Chapter 32 - NOTHING IS NORMAL ANYMORE

Jeff retorts, "Something about your guest dad."

"What has Shawney to do with them?" Train demanded.

When Jeff said, "Well, as you can hear from the quarriling, it seems to be a lot," 

Hearing his response, Train ignores him and goes to check the front door, then returns to Torren's room to help settle him down.

Train felt like his head would explode, and his eyes burned from a sleepless night with all the chaos in the house. 

"How come a beautiful evening like that could turn out to be such a disaster? Why on earth did the Wilsons have to show up? Now my entire house is in an uproar.'

Torren didn't fall asleep until the Doctor gave him a tranquilliser. If I had the slightest inkling, this would have happened. I would have just left him at home.'

Hearing how angry Candis was because Travis was watching Shawney. "Now they are in separate rooms."

Getting just two hours of rest, Train's main concern right now is, "Where did the child sleep last night?

"And why didn't I figure out when she asked me to stop the car, she had planned to leave? If I go in search of her, where do I start looking?"

Entering the hall, I saw Liz with the child, looking irritable and worn out

Hearing her plea, "Please, Sir, take Gretta. I am tired and need to attend to Tray, and then I need to get some rest with all the chaos during the night. I didn't get any rest."

Feeling compassion fills his heart for the care and love she takes for the two children"I am sorry, Liz."

"No need to, Sir, just try and get her to drink the tea that will help. If only your guest were here, she would quiet down the children, and everyone would get some rest. Let me give Tray his bath."

Hearing Careen saying to Liz, "Sorry, Liz, if only I didn't have to go to the office, I would have help with the children." 

"That's all right, Ma'am." Liz understands her reason was valid, because she always helps with the children.

Seeing Dad holding Gretta, "Morning, Dad. Is Torren still resting?"

"Yes, Careen, but aren't you late for the office, child?" Train seems very concerned.

"Dad, I have a presentation this morning, and I overslept."

"Just be careful as you go, my child."

Seeing her hurrying out as she said, "I will, Dad, and Dad, try and get some rest when Gretta sleeps away, will you?"

"I will, child, and good luck with your presentation." She gave him a thumbs-up and hurried out.

When the loud bang came, Train grabbed Gretta and ran outside.

Seeing the car's front smashed on the wall and Careen's head on the steering wheel, calling out for Carl to come, and seeing Liz running out, "Go get Carl quickly."

Watching Travis running towards the car, "Dad, what is wrong?"

"Hurry up and check on Careen, she is in the car."

"Oh, my goodness, Dad, go and call the Doctor now," Travis said.

When Carl came, Jeff and Lasandra followed, then Candis.

"Nothing is normal anymore, thank God Torren is asleep, or he would go into one of his episodes again." 

Seeing the way Carl was panicking when the doctor reached, we had to move him aside for the doctor to attend to her.

The doctor took about forty minutes. When he finished attending to Careen, he had to rush and attend to Gretta, who was in an uproar, screaming down the place.

The Doctor had to give her a sedative to calm her down while Tray was crying nonstop.

"Liz, will you take the children into the playroom? Honey, will you assist Liz and Candis? Please go along with them?" Jeff instructed.

Train was trying to get Carl to calm down, "How can I be calm, Dad? Just suppose the backlash hampers the baby?" 

"My child is carrying my grandchild? Oh, dear God, what is really going on? Since last night, this house has turned upside down, from one incident to another."

Train closed his eyes as the troubles of Job flashed in his thoughts. "Dear Father, I get a little taste of what Job experience is."

Overhearing his Dad's words, "Dad, what happened last night?"

"Nothing, Jeff, I told you that last night."

"Then why was Torren knocking at the door of the guest room, and apologising to your guest, and where is she now?" 

"I don't know, Jeff, I am worried for our guest, if there were a misunderstanding, I could understand that, but nothing happens. All she did was ask me to stop the car. When I did, I thought she wanted to sit in the front seat because Torren was ignoring her.

Now I don't know where she is, her purse is still in the car, she has no money, and I am worried out of my mind."

"Dad, why did she leave?"

"I told you Torren was in his silent mode, and she felt ignored, that's it, I don't even know if he is aware of what had occurred."

Jeff was curious to know why Dad's guest would feel ignored "Why do you say that, Dad?"

Becoming angry with Jeff's inquisitiveness when it comes to Torren.

"Jeff, didn't you say he was knocking at the door and calling out to her. Now kindly stop all the questions. It is very tiring and frustrating; my brain is exhausted."

"Yes, you are right, Dad. I am sorry, it really seems as though he isn't aware of what had occurred in the car from what you said."

Train couldn't help but notice his smug smile, knowing he was always the one cooking up trouble.
