Sam pulled into the hospital. Some nurses and a doctor were hanging around the enterance when Sam drove up.Help me! He got shot! Sam screamed at them, kicking the door open. Whiskey whimpered, feeling his leg bump against Aidan's hip as Sam flew outside. The nurses ran inside, almost like panicking geese, and came out with a stretcher. The doctor threw open the door and checkedon Aidan.Hey buddy. I am Doc Evans. Can you tell what happened? he asked him.Patient has a bullet woudn to his knee cap, is half unconcious, and not very responsive, he said briskly to one of the nurses, picking the bopy up and laying him on the stretcher. A nurse ran inside, saying she needed to call social services and the police right away but one stopped her, saying she would call April and no one else. They weren't in the big city.

Aidan's head rolled back as he was lifted from the truck and placed onto the stretcher. He tried moving, only one thing on his mind.Whiskey... He finally managed to get out, and then closed his eyes once more, his hand dropping to his side. He wanted the dog more then ever right now, and Sam as well. But she seemed to have disappeared. Suddenly, a man's voice came out of no where, and he shrunk back in fear, his eyes opening, but having a glazed look to them. Seeing him, he recognized him as a doctor that had helped him before, and he relaxed considerably.Dad...s-shoot...Whiskey... He said, trying to make sense of it all. But suddenly, he lost all conciousness and he was out, unable to hear or see anything. His breathing was slightly shallow, and he was losing a lot of blood. The knee cap was totally shattered, and it would be a mircale if he didn't lose the leg. What was going to happen to him? |

The doctor told his head nurse to write that down and start wheeling him to the ER. He went over to Sam, who had her face pressed against the hospital wall. Softly, he spoke to her and they went into the hospital, Sam face wet from tears. Dr Evans went to the ER to work on Aidan and Sam went into the hospital chapal, kneeling before the cross and holding her rosary again...
((You can take the Dr over if ya want))

The surgery was long and drawn out, and the doctor was worried that he couldn't save the leg. But the pieces of the knee were screwed back together, as well as replaced with metal plates to keep it stronger. He was extremely worried though. Aidan would go through the rest of his life with pain and hard times...this knee would never heal fully. Sighing, he pulled the bullet from the wound and then used fifty four stitches to keep it closed. Looking down at him, it even caused him to cringe. He wrapped it with special gauze, and then two ace bandages. He wouldn't out a full cast on it until those stitches were out. But the wound from the bullet was making it diifcult. He ordered for the young boy to be moved to a stationary room, and then he went out, changing his gown for his lab coat, holding the clipboard in his hand. Looking for Sam, he hesitated and then went over.Sam...we've got some bad news. It's up to you to decide what you want to happen. Right now, he has fourteen screws and five plates holding his knee together. The bullet shattered his knee cap, and I'm a bit worried. He's going to be in pain for the rest of his life...do you want me to remove the leg? If he gets a prosthetic limb, he will still be able to ride and complete physical activities. It'll be awkward at first, but then he'll get used to it. Sam...it's the best thing for him. You know I would tell you otherwise if it wasn't. He finished softly, his eyes filled with pain. If Aidan had a false limb, he wouldn't be in nearly as much pain if he had his real leg. It was up to Sam though. |

Sam still knelt before the alter, the rosary pressed against her lips.Do what you think is best for him, she said quietly, closing her eyes tight. She could hardly bear to hear the news but she couldn't stop it. But one question circled her mind. She could keep Aidan safe..... but who could and who would?

He nodded softly after giving her a wounded look, and then touched her shoulder gently. Letting go, he turned on his heel and strode back into the hospital room. This was the best thing for the young man...he knew it in his heart. Taking a deep breath, he spoke of what he wanted and then went to the operating room, getting what he needed for the surgery. He watched as Aidan was wheeled in, and he gave him another dose of anesthitics to keep him asleep during this time. He moved quickly and acurately, and soon the destroyed limb was removed, and the wound was quickly stitched up. Aidan would need someone there for him when he woke up, and for months after he did. Sighing, he strode out and back to Sam, after getting changed.Sam...you can go and see him now. He whispered softly and then turned around. There was nothing else he could do. Aidan lay in the hospital bed, his missing leg covered by the blankets that kept him warm. His eyes soon flickered open and he looked around in confusion. Where was Sam? Where was Whiskey and Ebony? What was going on? |

Sam nodded when Dr Evans came back and walked down the hall to Aidan's room. She slowed to a stop at his door, biting her bottom lip softly, and opened the door, walking in. A smile was on her face but her eyes were filled with pain.Hey Aidan, she said quietly, standing by the door.

He had no idea that he was missing his leg. He didn't know what had happened, just that he had been in extreme pain. He furrowed his brow as he heard a voice and then looked to the door. Trying to sit up, hef elt a wave of pain greet him and he laid back down. Seeing her smile, he knew everything had to be alright. Somehow.Sam....how's Whiskey? He questioned, pain beading his brow. He didn't want to know what happened to himself...he didn't want to know how long he had to be in cast because of his broken knee. That would e horrible. He looked down for a moment and wondered why his leg was under the blankets, and not above if it was broken. Lifting the covers up, he stared for a moment, not believing it. This couldn't be happening. He looked back at Sam with wild eyes, wondering why they had taken away his leg.Sam...w-why? I want it back... He said, and finally showed his tears. THey streamed down his face with what seemed like no end, and he closed his eyes, sobbing softly. |

Sam walked over to his bed and wrapped her arms around his upper body, holding him close.Shhh.. Shhh.. Its ok.. Its ok.... They had to take it off.... I am sorry Aidan, she murmered, not trusting herself to try and speak normally.Whiskey is ok. The doctor let me work on him here before I went into the chapel for...... but I think God doesn't want me to care for you or wanted to help your leg. Her voice was cracking and she felt tears running down her own face.
A black head rested on the bed as a grey upper body rested itself on Aidan's bed. Ebony whimpered softly and Whiskey gave a gruff bark, as if telling Aidan to perk up and pet him for biting his dad. In his mouth was a bit of shirt with some blood on it. He wouldn't let Sam even touch it while sheworked on him.

Aidan hugged her in return, burrying his head into her shoulder as she held him close. Once she let go, he laid back onto the bed and listened to what she was saying. Not meant to take care of him? His eyes filled with fear and apprehension, and he watched her in disbelief.S-Sam..no. Don't say that. I...I don't want to leave you...or the ranch. Please Sam...I'm sorry..I'm sorry I'm so much trouble...but don't make me leave. He begged with her, pleaded softly. He felt weight upon the bed and looked down to see Whiskey and Ebony. One hand went to Ebony's head and he stroked her softly, and then he looked over to Whiskey.I'm sorry he got you Whiskey... He said softly and then pet him with his other hand, his eyes going back up to Sam and searching her face for an answer. |

Sam sat down in a chair next to his bed, unable to lok at him.Aidan, I can't keep you safe.. You saw what happened. I should have been there to keep you safe.. I should have done something to make sure he STAYED in jail.. Aidan, I don't want to have you leave but... I am not suitable to keep you safe or make sure you stay away from him, she said in a breaking voice. Whiskey whimpered softly when he bumbed his own leg. It ws broken quiet badly and Sam had done the best she could.

He listened softly to her words and his face became shadowed and angered. This was what he had thought would happen from the beginning. He looked away from her, not believing what she was saying.You're just like everyone else. I knew it...there's no one for me. You're giving up on me..just like he did. No one cares..and I should have known from the beginning. There was no one who would want an orphan. He told her angrily. That was how he felt right now. He didn't feel sorry for himself, he felt sorry that he had ever trusted her. Looking away, he knew there wasn't anywhere he could go. He was too weak to get up, and he couldn't leave with just one leg. He looked down as Whiskey whined, and he touhed the dog's head, feeling the tears slide down his cheeks. How could she? |

Sam got up, placing her rosary on Aidan's chest.I am going to go get something... Can I be sure you will be here when I get back? she asked, her eyes red and her nose puffy. Dr Evans stood at the door and knocked softly, stepping in.I was just leaving Dr, she said and walked out the door, wiping her face. Dr Evans walkedover, looking back as Sam left.Did I miss something here? he asked, blinking a few times. Whiskey watched Sam and Ebony leave, whimpering softly.

He listened softly and nodded.Where am I going to go? He questioned honestly and then felt her lay something upon his chest. Looking down, he recognized her rosary. Taking it into his fist, he held it tightly, then let his hand fall down and under the blankets again. Looking away from the doctor as he came in, he sighed and then pet Whiskey onec he whined. Answering the doctor's question, he closed his eyes in pain.She doesn't want me anymore..just like everyone else. |

Dr Evans rubbed his chin, eyebrows furrowed.Why do you say that? When you got beat up pretty bad that onetime, Sam cried and cried and wouldn't leave the chapel.. Personally, Ithink she is giving you up because she is giving up on herself, he said sadly. It was terrible when a woman like her began to have doubts about herself and what she did.But now lets look at your leg quick, he said, lifting up the blanket and poking his fake leg.I gave you the best I could so you can ride and run and do other gy things and teen things.
