Accidental Family
Chapter 8
The guys slept in and when they did get up, They decided to stop at a fast food joint, get a couple of sausage biscuits, some juice to go, and head for home. After a couple of short stops, they arrived at the ranch near midday.
Dan and Greg came out of the house and was at the car before Gene and Bill had a chance to even get out. Gene and Bill could tell that something serious was wrong.
"Gene, We have some very bad news for you. Your grandfather has been hospitalized and is in very critical condition. After you called last night, he had a very serious heart attack and is in the ICU unit at the hospital. Grandma and the twins are there with him. We wanted to be here when you two arrived. Dan and I are not immediate family, so we couldn't get in to see him. The nurse did sneak us in for a couple of minutes. We didn't want to call you and upset you so much that you wouldn't be able to make it home all in one piece," said Gregg.
"I am glad that you didn't call. I know that I would have killed both of us trying to get home. Dan and Gregg, would you take me to the hospital. I know that I can't take myself."
"That is what we had planned on doing. Why don't the both of you climb in the back seat of the car and we will be on our way," said Greg. "Bill, I called the police department and moved you appointment tomorrow. We will not have to leave and go there today."
Bill just slid over next to Gene and took him in his arms. "Gene, remember you told me that you would be my crutch. Now I am going to be your crutch. I am going to be at your side holding you up. So do like you told me, `let it all out'." The two boys just sat there holding each other and crying. Dan and Greg shed a few tears of their own.
"Hey Guys! We are pulling into the hospital parking lot. I want both of you to hit the men's room and wash your faces. Gene, you are going to need to be strong. Your grandmother and the twin will be looking to you for moral support and strength. Don't let them down. This will probably be one of the hardest things you'll ever have to do. You can do it!" said Dan.
Before Gene went into the room to see his grandfather, he said, "I am going to go into the chapel for a few minutes and then I will go in."
Reverend Baker was in the waiting room and saw Gene go into the chapel. "Dan and Greg, I'll wait a few minutes and then I will go in with him. He needs a little time to himself. At least he knows that he doesn't have to go all the way by himself. God will take care of him."
"Thanks, Reverend. I think we will all need you before all of this is over," said Greg.
Gene came out of the chapel and he looked like all the weights had been lifted from his shoulders. Gene went inside his grandfather's room. He went immediately to his grandmother and took her in his arms. He just held her and gently stroked her hair. The twins came to him and he took them in his arms and held them. No words were needed.
"Gene, I have the paper work needed to take Grandpa off the life supports. Grandpa also wanted to be an organ donor. This is something we both have always wanted. I have already talked with the doctor and he is in agreement. He will disconnect the machines when we are ready. Honey, I hate to ask this of you but I know that I couldn't ask the doctor to remove Grandpa from the life support. Would you do it for me?" Grandma handed him the paper work and fainted. Gene caught her and put her in a wheel chair and pushed her to the waiting room.
"Reverend Baker, would you please get the doctor and come into the room with him. It is time!" said Gene who was crying uncontrollably. Bill was by his side immediately and had him in his arms.
"Of course, I will be back in just a few minutes. Why don't you just wait for us here in the waiting room."
"I think that we all want to go in and tell Grandpa good-bye. We'll all come back out when you return. So give us 5 minutes. Thanks!" said Gene.
Everyone went into the room and said their good-byes. Grandma and Gene remained, one on each side of the bed holding Grandpa's hand. "Grandpa, I know you can hear me. Grandpa, you know how much we all love you. Grandma and I just wanted to let you know that it ok for you to go now. Walk slowly and we will catch up with you soon," said Gene "Goodbye, Grandpa. I love you"
The doctor and Reverend Baker came in the room and Gene handed the doctor the paperwork. "Grandma and I will wait in the waiting room. Reverend Baker would you stay and be with Grandpa. I don't think either one of us can hold up. We will be in the chapel."
"I would be happy to."
Grandma and Gene left the room. "Grandma, Grandpa told me good-bye. He squeezed my hand."
"He squeezed mine, also." *****
Gene and Bill joined the haying crew. There was a lot of physical work and muscle building to get them in shape for the football season which would be there in about six weeks.
Bill almost never left the ranch. He still had a lot to leave behind him before he would be comfortable going out into public places. Gene started taking Bill for a `ride' each day. They would drive by all the old hangouts and started seeing a lot of the kids that they knew. The kids always waved at them and soon Bill started waving back. This all gave Bill a feeling of security and maybe, just maybe he would be accepted.
They drove by the Pizzeria and could see that there were a lot of the kids in there. This was one of favorite local hangouts for kids of all ages. Gene pulled into the parking lot and shut of the engine. Bill started shaking and was visibly upset.
"Gene, I don't want to go in there. I just don't know what will happen and I know something bad will happen. Can we just go?" pleaded Bill.
"Bill, I will run in and get us a couple of cokes and we can drink it here in the Car. Will you be okay in the car without me?"
"I don't know. I feel sick to my stomach and I feel like I am going to pass out. Can we just go, please?
"Okay," Gene said. "We can go maybe come back some other time."
They were just sitting in the car, Gene was talking to Bill trying to ease the pressure a little and get him to relax some. Bill started to feel a little more at ease. A boy walked up and rapped on the window. "Hey, Bill and Gene. It is really nice to see you."
Bill rolled down his window. "LeRoy, This is a pleasant surprise. Hop in and let's catch up on all the happenings."
LeRoy got into the back seat. "Bill, I thought that you had left the country. Haven't seen you for a long time. I drove by you place the other day and I saw a sold sign on it. I just knew you were gone."
"I have been at the correctional institution serving my time. I received an early out. I have been staying at Gene's place. Dad signed all of his personal estate over to me and I put the house on the market. I just couldn't bear the thought of moving back into it."
"Hey Guys, I hate to be Mister Killjoy but we really must be going. Bill and I are both working in the hayfields and round two will start in a half hour. Let's try to hook up soon. I will give you a call and let you know when," said Gene.
"Sounds like a plan. Later!" LeRoy said and got out of the car.
Gene drove out of the parking lot. "You see, Bill, that wasn't to bad. I just didn't want to stay longer and have you get upset again. That was a great thing you did back there. You actually started talking about you past and even to one of the guys from school. Good for you!"
"Gene, I surprised myself, also. LeRoy put me at ease and I just started talking. Felt good all over. You are right, we need to give him a call for a get together. I just crossed one bridge and I know there are a many more to cross. Thanks, Man. You are the best!"
"Bill, I have told you many times that there is good in everyone. You just have to let it out a little at a time. Today is just the beginning."
