Frankie strolled down the halls of P.V.H. it was mid morning in another hour Randi was meeting him here for their first appointment with the OB/GYN. They were going to be able to hear the baby's heart beat today and he couldn't wait. Learning that Randi was pregnant was a bright ray of hope in all the tragedy they had experienced.
"Franklin!" a man's voice called out behind him. He turned to see his father walking down the hall leading JR Chandler towards him.
"Hey Dad! What can I do for you?"
"I need someone to look at JR's hand. I went by the ER and they're swamped do you have some that can take a look?"
Frankie looked down at his watch trying to figure out if he would still have enough time to make it to Randi's appointment, "Um…yeah I can take a look at it. Take him down the hall and a nurse will get him set up in a room."
While Jesse got JR set up in an exam room Frankie sent a quick text to Randi, "Hey Baby! Got a last minute patient. I may be a little late but I'll be there for the appointment. Love you!" He put his phone back in his pocket and met up with Jesse in the exam room.
As Frankie entered the room Jesse was removing the cuffs from JR's wrists. Frankie pulled up a chair across from the table JR was seated on. He began to examine the man's badly swollen hand.
"What happened to your hand JR?" Frankie asked.
"I got in a fight with a wall at the mansion." The angry tone to his voice was undeniable.
"It looks like the wall won."
"Yeah well just wait until round two." He said sarcastically then winced in pain as Frankie put pressure on his knuckles.
"Sorry JR round two will have to wait awhile. It looks like you broke your knuckles. I'm going have them take you upstairs for an X-Ray to see how bad the break is."
"Yeah ok whatever."
"OK…well I'm going to go order the X-Ray. I'll be back when they're ready to take you." Frankie stood up and left JR in the room by himself.
JR sat on the examining table and thought of nothing but the mess his life was in. He had spent the night alone in a cell. Spending so much time alone left a person with nothing else to do but think.
He had come to the realization hours ago that once again Marissa was ruining his life. He had done everything he could think of to make her love him so they could be a family again. She took his kindness and threw it back in his face.
She chose another woman over him. She stomped all over his heart and to make everything worse she took his son from him. That was his little boy the last part of Babe he had left and she turned him against his real family.
He sat there thinking about how everything was her fault. If she hadn't turned everyone against him he never would have had to kidnap his own son. If she had loved him like she promised to he never would have had that gun that night. If she didn't drive him to drink his anger would never had drove him to pull that trigger. It was because of her that those people were shot.
JR sat in the middle of the exam room and allowed the Chandler trait of lack of empathy overtake him. In his mind he absolved himself of any responsibility for his actions placing that on the one he felt betrayed him.
He began to formulate a plan to get his son back. To get him out of the grips of those Lesbians that were raising him. His first step was getting this lawyer his father called in to get him out of this mess so he could get back to his life.
Chief Hubbard stood in the hallway outside of the exam room. He leaned against the wall finally getting a moment to rest. These last few weeks had been more exhausting than he could have ever imagined. He had barely spent any time with his family. When he got home he went right to bed and after a few hours of restless sleep it was back to the station house. Now he had a moment to himself. He rested his head on the wall and closed his eyes.
The sound of footsteps around him kept him from giving into the sleep that threatened to consume him. As he listened to the sounds around him he suddenly felt a set of arms wrap around his waist. He opened his eyes and found Angie resting her head on his shoulder. She too had spent so much time consumed with work. He held her close for a moment enjoying her soft embrace.
"Hey baby. I've missed this." He whispered in her ear as he kissed the top of her head.
"Me too. I will be so grateful when this is all over and we can spend just one night just the two of us." She answered back.
"Sounds like a plan. How are the patients doing?" He had been so busy he hadn't heard much about how the shooting victims were doing.
"Good. I'm sure you heard Brooke and Marissa have both been released. Scott and Kendall are healing nicely from their wounds. Greenlee's going through some intense physical therapy but that's one tough cookie."
"And AJ?" he asked.
"He's in surgery now. Griff and David called in one of the best Pediatric Cardiologists and the three of them are in the O.R. now trying to repair the damaged to his heart that the infection caused."
"I heard about the surgery. How's that going?"
"They've been in there for a few hours. Last I checked it was going well but they weren't even half way done."
The talk of his son perked JR's interests. He could hear Angie telling Jesse about the surgery his son was going through. No one had told him about AJ being so sick. Why hadn't Adam said anything to him. That was his son he needed to be there with him making sure the boy knew how much he loved him. JR jumped off the table and started to walk towards the hallway.
"Hey hey hey. Where do you think you're going?" just then Frankie returned to the room.
"I heard your parent's talking about my son. What's going on?" JR demanded to know what was going on with his son.
Frankie explained what was going on with AJ and noticed the anger building in JR's eyes.
"David Hayward is near my son? That quack will kill my son just like he killed his daughter." He tried to push Frankie out of his way.
"JR you need to calm down. David's not actually operating on AJ he's only there to give his medical opinion. Besides you have no right to AJ right now JR. Now sit down and let me take you upstairs to get that hand X-Rayed." Frankie stood in JR's way asserting his authority.
JR stared into the doctor's eyes wishing he could punch that smug look off his face. He knew if he did that there was no way he was going to be able to get away from here and get to his son. After a few intense moments between the two men JR sat down in the wheel chair and let the orderly take him upstairs. As they made their way upstairs JR thought of ways to get away from Chief Hubbard and his pain in the ass son and find out what the hell Marissa was letting those quacks do to his son.
