In the Family Page #2

No. Don't call me that!

What, Chipmunk? You're telling me you don't

like being called Chipmunk, Chipmunk?

And Daddy keeps calling me...

That's 'cause he knows you love it.

You know, I know what else you love.

Are you trying to get away from me? Huh?

You love when I do this.

Its time for bed, Chipmunk.

Its time for bed!

Nothing you can do about it.

I don't need two of you.

You've got two of us.

Someone help me!

No one can help you. Its too late for you.

You're done! You're done!

Hey.

Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.

Long day, huh?

Looong day.

Anne's pretending to be mad

at you for missing her party.

Anne.

Chip's pretending to be

mad at me for acting like you.

Chip.

You remember who has

training early tomorrow?

You do.

So who has to take Chip to school?

I do.

You forgot, didn't you?

I did.

Any wonder I fell for such a smooth talker?

Hello? Hey Eileen. You're where?

What...?

But what...?

Is he... Eileen, is he...?

Okay, yeah, I got it. Ill be right there.

Yeah, we'll be right there.

Hey, buddy, we got to go.

But Im not done.

Sorry, we got to go now.

But my shoes...

I got 'em. You can put them on in the car.

Let's go. Let's go.

Dave, what's going on? Is he okay?

Yeah. They started the surgery a little while ago and

they said they'd let us know if anything happens, so...

What happened, Dave?

Do you know what happened to him?

I don't know. They talked mostly to Eileen.

She just told me the part about the surgery.

Okay. Who did Eileen talk with?

Nurse's name was Rachel

something. Im not sure...

Are they talking now?

But Eileen also talked to the

doctor for a few minutes.

Okay, are they talking now? They're...

No, no, doctor's in surgery now.

And Eileen actually had to go home.

Okay. Is that the nurse you were talking to?

No. Im sorry. I don't see her, Joey, Im sorry.

No, that's fine. Ill figure out where she is,

what's going on. Do you remember the doctor's name?

It was doctor... yeah, it was Doctor Sills.

Okay, great. Im just gonna go...

Chip, Daddy's going to go talk to that nurse over there,

okay? You want to come with me or stay here with Uncle Dave?

Come with you.

Alright, let's go, buddy. Let's go.

Can I help you?

Yes. Im Joey Williams.

Im waiting here with Dave, and...

Im sorry Dave...?

Yeah, Dave Robey over there. We're family of Cody Hines.

He, he was in a car accident.

Yesss...

And another nurse, a Rachel someone,

I think, said he was in surgery.

Yes, now I have an Eileen Robey and David Robey

listed as sister and brother-in-law.

Right.

Okay. And Im sorry, you are...?

Joey Williams. We live together.

This is our kid Chip, Chip Hines.

Okay.

Joey's still doing okay-

Cody's still doing okay, right? Stable?

Eileen told me he was stable, but that was a

little while ago. Do you know what's happening now?

Nurse Edwards will talk to you about that.

Okay. Okay, I haven't met her yet.

Is that Rachel Edwards?

Yes.

Okay, can you tell me where I can find her?

Ill let her know to talk to you.

Okay. Alright, Ill be right over there with Dave.

Ill let her know.

And she knows what's going on with Cody, right?

Because I don't really know anything.

I don't know how bad it was or

what they're trying to fix now, or anything.

Nurse Edwards will talk to you about all that.

Or the doctor, can I talk to him now?

Not right now.

Right. Okay. Thanks.

And, sorry, if you need me

for anything, let me know.

Could you tell Nurse Edwards that?

That if she needs anything Im over there.

Like if she has questions about Cody or something.

Okay.

Alright. And she'll be back soon?

Any minute.

Okay.

You okay, buddy?

Good. We're going to be okay.

They didn't tell you what happened?

What they're trying to do?

No, they talked to Eileen about that,

I didn't get much of it.

Hey, Chip, Daddy's going to make a call, okay?

Hey Eileen, it's Joey. Its about 9:30 now.

Im here at the hospital with Dave.

I was hoping you knew what happened exactly.

I guess the nurse, Nurse Edwards is supposed

to come talk to us, but I haven't seen her yet.

Hey, Dave, Sally knows right?

Yeah, Im going to go pick her up at noon.

Okay.

Yeah, so call me back when you get this

and Ill let you know what's going on.

Or you can let me know what's going on. Bye.

Did you call your work?

Oh, no no. I should.

Mr. Robey, we called this

number that your wife gave us...

Hi, are you Nurse Edwards?

You are. Great. Is he okay?

Is he doing okay now?

Wait, are you also here for Mr. Hines?

Yes, Im Joey Williams. I live with him.

This is our kid Chip, Chip Hines.

Is he still in surgery?

Is he with the doctor in surgery?

No no no. He hasn't gone into surgery yet.

Mr. Robey, your wife gave us this doctor's information, but when we

contacted his office, they didn't have any records for Mr. Hines.

No, that's not his doctor.

Do you have any idea...

That hasn't been his doctor for years.

This is his doctor now.

Are you sure?

Yeah. Definitely.

Okay. Okay, good.

Is there something else you need to know?

About his medical history? He's allergic to penicillin

and he needs... do you want to write that down?

Chip, your Dad'll be right back.

Hi...

Hey baby.

So they finished the surgery about an hour ago.

They got started really late.

I was here for hours before they started.

And it was harder than they thought.

The doctor explained a little bit more what happened.

Its awful, Eileen.

It looks like, it looks like

Cody got pretty roughed up.

But they did a lot, so he's resting now.

They said that they would...

they'd learn a lot from

how he does tonight. Okay?

Okay.

Ill be right back.

Okay.

Hey Joey.

Oh, Eileen. Hey.

I brought your stuff.

Oh good. Thanks for picking it up.

Are you sure you don't want

to go home and get some rest?

No, tonight's important, they said.

So Im gonna stick around.

Do you want Chip come home stay with us?

No, that's fine. He, he wants to stay.

Mr. Robey, Mrs. Hines. If you'd like,

you can see Mr. Hines now.

He's not conscious, but you can

sit with him for a few minutes if you like.

Yes. I'd like that, yes.

Good. This way, Mrs. Hines.

Oh, Im sorry, Mr. Williams, only family members

allowed to visit at this time.

Oh. So you mean I can't see him?

I mean, we are family, we...

Im sorry, Mr. Williams.

No, Joey, is...

No, it's okay. Chip, go with Grandma Sally, okay?

I don't want to go.

Chip!

Hold on a sec.

Hey Chipmunk.

Hey!

Im sorry. I didn't even ask.

Yeah, I didn't even ask what you wanted to do.

You don't have to go in there if you

don't want to, you know that, right?

Its okay. Its okay.

Pa got hurt, and it'll be hard

to see him like that, I know.

But you know what?

If it was me back there,

now Im just trying to think like Pa now.

I think Id really like to have my Chip with me.

Yeah? Yeah...

That'd probably be more

important than just about anything else.

And my eyes may be closed,

and maybe I don't say a thing,

but I would know you were there.
