Chapter 29.-The Aftermath-

Around ten in the morning: Sally woke up and ran to the bathroom to vomit. She turned on the shower to let it get warm as she headed to the medicine cabinet for some aspirin for her pounding hoodache. She got into the shower and let the warm water help soothe her hoodache. At the same time Lightning woke up, but unlike Sally he did not have much of a hangover. One thing he did not drink a lot. He also drank as much water as he could before going to bed, an easy trick to prevent a hangover. Lightning's broken axle wasn't painful, but it was so stiff that he had problems making it to the toilet. He did pee on himself a little but since he was alone in his room he didn't mind. Lightning turned on the shower and jumped in shuddering as the cold water hit him. It was only a minute or two before the water warned up. Sally did not feel any better after her shower and laid back down on the bed. Hunter and Tawni came in to check on her. "I feel sick" Sally said "I don't think it's from the hangover." Hunter called Sly and asked for him to come over and check Sally out.

It was only a few minutes before Sly arrived at Sally's suite. He saw Sally lying in bed. "You can't get sick; sister of mine" Sly said "Your wedding is tomorrow." "I know" Sally hoarsely said. He examined her. "You're very dehydrated" Sly said. "Hunter could you please go back to our suite and get a saline bag, one that has vitamins infused in it. How much did you drink last night?" "A lot, I'm surprised that she can remember anything." Hunter said as she left the room. "I can remember most of the evening, but not everything" Sally mumbled. Sly turned back to Sally who started to go though the motions of vomiting again. Tawni acted quickly and put a trash can under Sally's bumper just as she vomited. "What's wrong with me?" Sally asked "I feel it's more than just a hangover." "I think you're feeling the affects of being dehydrated, and it's going to make you feel like crap. That's why Tawni and planed the parties for last night and not for tonight. Knowing that you, Lightning, and most of the wedding party would be hung over" Sly said. "I'm not that hung over..." Sally started to argue. "Who's the doctor here?" he said sternly. Sally saw Hunter come back in the room with the fluid and Sly's medical bag. "Hunter" Sally said playfully. "I'm not that kind of doctor." Hunter said "As Sly, puts it, I'm the brainy kind." "I see that you still can be such a pain in the rear fender when you want to be" Sly said with a grin. He and Tawni got Sally cleaned up. Hunter accidentally left Sally door open and Doc and Sophia was just leaving to do some sightseeing when he heard Sally getting sick again. "Sally I'm going to start an IV on you." Sly said "The fluids will help with the nausea and vitamins will help with the hangover symptoms." Sly examined her right front axle for a good location to start the IV.

"She's got better locations on her left rear axle." Doc said making everyone jump a little. "Thanks Doc" Sly said has he moved around to her rear. He found a good location and genially stuck Sally with the needle and strapped it in place. Hunter took a piece of string and looped it over canopy. She then tired the IV bag to the string and attached a small pump to the IV line. Sly programmed the pump and it started injecting the fluid in to Sally. "You need lay quiet, or your going to get sick again." Sly said to Sally. "You should start to feel better in about an hour." "I can't, I have things that I need to do today" Sally complained. "I don't have time to lay here." "Sally, listen to your brother" Doc growled. "Do what he asks or I'll put in the hospital." "Sally, I'm sure that the girls and I will do what ever needs to be done" Tawni said. "The wedding coordinator is doing most of the work, so there should be very little that needs your attention right now." "The list is there on the table" Sally said "Could someone hand me the remote. I might watch some TV if I'm stuck in bed."

"I need to go rescue my parents from Charlie" Sly said. "Hunter could you stay with Sally until I come back." "Sure my love" Hunter said. "But I'm sure you need a crowbar to get Charlie away from your mother." Doc stopped Sly in the hall and gave him a piece of paper with his phone number on it. "Call me if anything changes" Doc said "Or you need my backup." "Thanks Doc" Sly said "Sally can be hard-hooded when she puts her mind to it." Doc returned to Sally's room. "How are you feeling Kid?" Doc asked Sally "I'm little dizzy." Sally said "You and Sophia go have fun. Sly will keep an eye on me. He'll sit on me if he has to." "Ok, Kid, Sly has my number if he needs it" Doc said. "Just rest and relax, I'll see you at the rehearsal tonight." "Bye Doc" Sally choked out "Bye Sophia" The couple left Sally's suite. Tawni got the list off the table and sat in a chair across from Sally's bed. "Sally there's like ten items on this list" Tawni said. "And none of them are complicated other then the rehearsal tonight." "I know… I'm just stressing" Sally said. "Tawni, could you go and get Lightning's lazy rear fender out of bed. "That's not necessary" Lightning said as he rolled though the door. He saw the IV having from the canopy "What's going on?"

Charlie shot by Lightning squealing with glee when he saw his mother. "You're wife-to-be had a little too much to drink last night." Sly said following Charlie in at a dignified pace "She has a severe hangover." Lightning had to laugh. "I guess this means that I win the bet. "It's not funny Stickers." Sally said and she threw a pillow at him. Lightning crawled in bed with her. "You feel a little warm" Lightning said. "That's because she's dehydrated." Sly said as Charlie climbed up on his hood, and stared directly at Sally and Lightning. "Daddy" he squeaked. "What do you want Charlie?" Sly asked "Daddy" Charlie said and pointed at Sally he then said something in his own baby language. "No, that's Aunt Sally" Sly said "And Uncle Lightning." Sly took him off his hood "Daddy's working, go play." Hunter took a bag of toys and dumped it out on the floor. Charlie squealed happy and dove nose first into the pile of toys. I've been called many things." Lightning said "That's the first time I've been called an uncle." "Well, get used to it, you are going to be one after tomorrow." "Well technically I was already one." Lightning said "Ever since Dogger has been having kids." "I didn't know that Charlie could talk." Sally said "It makes him even more adorable." He's just learning." Sly said "He can say a few dozen words when he feels like it. He is starting to feel comfortable around you if he is starting to talk. Some days he doesn't say a word and there is other days where you can't get him to shut up." The IV bag was half empty, and Sly looked at it. "It'll take another half an hour for the IV is done, just rest. I'm going to get Hunter, Charlie and me some breakfast and then I'll come back and unhook you. Are you starting to feel better?" "Yeah, a little I'm not so sick to my stomach" Sally said "My hoodache is going away too." "Do you feel that you can keep something down?" Sly asked "I can bring you and Lightning something back as well?" "Maybe some coffee" Sally asked "Light do you want something?" "Sure" he said "My nerves are getting to me. I'm not that hungry this morning" "I'm not getting you coffee. Sally that's the worst thing you can have. I'll bring you juice or milk, but nothing that upsets you" Sly left to get the food.

Much to Hunter's surprise Charlie grabbed a few of his toys and crawled on the bed between Sally and Lightning. He sat there happily and played with his toys. Soon, Sly retuned to the room. "Sweetheart look" Hunter quietly said and pointed to the bed. "I think that Charlie likes them." Sly saw his son playing with his aunt and soon to be uncle. "Well they do make a cute couple" Sly said "Mom and Dad are happy that Sally has finally someone that will make her happy, besides that fucking Justin what ever is last name is." "DADDY" Charlie cried when he saw Sly. "Are you hungry, Charlie?" Sly said "I brought us breakfast." Charlie dropped his toys and got off the bed as quickly as his little tires could carry him. He drove to the table and Sly put in his 'high chair'. Hunter sat his food and a sippy cup of milk in front of Charlie and dove into his food making little 'yum, yum' sounds. "The way he inhaling his food" Sally said as the watched from the bed. "It makes you think that he's related to you instead of me." "That's really funny, Sally" Lightning said as he got off the bed. "So funny that I forgot to laugh." "I think he is getting ready for a growth spurt" Sly said. "That's what happed the last time he was a bottomless pit." Lightning went over and retrieved Sally's breakfast, which was toast and orange juice. He served it to her and then joined his soon to be in-laws at the table. They were almost done when the IV pump started beeping. Sly got up and turned it off. "You're all done" Sly said "I'll unhook you when we get done with breakfast."
