 Chapter 4

(Three days went by.)

Dr. Ian enters and he checks Ken over again. "You are free to go. You are expecting. I want you to have checks ups, it won't this kind at all." Said Dr. Ian to Ken. "OK, it sure feels good after that sleep." Said Ken as he gets up. Dr. Ian smiles at this as he leaves.  Ken gets dressed as Sam enters the room. "Are you ready to head home?" Sam asks Ken. "Yes I am." Said Ken as he follows Sam. Sam takes Ken home and Mark sees Ken arriving. "Glad to see you are at home. Sam has kept me up to date." Said Mark to Ken.

There was a knock on the door. Mark went to answer it. Mark brings the sheriff into the kitchen. "Ken this is Sheriff Ace. He has heard about you." Said Mark as he introduces them. "Nice to meet you." Said Ken to Sheriff Ace. "Same here" He replies. "Want anything to drink Ace?" Mark asks him. "Sure, I hear you are Trent and Gail son. News travels in this town real fast. Plus I wanted to meet you as well." Said Ace to Ken.

"Thanks, I am. I hear great things about my parents. I wished I was able to meet them." Said Ken to Ace. "They were loved here everyone loved them. I can tell you stories about them and what they did for this town." Said Ace to Ken. Ken smiles at this. He tells where he grew up and who raised him. "I sure don't want anything more with him at all." Said Ken to Ace. "By the sound by him that he is a mean person. If he does find you here let me know and I can deal with him. There will be no one here that will let him do that to you. I will suggest hire a lawyer as well." Said Ace to Ken. "Good idea. I already love this town and it feels like home to me." Said Ken to Ace. Mark returns with the drinks. They drink up and have small talk until all the drinks are done. "If you need anything let me know." Said Ace as he leaves.

"Do you think your uncle will try to find you?" Mark asks Ken. "I have no idea; I know I don't want to see him again. Not the way he treated me." Said Ken. "I would hire the lawyer that your parents had he is the top one here." Suggest Sam. "I agree, I will call him and see what I need to do." Said Ken as he calls John. He talks for awhile then he hangs up. "That was easy, if my uncle does try to contact me he has to go thru my lawyer." Said Ken to the others. "That is good. You look beat Ken." Said Sam as he looks at Ken. "I am. I'm going to have a lie down for awhile." Said Ken. "Good idea, I will walk myself out." Said Sam as he leaves.

(Two months went by.)

Ken comes downstairs and sees Mark working in the kitchen. "Smells good Mark." Said Ken as he sits down. "Thanks, how are you feeling?" Mark asks Ken. "Good, I sure feel the baby move." Said Ken as Mark serves him. "I can believe that. What time are you appointment?" Mark asks Ken. "At one. Want to come with me?" Ken asks Mark. "Sure." Said Mark as he eats as well. After Mark is done eating he cleans up. Then he and Ken read before they head out to Ken appointment.

(Later.)

Ken and Mark enter the hospital. Ken talks to the lady at the desk. She tells him to sit down and wait for Dr. Ian. Few minutes later Dr. Ian comes out. Ken introduce Mark as Dr. Ian leads him to the examine room. "Any problems?" Dr. Ian asks Ken. "No." Said Ken to Dr. Ian. "That is good. Please take off your shirt and lie down." Said Dr. Ian to Ken. Ken does what he was told. "This will be cold."Said Dr. Ian to Ken as he puts the gel on Ken. "It is cold." Said Ken as he feels it.  Dr. Ian checks the baby over after he is done he wipes off the gel. Ken stands up and puts his shirt back on. "There is no problem at all. We will wait another two months or so for another check up." Said Dr. Ian to Ken. "OK. Thanks again Dr. Ian." Said Ken as he and Mark leaves. "That doesn’t seem to hurt." Said Mark to Ken. "No, when I was here the first time I had to into an elixirs coma for an x-ray and a check up. I don't remember that at all." Said Ken to Mark.  They arrive back at home. Ken went to grab a book before he sat down the phone rings. He put his book down and answers the phone. He talks for a bit then he hangs up.

"By your face it isn't good news." Said Mark to Ken. "No, somehow a private eye who works for my uncle has found me. He wants me to meet him." Said Ken to Mark. "Oh boy, I would call Ace and your lawyer to see what they say." Said Mark. Ken nods his head as he calls Ace. He tells Ace what is happening after a few minutes later he calls his lawyer, he talks to him for a few minutes then he hangs up. "The lawyer will contact this private eye and deal with him." Said Ken as he picks up his book. "Ace will keep an eye out for him as well. I don't want him here at all." Said Ken. "I agree I sure don't want to meet him at all." Said Mark as he goes and do his chores.

There was a knock on the door. Mark went to answer it. Ken hears an argument at the door before Mark closes the door on the person. "That didn't sound good." Said Ken as he notices Mark enter the room. "It was that private eye. He wanted to come in and talk to you. I said no and he wouldn't listen. I am calling Ace to get him off the property." Said Mark as he calls Ace.  "Is he still here?" Ken asks Mark. "Yes, he isn't leaving. Here comes Ace."Said Mark as he watches Ace arriving.  "I hope he can make him leave." Said Ken to Mark. "Me too." Said Mark as he continues watching.

Few minutes later Mark sees the private eye leaves. Ace comes to the door. Mark opens the door to let him in. "How on earth did he find this place? I kept the address and phone number private." Said Ken to Ace. "He found out somehow. He was hired by your uncle to bring you back to his place. I told him to leave on his own or I will put him into jail. He got angry and he left. I will keep an eye out on him. I can force him to leave town." Said Ace to Ken. "Good, I also called my lawyer too he can deal with him. I sure don't want to go back there." Said Ken to Ace and Mark. "I don't blame you there. If you have any more problems with him let me know." Said Ace to Ken as he leaves.

"Sometimes I wonder what my uncle is up too." Said Ken to Mark. "By the stuff you told me it won't be too good. He won't be welcome here at all. We don't treat people like that." Replies Mark. "I agree, the way he treated me and all that stuff. He never gave me the respect that I wanted."Said Ken as he put the book away. "It looks like you are a bit restless." Said Mark. "I am. Going for a walk. You can come as well." Said Ken as he gets ready. "Sure." Said Mark as he stops what he is doing and follows Ken.

(Another two months went by.)

"Jorge called while you were sleeping he wants you to go over there." Said Mark as he cleans up. "OK, I will be heading over there." Said Ken as he gets ready to leave. It takes him awhile to get there. Once he is there he knocks on the door. Jorge opens the door and let's Ken inside. "Glad you made it over Ken. Let sit somewhere. It must be hard standing." Said Jorge to Ken. "It is." Said Ken as he follows Jorge. Jorge leads him to a library and Ken sits down. "I was surprised that you got abducted awhile back. How does it feel?" Jorge asks Ken. "Weird, but I won’t change it at all. I don't remember what they did to me nor I want to." Said Ken to Jorge.

Jorge smiles at this. "No one does.  How far are you?" Jorge asks Ken. Ken tells him. "Dr. Ian is a good doctor he has help the others as well. You look bigger than the other males that got abducted." Said Jorge. "Could be. It feel weird I feel someone both sides at once. Later today I have a check up at the hospital. He might be able to tell." Said Ken to Jorge. "He might, is he going to knock you out?" Jorge asks Ken. "Yes, I have no idea if is the same one I had before or a different one." Said Ken to Jorge. They talk for awhile until Ken notices the time. "My appointment is at three o'clock." Said Ken to Jorge. "I will drive you; it will be easier for you." Said Jorge to Ken as he leads him to his car.

(At the hospital)

Ken talks to the lady at the desk. “He will be here shortly.” She said as she pages him in a few minutes Dr. Ian is there. “Follow me.” Said Dr. Ian to Ken and Jorge. He leads them into a room. Before you sit down I am going to measure you.” Said Dr. Ian as he gets a measuring tape. Ken takes off his shirt as Dr. Ian measures him. Jorge helps Ken onto the table. “I am not going to put in the coma cause of the size you are. I am going to give you a light dose of sedative." Said Dr. Ian.  “OK, when do you want to do it?” Ken asks him. “Now, I have the room ready.” Said Dr. Ian as he and Jorge help Ken up.

Dr. Ian leads them into the room. Ken puts on the gown and lies down on the bed. “How fast does it work?” Ken asks Dr. Ian as he watches him work. “Pretty fast. I will use the relax elixirs first then I will use the sedative.” Said Dr. Ian as he gives Ken the needle. Dr Ian watches and sees Ken in a relax state. “I am giving you the sedative now. It will work fast.” Said Dr. Ian as he gives Ken the needle. Two minutes later Ken is asleep.  “How long will it take?” Jorge asks Dr. Ian. “Not long.” He replies as he wheels Ken out of the room

(Next Day.)

“How do you feel Ken?” Jorge asks Ken. “Good, tired of lying down thou.” Said Ken. Dr. Ian enters the room. “I am going to check you over and you are free to go. I want you to take it easy for now on. If you are in any kind of pain come in.” Said Dr. Ian to Ken “OK, will do.” Said Ken. Few minutes later Dr. Ian is done. He and Jorge help Ken up. They leave on the way Ken and Jorge talks until he gets to Ken’s home. “Thanks for coming with me and driving me home.” Said Ken to Jorge. “No problem, I better head out. Please keep me inform as well.” Said Jorge to Ken. “I will.” Said Ken as Jorge drives off.

Mark sees him and comes out. “How was your exam went?” Marks ask Ken as they walk toward the house. “Good. Dr. Ian has no idea why I am so big. We need to wait and see.” Said Ken as he tells Mark everything he found out. “At least you are healthy and the baby as well.” Said Mark as they enter the house. “I agree I have an idea that I want to do.” Said Ken as he tells Mark his idea. “I love the idea, raise and sell horse and let the retire ones live here as well. I am sure the people who has the retire race horses will love them here instead of killing them. One question do you know anything about horses?” Mark asks Ken.

“Yes, one thing I did like that my uncle did was to learn about horses and I even took riding lessons as well.” Said Ken. Mark smiles at this. “This place is big enough for them. There is a barn here as well. We can start get this place ready. I know you are supposed to take it easy. We can make fliers explain what we are doing. They can visit their horses as well if they want.” Said Mark. “I hope it works.” Said Ken as he sits down. “I am sure it will. I will help as well. I know a vet that will help as well.” Said Mark. Ken smiles at this. “I am going to lay down for a bit.” Said Ken. “OK, you look like you are beat.” Said Mark as he watches Ken leave.

(A month went by.)

“Are you in pain?” Mark asks Ken. “No, walking is getting a bit hard now.” Said Ken as he waddles in and sits down. “I can believe that. I am going out for supplies I will see if the hospital can lend you a wheel chair.” Said Mark. “Good idea. It will be easier for me to get around until I have my baby.” Said Ken as Mark leaves.

(Later.)

Ken sees Mark entering the house with the chair. “Dr. Ian wants you to use this when you go out. He still wants you to walk as well. He doesn’t want you to get stiff as well.” Said Mark to Ken. “OK, how did you make out with the supplies?” Ken asks Him “Good, I also talked to the vet as well and people at the race track. They loved the idea that you have. They wanted something like this for a long time. They will talk to the owners about it and let us know.” Said Mark to Ken, Ken smiles at this.

“I hope the owners will like the idea. Killing them isn’t an answer.” Said Ken to Mark. “I agree they can live here.” Said Mark as he makes lunch for them. The phone starts to ring. Mark went to answer it. He talks for awhile then he hangs up. “Good news?” Ken asks Mark. “Yes, that was the race track manger and it is a go for us. The owners love the idea about us having the retired horses. They want to inspect the place as well.” Said Mark to Ken. “That is fine; I would do the same thing as well. You might have to show them.” Said Ken. “Yes, you still can meet them. They are coming this afternoon.” Said Mark.

(Later in the afternoon.)

The doorbell went Mark went to answer it. He brings them in. Mark introduces them to Ken. “We are happy that you and Mark are doing this. We don’t like what we been doing in the past.” Said Don to Ken. “You’re welcome, it will nice to see them around longer as well.” Said Ken. “I will show you around the place where we are going to keep the horses.” Said Mark as he leads them where the field is. Few minutes later they return. “It is a great place for them and there is room enough for the horses.” Said Don. Ken smiles at this as they shake hands.

(Another three months went by.)

Mark sees Ken entering the living room. “Are you in some pain?”Mark asks Ken. “Yes, I am also having hard time breathing as well.” Replies Ken as he sits down. “Stay there I am going to call Dr. Ian.” Said Mark as he calls the hospital. Few minutes later Dr. Ian is there. “Are you in pain?” Dr. Ian asks Ken. “Yes I am.” Replies Ken to Dr. Ian. Dr. Ian checks Ken over. “You must have bed rest until your due date. I want you in the hospital for it.” Said Dr. Ian as he calls for an ambulance.  Few minutes later Ken is at the hospital. “This will be a long time in bed.” Said Ken as he gets into bed. “I agree, it will be easier to monitor you here than at your home.” Said Dr. Ian to Ken.
