on-going. The cops feel there’s some connection between that case and Dexter’s. I need to get back upstairs but I’ll keep you posted.”
Finally, after two hours of patiently waiting, the doctor came in with an update.
“Are you the Haines’s?” he asked.
“Yes sir, how’s Carmen and the baby?” Dave asked.
“It was touch and go there for a moment but they’re both fine. You can see them once we move Carmen to her room. We’ll let you know, until then relax, everything’s great, congratulations grandma and grandpa.” He said shaking their hands.
Eva Haines grabbed her husband around the neck, relieved at the news that her daughter and grandson were well. Moments later the nurse showed them to Carmen’s room. On her chest was a beautiful healthy baby boy. Carmen was very thankful that her son was healthy but extremely sad that his father couldn’t be here to welcome him into the world. She couldn’t hold the tears back as they uncontrollably flowed down her face.
“So what are we calling him mommy?” Eva asked.
“I’ve decided to name him Zachary David Crane, David after daddy, we’ll call him Zachary.”
“He’s so beautiful Carmen, can I hold him please?” Eva asked.
Carmen handed Zachary to his grandma. She could only weep as she realized the overwhelming love she already felt for him, it was amazing. She feared he may never know his father, life seemed so unfair at times, and this was one of those times.
Back at the cabin, Carol decided to test Dexter’s true feelings.
“Carmen was rushed to the hospital earlier, the doctors had to perform an emergency C-section and take the baby.” She told him.
“Is she okay, and the baby, how is he?” Dexter questioned.
“They’re fine but what do you care? You said you loved me and was moving on with your life. I thought you didn’t want that responsibility, were you lying?”
“I just wondered how they were, I don’t really care; I was just trying to be polite in asking. You’re the one I care about, I love you Carol.”
Later that night as Carol appeared to be sleeping, Dexter slipped out of bed, taking Carol’s cell phone with him.
“Can you connect me to Carmen Haines’s room please?” Dexter asked the hospital operator.
There was silence for a moment.
“Hello?” Carmen answered.
“Oh my God, I can’t believe it’s you, I’ve missed you so much, how are you?”
“Dexter, is that really you, where are you, are you okay?”
“I don’t really know where I am, I haven’t been able to go outside the cabin since I’ve been here. Carol brought me here in the trunk. I tried to escape once but it didn’t work out well.”
“It’s so good to hear the sound of your voice. I thought you were dead, what can I do to help you?” Carmen asked.
“What do you think you’re doing, who is that? Give me my phone right now.” Carol demanded angrily.
Dexter whirled around and by the look on Carol’s face, she was extremely angry with him. He knew the outcome of their altercation couldn’t end well for him.
“I was trying to get the number for the flower shop, I want to send you some roses but I didn’t get it, do you know it by chance?” Dexter lied.
“Why are you lying to me Dexter, you were talking to her wasn’t you?”
“No, I told you what I was doing, why can’t you believe me?”
Carol opened her cell phone and pulled up her directory, redialing the last number called.
“Floyd Medical Center, can I help you please?” the voice said.
Carol turned to Dexter.
“Do you think I’m stupid Dexter? You just had to do it didn’t you; I thought you were over her, I should have known better.”
She didn’t think twice before hitting Dexter with the stick. She pulled it back as far as she could and let him have it in the left knee. She hit him so hard, he almost passed out. There was no doubt in his mind that Carol had shattered his kneecap; the pain was tremendous.
Meanwhile, Carmen was hysterical
