Injury and inquiries.
Both Diana and Andy were knocked out by the impact. An ambulance came. Diana just got had some scrapes and bruises she covered them up with makeup. When she was done she wanted to know how Andy was doing. She asked the desk. "Do you know where Andy O'Gara's room is?" The nurse told her the room.
When she arrived in the room Andy was lying on the bed he looked much worse than she did. "Oh Andy what happened to you!" She said concerned. "THEY DONT KNOW! I THOUGHT WITH ALL OUR TAX DOLLARS GOING TO BUILDING THIS HOSPITAL YOU THINK THEY WOULD KNOW HOW TO USE IT!" Andy yelled. "Come on babe, it just takes time." She walked over to him and ruffled his hair. "I am sure your gunna be fine just calm down." She kissed his cheek "How are you?" He asked. "I'm fine." The doctor came in. "Hello Mr.O'Gara we looked at your x-rays and we have some bad news … we are afraid that the impact has resulted in … (the doctor looked at Andy then at Diana.) I am sorry sir but you will not be able to … conceive a child." The doctor sounded very apologetic. Diana was shocked and Andy was furious. "I would also advise that you avoid intimacy for a week." The doctor said mostly looking at Diana. "I will leave you two alone."
Nether of them talked for a good three minutes. The silence was just making it worse for her. She looked at Andy for the first time since the announcement, he was crying. "Andy there's always adoption look at Joy and Fred." She said. "They adopted because they couldn't wait not because because they couldn't!" He yelled. "Babe they will love you just the same." She said starting to cry aswell. "Don't matter anyway, I shouldn't be a dad!" His voice was uncarictoristicly quite. "Andy! You would be a great dad." Diana rubbing his shoulder. "You said it yourself my temper is out of control!" His voice was a bit louder. "Andy I have only seen you cry once before this and that was when your parents died." She started right in his eyes. "You really care about family I mean the team is kinda like a family and I know you would do anything for any of them even the camera men. You care about people that's what a farther dose." After this there was a silence. "Andy just because you can't have kids doesn't mean you can't be a dad to someone." She said. He smiled a little "come here!" He grabbed her and pulled her in for a kiss.
She looked on the bedside table and saw "Apartments magazine." "Are you thinking of moving?" She asked. "Oh umm … yea." He answered trying to hide the magazine. "Why you love your place?" "Well umm… truth is I was gunna ask you to move in with me." He said this very quickly; but she heard him. She just looked at him stunned; he continued. "You never 100% liked my place so I was looking for one we would both like." He said embarrassed. "It's okay of you don't want to." "No I was actually thinking the same I mean we spend every night together anyway!" She sounded very exited. "Fantastic." This really lifted his spirits. "We can start looking when we get back from Boston." She said. That was his queue to ask the second part of his question. "Actually I was thinking we could look at some in Boston." He added. She sat up straight. "Move to Boston?" She asked surprised. "Just if we find a good place." "But your job, I can move to a new studio just fine but how will you get another coaching job?" He was worried about this question. "Listen Diana I have been thinking a lot and I have talked it over with tons of people from the team (he took a deep breath) this will be my last season as a coach." She gasped. "I wasn't fired, I chose to quit … nothing finalized yet but I think I will be one of the commentators. Oh and you can't tell anyone!" Andy said. She just stared at him. "Diana?" "Sorry I just don't know." She said. "Just see how you like the city next week."
They were interrupted by a nurse opening the door. "Miss visiting hours are over." "Wait am I staying the night?" Andy asked annoyed. "Yea your on to many pain killers to be left alone. Did nobody tell you?" The nurse asked. "No, no one did! Because this is the worst hospital in all of San Francisco!" Andy grumbled. "Well she still has to leave." The nurse said annoyed. "Andy call me and I will pick you up okay?" Diana asked distracting him. "You got it babe." He said. They exchanged a quick kiss and she left the room.
The next day Diana was there before Joy for once. When Joy came in she was ready to tell her about last night but Joy interrupted her before they could. "Diana guess what!" Joy said excited. "I just came from the doctor and … I'm pregnant!" Joy was expecting Diana to be happy but she couldn't tell how Diana was feeling. "Are you okay Diana?" Joy asked. "Oh yea. Congrats Joy." Diana said with as much excitement as she could muster. Joy sat down next to Diana. "Are you sure your okay?" Joy asked. "Yes Joy!" Diana didn't want to make Joy sad after such happy news. When Diana turned around Joy saw a large DARK purple bruise on the back of Diana's neck. Joy was shocked. "Did Andy hit you?" Joy asked scared. "What! No!" Diana said appalled at the accusation. "He would never hurt me! And if I would leave him if he did!" Joys eyes looked sad. "Then were did you get the bruise?" Joy asked. "What bruise!?" Diana thought she covered them all up. "On the back of your neck." Diana was going to have to explain what happened even if it did bring down Joys good mood.
"Don't freak out but … Andy and I got in a car accident." Diana said calmly. Joy inhaled deeply. "It was just a tree and Andy is … fine." She said that last word very worried. "Are you alright?" Joy asked nervous. "Yea I didn't even need stitches but Andy …" she could not say it. "Diana what's wrong with Andy!" Diana stayed silent. "IS HE IS A COMMA!" Joy yelled. "You sound like Fred." Diana said laughing. "Tell me!" Joy usually didn't raise her voice. Diana breathed deeply. "He's fine he I don't … he's fine." "Diana please tell me! I am his friend please tell me!" Joy said putting her hand on Diana's shoulder. Diana started crying a bit. "He can't have … a … he can't have kids." Joy stood there still. "Oh Diana … I'm sorry I … I didn't mean." Joy felt like she was bragging to Diana now. "It's okay Joy and I am very happy for you; don't feel bad about it." She was smiling a little bit. "How far along are you?" "Three months exactly to the date of our wedding day." Joy said smiling. "Dose Gemma know yet?" "Well … not yet." Diana could not imagine how Gemma would respond. "Oh guess what!" Diana asked excited. "What?" "Andy asked me to move in with him!" "Oh you know Fred and I were expecting that." Joy said happily. "Yea and he wants to move to Boston." Diana said forgetting she wasn't supposed to tell. "WHAT! You guys are moving?" Joy said sadly. "Only if we can't find a place." Diana said hopefully. "But do you wanna live in Boston?" Joy said. "Well I looked on there tourist website and it looks like an amazing city!" Diana said smiling. "And Andy loves it so much!" "Who's gunna coach the team?" Joy said confused. Diana had to come up with a lie quick. "Oh we will only live there in the off season."
Later Diana was helping a costumer and Joy was organizing stuff. Then Diana's phone started ringing. Joy looked at the phone and saw it was Andy. This costumer was very important. She answered the phone.
"Hello."
"Hey ba… wait who is this?"
"It's Joy Diana's busy. Are you okay?"
"Let me talk to Diana!"
"Andy she's with a costumer."
"I am more important to her than any costumer!"
"Andy I know you are, but she's at work."
"I wanna talk to her! Please put me on with her!"
"She should be done soon!"
"Tell her to call me back when she's done!"
"Wait Andy are you alright?"
"Yea I just need to talk to her."
"Andy you know what I mean. You spent the night in the hospital!"
"I'm fine I just got a few scratches but I can leave now, so tell Diana to pick me up!"
"Just a few scratches?"
"Yea."
"Diana told me that you're … unable to…"
"SHE TOLD YOU!"
"Andy it's okay!"
"No it's not! I can't believe she told you!"
"Andy! Please don't blame her!"
"Just tell her to pick me up!"
Andy hung up.
A few minutes later Diana was done with the costumer. "Diana. Andy called." Joy said. "Can I pick him up?" Diana asked excited. "Yea, do you want me to cancel the rest of your appointments?" Joy asked. "Yea! He will need me to take care of him!" She said smiling. "Okay I will reschedule them." Joy said a bit worried. He sounded very angry on the phone.
Diana pulled up to the hospital and saw Andy. He opened the door and she leaned in to kiss him but he pushed her away. "Hey what's your problem!" Diana said annoyed. "You told Joy about my problem!" Andy grumbled. "I didn't want to she just got like all crazy. I mean come on! She's our friend she should know." Diana said confused. "You know it's embarrassing!" He yelled. "Andy it's Joy she's not gunna judge you!" Diana said. "She has a family! She doesn't know what it's like for us." Andy said his voice shaking. "Andy we are still gunna have a family!" Diana said. "I'm just worried, my parents never got to be grandparents and I want your parents to have what mine always wanted." she didn't know how to respond. "Please don't leave me Diana!" Andy pleaded. Diana was surprised "Andy I am never gunna leave you!" She pulled up to his building and went with him up to his apartment. "Can I get you anything babe?" Diana said. "Doctor said I need to rest and drink lots of water …oh… and an ice pack." Andy said a bit embarrassed. "Okay." She said smiling a bit.
She helped him to his room and got his stuff. "Tell me if you need anything else okay." She ruffled his hair and kissed his cheek. "Nah its okay you can go back to work." He said. "Joy already rescheduled everything. I'm not leaving." She smiled. "You know sometimes your to good." He laughed.
She was in his kitchen (she was making him his favorite dinner to surprise him.) his landline rang. "Hello." "Hey Diana it's Fred. Joy told me what happened to Andy. Is he alright?" Fred asked worried. "Yea he's asleep right now but the doctor said there wasn't anything else wrong with him." Diana was still very sad about it. "Joy had the idea of going over there tonight, do you think Andy would be okay with that?" Fred asked. Diana though for a bit. "It might cheer him up a bit." She said. "Okay we will be there tonight." He said. "Thanks see ya tonight!"
(…)
Joy and Fred came Joy made some rice crispy squares. "Hey guys Andy's in the living room those pain killers are kinda wearing him out." She said. "I made him some treats!" Joy said heading to the living room Diana followed her. Fred pulled Diana aside.
"Diana is he worried about not having kids?" Fred asked. "Yea ." Diana said. "Are you worried?" He asked. Diana looked at the floor "I am … I know we can adopt and everything but … it's not the same." She said crying a bit. "Diana sometimes it's okay to be worried." He hugged his friend. "You know you were the first friend I made in San Francisco and you introduced me to Andy I should really spend more time with you." Diana said. "DIANA FRED WERE ARE YOU TWO!?" Andy was screaming. "We should go." Fred said. "Give me a minute." Diana said wiping her eyes and retouching her makeup. "Okay." Fred went to living room.
"Where's Diana?" Andy grunted. "She'll be out in a sec." Fred said. "So you guys are moving to Boston!" Joy said happily. "Is there anything she didn't tell you?" Andy said jokingly. "Wait Andy who will coach the team?" Fred asked. "Oh they will only life there in the of season." Joy said. "Is that what Diana told you?" Andy said smiling. "Yea! Please don't get mad at her." Joy said "Oh I'm not!" Andy said smiling even more. Diana came in she walked over and set next to Andy.
"So how's the job search going?" Diana asked. "Well I got a job with the Raiders for next season but Joy isn't having as much luck." Fred said. "I got a job as a part time tutor but still can't find a full time teaching job." Joy said still smiling. "Joy you need to start looking harder!" Diana said worried. "But I can keep being your assistant right?" Joy pleaded. "Umm… Andy can I talk to you in the other room please!" Diana said. "Why?" Andy asked angrily. "Just please!" Diana said. "Fine!" Andy stomped out of the room with Diana.
"What was that about!" Andy yelled. "Andy we have to tell them your retiring!" Diana whispered. "Why you gotta tell everyone everything!" Andy yelled. "Listen Joys gunna be out of a job when we move at the end of the season she has to start looking more seriously!" Diana yelled. "Okay but let me tell them!" Andy said. "Okay." She said. She was heading back in but he grabbed her and pulled her in close. "I love ya okay." He whispered. "I know that!" She laughed. "I don't mean it like that most women your age would have left if I couldn't have kids. That's for staying babe!" He hugged her very tight. "Andy those girls would be the stupidest people in the world!" She said. "Now Joy and Fred are probably wondering what's going on!"
They entered the room. Andy sat down. "Guys when Diana and I move to Boston we won't be coming back." Andy said. "Wait did you get fired!" Fred asked nervously. "NO STICK I DIDNT. I CHOSE TO RETIRE FROM COACHING!" Andy yelled very angry. "Andy calm down." Diana said rubbing his arms. "Wait so your gunna move to Boston at the end of the season … and live there year round?" Joy asked. "Yea." Diana said. Joy looked very hurt "thanks for telling me."
