Chapter 8 : Nerves and Misery
Monday Afternoon - Clinic
The next morning came early for everyone who had seen the new enemy known as the Biohazard and for AMW who got in late after taking RJ to the clinic. RJ ' s chest X-ray came back clean , so , he was just put on an inhaler to deal with the asthma . But , James and Chris had to go back to the clinic early the following morning .
" Go on in the waiting room , Grace , while I sign in . " Jessie said to her as they walked in for Grace ' s check up with the Cowboy.
" Yes ma ' am , " Grace said spotting Andy Douglas sitting in the waiting room looking nervous .
Grace walked over to one of her favorite people to talk to in TNA outside of her dad and Storm . Andy and Chase had always been close to her since the hostage situation when she was held in that house by those bad people.
" Andy , " Grace said sitting next to him .
" Grace , what are you doing her ? " Andy asked .
" I have an appointment with Storm , mom ' s over there signing me in . " Grace said as they both looked at Jessie at the desk .
" Uh huh , " Andy said .
" Why do you look nervous ? " Grace asked .
" Debra hasn ' t been feeling well lately , so , she came by to see your dad . " Andy said .
" Are you nervous because of my dad's long speeches or for some other reason ? " Grace asked .
" Some other reason , " Andy chuckled a little .
" What ' s the other reason ? " Grace asked .
" We think that Debra could be pregnant . " Andy said .
" Why would that make you nervous ? " Grace asked .
" Don ' t want to mess things up . " Andy said .
" Dude , you are already a great dad , so , why should now be any different ? " Grace looked at Andy .
" Maybe its age getting to me . " Andy said .
" I am going to tell you like I do dad , you ' re not that old . " Grace said .
" Thanks , I will remember that , so , how is your sister after last night ? " Andy asked .
" You guys already know ? " Grace looked at Andy .
" Yeah , your dad and Storm called Chase and myself after meeting the Biohazard last night . " Andy said .
" My sister is okay , but I am the one who is pissed off at them . " Grace said .
" For ? " Andy asked .
" I can ' t stand knowing that the ones who had me and Katie also has those pictures of my sister . " Grace said making Andy look at her .
" Your dad mentioned that you were wanting to fight with the family now , " Andy looked at her .
" Yes I do , Andy . " Grace said .
" Why ? " Andy asked curiously .
" Because I have just as much right as the rest of you to protect our family and I am not going to watch like I did when Trifecta was around when someone tries to hurt one of us . " Grace said looking Andy in the eyes .
" Alright then , " Andy said .
" I ' m not the same scared little kid you and Chase pulled out of the burning house , anymore , Andy . " Grace said as Andy saw the fire in her eyes .
" I believe you , but remember this is a family and with our family you don ' t have to fight alone okay baby girl . " Andy said to her making Grace smile at Douglas calling her baby girl for the first time in years .
" I ' ll remember , " Grace said wondering if asking Andy about what else was on her mind would be a good idea .
" What are you thinking about ? " Andy realizing she was deep in thought .
" Has Chase or Traci said anything about what ' s going to happen with Katie once the creep that hurt her is put away ? " Grace asked hoping she wasn ' t overstepping any boundaries.
" They were talking over it the last time I asked them , but they haven ' t came up with a definite answer yet . You concerned for Katie ? " Andy asked .
" Yes , " Grace said .
" Well , Grace , I promise that Chase and Traci both will make sure she is safe no matter what happens okay . " Andy said .
" Okay , " Grace said hugging Andy .
" I see , Grace found a friend . " Jessie said walking over to Andy and Grace after speaking with Laura at the desk .
" Hey Jessie , any news on what happened last night ? " Andy asked .
" No , not yet , but Team Canada got whatever was left in their locker room by the Aces & Eights and we are going to talk about it Saturday with the rest of the extended family . " Jessie said .
" Debra and I will be there and I will go ahead and let Chase and Traci know to be there as well . " Andy said .
" Why is it that all of these groups want to come after the extended family ? " Grace asked .
" Because they haven ' t figured out who they are messing with , Grace . " Andy said .
" Most people by now have realised that TNA is really building up know and some of those people are bad Grace . Some of them want to take TNA for themselves and they know the only way they can do that is by trying to take out the ones standing in their way like the extended family . " Jessie explained .
" They are not going to get TNA . " Grace said .
" Exactly , but some will try even if the effort is in vain . " Andy said as Chris came over to get Andy .
" Debra needs you Andy in the room . " Chris said .
" Okay , I will see you two Saturday . " Andy said .
" Yep , " Jessie said .
" Later Andy , " Grace said hugging him before letting Andy leave .
" Anything happen today ? " Chris asked .
" Nothing interesting if that ' s what your asking . " Grace said .
" Sure , " Chris said as Grace hugged him .
" Jarrett said he would be at the meeting Saturday . " Jessie said .
" Good , " Chris said relieved .
Just then Laura came over to get Grace for her appointment .
" Go ahead , Grace . " Chris said .
" Yes sir , " Grace said as she followed Laura to an empty exam room .
" So , how is school go , Grace ? " Laura asked as most of the staff at the clinic was well acquainted with both Harris and Storm ' s family .
" Getting harder , but its good , you okay ? " Grace asked realizing that Laura was wanting to ask something .
" I was wondering . " Laura said .
" Yes , " Grace pressed on .
" Its silly , " Laura said .
" Good then both of us can laugh . " Grace said .
" Okay , uhm , is Eric Young dating anyone , Grace ? " Laura asked .
" No , hey wait a minute , do you like EY ? " Grace asked .
" Maybe , a little , yeah , " Laura kept changing answer .
" So is it maybe , a little , or yeah ? " Grace asked .
" Its more like a lot . " Laura said .
" Laura , you should tell him . " Grace said .
" I don ' t know , what if he doesn ' t like me ? " Laura asked .
" You can ' t live your life by a what if , " Grace said as walked into the exam room .
" You right , but is he difficult to talk to ? " Laura asked .
" No , Eric is probably the easiest guy to talk to and get along with . " Grace said .
" Okay, maybe I will talk to him . " Laura said .
" Good , " Grace said .
" Alright , Grace , Dr. Storm should be in here soon . " Laura said .
" Okay , " Grace said as Laura left the room .
Grace only had to wait for a little while before James came into the exam room to deal with her exam .
" You have perfect timing doc . " Grace joked at Storm .
" Funny , " James smiled a little after being miserable this morning with the Biohazard issues and Jackie finding out that AMW had been keeping the Derek Shultz news from her .
" Thank you , for helping to find my sister last night . " Grace said .
" No problem little one . " Storm said .
James went through the exam process with Grace and asked her if she was having any problems which she wasn ' t having any except that she could tell that Storm wasn ' t himself at the moment .
" Alright , Grace , I will talk to your dad about scheduling your next appointment in about six months okay little one . " Storm said .
" Okay , " Grace said still deep in thought .
" What ' s on your mind , kid ? " James asked .
" Is this worse than the last time ? " Grace asked .
" Huh , " Storm said a little confused .
" This situation with Biohazard , is it worse than with Trifecta ? " Grace asked .
" Its hard to tell the difference since they use ideas from other factions the family has faced in the past , but it definitely seems worse . Why do you ask ? " James looked at Grace .
" Everyone seems on edge a lot more than with everyone else the family has faced . " Grace said .
" It does seem like it , but some of us are a little tired with having to put up with issues popping up for the family , Grace . " Storm said .
" I see , " Grace said .
" Alright , lets go so you can get home . " James said .
" Okay , " Grace said following James out to where Jessie and Chris were talking over the issues with the family and RJ ' s condition .
" Everything okay ? " Chris asked .
" She didn ' t cough up any hairballs so yeah she ' s good . " Storm said .
" Hey , " Grace said laughing .
" Alright , I will take her home and let AJ and Daniels go home . " Jessie said .
" They watching Rosie and the twins ? " Storm figured .
" Yeah , " Jessie said .
" With the Biohazard around it seemed like the best idea to keep have someone keeping an eye on the kids when we can ' t be there . " Chris said .
" Yeah , Biohazard , " James sighed .
" What ' s wrong ? " Chris and Jessie both asked .
" Nothing , I ' m fine , " Storm said and walked off .
" He ' s not okay , " Grace said .
" Huh ? " Chris and Jessie looked at her .
" He ' s miserable , " Grace said .
" Issues last night stacked up faster than anyone else we faced , so , its bound to stress some of us out . " Chris said .
" Yeah , but even with issues before , the Cowboy was still able to laugh and have fun , but now its like he is having to force himself to make jokes just people will think he ' s okay . " Grace said .
" He and Jackie were having problems last night . " Jessie said .
" Alright , I ' ll talk to him about , but you two need to go on home and let Daniels and AJ go . " Chris said .
" Okay , " Jessie said .
" Yes sir , " Grace agreed as she hugged her dad .
After Jessie had hugged and kissed her husband she and Grace left the clinic with Chris now wondering what happened with Storm and Jackie after they had left the Harris home last night .
