andrew's explorer. After they had been there 30 minutes Stephanie walked over and sat next to him, she said, "I'm sorry Paul.I was really upset, I didn't mean to take it out on you.She told me before she left you guys were fighting, and I just figured it was your fault she had the accident."
Paul said, "Hell, I probably deserve every smack you gave me, I've been really stupid lately.I guess I really have been a monster towards Alex." Steph said, "Well at least me hitting you wasn't a total loss then.of course Alex was right about one thing."
He said, "Yea, what's that?" She said, "Hitting you in the chest does no good, it's like hitting a brick wall.she told me one time when you guys got into that big fight about having a baby, she slapped you then socked you in the chest.she hurt her hand, said it felt like she socked a brick wall. We sat and laughed about it for hours, because I couldn't believe she punched you in the chest.you did the same thing to me that you did to her, you just stood there, the punch never phased you." Paul said, "Yea, well it usually doesn't, at least not when girls do it.now a guy on the other hand, could get kind of painful."
They laughed it off and talked a little longer, trying to pass time.
