Chapter 20.

The next week at home was uneventful, with the kids playing their leagues and games. Spencer is doing better at his swimming lessons and Aaron is just being the baby. One day, however, everybody is at home and the kids are out in the backyard playing , Aaron is in the sandbox, Spencer is on the swing set with Emily, Derek, David and JJ were passing the softball to each other. Penelope is at work at the ice cream shop. Momma is inside doing some cleaning, washing the laundry and enjoying having the kids out of the house, but within reach if needing her.

There was a loud crash at the street, the older kids ran from the backyard to the front yard to see what crashed. Emily ran inside to tell momma, who went to the front porch to see if anything needed to be done. On the way she picked up the phone and called 911, so that the police could get there. She saw her older one on the lawn out front and headed back to the kitchen, when she heard a loud cry from the back yard. She runs outside and sees Spencer crumpled on the ground under the swing set; Aaron is by him trying to calm him down and see where he may have hurt himself. Momma ran over to him, she tells Emily to get David or JJ to come and get Aaron. Momma takes Spencer inside and checks him over. The older kids came running in because Emily told them that Spencer was hurt.

"Is he okay?" "What happened?" "We shouldn't have left him?"

Momma looks up and sees all of them there, but no Aaron. "Where is Aaron? Emily I told you to have one of them get Aaron." JJ says she'll get him. Once outside, she sees that he is looking at the steps and attempting to climb up them, he is still having difficulties. She runs down the stairs and picks him up and goes back upstairs and into the house. Meanwhile, momma has cleaned Spencer up, but she needs to take him to the emergency room. She tells JJ to go put Aaron in the car seat and she would drive to the hospital with Spencer. She calls Penelope on the way to the car and asks her to come home to watch the kids; otherwise she was going to have to take all of them with her. JJ protests that she can babysit the others until Penelope gets off work; it is just a few hours away. Momma looks at her and nods her head but only because she was taking the two littlest with her.

At the hospital, momma parks the car and takes Aaron out of the car seat and grabs Spencer to take him into the emergency room while holding Aarons hand. At the desk, she says that he fallen off the swing set and she thinks that his left arm is broken. He is still crying and upset. Aaron has his arms around her legs while she is telling the desk this information. She begins to fill out the paperwork and they take the boy to an examination room, Aaron runs after them. She shortly follows her boys and Spencer is still crying and Aaron is standing beside the exam table with concerned eyes.

He says, "You'll be okay Spencer, calm down. Mommy and me are here, we'll get you fixed right up."

The nurse saw this and thought this was very cute, that the baby was trying to reassure his big brother. She mentioned to mommy. "Yes, my children are very close and loving to each other, these are the youngest of seven, and they have good examples which they learned from. Spencer, sweetheart, just sit still and let them check you out."

The doctor came in and examined the boy, "I think he has broken his left arm, but I want to get x-rays to confirm this, would you like to accompany him to the x-ray room. The nurse can watch the baby while we are in radiology."

Aaron heard this and screamed, "NO, stay with mommy." He grabbed her with a hug that would choke anybody else." She picks him up and tells the doctor that he is very clingy, there have been a lot of changes in the past months and he doesn't like to stay with strangers. The doctor has dealt with babies before and allows her to hold him while they x-ray Spencer's arm. Spencer has begun to calm down; they had given him a relaxant. The x-rays show that the arm is broken and would have to be set and put into a cast. Spencer acted like a big boy while they set it and then put a vinyl cast on the arm. They treat him with a sucker when they completed the task. They gave a sucker to Aaron for being a good baby and not getting in the way while they worked.

It was almost six when momma got home with her two little ones. The rest of the family came running out of the house when they saw the car drive up, they were all on the porch playing and looking. Penelope picked up Aaron, while momma carried Spencer into the house.

"He broke his arm?" "Oh, you poor baby." "You doing okay, little buddy?" "How long does he have to wear that thing?"

"Okay, enough of the questions, I have two hungry and tired boys here. I called to have some pizzas delivered; they should be here any minute. Let us go get the table set for dinner and some drinks. She puts Spencer in a chair at the table while Penelope put Aaron in his high chair. The others fix the table and the door bell rings with the pizza delivery man. David gets the food and pays for it with the cash momma gives him. The little boys are given a slice of pizza each, which was cut into bit sized pieces for them to eat. The boys actually barely touch it, since the accident occurred before they had their afternoon naps. The older boys are once again betting on who will fall into the food first.

Mommy goes to Spencer and takes him upstairs to put him to bed. When she comes back down, she goes and gets a bottle from the kitchen. Aaron is still sitting in his chair just looking at his food, but not asleep and not eating. The others have finished off the pizzas and were cleaning up when mommy picked up Aaron and took him to the rocking chair to feed him a bottle. He got through about half the bottle before he was fast asleep. Mommy put him in his crib and Emily crawled into her lap while the others came in and watched a movie.
