[grumpypirate]

Ok now that I'm back at home with a computer that works....here's the next part!

A few months later, the kids were at Marty’s moms and Alex had gone to visit her sister Connie in North Carolina, Elizabeth was sitting in the living room watching TV when the door opened softly. Elizabeth hastily got up and cautiously walked toward the door to see what was going on. Elizabeth slowly crept to the door and along the way picked up Marty’s Whit Sox signed baseball bat from its display case. Elizabeth reached the door and found it wide open. “Must have been the wind.” she thought to herself. She turned around and screamed. There stood John Matthews with his evil grin and cold black eyes. John grabbed the baseball bat and threw it at the glass display case containing autographed White Sox stuff. “Hello Elizabeth” he said as he slowly reached behind her and locked the door. “I’ve been looking for you. You gave me the slip when you went to New York. Yes Elizabeth I know everything. I know where you’ve been and what you’ve done for the last three years. I know that you have two children. Megan and Fulton. I also know that your little friend Alex is living with you now. Along with her little twerp Randy. I know that Marty isn’t here right now either and I know what he doesn’t.” At this point Liz’s eyes grew wide and she shook her head. “Yes I know about your little secret. I know both of your little secrets. I think you should have told him but it’s too late for that. Now we have business to conduct.”


Mean aren't I?

[njbohemian]

Yay it's an update!!! Nicely done!

[grumpypirate]

Hmmm....should I be nice and put up another part or be mean and make everyone wait?

[grumpypirate]

Warning. This part is rather violent.

He reached out and grabbed her and threw her against the wall on the far side of the room knocking down picture frames onto her head and shattering the glass. Elizabeth got to her feet and reached for the phone. Before she knew what was happening, John was at her side with a butcher knife in his hand. He knocked the phone from her hand and grabbed her hair. He drug her toward the center of the room and cut two slits in her cheeks. He then proceeded to cut her wrists and neck. He then took the knife and slashed her stomach. Blood splurged everywhere. He threw her around and continued to hit her and kick her. He then stuck the knife through her ribs, close to her heart and gave her one last kick. “You can bleed to death for all I care.” John said as he picked up his jacket and left Elizabeth lying in the middle of the room. Blood seeped out of her body into a bloody mess. Elizabeth lay on the floor breathing deeply and soon was knocked unconscious.

Next Part!!!!!



Hours later, Marty opened the door with a bunch of roses and a bottle of wine in his hands. When he saw Elizabeth he dropped the bottle and the roses and rushed over to her. He took you his cell phone and dialed 911. He cradled Elizabeth’s head in his lap as he stroked her hair. The medics soon arrived along with the police. They rushed Elizabeth to the emergency room and put her in the ICU. They wouldn’t let Marty in to see her, so he went to the phone and called Bobby. “Bobby it’s Marty.” Marty told him. “Liz is….um she’s hurt. Bad. Think you can get down here?” “I’ll be there in 10 minutes tops. Do you want me to call the rest of the gang? Do you want me to bring the kids here immediately or tell Alex to wait awhile?” Bobby said. “Call everyone and tell Alex to bring the kids as soon as she can.” Marty said as he fought back the tears. “Thanks man.” “No problem.” Bobby replied. Marty hung up the phone and sank down in a chair with his head in his hands. Bobby rushed into the waiting room 20 minutes later. “Sorry I couldn’t get here sooner. Traffic was horrible. Any news yet?” he asked as he sat down in the chair next to Marty. “Nothing yet.” Marty said as he lifted his head up put it back down again. “Don’t worry man.” Bobby said, “Liz is strong. She’ll be just fine.” “Mr. Casey can we ask you a few questions?” a police officer said as he walked up to the two of them. “Of course” Marty said. Marty and the police officer, Shane Wolf, walked over to a corner. “Mr. Casey we looked around you house and we’ve discovered evidence that leads to a Mr. John Matthews being there. We are looking for him at this very moment. Any information you have would be of great use.” “He was Elizabeth’s godfather. All I have to say is that he is a bastard and deserves to be in jail” Marty said. “When we have any news we’ll contact you.” Shane said. Marty went back to his seat next to Bobby.

Can anyone tell me what movie the name Shane Wolf came from?

Sorry GP, can't help you there...the only "Shane" I know was a western from 1953 starring Alan Ladd, but I don't think his last name was ever mentioned....

BTW, I just read the first installments of your new story...I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! Your attention to detail is incredible. Your characters VERY believeable....Keep up the good work!!! But stop keeping me in suspense and write more soon PLEASE? ?The violence, although somewhat surprising, did "add" to the story, every story needs a "bad guy" I guess....and I know you would NEVER make any of the LH out to be mean and nasty....well maybe the good kind of nasty just a little . Looking forward to the next chapter

“It’s all my fault.” Marty said the tears falling down his face. “No its not” Bobby said as he patted Marty’s back. “Yes it is.” Marty said. “I told her I would keep her safe and I failed.” “You didn’t fail” Bobby said. “You did what you could. It’s not your fault.” Just then Alex came in with the twins. “How is she?” Alex asked as Megan climbed onto Marty’s lap and Bobby picked up Fulton. “Doctor hasn’t said anything yet, and no one can see her yet.” Bobby said. “Daddy will Mommy be ok?” little Megan asked. “I don’t know sweetheart.” Marty said as Megan buried her face in his chest. They sat there till Joan and Dino came in. Several moments later, the doctor came out. Marty handed Megan to Dino and went to go talk with him. “How is she?” Marty asked the doctor. “She lost a lot of blood and she will need a blood transfusion. Her left arm looks pretty bad and she will have lots of scars not to mention the numerous bruises. I’m also afraid she lost the baby.” the doctor said.

Now I'm really being mean!

[oceancat46]

Ahh - GP - you're going to make us cry!!!!

[grumpypirate]

What?” Marty asked in surprise. “The baby.” The doctor replied. “She lost the baby. You did know she was pregnant?” “No” Marty said in shock. “She didn’t tell me.” “I’m very sorry for your loss Mr. Casey.” The doctor said. “Can we see her?” Marty asked. “She’s still unconscious but I think it will be alright once we’ve finished the transfusion. One at a time though. I’ll come get you as soon as we’re finished.” The doctor turned and walked back in the room while Marty slumped down against the wall. Bobby laid the sleeping Fulton in his chair and covered the small boy with his jacked and walked over to where Marty sat. “She was pregnant.” Marty said. “She was pregnant and lost the baby. I…I… why didn’t she tell me?” “It’ll be alright.” Bobby said. “Marty even if Elizabeth had told you about the baby there’s nothing you can do about it now.” Bobby helped Marty to his feet and Marty stumbled to his chair where he put his kids in his lap and hugged them close. By that time, Billy had arrived and the group gathered around Marty to hear what was going on. “She’s still unconscious.” Marty said. “She lost a ton of blood and is getting a transfusion right now. Her left are is in bad shape and she has a ton of bruises. She… she… she was pregnant and she…well she lost the baby.” At this point Marty broke down. The tears finally came pouring down. Alex sank down into her seat in shock while Dino put his arms around a sobbing 9 month pregnant Joan. Bobby sat down beside Alex and gently took Randy from her arms. She laid her head against his shoulder and let the tears fall. Billy went and called his wife to let her know how Liz was. Time passed and the doctor came out and told Marty he could go see his wife. Marty laid the each of the twins in a separate chair and recover Fulton in Bobby’s jacket and used his own leather jacket to cover Megan. He ran his fingers through his hair and walked into the room. Elizabeth was a pale mess. He arm was in a sling and her eyes looked bruised and puffy. Bandages covered half her face and her arms. The area around her ribs was bandaged up and still wet and red with blood. Marty took her hand gently, like it would break when he touched it, and sat down in the chair next to her bed. “Oh Lizzy.” He said as he tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. “I love you so much. You have to wake up. Do it for the twins. They need you. Damn it Liz. Why didn’t you tell me sweetie? Why didn’t you tell me about the baby?” Elizabeth’s eyes slowly fluttered open.

[grumpypirate]

“Marty” She murmured. Marty called for a nurse who immediately went to go get the doctor. “I’m sorry Marty. I’m so sorry.” Liz said weakly. “I…I should have told you about the baby.” “Shhh” Marty said. “It’s ok. You need to save your strength.” “I wanted it to be a surprise for when you got home.” Elizabeth said. “It was John. He found us.” Tears fell from Elizabeth’s eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Marty gently brushed them away. “It’ll be alright.” Marty said. “The police are already on the case. They’ll find him. I promise.” The doctor came in and ushered Marty out. Marty took one last look at Liz, blew her a kiss, and walked out. “Is Liz ok?” Alex asked as soon as Marty sat down in a chair next to the twins. “She’s awake but she looks horrible.” Marty said “but she’ll be just fine.” Bobby took the kids home that night so Marty could stay at the hospital with Liz. A few days past and Liz improved greatly with her friends and family surrounding her. Then she took a turn for the worst. Alex was in with her when Liz’s heart stopped beating. Alex called the doctor and was thrown out of the room while they revived Liz. Marty nearly had a heart attack when he found out. The doctors quickly revived her. A week later, Liz was well enough to be moved to a private room where everyone came to see her. While visiting, Joan went into labor. Soon a little baby boy came into the word. But as they say when a new life is born another is taken away.

GP......don't you dare do it....

[grumpypirate]

Don't shoot me.

5 hours later, Dino walked into Liz’s room with tears streaming down his face and a bundle in his arms. “Dino” Liz said. “Dino what’s wrong? What happened?” “Joan didn’t make it.” Dino whispered as he sat down on Elizabeth’s bed. He handed the baby to Marty while he put his face in Liz’s lap as she softly stroked his hair and whispered everything would be ok. “No it won’t.” Dino sobbed. “I loved her so much!” “I know you did Dino. I know.” Dino cried till there were no more tears left. “Dino, sweetie” Elizabeth said “You need to name the baby.” “Kobyn” Dino said. “Kobyn John. That’s what Joan would have wanted.” Liz took Kobyn from Marty and handed the sleeping baby to his father. Marty came over and put his arms around his wife who buried her head in his chest and cried. Bobby went over to Dino and guided his little brother to a chair while Billy took Jeremy from a shaking Alex. Liz lifted her head from Marty’s chest and looked at Dino. He looked so sad and confused as he looked at his little son. Anger soon replaced the hurt expression on his face. He stood up and put the baby in his brother’s arms. “Dino where are you gong?” Marty asked as Dino stormed out of the room. “Go after him you two.” Elizabeth said. Bobby pushed little Kobyn into Elizabeth’s arms and ran after his brother. Marty gave Elizabeth a kiss on the head and ran after Dino. Elizabeth called Joan’s sister Miranda and let her know the news. After she finished up on the phone, Elizabeth asked Billy if he could go get the twin from Marty’s mom’s house. He handed Randy to Alex and left without a word.

[yakketyyak]

ok gp.....tragic, but I no longer want to shoot you.....what's next? ......hurry up, the suspense is killing me!

[grumpypirate]

Ok sad part over. Here's the next part!

Meanwhile, Bobby ran down the hall to try and catch Dino. “Bro.” Bobby shouted. “Bro! Dino! Dino slow down. Dino talk to me man!” “I don’t want to talk.” Dino said as he pushed his way down the hall.” “Dino your not going to help yourself or your son by doing something stupid.” Bobby said. “Damn it Bobby” Dino said. “Why do shitty things always happen to me?” “Come on little bro” Bobby said, “Talk to me. Tell me what you feel.” “I feel like a piece of shit.” Dino said. “I was going to marry her as soon as the baby was born. She was the one I loved.” “I know Dino. I know.” Bobby said as he led Dino to a chair. “I can’t bring Joan back but I’ll do what I can to help you out. Now come on, you need to get back to your son.” Dino nodded and started to get up when Marty appeared. “You ok man?” Marty asked. Dino shrugged his shoulders and continued down the hall toward Liz’s room. They came in and Liz was sitting up in a chair with Kobyn in her lap, and little Randy, who was almost a year and a half, standing next to Alex who was behind Elizabeth’s chair. Liz handed Kobyn to his father. Marty picked Liz up and sat down in the chair where he placed Liz in his lap. Just then Billy came into the room leading the twins behind him. Elizabeth looked at Bobby and mouthed the words can you tell them? I don’t have the heart to. Bobby nodded his head and pulled the twins into his lap. The twins happy little faces fell as Uncle Bobby told them that Joan had gone to heaven. The twins climbed into Liz’s lap and leaned into her. Several hours later, Liz’s cell phone rang. Liz exchanged a few words and asked Bobby to go pick up Miranda. Bobby left and Billy went home with the twins. Alex left soon afterwards. A few days later Liz was released from the hospital with the doctors warning of get plenty of rest or I’ll have you back in here. The next day was Joan’s funeral. Dino looked horrible. In truth everyone did. Mandy stayed with Dino to help take care of little Kobyn. Marty cancelled the last two shows of the tour with a promise they would be back at a better time. Marty wouldn’t let Liz do anything except sit on the couch and watch TV. All hell broke loose one night when Elizabeth tired to get up to go get a drink from the kitchen. “Damn it Marty” Elizabeth yelled. “I can do this by myself. I’m hurt not dead. If I need your help I’ll ask.” “I know honey and I’m sorry.” Marty said. “It’s just I came so close to loosing you that it scares me. I don’t know what I would do without you.” Just then the phone rang. Elizabeth being the closest to it, answered. A smile spread across her face as she put the phone back. “What’s going on Liz?” Marty asked. “That was the police.” Liz said. “They found John and he’s on his way to prison right now.” A smile spread across Marty’s face as he reached out, grabbed Liz, and spun her around.
