It's all part of the story. Be patient
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Listen... I'm not sure how much I can do for you here. I don't keep drugs on my premises."
"I don't want your drugs. I want you to fix my tongue," he slurred.
Taking a look at his tongue, he could see the infection had fully set in. Leaving him to believe that the patient may already be dealing with another illness.
"Look... there is nothing I can do for you. I can give you a perscription for the infection, and some pain killers. As for the rest. You need a Hospital, before that infection kills you."
"You think I don't know that? Are you stupid? I can't go to a God damn Hospital. Don't make me kill you, do something, NOW!!!"
Reaching into the cupboard, he took down the alcohol. Knowing he only had one shot to get it right. He unscrewed the lid, and threw it at Doug's face. Splashing it right into his eyes. Screaming in pain, the doctor grabbed the gun, closed the door, securing it with a chair and called 911.
When Gary and Don arrived on scene, the doctor took them into the room, where Doug was still screaming in pain.
"Help me... help me, God the pain. I can't see."
Pulling him up by his shirt, Gary said...
"It's nothing compared to what you did to that child, and my nephews, you worthless scumbag. Don... get me some ankle bracelets, besides the cuff's."
Once they had Doug cuffed at both ends, Gary allowed the EMT's to assess him. While Don read him his rights.
"He's going to need a Hospital detective."
"That's fne. Don go with them. Make sure the Hospital know that he's to stay fully cuffed."
Nodding that he understood. they headed out the door.
With Doug now behind bars, and another case behind them. Gary and the boys hoped for some peace over the next few days. But then again, this was New York, no one ever knew what to expect.
When Danny arrived at home, he found his pregnant wife sound asleep on the couch. Bending down, he raised her shirt, and kissed her tummy where their child was nestled.
"Mm... Danny. Hi, you're home. Did you catch him?"
"We did Judy. How are you two feeling?"
"Good. The baby has been doing alot of kicking today."
"Has she? I'm sorry I missed it."
"She? You said she."
"I know. I"m not sure where that came from. Just a feeling I guess."
"Aww... no matter what we have Danny, he or she will be very loved."
"I know. I just hope I don't disappoint you as a father."
"You could never do that Danny. Look at the wonderful job you did with your little Claire. She turned out not only smart, sassy, and beautiful, but loving too."
"That was mostly Stella and Mac's love, that did that."
"Don't you dare sell yourself short, Danny. You had alot to do with it. Think that girls love for you, would shine like it does, if you didn't play an important part in her life? She has so much love for you, that at times you would swear she was yours. That kind of passion is very hard to find. You will always be her second hero."
"I guess not. I guess I'm just terrified with being a dad. I don't want to fail as a father."
"That would never happen, Danny. We won't let it. I love you. Keith loves you, together... we are going to raise the happiest little girl/boy in the world."
Pulling Danny up towards her, she kissed him with all the love inside her. Letting him know, that no matter how difficult, how challanging the road became, they would face it together as a family.
