I have been working on this fan fic for the LONGEST time, and I'm finally going to post it. It's just the beginning but I'll have more typed in soon. I told myself that I'd post it before summer is over, and, considering the fact that I start school on Tuesday, I decided to post today. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Some facts throughout the fan fic might not match up with the year. You might not even notice them, but if you do, don't kill me. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
Note: Wes is the science teacher from the last two episodes. Ben is the guy that Natalie went to the Sadie Hawkins dance with.
May 1993

Jo and Rick Bonner, Blair and Wes Mitchell, Natalie and Ben Cohen, Tootie and Jeff Williams, and Beverly Ann Stickle were all sitting around the Bonner’s kitchen table one night. Rick stood up. “Can I get anyone some more coffee?” he asked.
“Sure. Thanks, honey,” said Jo with a smile. “Hey, you guys, Rick’s birthday is coming up in July. We’re going to go to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park, and you’re all invited. I just need to know how many ticket to get.”
“Sounds great, Jo!” Natalie said.
“Yeah!” said Tootie enthusiastically.
“Are you sure you should be going to a baseball game being pregnant and all?” said Jeff with a look of concern on his face. Ben looked at Natalie and nodded in agreement.
“Jeff, I’m not due for another four months!” Tootie exclaimed
“And I still have three more months to go. Come on, guys! It’ll be so much fun!” said Natalie.
“Well, okay,” said Ben.
“Alright, I guess,” agreed Jeff.
“Oh, I’m sorry Jo. I promised Andy we would take a real vacation this year, and we’re going to be away then,” said Beverly Ann.
“It’s okay, Bev. No problem,” said Jo. “So, where are you going?” she asked.
“Guess!” said Beverly Ann.
“Florida? California?” said Tootie.
“Hawaii?” said Natalie.
“Nope,” said Beverly Ann with a big grin on her face. “Appleton, Wisconsin!”
“Oh,” replied everyone else.
“We’ll get to visit the farm I grew up on and see all the cows and fields and horses. Oh, boy! I can’t wait!” exclaimed Beverly Ann.
“How nice,” said Natalie in a rather sarcastic tone.
“What about you, Blair? Are you and Wes gonna come too?” asked Jo.
“Why not? Count me in,” said Blair. “You want to come too, honey,” she asked her husband.
“Sure! I’ve never been to Boston before, and I’ve always wanted to see Fenway,” said Wes.
Rick sighed, “Boston – my hometown.”
“Rick, you’re from Boston? I never knew that. I knew you were a Red Sox fan, but I never knew you were from Boston. Say ‘Park the car in Harvard Yard’. I want to see if you have a Boston accent,” said Natalie all in one breath.
“Well, you see, I was born in Boston, but we moved to Springfield – where my mom is originally from – when I was, like, three months old. My dad died when I was five, and two years later, his little brother died. He had lived in Boston to take care of my grandmother. So, when I was seven, my mom and brothers and sisters and I moved back to Boston to live with and take care of my grandmother. I lived in Springfield when I learned to talk so I never got the Boston accent. When we moved back to Boston, my mom told me she never wanted me to ‘lose my R’s,’” explained Rick.
“Of course. Because then your name would be ‘Ick!’” Blair laughed. Everyone else just rolled his or her eyes.
“Wow, Rick. I never knew all that about you. It’s so sad about your dad, though,” said Tootie
“Why in the world would you leave exciting Boston to come to sleepy, old Peekskill?” asked Natalie.
“I lived in Boston with my mom and grandma through high school. After high school, my mom wanted me to go to college. So I went to school at Langley and got my Masters while working a job and still trying to concentrate on my music,” said Rick. “I kept at my music for a while, made a few bucks, started hanging out at the center, met a beautiful woman, and the rest is history,” Rick smiled at Jo.
“You went to Langley?” Blair said in amazement.
“Yes, Blair. He’s not a complete idiot…the key word there being ‘complete,’” Jo grinned as Rick pretended to be hurt.
“How come we never ran into you on campus?” Blair asked.
“Probably because I’m six years older than you and Jo. I was out of Langley before you arrived there,” Rick said.
“So, you guys are in for the game?” Jo asked.
“Yup,” they replied.
“Okay, I’ll order the tickets tomorrow,” Jo said. Just then Katie Bonner, Jo and Rick’s three-year-old daughter, sleepily wandered into the room.
“Hey, cutie. What’re you doing up?” Jo said picking up her daughter. “We’re all going to see that baseball game I was telling you about,” Jo said.
“Katie, tell everyone what you’re going to be cheering at the game,” said Rick.
“Go Sox!” Katie said.
“No, no, no. Remember what Mommy told you? It’s ‘Go Yankees!’” said Jo.
“Go Yankees!” said Katie.
“No, honey. It’s ‘Go Red Sox!’” said Rick.
“Don’t listen to our silly daddy. It’s ‘Go Yankees!’” said Jo. The three-year-old looked up at Beverly Ann in bewilderment.
“Don’t ask me, sweetie. I’m from Wisconsin,” Beverly Ann said.
“Yeah, all they’ve got is the Brewers,” Rick said under his breath to Jo.
“No kidding,” Jo whispered back. “The highlight of those games is the sausage races,” she laughed. Jo saw her daughter’s eyes beginning to droop. “Well, let’s get you back to bed. We have to be quiet, though. We don’t want to wake up your little brother,” Jo said picking up Katie who was falling fast asleep again. Jo left to bring Katie back upstairs.
“I’d better get going now,” Beverly Ann said. “I’m beginning to fall asleep myself,” she laughed.
“Okay, Beverly Ann. G’night,” said Natalie.
“Night,” replied everyone else. Jo came back into the kitchen.
“She’s sound asleep,” she said with a smile on her face. “Oh, Beverly Ann, are you leaving?”
“Yeah, I’m pretty tired,” Beverly Ann said.
“Well, take some food home with you. Here. Eat it tomorrow for supper,” Jo said handing Beverly Ann some containers full of leftovers.
“Thanks, Jo! Bye!” Beverly Ann said leaving.
“We should get going now, too,” Jeff said.
“I’ll get your coats,” said Rick.
“Yeah, us too,’ said Natalie.
“Same here,” said Blair. Everyone got their coats on and headed out the door.
“Bye! Talk to you later, Blair!” Jo shouted as everyone left.

Well, take them out to the ball game already!haha! JK!! it's good, keep going!!

I'm really sorry for the delay. I started school on Tuesday and already have a ton of homework. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif Thank you to everyone who replied. I'm glad you liked it. I really appreciate the replies.
I'd also like to thank my "consultants" on this story - my mom and hockeybabe. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif Okay, well enough chit-chat...here's more.
July 26th, 1993

“Okay, Rick, everybody is going to meet here at about 7:30 tomorrow morning. We should, hopefully, be on the road by 8. We should hit Boston by noon-ish and the game is at one,” Jo said. “Oh, and we’ll swing by your mom’s place to drop off Danny before the game.”
“Okay. I still think Danny should come to the game, too. It could be very educational,” Rick said.
“I know our son is smart, but – I hate to break it to you – most one-year-olds don’t understand baseball,” Jo said.
“Well neither does Blair, but she gets to come,” Rick replied. Jo rolled her eyes and smiled.
“Besides, your mom loves spending time with her grandson,” she said.
“Okay,” agreed Rick.
“Now, I figured that you could take the guys in the car, and I’d take Blair, Nat, and Tootie in the van. Oh, and I’ll take Katie and Danny, too, because their car seats are already in there,” Jo said. “Okay?”
“Sure,” agreed Rick.
“Let’s get some sleep. We have a big day ahead of us, Birthday Boy,” Jo said with a smile.

(Next Morning)

Everyone was crowded in the Bonner’s driveway at 7:45 on a hot summer day. “Okay. Jeff, Wes, and Ben,” Jo directed, “you guys ride in the car with Rick, okay?”
“Sure,” the guys replied.
“Nat, Blair, and Tootie,” Jo continued, “You are coming with me, Katie, and Danny in the van, okay?”
“Yes, ma’am,” Blair replied. “Anything else, captain?” she joked. Jo playfully elbowed Blair.
“Come on, leave me alone,” Jo smiled. Rick buckled Katie and Danny in to the van.
“We’re all set!” he said.
Let’s go then!” Jo replied. Everyone got into their designated cars and hit the road.

(In the Van)

“Blair, if Danny starts to fuss can you give him his bottle?” Jo asked, concentrating on her driving.
“Sure. No problem,” Blair said.
“Thanks,” Jo said. “He’s gonna spend the day with his grandma, and I want him to be well-fed so he won’t be crabby for her.”
“Yeah, I hope Laura is good for my mom today. I’ll come home, and my mom will have probably bought her a whole new wardrobe,” Blair laughed. “Hey,” she said as she turned to Danny. “Do you remember my little girl, Laura? She’s about your age. Maybe you two will grow up and get married some day! Wouldn’t that be great, Jo?” Blair exclaimed.
“Yeah, just great,” Jo teased Blair. After awhile, Jo began absentmindedly singing, “I’m glad I said I’ll tasted it, I’ll give it a whirl! ‘Cause now I am a cereal girl, girl. She’s a cereal girl! Cereal…!”
“Um, Jo, I hate to interrupt you, but isn’t it ‘Material Girl?’” Natalie asked.
“Oops. Oh, yeah. Sesame Street sort of grows on you after awhile. I guess you can tell I’m a parent,” Jo said sort of embarrassed. Everyone else burst out laughing.
“Oh, you guys! Shhh! Katie and Danny are sleeping!” Tootie called from the third seat. Everyone quieted down a bit.
“I can’t wait ‘til I’m a mom,” Tootie said.
“Me too!” Natalie said.
“Oh, you guys will make terrific mothers,” Jo said.
“The best,” Blair agreed. “Well, after me, of course!” she laughed. The girls, now grown women, drove in silence for awhile. “Jo, are you sure you don’t want me to chip in for the tickets?” Blair said.
“Yes, Blair, I’m positive. I’m not as poor as I used to be, you know,” Jo said.
“Jo, you work at the center – I own the center. Rick teaches at Eastland – I own Eastland. I know how much both of you make,” Blair said. “It’s not as much as I make. Please let me chip in!”
“Blair, it’s enough for us. No, you won’t chip in. We’ve got it covered,” said Jo.
“Oh, fine,” Blair agreed reluctantly.
“And don’t try to slip twenty bucks to Katie like you did when we picked up the check at dinner last time” Jo warned. Blair smiled sheepishly.
“Oh, you saw that?” Blair said.
“Yes, and I stuck it back in your purse when you were in the bathroom!” Jo said triumphantly.
“You guys are too much,” Natalie laughed. Just then, Jo slowed down and parked the car on a street in Boston. She began to unbuckle her seatbelt. “Either we’re lost or Fenway Park is smaller than I though,” Natalie said.
“No, Nat. This is where Rick’s mom lives. Danny is going to stay with her while we’re at the game,” Jo explained.
“Ohhhh,” Nat said as Rick’s car pulled p behind them.
“I’ll be right back, guys. Do you mind waiting in the car? You can come in if you want. I’m gonna take Katie in, too, to say hi,” Jo said as Rick came over to help carry in Danny and the diaper bag. The four of them walked into the house.
“My baby! Happy Birthday!” Rick’s mother cried taking Rick into a hug. “Jo! How have you been? It’s great to see you again!” Rick’s mom said hugging Jo, too.
I’m great, Charlotte. Thanks for taking Danny, again,” Jo smiled at her mother-in-law.
“Oh, he’s no problem at all,” Rick’s mom said kissing Danny. “Katie, you’re such a big girl now!” she said picking up her granddaughter. Jo and Rick got Danny settled with his grandma and left with Katie.
“Hey, guys, we’re all set. Sorry for the wait,” Jo said returning to the van with Katie.
“No problem,” Nat replied.
“So, let’s get going,” Blair said buckling her seatbelt.
“Um, Blair?” Jo said. “We’re walking to Fenway from here.”
“Wa-wa-wa-walking?” Blair stammered. “But I wore heels! They are not walking shoes!”
“It’s just five blocks from here,” Jo said.
“Yeah, come on, Blair. Toughen up. You only have to carry one person five blocks,” Nat said patting her stomach.
“Oh, all right,” Blair said reluctantly.
The nine people trooping down the Boston sidewalk were quite a sight. Blair complained that her feet hurt and wanted to stop every two seconds. Tootie had her camera out and was taking pictures like a typical tourist. Rick was telling anyone who would listen, stories about his boyhood days in Boston. Natalie was reading aloud from a brochure about the city, and Jo kept trying to make everyone march in single file so they’d make it in time for the game.
They could tell they were nearing the park as the shouts of vendors trying to sell food, programs, or souvenirs grew louder.
“Oh, brother. All this Red Sox stuff is making me sick!” Jo said. Every head turned in her direction with a menacing look on its face.
“Uh, she’s just kidding!” Rick said guiding Jo away from them. “Are you crazy? Never say that in Boston! You could’ve been killed!” Rick said. “And take the stupid Yankees hat off before you get beat up,” he said.
They turned onto Yawkee Way, gave the mean their tickets, and pushed through the crowd to find their seats. Finally, everyone was seated.
“Ohhh, great seats, Jo,” Blair said sarcastically. “I have a wonderful view of this pole!” Jo gave Blair a ‘look’, and she shut up.
“Rick, I betcha ten bucks, the Yanks will beat the Sox,” Jo said.
“You’re on!” Rick said shaking Jo’s outstretched hand. “After today’s game, I’ll be ten dollars richer,” he said smugly.
“So this is what Fenway Park looks like!” Nat said in amazement. “I’m not that big of a baseball fan, but this place has some real historical value!”
“Yup! The Green Monster, Pesky’s Pole, the good ol’ Citgo sign…” Rick said. “Not to mention, no leg room, disgusting bathrooms, and inadequate, expensive parking,” he finished with a grin. “Actually, it is a great place. I worked here on groundskeeping all through high school,” he said.
They watched batting practice for awhile from their lower grandstand seats along the first base side. The lineup was announced, the national anthem sung, and the game began. It was no more than fifteen minutes into the game, when Manny Ramirez stepped up to the plate and hit a grand slam, making the score Boston-4, New York-0. Pedro Martinez had struck out the side in the top of the inning. The crowd burst into cheers.
“What? What happened, Jo? Did we get a touchdown?” Blair asked. Jo rolled her eyes.
“No, Blair,” she said with an exasperated sigh. “Touchdowns are in football. This is baseball, and the Red Sox just scored four runs. Manny Ramirez hit a grand slam, which is when someone hits a home run with the bases loaded. Okay?” Jo said.
“Um, okay,” Blair said still looking confused.
“You know, Jo, there’s still time to call off that bet,” Rick grinned.
“No way,” Jo replied. “We’re going to get you guys.”
“In your dreams,” Rick replied.
“Come on! The Yankees are the best!” Jo argued.
“The Red Sox, though they break my heart sometimes, will always be the best,” Rick said.
“Well, we’ll just see who’s best when this game ends,” Jo said.
“Katie, who’s better, the Red Sox or the Yankees?” Rick said.
“Rick, this child is going to be a Yankees fan,” Jo said.
“Not if I can help it,” Rick replied.
“You know, most couples argue about what religion or environment or home situations their children are going to be brought up in – not whether they’re going to be a Red Sox or Yankees fan,” Natalie interrupted with a laugh. Jo and Rick stopped their argument and grinned at each other.
“Yeah, you’re right,” they said to Natalie.
“They’re going to be Yankees fans,” Jo whispered to Rick. He shook his head.
“Hey!” Rick yelled to one of the peanut vendors walking through the stands. “I’ll take one of those,” he said passing the money to the end of the row. Blair screamed as the peanuts came flying over her head.
“What are you doing?” she yelled at Rick as he caught the bag.
“Getting peanuts,” he replied calmly. “Want some?” Blair gave him a dirty look as Jo grinned at her husband. “Hey, here comes the wave! Get ready!” Rick said.
“The what?” Blair said as everyone around her stood up, raised their arms, and sat down again. “What was that?” Blair asked.
“The wave,” Jo replied simply.
“Here, I’ll explain it,” offered Jeff, and Blair turned to listen.
Jo looked down and over a couple of rows where she saw an eight-year-old being sung to as a birthday cake was brought to him. “Hey, buddy! Gimme a Lemon Ice!” she yelled to a vendor. Jo then went down and asked the mother of the little boy if she could borrow one of the candles when they were done with them. Blair had just finished learning about the wave when she saw Jo walking towards them with a lit candle sticking out of a Lemon Ice.
“Happy Birthday to you…” Jo belted out as she presented Rick with the Lemon Ice. Natalie, Tootie, Ben, Wes, Jeff, Katie, and several strangers sitting near them joined in.
“I don’t know these people,” Blair said to a woman sitting behind her.
“Happy Birthday, honey,” Jo said giving Rick a kiss.
“Aw, gee, thanks, Jo. You’re the best. When I was little and came to these games I’d always see other kids there getting birthday cakes and being sung to. I always wished I were one of those kids. Thanks,” Rick said smiling.
“Awwww, that’s so sweet,” said one man wiping tears from his eyes.
“Do people always act this strangely at baseball games?” Blair asked Natalie.
“Naw, that one’s just drunk,” Nat replied.
“You know, I think I’m going to go to the bathroom right now,” Blair said, looking suspiciously at everyone around her. “Which way is it?”
“That-a-way,” Rick said pointing. Blair left, after having much trouble climbing over almost an entire row of people and knocking over two sodas and stepping on one bag of peanuts, a bag of popcorn, and five large men’s feet.
“Oh, good, Katie,” Jo said. “You can sit in Blair’s seat for awhile, and we’ll give Mommy’s lap a rest.”
“Okay,” Katie replied climbing into the seat next to her mother.
The Yankees were batting, and their number four hitter stepped up to the plate. He hit a sharp foul ball, which ricocheted off of the Red Sox dugout and was streaking towards Katie. The three-year-old was too busy eating popcorn to notice what was going on. Jo reached over to grab Katie but found that her daughter had gotten her leg stuck in the seat. Jo frantically tried to pull her out and protect her from the ball at the same time. Rick did the first thing that came to his mind. Thinking only of his little daughter and pregnant wife, Rick dove across two seats and knocked them both out of the way of the ball. In the process, though, Rick caught the foul ball with the side of his head. Jo turned around to find her husband unconscious on the floor with the peanut shells and popcorn kernels.

That is sooooooooo good!!! I love it, you HAFTA post more!! PLease?!

i love it get to my part lol

Sorry for the delay. Here's more.
“Oh, my gosh! Rick!” Jo said bending down next to her husband. “Rick, are you okay?” Jo said slapping his face lightly. “Say something!” she screamed. Rick lay motionless.
Someone had called the paramedics, and the paramedics came rushing towards the scene.
“Is there a pulse? Is he unconscious?” asked one paramedic as the other two lifted Rick onto a stretcher.
“Um, he’s unconscious, and no one has looked for a pulse yet,” Natalie answered.
“Are any of you family?” the paramedic asked.
“She’s his wife,” Nat answered again, pointing to a crying Jo. “And that’s his daughter,” Nat said motioning towards Katie.
“You can come in the ambulance, ma’am,” the paramedic said to Jo. She just nodded. “The little girl should stay though,” he said.
“We’ll take care of Katie, Jo. Don’t worry,” Tootie said. Jo just nodded again and left with the paramedics and an unconscious Rick.
“We should probably go to the hospital, too,” Natalie said.
“Yeah, Jo must need us for moral support. We’ll give her a shoulder to cry on,” Tootie added, as she rocked Katie back and forth in her arms.
“Let’s go,” Jeff said. Before they could move, several official-looking people rushed up to them. Their arms were full of Red Sox shirts, hats, stuffed animals, and inflatable bats.
“These are for you and your friend. We hope they make up for this unfortunate event,” one man said.
“Oh! Thanks!” Tootie exclaimed grabbing the souvenirs.
“Tootie, they’re just trying to bribe us so they won’t get sued or something,” Nat whispered.
“I don’t care! It’s free stuff!” Tootie said handing Natalie an inflatable bat.
They pushed their way through the crowd that had gathered around the scene and headed out onto the Boston street.
“Um, now what?” said Tootie. “Where is the hospital they went to and how do we get there?”
“Just watch and learn,” Nat said as she expertly hailed a cab for them. Tootie looked at her as if to say, ‘Where did you learn that?’ “Hey, living in SoHo that year finally paid off,” Nat grinned. They all piled into the cab. “Excuse me, sir,” Natalie said to the driver. “Um, our friend was taken in an ambulance to a hospital. Do you know which one that would be?”
“Lady, this is Boston. Do you know how many hospitals there are in this city?” the cabbie said.
“Um, no,” Nat answered.
“A lot,” the driver replied.
“Do you think, maybe, we could just drive around to all of them until we find our friends,” Tootie asked. Nat elbowed Tootie.
“Sorry, we’re from New York, and we don’t know our way around here,” Nat said.
“I guess your best bet would be Massachusetts General Hospital. Wanna try there?” the cabbie said.
“That’d be great. Thank you so much,” Natalie said. The driver just grunted a reply and pulled out into the traffic.
Meanwhile, back at Fenway Park, Blair was coming out of the bathroom. “I can’t believe there were actually lines for the bathroom. It was so disgusting!” she said, making her way down the steps towards their seats.
“Um, am I in the right place?” she asked aloud. The drunken man turned around and looked at her.
“Your friends left,” he said.
“What?” Blair screamed.
“Oh, were you with that big party, too?” the woman sitting behind her asked.
“Yes, yes! Where are they?” Blair said.
“Um, a foul ball was hit over here, and it knocked one man unconscious. He was taken out on a stretcher by paramedics,” the woman explained.
“Oh, my God,” Blair said. “Which man was it?”
“Uh, I think it was the guy with the light brown hair,” she said. The woman thought for a moment. “Yes. It was the one everyone sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to before.”
“Rick!” Blair exclaimed.
“Yeah, that was his name. His wife – well I think it was his wife – was screaming it and crying a lot. She left in the ambulance with him,” the woman said.
“Oh, poor Jo!” Blair said. “Well, what about the others? Did they go in the ambulance, too?” Blair inquired.
“Um, no I don’t think so. One of ‘em said something about going to the hospital, I think,” the woman said.
“Oh, thank you so much!” Blair said.
“Don’t mention it, honey,” the woman answered. Blair turned to leave.
“Um, what hospital do you think they went to, and exactly how would I get there?” Blair asked.
“Sorry, I can’t help you on that one. I’m just visiting here from Florida,” the lady said.
Blair asked a few more people, who either didn’t know or told her to shut up – they were watching the game.
“Oh, okay,” Blair said looking very nervous. “I guess I’ll just wait here for now. Maybe they’ll come back for me,” she said sounding scared. Her tone suddenly changed. “I can’t believe my own stinkin’ husband left me here! And two of my best friends! I’m gonna kill them!” Blair yelled, mostly to herself. “That is, if they ever come back for me.” Blair looked around for someone to help her, but all she saw was the drunken guy. “I think I’m going to have to get out of this one myself,” she concluded.

Whoops! Sorry! I originally had Tootie rocking her, but when I was reading it later I switched it to Blair. I forgot that she was already gone! Thanks for pointing that out! And thanks for reading this! I'm glad you like it!

no prob for finding it, and like I said, I just didn't want anyone to chew you out, cause sometimes people are in a bad mood (me included sometimes) when they come to the boards and they chew people out for stupid stuff like typos, so I just thought I'd post so no one chewed you out.
Also, I love the fan fic, I really appreciate you writing it.it's so well written, it kinda reminds me of my other Fave show...The Golden Girls, there was an episode about Sophia getting hit with a foul ball at a baseball game.Kinda cool!Keep going As Soon As You Can!!!! ASAYC!!!!!!

Hey, here's more. Sorry it took me so long. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif
Meanwhile, Jo and Rick had arrived at Mass. General, and Jo was pacing back and forth in the emergency waiting room “Oh, God, please let him be alright. Please!” she said. Jo sat down in one of the hard plastic chairs and buried her face in her hands.
“Jo!” Nat exclaimed as she, Tootie, Jeff, Ben, Wes, and Katie burst through the doors of the waiting room.
“Nat!” Jo said looking up at her friends. “Katie!” she said running to give her little girl a hug. “Hi guys!” How did you get here?”
“Cab,” Nat replied.
“Where’d you get all the stuff?” Jo said motioning to the souvenirs.
“Oh, some official-looking Red Sox guys gave this to us after you left. Here,” Nat said giving Jo a Red Sox teddy bear.
“Where’s Blair?” Jo asked.
“Blair? She’s right over th…” Nat said. Tootie’s eyes popped open.
“Umm, guys wasn’t Blair right behind you when we were leaving?” Tootie asked nervously.
“Uh, no,” Jeff said.
“Well, then where the heck is she?” Nat screamed.
“Fenway?” Wes guessed.
“Oooh, that’s smooth. You leave you own wife stranded at a baseball stadium in a city she’s never been to before,” Tootie said.
“Me? Why is it my fault?” Wes asked. “You guys were there too!”
“ ‘Cause she’s your wife!” Nat exclaimed.
“Are you guys trying to say that you left Blair, our Blair, at Fenway Park by herself?” Jo said.
“Um, yes?” Nat said. Jo looked at them in disbelief.
“Nice going,” she said sarcastically.

Back at Fenway, Blair was trying to figure out how to find her friends. “Maybe they’re just waiting for me outside,” Blair said trying to convince herself. She walked outside onto a Boston street. “Then again, maybe not,” she said. “I might as well get a taxi and see if I can find Jo and Rick at a hospital or somewhere.” Blair walked along the sidewalk. “Umm, excuse me, Mister Nice Cab Person Sir! Would you mind slowing down just a bit so I could get a ride? Please!” Blair called. The taxi drove right by her. “Jerk!” Blair said. “And I even said please!”
“Uh, that isn’t how you hail a cab,” a man said politely o Blair.
“Oh, and like you could do any better?” Blair asked.
“Just watch,” the guy said, and he hailed a cab.
“Oh!” Blair said. “Why thank you!”
“What do you mean ‘Thank you’? This is my cab!” the guy said.
“What…” Blair sputtered as the man hopped into the cab and took off.

At the hospital, Jo, Katie, Tootie, Jeff, Natalie, Ben, and Wes were all sitting in the waiting room. “I called Rick’s mom and she is coming over here with Danny,” Jo said.
“That’s good. So have you heard anything on how Rick is yet?” Nat said.
“No, not yet,” Jo said with a worried look on her face.
“Well, they say ‘no news is good news’,” Tootie said in an effort to cheer Jo up.
“Yeah, I guess,” Jo said.

Glad you finaly posted! but I need more much more!

Here's a little more. Thanks for replying. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif


Blair stood there in disbelief. “Now, if I knew where I was going, I suppose I could possible bear to take public transportation. But I don’t know where I’m going,” she said. Blair wandered around for a little longer until she decided to stop and ask for help. She spotted a woman on the street and went up to her. The woman directed her to Mass. General and told her to just take a bus.
“When does the next bus leave?” Blair asked
“Uh, it just left,” the woman said pointing to the bus rolling down the street.
“Oh, no!” Blair cried. “When’s the next bus?”
“Not for another half hour,” the woman said. “Better start running!” she said.
Blair gulped and said, “I guess I have no choice,” and began to sprint her best after a bus. After breaking one heel off of her shoes, she decided to just take the shoes off altogether. So Blair ran down the sidewalk in her pantyhose, carrying her heels, ripping the sleeve of her blouse on a bush, screaming her head off, and finally caught up to the bus at a red light. The driver let Blair in, giving her a weird look. Blair grabbed onto the ceiling rail and did her best to fix her mussed up hair, all the while being alternately lurched onto an old man and a teenage girl.

Here's more! Thanks for the nice replies! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

The door of the waiting room flew open and in burst Blair. “I am going to kill someone!” she yelled giving icy stares to her husband and friends.
“What happened to you?” Natalie asked.
“Loooong story.” Blair said. “Hi, Jo,” she said plopping down next to her friend.
“Hi, Blair,” Jo replied.
“I heard about what happened to Rick. Is he okay?” Blair asked softly.
“We don’t know yet,” Jo said. “Before everyone got here, I was just sitting in a chair praying that he’d be okay.” Mrs. Bonner ran into the room carrying Danny.
“Is Rick okay?” she asked frantically.
“We haven’t heard anything yet, Charlotte,” Jo said hugging her mother-in-law. Jo took Danny in her arms while Katie climbed into her grandma’s lap. They were still sitting there and hour later.
“How about if we all go get something to eat?” Tootie suggested.
“Sure,” replied Jeff, Ben, Wes, and Nat. They all got up to leave.
“I saw a McDonald’s here down the hallway,” Nat said. “You guys coming?” she asked Blair and Jo.
“No, I’m gonna stay here. You go on ahead, Blair,” Jo said.
“That’s okay. I’m not hungry,” Blair said.
“Well, these two look hungry,” Mrs. Bonner said nodding towards Katie and Danny. “How about if I take them home with me and maybe put them down for an N-A-P, too?” she offered.
“Oh, you don’t have to do that,” Jo said.
“I insist,” Mrs. Bonner said.
“Okay, thanks. That’d be great,” Jo said.
“Here give this to Daddy,” said Katie as she handed the picture she was coloring to Jo.
“Sure, sweetie. I know he’ll love it,” Jo said smiling at the colorful scribbles. Katie, Danny, and Mrs. Bonner left. Jo and Blair found themselves alone. Jo finally broke down. “Oh, Blair, it’s all my fault!”
“What are you talking about?” Blair asked. “How can Rick being hit by a foul ball be your fault?”
“You don’t get it, Blair,” Jo said. “If Rick hadn’t done what he did, I would be the on lying unconscious there right now…or worse – Katie,” Jo sobbed.
“Oh, Jo, I didn’t know that. What exactly happened?” Blair asked. Jo explained everything that had happened at the game.
“Jo, it’s not your fault! Don’t feel bad!” Blair said.
“Blair, why did I have to be so stupid…Why did he have to be so stupid? Why did he have to be so…so noble and risk his life for me?” Jo said.
“Jo,” Blair said, “because he loves you.”
“Yeah, I guess. I just hope he’s alright.” Jo said. Then she looked up at Blair. “Thanks,” she said.
“For what?” Blair asked.
“Oh, I don’t know. Just for listening and being a good friend,” Jo said.
“Anytime,” Blair smiled. She turned and gave Jo a hug.
“Awww, that’s so sweet,” Natalie said. “Jo and Blair getting along…” she grinned.
“Darn you, Natalie!” Jo smiled as she quickly pulled away from the hug.
“Natalie, your ruined it!” Tootie exclaimed. “I wanted to get a picture of them first. It was probably a once-in-a-lifetime moment.” Everybody laughed.
“So, have you heard anything yet?” Nat asked sitting down next to Jo.
“No,” Jo said worriedly.
“Don’t worry, Jo. Everything will be fine,” Tootie said as she and Jeff sat down together.
“Yeah, I sure hope so,” Jo said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do about you guys, now. Do you want to take one of the cars back home. It’s almost five now, and I don’t want you to have to drive too long in the dark.”
“Jo, do you actually think we’re going to leave you here by yourself?” Natalie asked.
“Well, I don’t want you guys to have to be stuck here all day. Who knows how long I’ll be here?” Jo said. Just then a doctor came into the waiting room.
“Bonner?” he said.

“That’s us,” Jo said anxiously as she jumped out of her seat.
“Rick is a very lucky man. He suffered some trauma to the head and a broken arm, but he will be okay,” the doctor said.
“Oh, thank God!” Jo said as a look of relief swept her face.
“Although,” the doctor said, “he has lost most of his hearing in the right ear.” Jo’s worried look returned.
“What?” she said.
“It’s not as bad as it seems. We aren’t sure if it’s temporary of permanent right now. He caught the ball with his ear. If he had been hit any higher, he…he would’ve been killed,” the doctor said.
“Oh, my gosh,” Jo said. “Well, can we see him now?”
“Uh, immediate family can visit him right now. He’s still pretty tired and is having quite a bit of trouble hearing, though,” the doctor replied. “He’s just been moved to Room 324, and we’ll have to keep him, at least, overnight.”
“Okay, thanks,” Jo said. She turned to her friends. “Blair, will you call Rick’s mom for me, please?” Jo said.
“Sure,” Blair replied.
“Thanks. Here’s the number. It’s room 324. I’m gonna go see him now,” Jo said.
“Okay,” said Blair.
“Tell Rick that we all said hi and get better soon,” Tootie said.
“ ‘Kay,” Jo said. She turned and walked to the receptionist at the desk. “Um, which way is room 324?” she asked.
“Straight down the hallway, to your left is an elevator. Get off on the third floor. Turn left, go down the hallway, and it’s on the right side,” the receptionist said.
“Thank you,” Jo said. She followed the receptionist’s directions and soon found herself outside room 324. She walked in and saw a sleeping Rick. “Hi, honey,” she said. Rick continued sleeping. “Honey?” she said. There was still no answer. She walked up to his bed and touched his shoulder. “Rick?” she said.
“What?” Rick said in a confused voice, just waking up. “Oh, uh, hi, Jo. When did you come in?”
“Just a minute ago,” she said smiling.
“Huh?” he asked.
“Just a minute ago,” she said, raising her voice, as she remembered Rick had lost some of his hearing.
“Oh,” he said still groggy.
“So how are you feeling?” Jo asked.
“How do you think I feel?” Rick said smiling weakly.
“Oh, sorry,” Jo smiled. “Some birthday this was,” she sighed.
“Don’t worry about it,” Rick said. “Where are the others?” he asked.
“Oh, they’re downstairs. Your mom should be here shortly. I hope they let Katie and Danny come up, too. They were with your mom,” Jo said. “Pretty nice room you’ve got here,” Jo said turning her back to Rick and walking around the room. “Even a TV! Wanna see if they’re showing the final score of the game or maybe some highlights?” Jo asked, with her back still turned. Rick didn’t answer. Jo turned back to Rick. “Uh, Rick? Did you hear what I said?” Jo asked.
“Huh? What? Um, uh, no. I must’ve dozed off for a minute,” Rick said.
“Yeah,” Jo said uncertainly. “Um, do you want to watch TV and see if the score of the game is showing or maybe some highlights?” Jo asked louder this time.
“Yeah, sure,” Rick said. Jo turned on the TV and sat down in a chair. “Um, can you turn it up a little bit?” Rick said.
“Oh, sure,” Jo said. She got up to turn up the volume. “Better?” she asked.
“Uh, just a little more, please,” Rick said. Jo turned it up some more.
“Okay?” she asked.
“Uh, just a teensy-weensy bit more,” Rick said. Jo looked at him in surprise.
“Okay,” she said as she turned the volume up as high as it would go.
“Thanks,” Rick said. The news was on with sports highlights.
“And the Red Sox beat the Yankees 5-4 in the 11th inning,” the announcer said.
“Wow, extra innings!” Jo exclaimed.
“Uh, huh,” Rick said. “Also, extra money for me! Pay up!” Rick said grinning.
“Awww!” Jo said in a sort of fake disappointed voice. “I guess that ball didn’t hit you hard enough to make you forget about the bet,” she joked. Rick smiled.
“Ten dollars, please,” he said. Jo stuffed the money in his hand and turned off the TV.
“Visiting hours are almost over, and I bet you’re tired,” Jo said.
“You’re not going to make another bet with me, are you?” Rick grinned.
“Oh, no,” Jo grinned back. “I think your mom should be up soon,” Jo said.
“ ‘Kay,” Rick said, laying his head on the pillow and closing his eyes. Jo bent down and kissed him on the cheek
“Love you,” she whispered in his right ear. He didn’t answer. Jo looked at him.
Rick opened his eyes. “You say something?” he asked. Jo nodded. “Sorry, that’s my bad ear. Try this one,” Rick said turning his head. Jo laughed.
“See ya later, Rick. I love you,” she said turning to leave.
“Bye! Love you, too!” he said. Jo left. She returned to the waiting room just as Mrs. Bonner came in with Katie and Danny.
“Hi, Jo. How’s Rick doing?” she asked.
“Pretty good. He’s awake. He has a broken arm and can’t hear that well so you’ll have to speak up,” Jo said. “I told him you’d be up shortly. It’s room 324,” Jo added.
“Alright, thanks,” Rick’s mom said heading out of the waiting room.
“Where’s Daddy? I want to see Daddy,” Katie said looking at her mother.
“Okay, Katie. We’ll see if you can visit him now. I’m sure he’d love to see you, too,” Jo smiled. She went up to the receptionist. “Is it okay for my kids to see their daddy?” Jo asked carrying Danny on her hip and holding Katie’s hand.
“Sure. It’ll be fine,” the receptionist replied. “Usually it’s kids ages twelve and over, but your kids are just too cut to resist,” she smiled. “It’ll be our little secret,” she said. Jo grinned.
“Thanks,” she said heading back towards Rick’s room. When they got there, Katie ran in.
“Daddy!” she yelled.
“Katie!” Rick yelled back, opening his unbroken arm for a hug. Katie ran to him and hugged him.
“Hey,” Jo said. “There’s someone else who’d like to see you.” She walked over and handed Danny to Rick.
“Hey, Dan!” Rick said. “How’s it going, big guy?” He began to tickle his son. Danny started to laugh and giggle.
“What happened to Daddy?” Katie asked noticing the cast on Rick’s arm.
“Oh, Daddy got a boo-boo,” Jo answered.
“Oh,” Katie nodded her head solemnly. She walked over to her father and planted a big kiss on his arm. “There! Daddy’s all better now!” she exclaimed.
“Thanks, Katie,” Rick smiled. “I feel much better now.” Katie beamed.
“Oh, this is so sweet,” Mrs. Bonner said wiping tears from her eyes.
“I know,” Jo replied sniffling. Just then a nurse came into the room.
“Visiting hours are over,” she said. Then she left.
“Alright, we’d better get going then,” Jo said scooping up Katie and Danny.
“Hey, where’re you going?” Rick asked.
“The nurse just came in and said that visiting hours are over,” Jo said looking at her husband with concern.
“Oh, okay,” Rick replied. Jo, Katie, Danny, and Mrs. Bonner all left.

Back in the waiting room Blair asked Jo, “How is he?”
“Okay,” Jo replied. “You guys should really get going now before it’s too late. Take the van,” she said tossing the keys to Blair.
“Jo, we can get a motel room,” Nat said. “We don’t want to leave without you. It’s too late to drive anyway.”
“Come on, I’ll be fine. Charlotte said that Katie, Danny and I could stay with her while we’re here,” Jo said.
“I really don’t want to ever drive at night when I’m tired again,” Blair said.
“We want to see how Rick is, too,” Tootie said. “Let us get a room for tonight,” Tootie said.
“Fine. If you want to,” Jo replied. “But it’s going to be expensive.”
“Um, Mrs. Bonner, do you know of any good motels around here?” Natalie asked.
“Nonsense,” Mrs. Bonner said. “You can all stay at my house. Don’t waste your money on a motel room,” she said.
“Oh, no we couldn’t!” Tootie said. Nat, Ben, Jeff, and Wes nodded their heads in agreement.
“Oh, come now. We have plenty of room,” Mrs. Bonner said.
“No. Thank you for the offer. We’ll find a place,” Natalie said.
“Why can’t we stay with her?” Blair asked. “It’s better than any place we’ll find around here. Besides, I’ve never been to a MOTEL before, and I don’t want to start now,” Blair said.
“Exactly. You will all stay with me. Now that’s final,” Mrs. Bonner said.
“Oh, well, thank you very much,” everybody said somewhat reluctantly except for Blair.
“Great! Thank you so much!” Blair exclaimed. “I’ll call my mom and see if she can keep Laura for the night,” Blair said. Everybody left the hospital and headed for Mrs. Bonner’s house.

It's not much, but here's more. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif


They all arrived at the house and walked inside.
“Wow! This is a lovely house you have here,” Blair said.
“Why, thank you,” Mrs. Bonner said. “Rick’s father grew up in this house, and later Rick did too,” she said.
“Wow. Thank you so much for letting us stay here!” Natalie said.
“No problem,” Mrs. Bonner said. “Now, there are three bedrooms upstairs. Let’s go up and get all of you settled.” Everybody followed Mrs. Bonner up the stairs.
“Where are you going to sleep?” Blair asked Jo.
“Oh, there’s a hide-a-bed in the living room,” Jo said. “Katie and I will take that. We’re going to set up Rick’s old crib for Danny,” she said.
“Oh, okay,” Blair said.
“Need any help setting up the crib?” Wes asked.
“Sure, that’d be great,” Jo said. They went to the basement to find the crib. Jo and Wes set it up in the living room and met everyone else in the kitchen.
“Oh, it’s already 7:00! I’d better get supper ready! What do you guys like?” Mrs. Bonner said.
“Charlotte! You’ve been such a help today already! Don’t worry about supper! We’ll order some pizza,” Jo said.
“No, I couldn’t let you do that! You’re my guests!” Mrs. Bonner said.
“Let us,” Natalie said.
“Oh, okay,” Mrs. Bonner said. Jo got the phone book out and ordered pizza for everyone. Twenty minutes later it arrived.
“Oh, this is so good!” Natalie exclaimed. “Where’s it from?” she asked.
“Um, Pizzeria Regina’s,” Jo said, reading the box.
“Oooh! It is good!” Tootie said taking a bite. Jo saw Katie trying to handle the messy pizza.
“Here, let me cut that up for you,” Jo said reaching over and cutting her daughter’s pizza into bite-size pieces.
“It’s so weird seeing Jo act like a mom,” Tootie said.
“What do you want me to act like?” Jo said. “I am a mom,” she grinned.
“I know, but it’s just that I can remember you when you first came to Eastland all impolite in your out-dated clothes with your hair all messed up and riding a motorcycle,” Tootie said.
“Well…aside from the fact that you don’t ride a motorcycle anymore, you haven’t changed much throughout the years, Jo,” Blair teased. Jo gave Blair a look and playfully punched her shoulder.
Everyone finished the pizza and chatted for a little while longer. “Well, I think I’m going to turn in now. Thanks for everything, Mrs. Bonner,” Natalie said.
“Yes, thank you very much,” Ben said. “G’night, everybody,” he added.
“Night,” they all replied.
“I’m tired too, “ Tootie said.
“Yeah, we’ll hit that sack now,” Jeff agreed. “Thank you, ma’am. It was a pleasure meeting you,” he said.
“Yes, thanks a million,” Tootie said. They went upstairs.
“Katie looks pretty beat,” Jo said. “I’m going to put her down and put Danny in his crib,” she said gathering her kids in her arms.
“Okay. We’re going to go upstairs to bed now anyway,” Blair said. “Thank you so much, Mrs. Bonner,” she said.
“Thank you,” Wes said. “You have been very hospitable.”
“Oh, you’re welcome,” Mrs. Bonner said. “I’ll be heading to bed now, too,” she said.
“Night, Charlotte,” Jo said. “Thanks for everything,” she smiled gratefully.
“Anytime,” Mrs. Bonner said. Jo put Danny in the crib. She then tucked Katie in next to her and turned out the light.

In the middle of the night, Jo woke up. She looked at her watch which read 2:03A.M. “Oh, brother,” Jo thought. “I just can’t sleep!” Quietly, she crept out of the bed, being careful to not wake Katie and walked into the kitchen. Jo poured herself a glass of water and sat down. She was startle by a noise behind her. She turned around and saw Blair. “Oh, it’s only you,” she said.
“Hey, how’s it going?” Blair asked sitting down.
“Okay. What’re you doing up?” Jo said.
“Oh, um, I couldn’t sleep,” Blair said. Jo raised her eyebrows. “Oh, okay, I was worried about you and how you were taking Rick’s accident and all,” Blair said.
“Oh,” Jo replied.
“So, how are you doing?” Blair asked.
“Um, okay,” Jo said. This time Blair was the one to raise her eyebrows. “Well, to tell the truth, I’m really worried about Rick. He could hardly hear anything at all,” Jo said. “A lot of what he does relies on his hearing. Have you ever heard of a deaf musician?” Jo said.
“Only this guy named Beethoven comes to mind,” Blair said.
“Well, except for him. I mean, Rick is the music teacher at Eastland, and organist at our church, and occasionally still does concerts over the summer,” Jo said. “His not being able to hear properly could affect a lot of what he does. I don’t think we could afford him being out of work. We have another kid coming along in six months.”
“Jo, don’t worry! You said yourself that they don’t know if it’s temporary or permanent now,” Blair said.
“Yeah, I guess,” Jo said. “Oh, gosh, I hope he doesn’t end up like this deaf guy that lived in my building when I was younger. He actually had a school bell hooked up to his phone so he could hear it. You could hear his doorbell from two floors up,” Jo said. Blair laughed.
“Don’t worry! Now get some sleep!” she said.
“Okay,” Jo said as they both headed back to bed.
The next morning everyone was bustling around the kitchen except for Jo who was still sleeping. Just then, Jo awoke and looked at her watch again. “10:15!” she exclaimed. “How could I sleep this late?” she said. Jo saw Blair peeking in on her from the kitchen.
“Hi, sleepyhead,” Blair said teasingly.
“How could you let me sleep this late?” she yelled at Blair.
“What?” Blair said innocently. “You were tired,” she said. Jo shot Blair a dirty look.
“We’re supposed to meet Rick at the hospital at 11! Are Katie and Danny up already? I’ve got to give them breakfast,” Jo said jumping out of the hide-a-bed frantically.
“Jo, calm down. They’re both already fed and clean,” Blair said.
“What? Oh, well, thanks, I guess,” Jo said. She began to head towards the kitchen.
“Jo, wait. Use this first,” Blair said handing Jo a hairbrush and laughing. Jo looked at Blair half-embarrassed.
“Gimme that,” she said trying to act mad but couldn’t help laughing.
Less than an hour later everyone was sitting in the hospital waiting room again. Jo went up to the receptionist. “Can we visit Rick Bonner?” she asked motioning to everyone else. The receptionist checked with a doctor.
“Sure, it’ll be okay, I guess,” she said.
“Thanks,” Jo said. She herded the group into the hallway and up to Rick’s room. Rick was sitting up in bed.
“Jo!” he exclaimed when he saw her coming into his room.
“Rick!” she said hugging him.
“Oh, I missed you guys,” Rick said hugging his kids as well.
“We missed you, too,” Jo said.
“Hey, Rick,” Natalie said. “We decided to stay the night.”
“Hi, guys. Did you all stay over here?” Rick said as everyone filed in.
“Um, yeah,” Jo said loudly as everyone exchanged worried glances.
“Great!” Rick said. “Thanks!”
“So do you know when you can come home?” Jo asked.
“Not yet Th doctor said he’d stop in sometime this morning and let me know,” Rick said. Just then a doctor poked his head into the room.
“Um, Mr. Bonner?” he said.
“Yes, that’s me,” Rick said.
“We’ve decided to keep you for one more night just to make sure you’re okay. You know, for observation,” the doctor said.
“Okay,” Rick said disappointedly.
“Look at the bright side,” Rick’s mom said, “I get to spend another night with my grandkids!” Rick smiled at his mom.
“Yeah,” he said.
“Thanks so much for letting us stay with you. I hope we’re not inconveniencing you,” Jo said to Mrs. Bonner.
“Don’t think a thing of it,” Mrs. Bonner smiled.
“Do you guys want to stay another night? You can go home today if you want,” Jo said to Blair, Wes, Tootie, Nat, Ben, and Jeff.
“I think I should,” Blair said. “I have work tomorrow, and I miss my Laura.”
“Yeah, me too,” Wes said. Jo tossed the van’s keys to Blair.
“Knock yourself out,” Jo said. “Not literally,” she added quickly.
“I have to go back to work tomorrow, too,” Ben said.
“Yeah,” said Natalie. “We’ll go with you guys,” she said to Blair and Wes.
“Well, we should head home too,” said Tootie.
“Yeah,” said Jeff. “I don’t want to impose on Mrs. Bonner.”
“Alright guys,” Jo said. “You gonna head back right away?”
“How ‘bout if we all grab some lunch and get on the road by noon-thirty,” Wes said.
“Sounds great,” Blair said.
“Sure,” agreed Natalie, Tootie, Jeff, and Ben. They stayed and chatted with Rick for a little while longer.
“Well, we better head out,” Blair said. “Thanks for everything, Mrs. Bonner,” she said. “You coming to lunch, Jo?”
“Naw, I’ll get something later. Thanks anyway,” Jo said. “Blair, can you hang onto the keys for me? Just leave the van in the driveway,” she said.
“Sure,” Blair said.
“Thanks,” Jo said. “I’ll get ‘em from you when we get back,” she said.
“Okay,” Blair said, “but what about the carseats?”
“Oh, I already put them in the house. I’ll just put ‘em in the car when we leave,” Jo said.
“Great,” Blair said. “Well, see ya!”
“Bye! Thanks!” everyone else said.
“Bye,” Jo, Rick, and Mrs. Bonner said.
“Daddy, when do you come home?” Katie asked.
“Hmm?” Rick said.
“When is Daddy coming home,” Katie asked Jo.
“Soon,” Rick replied now hearing her. “Probably tomorrow,” he said.
“Oh, good!” Katie exclaimed excitedly.
“My thoughts exactly,” Jo smiled.

This part is for you, Katie!!! It's finally here!

Just then they heard a knock on the door. “Come in!” Jo said.
“Uh, hi, I hope I’m not interrupting anything…” a young, good-looking man said coming into the room along with a young lady.
“Shea Hillenbrand?!” Rick exclaimed.
“Hi,” Shea said. “Are you Mr. Richard Bonner?” he asked.
“Y-ye-yeah. You can call me Rick,” Rick said in amazement. “What are you doing here?” he asked.
“Oh, well we all saw what happened to you yesterday and felt pretty bad. We wanted to do something. This is my girlfriend, Katie,” Shea said putting his arm around her and giving her a squeeze. “She suggested that the team sign a ball that we could give to you,” Shea said. The guys were all for it so here it is!” Shea said presenting Rick with and autographed baseball.
“Wow! I don’t know what to say. Thank you,” Rick said.
“It was the least we could do,” Shea said. “Someone also mentioned that yesterday was you birthday.”
“Yeah,” Rick said.
“It was my birthday too!” Shea said.
“Wow! Happy birthday!” Rick said.
“Thanks. Same to you. We got you this card,” Shea said handing Rick a birthday card. Rick opened it and four tickets fell out. Shea grinned. “We figured that since you missed most of the game yesterday, those would be a good birthday present,” he said. “Hi! What’s your name?” he asked, seeing Katie Bonner staring up at him.
“Katherine Mary Bonner,” Katie said.
“That’s my daughter, Katie,” Rick said. “And this is my wife, Jo, my son, Danny, and my mother, Charlotte,” Rick explained.
“Nice to meet all of you,” She and his girlfriend, Katie said. Turning to Katie Bonner, Katie bent down and said, “Hi! My name is Katie, too!”
“Wow! Cooool! Mom, she has the same name as me!” Katie said to Jo. Jo smiled.
“Yup! It was her great idea to give that ball to your daddy,” Shea said massaging his girlfriend’s shoulders. “Well, we better get going now though. It was nice to meet all of you!” Shea said. Once in the hallway, he turned to Katie and said, “Thanks for helping to make that man’s day.” Katie smiled as Shea leaned in to kiss her, and they walked down the hall.

THIS KICKS!! NICE!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE THATS ME IN THE STORY!!! LOL GREAT JOB RORY!!!

I gotta type some more in so I'll try to do that soon. I can have all the Shea I want! LOL http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hi, people. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I'll try to get more in soon, but right now I have to write a three page essay on Thomas Jefferson's life...fun, fun, fun. Thanks for being patient!

Heeere's more! Sorry it's taken so long. :) I'm kind of stuck on the ending (it's coming up soon). Any suggestions?

“Can you come out of bed and get some lunch with us?” Jo asked.
“I don’t know,” Rick said. “I’ll check.” He buzzed a nurse in and asked her.
“I’ll check,” she said. She came back and said, “It’ll be okay, but our patients have to use wheelchairs.” She rolled one into the room. “Here,” she said.
“Thanks,” Jo said. She helped Rick into the chair, and sat Danny in his lap. Mrs. Bonner took Katie’s hand, as Jo got behind Rick to push. They headed down to the McDonald’s on the first floor of the hospital.
“What do you want to eat, Rick? I’ll order it,” Jo said, but Rick didn’t answer. “Rick?” she said. No answer. Jo walked around to the front of the wheelchair. “Rick!” she said.
“What?” he answered finally.
“I was just asking you what you wanted, like, three times!” Jo said.
“Oh, sorry, I didn’t hear you,” Rick said. “I’ll have a BigMac and a Coke, please,” he said.
“’Kay,” Jo said looking at him worriedly.
Everyone ate lunch and later they all headed back to Mrs. Bonner’s house.

Here's more. Is anyone still reading this???

The next morning, Rick was ready to leave.
“Bye, Charlotte,” Jo said hugging her.
“Bye, Jo. Take care,” Mrs. Bonner said.
“Bye, Grandma!” Katie said. Mrs. Bonner hugged her.
“Bye, sweetie,” she said.
“Bye!” Danny exclaimed cheerfully.
“Oh, bye-bye, honey,” Mrs. Bonner cooed.
“Bye, Mom,” Rick said. He hugged her.
“Bye, Ricky, honey. Be careful now,” she said.
“I will,” he assured her.
“Come on, ‘Ricky’, let’s go,” Jo teased. Rick grinned.
“Okay, Joanna Marie,” he teased back.
“Oooh, you’re gonna get it!” Jo said laughing as she chased her husband to the car. They put their kids in the back seat and headed home.
Jo picked up the keys from Blair and found the mini-van in the driveway just as she had instructed. It was nearly suppertime by then so Jo, Rick, Katie, and Danny had a quick meal and headed to bed.
The next day, Rick and Jo had told Blair they wouldn’t be at work. The family had a relaxing morning. By three in the afternoon, Katie, Danny, and Rick were taking naps. Jo had to get ready for a dinner she had to go to for her work that night. Rick was lying on the couch.
“Rick, I’m going up to take my shower now,” Jo said.
“’Kay,” Rick yawned.
“When the timer on the stove goes off, take the chicken pot pie out. If the phone rings while I’m in the shower, answer it ‘cause I’m expecting an important phone call from this lady this afternoon. It’s for work. If Danny cries go get him and try to get him to sleep a little longer. Mrs. Johnson should be coming over to drop off that Tupperware. She’ll probably ring the doorbell so answer the door. Got it?” Jo said.
“Mm, hmm,” Rick said sleepily turning over onto his left side.
“Good,” Jo said. She walked upstairs, and soon the shower water was running. Downstairs, the timer on the stove started to beep. The phone started ringing. Danny began to wail. The doorbell rang. Rick lay asleep on the couch with his deaf ear open to it all. The neighbor, Mrs. Johnson, looked in the window and saw Rick. She could hear all the noise from outside and wondered why Rick lay motionless. She panicked and ran back to her house to dial 911.

Of course, I knew this part of the story was missing something...LOL. Maybe I can write some Keightee and Shea stories just for you. :D Heeere's more!

Jo came out of the shower and heard Danny crying. She went in his room to soothe him. As she picked him up, she heard the timer beeping and the phone ringing.
“Can’t Rick just do a few simple things? That’s all I ask!” Jo said to herself. She came downstairs to the sound of sirens nearby. Jo picked up the phone to answer it and went into the kitchen to shut off the timer. In the stove, Jo found a burnt pot pie, which, in a previous life, was her husband and children’s supper. Suddenly there was a loud banging on the front door and yelling from outside. She rushed to see what was going on. Jo opened the door in a beat-up, old bathrobe, with her wet hair wrapped in a towel, a baby on her hip, a burnt potpie in her hand, and the phone cradled between her ear and shoulder with someone still on the other end.
“I swear, if it’s someone trying to get me to convert of sell me something, I’m gonna scream,” Jo said through gritted teeth. “What do you want?” she said. She found herself fact to face with her neighbor and several paramedics. “What the heck is going on?” she said. The paramedics rushed in.
“Where is he?” they said.
“What? Where is who?” Jo said.
“There he is!” Mrs. Johnson said pointing to Rick.
“Rick? What is going on? Will someone please fill me in on this?!” Jo screamed.
“This woman,” the paramedic said motioning to Jo’s neighbor, “called for an ambulance to come here because she said a man had collapsed,” a paramedic explained.
“What man?” Jo said.
“Rick!” Mrs. Johnson said.
“Rick?” Jo said. Mrs. Johnson nodded. Jo walked over to her husband. “He’s sleeping,” she said.
“How could he sleep through all that noise? You’re wasting time! They should be saving his life!” the neighbor said.
With her hands full, Jo knocked Rick in his head with her knee. He rolled over and opened his eyes.
“Hi honey,” he said.
“But, but, but…” Mrs. Johnson said.
“Come on, lady. We’ve caused these people enough trouble already,” on paramedic said.
“Yeah, sorry,” the other added. They dragged the stammering neighbor out of the Bonner’s house.

That was a fun part keep up the good work!

K, my screen name is Bixbabe926 so IM me soon! :D And my first name is Caitlin, as seen in my siggy! LOL!

And oh yeah, MORE PLEASE!

Ok, so I'm having trouble coming up with an ending to this story. I have more written up to a point. I suppose I could end it at that point, but it just doesn't sound right. I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas to offer?

“We have the weirdest neighbors,” Rick said. “What was that all about?” he asked.
“You don’t want to know,” Jo said. She then realized that she still had the phone with her. “Hello?” Jo said, but the lady had hung up. “Darn it! That lady was supposed to be one of our biggest donators to the center!” she complained. “Oh, and here. Your dinner,” Jo said handing Rick the burnt chicken potpie.
“Oh…thanks,” Rick said looking at the remains of his supper.
“Rick, could you really not hear all of that stuff going on?” Jo said in a more serious tone.
“Oh, you know I sleep like a rock,” Rick said chuckling.
“No, you don’t,” Jo said dryly.
“You’re right. I heard everything, but I just wanted you to come down here and be with me,” Rick said smiling slyly.
“Really, Rick,” Jo said not believing him. “Knock it off. You’re swimming down the river denial,” Jo said looking her husband straight in the eye. <Get it? Denial and “da Nile” hehe> “Are you okay?” she asked.
“Oh, yeah. It was just a little bump on the head. I’m fine, really,” Rick said.
“You were out cold. I’m calling the doctor. We’re gonna get your hearing checked by a specialist,” Jo said firmly.
“Jo-o-o!” Rick whined. “Do-on’t. Please! I could start hearing again at any time. Come on!” Rick said sticking his lip out.
“See you admitted you can’t hear!” Jo said.
“But…” Rick started.
“No buts. Now shut up and hold your kid,” Jo said handing Danny to Rick. “I’m calling a doctor.” Rick took Danny and began to pout. JO went over to look up the phone number.
“Mommy’s being mean to me,” Rick said to his son.
“No, Mommy knows what’s best for Daddy because right now Daddy is being a pig-headed jerk,” Jo retorted.
“What’d you say?” Rick said.
“Oh, nothing. Just that I love you,” Jo said flashing Rick a smile. To herself, she said, “Hey, this deaf thing isn’t so bad. Maybe I shouldn’t call the doctor.”
“You say something?” Rick asked.
“No,” Jo said picking up the phone. She made a couple of phone calls and got Rick an appointment with a hearing specialist. “We’re all set,” Jo said collapsing into a chair. She then looked down at what she was wearing. “Oh, my gosh! I have to be at that dinner in a half hour!” she cried. Jo bolted upstairs to change. Rick burst out laughing. “That’s my Jo,” he said. Ten minutes later Jo sprinted downstairs, now looking more presentable.
“Just look around for something to eat,” Jo said running around to gather her purse and keys. “Gotta go! Love ya! Bye!” Jo said, giving Rick and Dan quick pecks on their cheeks as she rushed out the door.
Several weeks later, Jo and Rick were in the waiting room of the hearing specialist. They were called in, and the doctor examined Rick’s ear. Rick’s hearing was tested, and the doctor left the room to check the results. Jo and Rick were left alone.
“Jo?” Rick said quietly.
“Yeah?” Jo said.
“I’m scared,” Rick said.
Surprised, Jo said, “Don’t be,” and squeezed her husband’s hand.
“Well, what if it’s permanent? What if I can’t continue my career? What if I’m out of a job for so long that I can’t support my wife and kids?” Rick asked worriedly.
“And what if none of that happens?” Jo said. “Besides, we still have my salary to live off of,” she added.
“But what if that isn’t enough to support a family of four with a new baby on the way?” Rick asked.
“We’ll figure it out. We can get through anything. Now we’re just getting upset about things that’ll probably never happen,” Jo said.
“Okay,” Rick said doubtfully. Just then the doctor returned.
“Mr. and Mrs. Bonner,” he said, addressing Jo and Rick solemnly. They stood up with worried looks on their faces. “I have some good news!” the doctor said as his face broke into a smile. “The hearing damage should be back to normal within three weeks, Mr. Bonner. We’re sure of it,” the doctor said. Rick was smiling from ear to ear.
“Oh, thank you!” he said and impulsively hugged the doctor. The surprised doctor timidly patted Rick on the back.
“Anytime,” he said.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” Rick said letting go of the doctor. “When I’m happy, I just hug the first person I see,” he explained.
“It’s okay,” the doctor smiled. He left the room. Rick turned to Jo who was standing there grinning.
“Jo!” he said as he grabbed her in a big bear hug. “I’m so happy!” Rick said.
“Me too,” Jo said.
“I’m gonna be able to hear again!” Rick exclaimed.
“I know!” Jo smiled.


Ok, I have a little bit more written after this, but I don't like it. Does anyone have any good ideas for an ending???

YAY! U ADDED MORE! NOW DO IT AGAIN! PLEASE!

So, Jo and Rick went home to tell everyone the good news.
The End.

Ok, kinda lame ending, but I couldn't think of anything better. :)

BTW, there could be an alternate ending to this story, but it's very...weird. I was stuck, and my sister's friend gave me this idea about...stuff...so I could write that too, I guess. LOL
