Mark
It was well around four am when I dragged Hunter out of the hospital and to the hotel. I knew that we both needed a good night's sleep. It was a long and trying day with the traveling and worrying that we both did. I wanted to be home with my wife and kids getting ready for Thanksgiving. No sooner we were in the room and both Hunter and I got ready for bed he was out like a light. I was wide awake and wanting to hear my wife's voice. I walked out to the balcony and dialed my house hoping to talk to Michelle.
"Hello." She said
"Hey Baby I didn't wake you up did I?" I asked
"No I was up you know my sleep is off with this baby. So how is Laura?" Michelle asked
"Good. She's better now that she has talked to her fathers." I said
"Both she talked to Shawn too?" Michelle asked
"Yeah after Hunter and she talked she asked if they could call him. And the two talked from what Hunt said it was sweet they hashed out a lot of things. Laura admitted that she was coming home and not just for the holidays." I said
"Well I am glad that she is coming home it's not been the same without her. Shawn and Hunter will be happy that she is coming home." Michelle said
"Yeah I know it wasn't till we were just about here when Hunter finally broke down. I just hope everything will be ok." I said
"Mark everything will be fine she's ok and there fixing their relationship and that's what matters. How are you holding up?" Michelle asked
"I am hanging in there; it was a bit scary to know that it could have been one of the boys. I hope to never have to go through that again." I said
"Me too. What's the timeline for you to get home?" Michelle asked
"Um well if everything goes ok with the transfusion then Monday at the latest." I said
"Good you take care of yourself and Hunter. And tomorrow I'll go check on Shawn and the twins. I love you Mark." Michelle said
"I love you too baby. Tell the boys I love them and I'll see you soon." I said as we hung up and I walked back into the room and crawled into bed. I hadn't realized just how tired I was for it didn't take long till I was out.
I woke up to the sound of the shower running. I knew that Hunter would beat me up, he said he wanted to get to the hospital as soon as he could. I got up and grabbed clothes for the day and got them ready then I picked up the phone and called room service. Just as I hung up the phone I heard the door open and out walked Hunter dressed for the day.
"Morning Mark did I wake you?" Hunter asked
"No man. I ordered room service. So it should be up soon, I am going to jump in the shower. I think that why you are at the hospital I will run over to her apartment and grab some stuff and after the holidays we can handle cleaning out the apartment." I said
"Yeah I was thinking about that too. I don't know if I want Laura going back there right now. Everything is too fresh in her mind I don't know how she will handle it." Hunter said
"I know, so you take care of Laura and I'll take care of everything else." I said
"Thanks Mark, and I don't mean for today, I mean for everything over the last twenty some odd years. You have been a great friend to both me and Shawn." Hunter said
"You're welcome both of you." I said as I turned and walked into the bathroom and started the shower. I took about fifteen minutes to get my shower just feeling the hot water running over my aching body. Today was going to be another rough day and I knew what I had to do. Once I was out of the shower and dressed I walked out to see Hunter was eating breakfast. I sat down across from him and started to eat as well. The two of us ate in silence as both our minds were split between here and home. Both of us worried about our pregnant spouses and then our mind was on Laura's wellbeing and health. After about twenty minutes we both hailed a cab first dropping off Hunter to the hospital and then taking me to Laura's. I pulled up to the apartment building and found a police officer waiting on me.
"Hello you must be Mr. Callaway. I am Sergeant Jones you are here to retrieve some things for Miss Helmsley correct?" Jones asked
"Yes I need to get some of her personal effects. And cloths she is going home to Texas for the holidays. After words her and her fathers will deal with everything else." I said as I followed him up to the apartment. Once he opened the door I was greeted by the sight of the blood stain on the floor where Laura laid. I had to hold back a few tears as I replayed what happened in my mind. I noticed her cell on the table. I walked over to pick it up along with her purse. I then walked into the bedroom and found her suitcase and started to pack some clothes for here. I knew she had tons of stuff at my house but I was trying to get as much as I could out so it would be less for her to get later. After about twenty minutes I had her two large suitcases packed and ready to go. I walked back out the cop standing there.
"Do you have everything then sir?" he asked
"Yeah I do everything I can think of. I just don't want her to have to back here so soon." I asked
"It's understandable really. If you need anything else just call the police station and ask for me and we'll take care of anything." Jones said
"Thanks so much." I said as he helped me get the bags down the curb as I hailed a taxi. I got the bags in the trunk and gave the hotel address. Once I got her bags into our room I sat down and just relaxed a bit I didn't want to interrupt the time that Hunter had with Laura because I know once she gets home Shawn will be all over her. I figured I could take a nap being I didn't get a lot of sleep last night I just wanted to be well rested for the plane ride home. Hopefully everything will turn out ok and this was going to be the best holiday ever. Not only were Michelle and I expecting to expand our family but so were Shawn and Hunter in more than one way. They were welcoming a new baby and then getting their eldest daughter back as well.
