A/N in my story Sam Houston is the same age as John Spencer
Creed ran through the fields coming across Doc on the trail.
"Doc! Ms. Christy's sick she's burning up and she's got a real bad cough John sent me to get you" Creed said.
Neil frowned and Pulled Creed into the saddle "Come on is she still at school?"
"To my knowledge yes sir" Creed nods
Neil nods "Hold on tight"
Neil clicks his tongue and his horse raced down the trail towards the mission
-Meanwhile-
Sam Houston took charge after Chisty fainted "Get Me the towel by the pump and some water we gotta get her fever down its raging"
Zady ran and got the water and towel and John placed the wet cloth on Christy's head just as Ms. Alice came back with Mountie.
"Oh Child" Ms. Alice Knelt beside the young schoolteacher "What happened children?"
"She had a real bad coughing spell and john sent Mountie and Creed to get you and Doc she begged us not too we gave her some water that's when I noticed the Fever" Sam Houston said
Miss Alice nodded "let's get her to the mission"
John carried Christy to the mission and set her in bed.
"Mama…" Christy moaned
John frowned "Ms. Alice she knows her mama ain't here why she calling for her?"
"Fever messes with your head John but Ms. Christy's gonna be just fine" Ms. Alice said
Ms. Alice stroked Christy's hair and she went back to sleep
John nodded "Yes Ma'am I best be getting home"
John left and Sam Houston checked Chisty over just like Doc would "!02 fever we need to be getting that down and fast let's put her on some ice Ms. Alice"
"Sounds like a smart move' Ms. Alice agreed
But before they did Sam Houston completed the exam
"Ms. Alice do you feel that?" Sam Houston had ran his hands over Christy's belly and felt a small bump.
Ms. Alice did the same "I do indeed"
"I'd say Ms. Christy be about three months along" Sam smiled
"Praise the lord my dear Christy's a Mama" Ms. Alice beamed
They had just put Christy back in bed after Ms. Alice gave her an ice bath when Neil arrived at the mission he had taken Creed home on the way.
"Christy!" Neil called running up the stairs
"Neil calm down!" Ms. Alice hissed grabbing him by the shoulders
"Is she alright?" Neil asked taking loudly and quickly
"No but she will be so for heaven sakes lower your voice and take a breath"
Neil nodded calming down
"Good now you can examine her if you like but Sam Houston is doing a fine job"
"Sam Houston?" Neil asked in surprise
Ms. Alice nodded "The boy seems to have a gift for medicine"
"Well how about that...maybe he could tag along on a few house calls sometime" Neil smiled
"Maybe now go on and see your wife" Ms. Alice pushed him into Christy's room.
Christy was sitting up in bed taking slow sips of water
"Christy love how are you feeling?" Neil stroked her hair
"Lousy, I'm sorry Neil" Christy said softly
"Shhh now love it's not your fault you can't help being sick" Neil soothed his wife
Christy coughed calming down.
"Based on her symptoms i'd say it's a nasty chest cold doc her fever's down to 100.6 and her pulse is steady. " Sam Houston said
"Impressive and Accurate diagnosis lad except chest colds don't cause dizzy spells" Neil frowned
"Oh yes well i needed Ms. Alice's help on that one but i found something interesting" Sam Houston Smirked
"Interesting?" Neil quirked an eyebrow.
"Congratulations Doc and Mrs. MacNiel you are expecting a baby in early October" Sam Houston Smiled
