It's been about a week since we had seen Amy. Brad called the home to check on her and he was able to talk to her. She told him that she had told them everything that she told us. They did verify her alibi for the night of our accident so the police know. She said she was being charged for a stolen vehicle but because of her mental health charges may be dropped. Amy is required to spend 6 months at the home to make sure her medications are right and goes through the treatments.

The police however are investigating Nancy and really there's no proof that they've found yet. She's covered her tracks well. So it's pretty much Amy's word against Nancy's. Brad did tell them she's been off her meds.

Ivan has his appointment today with the specialist. Hopefully he finds out what's going on. Nurse Abby is still staying with him too. Brad insisted on being at Ivan's appointment so he's running around getting ready to go. He yells from his and Courtney's room asking if I wanted to go too. I say yes and get my lonely little shoe on. He meets me at the living room and we head out.

Arriving at Ivan's Brad asks me to please pretend like we know nothing about Amy and Nancy and to just ignore her. We go inside and wait for the doctor to arrive. Once he arrives we fill him in with what he already knows but just want to make sure he didn't miss anything.

The doctor thoroughly looks Ivan over. He takes about 4 or 5 vials of blood. I look over and Nancy looks nervous. Maybe she's just anxious as to what the doctor has to say, I give her the benefit of a doubt.  Looks over the CT scan that he had done 3 days prior that Nurse Abby had him transported too and says that it looks pretty normal.

"I'm going to run the blood work. I'm running every test possible on his blood. His scans look normal, so I'm not too sure what's going on yet. Give me a few days to run the tests and hope we have some answers." The doctor says. "Brad right?"

"Yes." Brad answers.

"I'll be in touch since you are his point of contact with the power of attorney." The doctor says.

"That's ridiculous!" Nancy yells. "I'm the one taking care of him!"

"Um actually I have been!" Nurse Abby says.

"Stop! All of you!" Brad yells. "All of you will know as soon as I know."

"The hell with you! I want to see his supposed power of attorney." Nancy demands.

"I'm sorry ma'am but that's against HIPAA." The doctor responds.

Brad walks over and shakes his hand, thanks him and the doctor leaves.

"How dare you Bradley!"

"Mom seriously get a grip! I'm tired of you lately! Take your goddam meds already!" He snaps.

"Don't you dare talk to me that way!"

"What way mom? The same way you're talking to me? You have a lot of nerve after everything you've done!"

I pull my phone out feeling it vibrate from getting a message. It's Derek, but I ignore it and go to the voice recorder hoping Nancy says something to use against her.

"I don't know what you're talking about Bradley!" She says.

"Let's see mom should I start with flipping out at Ella's welcome home party where you knocked her on her ass and threw her belongings over the second story railing, or you running my fiancé and Ella off the road causing Courtney's car to flip landing Ella in the hospital and losing her baby!"

Brad's face is so red! Nancy doesn't know what to say. "Well mom?"

"She had the nerve to show up with a new boyfriend right in front of Ivan!" She screams. "As far as running them off the road! How the hell was I supposed to know they'd flip over?" She throws her hands up to cover her mouth. "I was just trying to scare her, Courtney just happened to be there."

"You're crazy! You could have killed them! You may not have killed them but you killed her baby!" He says looking at me.

Nancy comes toward me. "I'm so sorry Ella." She tries to hug me and I step back.

"I want nothing to do with you! How could you do that? How could you do that to Amy too?!?! She told us everything!" I scream.

"She wasn't supposed to tell you. She knows what's in store for her if she told. Her life will be ruined." Nancy replied.

"You already ruined a huge part of her life by killing her baby!" I say.

"She was fucking her brother! She was pregnant with her brothers baby! That's incest!" Nancy shouts.

"You gave Amy up for adoption! You adopted Ivan long after they were dating!" Brad chimes in. "They are not fucking blood!"

Brad walks over to the coat rack and grabs mine and his coat. He puts his on and helps me with mine. He opens the door and walks out. He doesn't say anything I know just to follow.

Driving down Ivan's driveway he slams his hands off the steering wheel. He's angry and I don't dare say anything. I've never seen Brad this angry. But no wonder, his world has been turned upside down.

"Ella I'm sorry." He finally says after calming himself down.

"What do you have to be sorry for? You have nothing to do with this."

"She's my mother Ella." He says and puts his hand on my leg. "Shit! I'm sorry Ella, I don't know why I just did that."

"Brad..." I say grabbing his hand and hold with both of mine. "It's ok. I know you didn't mean anything by it. It was just a gesture just like this is my gesture to you."

"My mom just has my head a fucking mess. She's fucking crazy Ella! Fucking crazy! She could have killed you two!"

"Brad we are ok, we survived. You will get to marry Courtney and I will get to move on with my life."

His face relaxes a bit. I can tell he's taking deep breaths and he's calmed down enough to rationally talk.

"You still unsure about Ivan and Derek?" He asks.

"Yeah. Ivan, I only got to know for a short time before he ended up in a coma and Derek, I didn't realize how important he was until recently when he's been here for me so much."

"I can understand that. If Ivan were awake though he would be here for you too."

"And I know that. Don't worry I haven't forgotten."

"I'm not saying you have. I know it's hard for you and it means a lot that you've been coming with me to see him and that you were there for his appointment."

"No problem. I was going to ask you if could come but I didn't want to interfere."

"Trust me it's better that you came along."

"Oh! Speaking of which! I recorded everything. Please don't be mad at me."

"That was genius! Smart thinking! When we get home we will call Officer Manning and have him come listen to it. But first let's play it and make sure everything can be heard."

I press the play button and we listen to it. Brad pulls into the parking spot at the apartment and we finish listening to the recording. I look up and see Derek waiting on the steps. He stands running over to get my door expecting me to hand him crutches. When he has the door open he looks surprised and tells me he likes my boot.

"Courtney's home, how come you didn't wait inside? It's cold out."

"I didn't realize she was. Not used to her new car."

"Well come inside Brad and I have something important for you and Courtney to hear."

The three of us head into the apartment and Courtney's in the kitchen making dinner. She turns around and greets us. Brad goes over to her and plants a kiss on her lips.

"Woah did you miss me or something?"

"Yes but also thankful for this moment. Listen to this."

I press play on my phone and turn the volume up. Courtney and Derek have it up to their ears listening to it. Brad's standing with his arms crossed and I'm sitting at the table. After they were done listening Courtney hands me my phone.

"So that's good enough for a confession right?" Courtney asks.

"I'm going to call Officer Manning now and have him come listen." Brad's says while dialing his number.

Officer Manning is a block away and tells Brad he will be here in a minute.

Officer Manning arrives and listens to the recording. He emails the recording to himself and says he will see what the chief says.

"Glad you caught this." Officer Manning says.

"Will it help?" I ask.

"It should. It plainly has her admitting to it. You clearly call her Nancy and you clearly call her mom, Brad." He answers. "Let me get down to the station and I'll be in touch probably tomorrow."

Brad shakes his hand and walks him to the door. Officer Manning turns around and tells us all to have a good night. I wave and Brad shuts the door.
