Weekend Getaway

Chapter 1

Over the past five months things have defiantly changed in the Scofield and Burrows household. When Michael and Sara announced their pregnancy Linc and Hannah seem to be just as excited about the baby as Michael and Sara. Just like with the twins Michael and Linc would do everything to make sure Sara was comfortable. Now Hannah was also doing everything she could do as well to help Sara. Their protectiveness always made Sara laugh. She was always joking about how she had two husbands and a wife waiting on her hand and foot whether she needed it or not.

LJ had finished college for the year and had moved back home and was also protective of his favorite aunt. Him and Sara had spent a lot of time together because LJ was interest in Medical School and was helping her out at the clinic and shadowing.

Lately the clinic was becoming very busy and her days were full of patients. As the day finally came to an end, a five-month pregnant Sara was on her way to relax in her office. Opening her door she walked into her usually tidy office. Strolling over to her desk chair she looked over all the bridal magazines and wedding plans that she was looking through to help Hannah and Lincoln for their wedding since she was Hannah's matron of honor.

Sitting down and taking a deep breath, Sara closed her eyes for only a second and then the phone's ringing interrupted her rest. Letting out a groan, she picked up the phone. "Hello"

"Dr Scofield."

"Yes" Sara answered.

"Hi this is Marco Garcia, the photographer for the Burrows and Green wedding."

Sara shuffled through the stuff on the desk. "Oh yes hi, is this about the video option?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment and then began to speak "Actually I have some bad news. Unfortunately my business is going out of business and won't be available to do the Burrows and Green wedding."

Sara rested her hand on her forehead. "The wedding is in November and that's six months and most of the photographer are booked for all of November and December for the holidays." She argued with him for a while but it was no use.

She hung up the phone and laid her head on her desk, as she was very stressed out. LJ knocked on her office door and saw her with her head down on her desk. "Aunt Sara, is everything okay?" he asks her all concerned.

Sara lifted her head and looked at him and smiled "I'm okay but that was your father and Hannah's photographer calling to cancel and the fact that I'm a hormonal pregnant woman doesn't help."

He smiled at her. Sara looked at her watch and she realizes it's time to go pick up Nicole and Matt from school. Packing up her stuff and grabbing her coat her and LJ locked up and headed to the school.

At the school Nicole, Matt and Tyler were busy playing together as their teacher Mrs. Mac told the children to clean up a get ready to go home. Nicole and Tyler walked over to the coat bench together. "Do you want to come and play at my house one day" she asked him.

Tyler smiled as he pulled his coat "Okay, but I have to ask my dad" Tyler told her.

As the two talked, Tyler's dad walked in the door. Tyler looked over Nicole's shoulder and saw his dad. "Daddy" he squealed running over to him. He jumped into his arms. "Hey buddy" his dad said.

Tyler then glanced quickly at Nicole before looking back at his dad. "Daddy can I go to Nicole and Matt's house one day?"

He smiled at his son "I'll have to talk to their mom or dad first okay," he told him and Tyler nodded.

Just then Sara and LJ walked in the door and both Matt and Nicole ran over to them. Sara bent down and puts her arms around them both and planted a kiss on their heads. Next they moved to LJ and began telling him what they did that day. At this moment Tyler's dad turned to see Sara and LJ and right away he recognizes them and wasn't impressed.

"Mommy can Tyler come over and play one day?" Nicole asks tugging on her shirt.

Sara looks up at Tyler's dad and smiled but he didn't return one. Instead he looked at his son and told him to go say goodbye to his teacher. Sara noticed the unfriendly tone in his voice and suggested Nicole and Matt show LJ around the classroom. They both nodded and taking LJ's hand lead him around the classroom. Once they are at a fair distance she turned back to Tyler's father. For the first time he smiled, but it wasn't a very comforting smile. "So your the famous Scofield family" he taunted her and is making Sara very uncomfortable.

"You know your family seems to get as much attention as celebrities here even though you guys are far from it."

Sara glared at him "We don't want our lives plastered all over the media" she told him.

He folded his arms and snapped, "You're not doing anything to stop it. You're still here" talking about her being in Chicago.

"Chicago is our home," said while looking at him as if to say he had no right to tell her where she should or shouldn't live. Sara is now becoming angry with him.

Tyler's dad glanced at his son and then looked back at Sara. "No son of mine is going to be friends with a bunch of criminals who should all be locked up" his voice was firm and no longer quiet.

Sara's hormones were starting to kick in and she was starting to get upset but she did her best to hold back tears. "You know nothing about my family" her voice was also firm but remained at low volume so as to not draw anyone's attention.

Tyler's dad on the other hand didn't care who heard and his voice continued to rise. "Your husband and brother in-law are violent criminals and you are the stupid prison doctor who fell for a con."

LJ heard the man's voice getting louder at Sara and LJ felt very protective of her. He looked at Nicole, Matt and Tyler, he was relieved they didn't seem to notice. Leaving the three busy on the other side of the room, he made is way over to Sara and the man. "Leave her alone!" LJ growled at him.

Tyler's dad just laughed at LJ. "Or what you'll kill me like you killed your mom and step dad" he taunted LJ.

LJ was ready to lunge at him, but a depressed Sara grabbed his arm and held him back. "He's not worth it" Sara whispered to him.

LJ turned to his aunt and sees tears streaming down her face. "We should just go," he told her softly. "This stress isn't good for the baby."

Although LJ had said it quietly, Tyler's dad had over heard and chuckled. "Well so there is another con in the making"

LJ glared at Tyler's dad. Sara was no longer able to hold it in and was crying uncontrollably. LJ called for Nicole and Matt, telling them it was time to go and then led his aunt and the twins out of the school.
