Chapter nine: Closure

The court was in an uproar. The sudden appearance and collapse of Karen Roberts took more than a few people by surprise. There she was, lying unconscious on the middle of the courtroom floor, bleeding from between her legs and being tended to by Adam and Dana. Everyone else was starting to crowd around, trying to see who this woman was and why she had appeared out of nowhere. Judge Alexander was trying his best to restore order, but to no avail. There would be no order in this courtroom, at least not now.

There was, however, one person who was completely calm in the middle of all of this chaos. Chris knew who Karen was of course, and more to the point, he knew WHY she was there and how she had gotten in the state she was in. He looked around; trying in vain to see a way out of the situation, but deep down he knew that he was finally trapped. How was he supposed to know that she was serious about trying to take him down? He had beaten her just to make sure that that very thing did not happen. Obviously, he should have done a better job. And that blood coming from between her legs could not bode well for him. If that baby growing inside of her died, then he knew that he would not see daylight for quite some time.

Dana and Adam were working feverishly over Karen. They had no idea who she was, but their medical training had kicked in almost immediately.

"Carter!" Dana called to her husband, "please get these people back away, I need to find out where this bleeding is coming from and I am sure that she would appreciate a bit of privacy."

Carter nodded and with the help of Rocky, Jason, and Kat, soon had a small area cleared away from the stricken woman. While Adam checked her
pulse and respiratory rate, Dana concerned herself with the blood, and what she saw concerned her deeply. She saw where the blood was coming from and just how much it was, and made the decision immediately. She turned to face the judge who was looking on waiting for information so he could make a decision on what to do next.

"Your honor, we need to get her to a hospital right now. She is losing too much blood for my liking and I can only stop it so much."

He nodded. "This court is adjourned until tomorrow morning at 9:00. Mr. Skullovich and Mr. Maxwell, if any new information presents itself before that time due to recent events, you may present them to me in my chambers one hour before that. I will make my decision at that time."

He banged his gavel just as a crew of paramedics rushed into the room, having been called by the court bailiff. Karen was quickly loaded up and secured onto the gurney, with Dana straddling her with her hands pressed onto her body, trying to control the bleeding.

Tommy and Kim had been silent through this whole process. Upon seeing Karen, Kim not only knew who she was, but also knew why she was in the state she was in. She should, Chris had put the same kind of marks on her just a few months ago. Tommy had seen her face turn the palest shade of white that he had ever seen, and knew right off what was wrong. He put his arm around her and drew her close to him, seeking to comfort her in any way that he could. She felt stiff in his embrace, but it did not take long for her to melt into it and bury her face into his chest. Though it all though, Tommy could not help but think that this whole ordeal was finally over.

The next day, Tommy's feeling became fact. Skull paid a visit to Karen's hospital room that same night she was admitted, and with two policemen as witnesses, she told him everything that had happened that day. Chris could not get himself out of trouble this time, the first time his connections could make a case for him, but this time, not only did he beat a woman, but that beating caused her to spontaneously abort, which was the cause for the profuse bleeding. Dana had tried, but she just could not stop the bleeding. With that, Chris was charged with assault and manslaughter. It was an agreed upon fact that he would be going to prison for a fair amount of years. Karen would heal, at least physically, but it would be years, if at all, before she recovered mentally. She did, get the surprise of her life when on the second day of her hospital stay, Kim came to visit her.

Flashback:

"Tommy, I don't know why, but I have to go see her.'

"But why Beautiful? She was your husband's mistress; she had a part in making your life miserable for who knows how long?"

"I know Tommy, I know. But she has suffered just as much as I have at his hands, now she knows some small part of what I had to deal with. I think that we both need to move on with our lives, we both need closure. I want her to know that I forgive her."

Tommy thought about this, and could find no valid reason to argue. She did have a point. So in the end, he agreed that she should go.

Both women were wary of each other at first, but it was not long before both of them had broken down and had ended up crying in each other's arms. Karen may never be her best friend, but they had found a common bond and were both better people for having lived through it. Kim left Karen's hospital room having found the closure that she so desperately needed.

Finally, she could escape the limbo she had been trapped in for over ten years.

Two years later:

If someone had told Kim three years ago that she would be married to Tommy Oliver and be eight and a half months pregnant with his child, she would have called the nuthouse. But here she was, married to the most wonderful man on the planet and about to give birth to her third daughter. Samantha and Rebecca were thriving in their new life. They no longer had the nightmares that had plagued them since the night Chris had assaulted her and were excelling both in school and in their social lives. They rarely even asked about Chris and had taken to calling Tommy "Dad". It helped that he had applied to legally adopt them as soon as Kim found out she was pregnant.

Chris was sentenced to twenty years in prison with the possibility of parole. He wanted his girls to visit often, but Kim only did so when they asked to, which was not often. Prison did seem to agree with Chris, from all reports he had turned over a new leaf and was even teaching a small bible study class to fellow inmates. Kim hoped that he had truly changed, but after what she had been through, she still had her doubts.

One week later, after just a six hour labor, Kim gave birth to their third child, Amber Nicole Oliver. She had her father's dark hair and brown eyes and her mother's mouth. All in all, she was a beautiful child. As she looked down at her infant daughter in her arms with her loving husband and precious daughters at her side, Kim could only think of one thing.

I was wrong. I do deserve to be happy.

And that, my friends, is the end. I hope that you all enjoyed my little take on "the letter" and thanks for sticking with me through that trip. Thank you all for the reviews both kind and not so kind, though the former have outweighed the later by a ton. As always, if anyone is interested in writing a sequel or side story for this story, please let me know. I will more than likely not write one myself. Also, reviews make me smile so review away!
