Picket Fences! Part 25.3



The ambulance soon arrived and stopped in front of the house.



"Is she going to be alright?", asked Rhys.

"I'm taking her to the emergency room at the new hospital. I won't know until after I examine her", said Dr. Brian.



The ambulance was leaving . . .



As Jonathan ran over from next door.

"What happened to Claudia?", he asked.

"I don't know. She was laying on the ground when I got here", said Rhys.



After the ambulance arrived at the hospital . . .



Dr. Brian was able to examine Claudia. He was surprised to see she was pregnant. He hadn't expected that in a young single woman. Dr. Brian went down to the waiting room.



Dr. Brian went down to the waiting room where Jonathan and Rhys were waiting for news about Claudia.

"Is she going to be alright?", Rhys asked the doctor.

"She's still unconscious. There's some cuts and bruises on her face that aren't as bad as they look, but I'm a little concerned about the baby. You knew she was pregnant?"



"Yeah, she told me yesterday", said Rhys.

"Well, you may as well go on home. There's nothing you can do for her here. I'll call you when she regains consciousness", said Dr. Brian.



"So, did you ask Claudia to marry you?", said Rhys.

"Yeah, but she turned me down. She's still hoping you'll change your mind", said Jonathan.





Meanwhile over at Rhys' place . . .



Jasmyn was still there with Ryan.

"Where did Dad go?", asked Ryan.

"I don't know. He got that telephone call, then asked me if I would hangout with you. He said he had to go somewhere", she said.



Just then the telephone started ringng . . .

"Hello!", said Jasmyn.



"It's taking longer than I thought. Can you spend the night?", asked Rhys.

"Sure, I don't mind", she said.

"Thanks, let me talk to Ryan", said Rhys.



"Dad, when are you coming home?", asked Ryan.

"I'm not sure how much longer it'll be", said Rhys, "You go on to bed. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Alright, bye Dad", said Ryan.
