Chapter 16: What to Do Now (Nov)

Reggie walked into the living room she was eight months now. She and Lars had been getting their room really for the babies. They had cribs in the room already to go and baby clothes were everywhere you looked. Reggie sat down on the couch and picked up a book on baby care. She heard Lars walk in the front the door of the family home. He had been in class all day. Reggie and his family was so proud of him for going to college and studying criminal justice. Reggie tried to get up off the couch and couldn't. Lars saw this and chucked and walked over to her. Lars smiled down at her and she smiled up at him. Reggie watched as Lars's smile fall and his eyes roll back into his head. He fell to the floor and start to bend backwards.

"TWISTER!" She yelled for brother-in-law. Twister ran out into the living room and ran over to Lars. There was nothing that he could do. They watched in horror as Lars had his seizure. Once he went limp Twister leaned over to his brother. He saw Lars open his eyes and look at him.

"Twister?" Lars said in a low voice.

"Lars you okay?"

"Yea I'm fine." He tried to get up but couldn't. Twister helped his brother up and help him to his room. Once Lars was lying on his bed he looked over towards Reggie who looked like she was crying.

"Don't cry I'll be fine Sweetheart." Lars said to his wife trying to make her feel better. Reggie walked over to him and sat on the bed. She took his hand into hers.

"Are you sure that you are alright?" She asked him.

"Yes I'm okay now. I just need to rest and I'll be up in no time." Lars said.

Reggie got of the bed to let him get some sleep. She watched as Lars looked at his brother and smile to him. Twister smile at his brother. They both watched as Lars closed his eyes and went to sleep. The next day Lars walked into the kitchen and saw Reggie, Twister and his mom and dad setting at the table. He looked at them with an odd look.

"What is this all about?" He asked walking over to the table.

"We are worried about you." Sandy said to her son.

"We want you to go to the doctor today." His father said to him.

"I will but…"

"But nothing you are going Lars!" Twister said while standing up.

Lars looked at his brother. He knew that he had to go. He smiled and walked over to Twister and kissed him on the forehead. Lars walked over and got his keys. He smiled at everyone and walked out the door. Reggie watched him leave and hope that he could get help.

A few hour later Reggie was setting in her's and Lars's room. Lars walked in and Reggie tried to stand up but couldn't. Lars laughed and helped her up.

"What did the doctor say?" She asked him.

"Not good."

"What do you mean not good?" She asked him.

"He said that I have to take medication."

"Well that is not bad…"

"No I don't mind taking medication but the medication is over 150 dollars." Lars said putting his hand on to his forehead. He dropped his hand and looked at Reggie.

"Oh wow that is a lot." Reggie moved to Lars's side.

"I have to get a good job if I am to pay for it myself cause the insurance will not pay for it." Lars walked over to the bed and sat down. Reggie walked over to him and stood beside him.

"I don't know what to do Reggie. I have to take the medication, but how can I if I afford it?" Reggie looked over and saw a magazine on their dresser. She walked over to it and picked it up. The magazine had a man in uniform on it. She looked at Lars who at that time looked up at her.

"What?" He asked.

"You could apply for this job." She said walking over and handing him the magazine. Lars took the magazine and looked at it. Then he looked up at her with an unsure look.

"I don't know Reggie a Game Warden. I don't know if I can past the test and if they would want to hire me. I do have a record." Reggie rolled her eyes and sat down on the bed again.

"Lars if you don't try then you will never know and plus they make good money. You can get your medication and our kids will not get in trouble like you did if they know that their daddy is an officer of the law." Reggie giggled. Lars looked at her and smiled. She was right they would be good.

"Okay I'll try but I still think that they will not hire me." Lars said and got up off the bed. Reggie cleared her throat and Lars turned around and helped her up. Reggie leaned up and kissed her husband on the lips.

The next day after class Lars went to the mean office. He walked in and walked up to one of the Game Wardens. The man turned around and looked at him.

"Can I help you?" He said nicely.

"Yes I was wondering where to go to apply to become a Game Warden?" Lars asked. The man smiled at him and showed him were to go. The man walked him to an office. Lars walked in and sat down in a chair that was in front of a desk. The same man walked around the desk and took a set behind in it.

"I'm Sergeant Brett Logan. So you want to be a Game Warden." He said placing his elbows on the desk. Lars nodded his head.

A few hours later Lars walked in to the house. He walked into the kitchen where he found Reggie at. Reggie turned around and saw an odd look on Lars's face.

"What's wrong? What happened?" She asked him.

"I took the test."

"And?"

"I pasted it." He said not believing what just came out of his mouth.

"You did, oh honey that's great. Did you get the job?" She asked him. Lars looked at her and said.

"Yea they gave me the job. They said that I was in such good shape that I may only need a week or two of training and then I will ride with the Sergeant and learn more from him." Lars said in a daze like he could not believe what he was saying. Reggie on the other hand was so happy. She leaned up and kissed him.

"We have to tell everyone." She went to walk off but Lars stopped her. She turned and looked at him.

"What is it? Don't you want everyone to know?"

"Not yet I have a plan." He said with a smile.

A week later everyone was at the Shore Shack. Reggie was setting at one of the tables with Lars's mom and dad. Sandy was rubbing Reggie's belly; she was so happy that she was getting grandkids. Twister, Otto and Sam walked up to Reggie.

"Where is Lars at?" Twister asked.

"He will be coming soon." Just then a Game Warden walked in to the Shore Shack. Everyone looked at the man and wondered what he was doing here.

"Can I have you officer?" Ray asked as he walked over to the man. The man moved and everyone saw Lars dressed in a Game Wardens uniform.

"What the? You are a Game Warden now?" Otto said in disbelief.

"Yep I am." Lars's mom and dad got up and walked over to him. They were so happy that their son was taking a good path. Reggie got up with some help from Twister and walked over to him and kissed him.

"This is Sergeant Brett Logan, I am going to be riding along with him. He is going to teach me everything I need to know."

"It's nice to meet you." Reggie shook the man's hand and smiled at him. The Sergeant tried to take his hand back but Reggie would not let go. He looked at her with an odd look.

"You better bring home to me alive every day." Reggie said with a smile. The man nodded his head.

Two weeks later Lars got paid and got his medication. Reggie was very happy that Lars was on it. She knew that it would help him. Lars had also got things for the babies. He had told Reggie that he was happy working as a Game Warden. One night Lars came home late. He walked into the kitchen and tried to be quiet as possible. He was getting his dinner out of the microwave. He turned around and saw Reggie standing in the doorway.

"I'm sorry honey did I wake you?" He asked her.

"No I was waiting on you to get home." She said with a smiled.

"Oh well I'm home now so you can go bed." Lars said as he pulled out a chair at the table. Reggie walked over and sat down in front of him. Lars started to eat and Reggie asked him what all happened. She smiled to herself while Lars was telling her what all happened that night. She could tell that he was happy with his new job.
