 Chapter 6

"They sure love the attention." Said Quinn as he plays with them. "They sure do." Replies Ken as he watches them. "I hope Jim won't find out about them. I am sure he will do something to them." Said Helda to Ken. "I won't let him near them. He isn't allowed at this house at all." Replies Ken as he tells them about the other private eye that been hanging around. "He won't give up." Said Helda to Ken. "I know He doesn't want me to what I am interested in only his." Replies Ken.

"They have to go thru my lawyer. He knows not to give out any information about me or which house I own." Said Ken.  Ken notices his sons have fallen asleep. "We will help you bring them to their beds." Said Quinn as he gets up. "Thanks." Said Ken as he hands one to Mark as they bring them back to their cribs. Few minutes they return to the living room. "How was being pregnant?" Helda asks Ken. "It was weird. I have respect for woman now." Replies Ken. "Will do you do it again?"Quinn asks Ken. "Yes, when my sons are a bit older. One thing I didn't like is the morning sickness." Said Ken. Helda smiles at this. Quinn looks confused. Helda explains what they meant.  "I am sure they will love to have siblings." Said Helda to Ken. Ken nods his head in agreement.  "This town is peaceful not like the cities that I have been." Said Quinn as he sits back down. "I agree.  Do you want to move here?" Helda asks Quinn. "Yes, I love this town." Said Quinn.  Ken smiles at this. "I felt the same way when I saw it as well." Replies Ken.

(Next day.)

"It was a surprise that my mom has a twin sister." Said Ken as he feeds one of his sons. "I agree. She looks like her. I am sure they are identical twins." Replies Mark as he helps Ken with his sons. "I know I want them in my son's lives. Quinn sure loves them already." Said Ken as he heads upstairs to put his son back.  After a few hours Ken and Mark went and tend to the horses. "I am sure we will get some little ones one day." Said Ken as they head back to the house. "I agree. Two are trying." Replies Mark as they enter the house. "I need to do some errands; will you be OK with my sons?" Ken asks Mark.  "Yes I can. I am glad they don't wake up at the same time." Said Mark as Ken gets ready to head out. While Ken was out the door went.  Mark looks thru the window and sees the private eye is there again. Mark refuses to open the door and he calls Ace. "That same private eye is at the door again. This is starting to be a pain now." Said Mark to Ace. "OK, I will be right over." Said Ace as Mark hangs up. Few minutes later Mark hears a noise outside and he went to the window. He watches Ace and the private eye fighting. Ace arrests the private eye and takes him to the car. He returns to Mark. "He can't take the answer no. I am putting him in jail for awhile then I am going to drop him off the airport and make sure he leaves this town for good." Said Ace as he walks back to the car.

(Three hours later.)

Mark looks at the time. "Ken should be back by now." Thought Mark as he looks at the clock. He hears one of the boys crying. He goes upstairs and looks after them. On the way down he hears the phone ringing. He answers it, he talks for awhile then he hangs up.  He is shocked what he heard on the phone. He calls Helda, he talks to her for awhile then he hangs up. He starts walking back and forth waiting for Helda to arrive. Two minutes later Helda and Quinn are there. "We will look after them. Please keep us inform." Said Helda as Mark tells her what he knows. "Will do.  Thanks again." Said Mark as he leaves.

(At the hospital.)

Mark sees Ace standing talking to a doctor. "What happen?" Mark asks Ace as he gets there. "There was a big accident outside of town. I am not too sure how it happens. The driver didn't make it. Ken survived the crash." Replies Ace to Mark. "Ken has some really bad injury." Said the Doctor to Mark. Mark is shock to hear this. "Can I see him?" Mark asks the doctor. "For a bit. Please follow me." Said the doctor as he leads Ace and Mark to Ken's room. They enter. Mark is shock to see Ken like this. "He is awake; we need to put him into an elixirs coma to help him recover. He might need an operation as well." Said the Doctor to Mark. Mark nods his head in agreement. "Ken can you hear me?" Mark asks Ken. Ken opens his eyes and looks at Mark. "You will pull thru this. I know you can. Helda, Quinn and I will look after your sons."Said Mark to Ken. Ken tries to talk but he couldn't. The doctor tells Ken what he needs to do. Ken just looks at him and he tries to nod his head in understanding. "When are you going to put him under?" Mark asks the doctor.  "Now, the sooner the better. Once he is out we can check him over and see what needs to be done." Said the doctor as he works on Ken. Mark and Ace watches as Ken goes under. The doctor puts a tube down Ken's throat so the machine can work.

"How long will he be in this coma?" Mark asks the Doctor. "Hard to say, depends what we find out his injury are." Replies the doctor. "I still wonder what happen." Said Ace. "Ken does, I am sure when he is better he will tell us." Said Mark as he looks at Ken. "You can't do much here. I will keep you inform how he is doing." Said the doctor to Mark. Mark nods his head in agreement and he leaves with Ace. On the way out of the hospital "Do you think Ken was been watched without knowing it?" Mark asks Ace. "You could be right. I am going to question this private eye and see if he knows anything more." Said Ace as he walks to police headquarters. Mark walks back home. It doesn’t take him that long to get home. Helda sees him enter the house. "By the way on your face it isn't good." Said Helda to Mark. Mark tells them what happen to Ken.

"Why would someone want to do that for?" Said Quinn. Mark shrugged his shoulders. "I am hoping Ace can find out the information from that guy." Replies Mark. "I will stay here and help you with his sons." Said Helda to Mark. "Thanks." Replies Mark. They do stuff around the house until the phone rings. Mark went to answer it, he talks for a bit then he hangs up. Helda and Quinn came over to Mark. "That was Ace that called. He talked to the private eye and he has no idea what happened. He only job was tries to bring Ken back." Said Mark.  "I am hoping Ken know who tried to take him." Said Quinn.

(Three weeks went by.)

"I am heading to the hospital to visit Ken for awhile." Said Mark as he gets on his coat and leaves. He walks to the hospital; he enters and heads toward Ken's room. He enters and he sits down and he talks to him about his sons and what is happening in the town. The doctor enters the room.  "How is he doing?" Mark asks the doctor. He tells him how the operation and how he is doing.  "How long is he will be in the coma?" Mark asks the doctor. "Probably tomorrow." replies the doctor.  The doctor explains what is going to happen tomorrow. "Will he need some therapy?"Mark asks the doctor. "Probadly. Once he is awake and strong enough then I will make a call for it." Said the Doctor.

(Next day.)

The Doctor sees Mark enter the room. "He was moving a bit during the night." Said the Doctor to Mark as he sits down. "Do you think he will come around today?" Mark asks the Doctor. "I think so. He will have to stay here until he is stronger." Replies the Doctor to Mark. Mark talks to Ken telling how his sons are and what been happening in the town. Few hours later Ken is awake but in a daze. "Don't try to talk yet Ken, take it easy and sleep for awhile." Said the Doctor as Ken goes back to sleep.  The Doctor checks him over before he leaves. Mark heads home to let Helda and Quinn know how Ken is doing.

Mark enters the house Helda sees him enter. Mark tells them how Ken is doing. "It will take awhile before they know if he needs therapy or not." Finishes Mark. "I am glad he is awake. I have a funny feeling it could be Jim doing this." Said Helda. "Hard to say, I am sure Ken will let us know when he is stronger." replies Mark.

(A week went by.)

"Mark I am heading over to the hospital to check on Ken." Said Helda as she gets ready. "OK, I need to tend to the horses." Replies Mark as he watches Helda leave. It doesn't take that long to get there. The Doctor sees her. "Please follow me." The Doctor said to Helda as he leads her to Ken's room. "He doesn't need the therapy. He will be stiff for awhile he needs to get some exercise to loosen him up." Said the Doctor. "That is good." Replies Helda as they enter the room. Ken sees them enter. "How are you doing?" Helda asks Ken. "Good." replies Ken. Helda smiles as the Doctor explains what he needs to do. "I understand." Replies Ken. A nurse brings clothes for Ken. He gets them from the nurse and walks to the bathroom to change.  "Riding horse will help him as well." Said the Doctor to Helda. "Ok, He will enjoy that." Said Helda as Ken arrives back. After a few minutes they are back at Ken's place.  "Glad to be home." Said Ken as he sits down.
