Why do bad things happen to good People?

Sanda and Reid have been married for 6 months, and Sanda was 3 months pregnant, she was having a small dinner party tonight for Reid, and a few of their friends. It was Reid's Birthday, and she invited, Jacob, Katie, Henry, Chris, Luke, Natalie, Ethan, Bob, and Kim, and John Dixon over. Reid didn't know they all were coming he just knew Katie and Jacob were coming for cake after dinner. Sanda went all out but she forgot one thing she needed milk for anyone wanting coffee or tea. She called Reid up, and asked him to pick up some milk, and he said he would he was leaving work shortly. Sanda had everything set up, she changed, and the table set she was just waiting for everyone to arrive. Dinner was in the oven it would be ready in 2 hours. She wanted everyone to have a drink, and relax before dinner. She was happy Katie, Chris, Henry and Jacob arrived first. It wasn't much longer Luke, Natalie, and Ethan showed up, and after that Kim, and Bob, and than John. They all were having their drinks Sanda was getting nervous looking at her watch. Everyone was fussing over Tegan, and he was loving the attention he would go from person to person. Katie walked over to Sanda, and asked her where Reid was?

"I called his cell he isn't answering, and I called the Hospital they said he left over 40 minutes ago. I asked him to pick up milk he shouldn't be this long"

"Don't worry he probably got held up in traffic or something"

"I guess I can't believe I forgot milk when I went shopping"

"Give yourself a break girl you put all this together everything is amazing, and that cake is beautiful"

"I had it especially made it is his favourite"

Bob walked over, "Everything is great Sanda where is Reid"

"Getting milk he will be here shortly"

"Ok".

Sanda was getting more, and more nervous, but she heard the doorbell she ran over thinking he forgot his keys. She opened the door seeing Jack Snyder, and Margo Hughes, and her heart stopped. She knew something was wrong Katie walked over, and saw Margo, and asked her what was wrong.

"I have some bad news, Reid is at the hospital, there was a robbery at the Supermarket he went to, and he was shot trying to save the teller"

Sanda froze she heard what Margo said but it wasn't registering, and she wanted to block out what she was saying.

"Reid is coming home it is his Birthday all his friends are here you are wrong"

"Sanda you need to come to the hospital, he is alive but in serious condition"

"Oh my God this is my fault"

Katie held on to Sanda, and whispered, "This is not your fault Reid needs us to be strong. He will be OK, and you can't freak out right now or I will lose it"

"Katie I'm scared"

"We need to go to Reid right now". Luke ran over grabbing Sanda's coat, and the others said they would lock up. Sanda felt like she couldn't breath she couldn't lose Reid. She took Katie's hand, and Luke wrapped his arm around her. Bob and John left to go to the hospital with Chris and they left the others said they would stay at Sanda's place waiting for news.

[Sanda]

Chapter 2

Sanda , Luke and Katie are in Margo's, and Jack car driving over to the hospital. Katie reaches over, and touches Sanda's hand.

"Sanda he will be OK , I just know it"

"Why did I forget the stupid milk"?

"What happened is not your fault Sanda" Luke said but Sanda felt horrible inside she felt like she was in some horrible dream. She was trying to be brave but she was thinking the worst, and she wanted to scream, and make it all go away. They got to the Hospital, and she froze, and it took Katie, and Luke to get her to get out of the car. They walk into the Emergency doors, and she looked around seeing all the people, and the noise of people rushing around. She felt dizzy she hadn't eaten most of the day, and she knew Reid would be angry about that. She walked up to the desk but Katie spoke for her, and the Nurse stood up, and said she would take them down the hall to a family waiting room. Sanda grabbed the Nurse's arm asking how Reid was?

"Mrs. Oliver they rushed Reid into the operating room, we don't know how the surgery is going but no news is good news".

They walked to the family waiting room , and went inside. Sanda sat down, and Luke and Katie sat beside them. Margo, and Jack sat across from them, they also wanted to hear how Reid was. They heard from the Store Clerk how Reid was a hero he would be safe now if he didn't try to help her. She owed Reid her life, but they knew Sanda wasn't ready to hear that he was a hero she needed to hear he was going to be safe, and back home with her, and be there when their baby arrived. Margo has been there when many of family members heard their loved ones didn't make it. She prayed with all her heart that this time that wouldn't happen. She only knew Reid as one of Katie's best friends, and that he saved Chris when he brought the heart back to the hospital that saved Chris's life. She heard Reid had many different moods but overall everyone cared for Reid Oliver, and he has saved so many lives, and it would be cruel if he lost his. It was only 2 hours but it felt like more when the Doctor walked in with Bob Hughes, and John Dixon.

Sanda stood up she was shaky but she walked over to the Doctor, and asked how her husband was.

"He is still in critical condition but he came through the surgery with very little problems. The next 24 hours will be critical, and if he makes it through I think he has a fighting chance. He was shot in the stomach, but it was a blessing it missed some of his major organs. He will be sleeping for a while you could go home, and rest we would call you as soon as he wakes up"

"No I'm not leaving him can I see him"?

"Yes as soon as he is in settled he is going to the intensive Care Unit. I know when you see him it will be scary but all the machines , and tubes are necessary but I promise you he is not suffering"

"Thank you". Sanda turned and went into Katie's arms as they both cry making the others cry too.

[Sanda]

Great but sad update Jessie. I am so happy that Reid survived his surgery. I hope and pray that Reid will be ok after his surgery. I feel horrible for Sanda, Luke, Katie, Margo, and Jack waiting on news on Reid in the waiting room.

[melinda]

Chapter 3

Sanda was finally allowed to go in to see Reid, and she followed the Nurse to his bed. They only allowed one family member at a time in the Intensive Care Unit. Sanda froze she was trying to prepare herself for what Reid would look like but seeing him all hooked up, and so pale almost made her collapse. She walked over standing by the bed the Nurse told her she could talk to him but he will not respond he is heavily sedated. Sanda was afraid to touch his hand but she lifted it, and whispered.

"Reid I am here you have to come back to me, and the baby. I am so sorry I sent you to the store to get milk. Everyone is so worried, Katie, and Luke are outside, and Bob, Chris and John are going over your tests. I know you are a fighter, and I know you can fight Reid please hear me". She was so emotional, and she knew he was out but she needed him to hear how much she needs him, and loves him. She started to cry, and she tried with all her might not to but the tears came flowing out. She was still holding his hand , and she felt him squeeze her hand making her so happy.

"Reid you hear me don't you"?

He squeezed her hand again and that alone gave her hope. He was a fighter, and he would beat all odds, and come back to her.

"Reid I love you".

Sanda knew he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't open his eyes, but she knew he was hearing everything she said.

Bob walked in, and touched Sanda's shoulder as she turned to him, and said.

"Bob he squeezed my hand twice"

Bob waked over checking his vitals, and he was not so sure Reid heard anything but for Sanda's sake he hoped he did. He held Reid's other hand, and Reid did not squeeze his hand. Sanda looked exhausted, and Bob told her to go home, and get some rest"

"No I will not leave until he wakes up, and I know he is going to be ok"

"Sanda Reid would want you to take care of yourself, and the Baby. If you are not going home why don't you go to Reid's office, and have a nap on the couch"?

Sanda knew Bob was right she was exhausted , and Reid would want her to take care of herself, and the baby.

Sanda left the room part of her felt so horrible, but she was so exhausted she walked to Reid's office, and walked over to the couch , and laid down as she hugged the pillow she had bought for Reid's office. She shut her eyes saying a prayer for him, and asked God to bring him back to her. She started to drift off thinking about Reid, and for some unexplained reason she just knew everything would be ok.

To be Continued

[Sanda]

Oh my god Jessie this chapter was soo sad. Poor Sanda in this chapter holding Reid's hand amd him not waking up and talking to her. At least Reid squeezed her hand when spoke to him. Please don't let Reid die in this story and leave Sanda and Reid's unborn child fatherless. I hope and pray that Reid is going to wake up really soon and come back to Sanda and their unborn baby.

[melinda]

Chapter 4

Sanda was sleeping on Reid's couch in his office. She was dreaming, and she woke up suddenly. She was breathing heavy she had a horrible dream. She dreamed about what Reid went through at the Supermarket, and she felt so angry, and scared. How could anyone just shoot someone who was coming in to get milk? She got up, and walked over to his desk, and sat down picking up the phone she wanted to call her Parents. She dialed their number as she wiped tears from her cheek. She wanted to be brave but she already felt the tears coming.

"Hello"

"Dad"

"Angel is everything ok"?

"No Dad something horrible happened, and I am so scared"

"What is wrong are you ok"?

"Yes it is Reid he was shot he was at a Supermarket getting some milk. It is my fault why did I ask him to go get lousy milk."?

"It is not your fault but how is Reid"?

"He had surgery he is in Intensive Care. He is in serious condition Dad he has to be ok"

"Angel I am going to call the airport, and Mom, and I will be there tomorrow morning."

"Dad I am so scared"

"I know we will be there soon is someone with you"?

"Not right now but I have friends here. I need you, and Mom so I am glad you are coming"

"You take care because I know Reid will get better, and he will want you to take care of yourself and the baby"

"I know Dad I love you"

"I love you too, and I know your Mom loves you. She is taking a nap, but I will call you on your cell phone to let you know what flight we will be on"

"Ok I can pick you up"

"No Angel you stay with Reid, we will come to the hospital"

"Ok thank you"

"Bye remember get rest, and eat Reid will need you healthy when he gets home."

Sanda said she understand she hung up, and felt a little better knowing her parents would be here tomorrow.

Sanda heard a knock at Reid's door she told whoever it was to come in. The door opened, and Katie came in with Jacob. Sanda walked over, and Sanda and Katie started to cry as Jacob wrapped his arms around them making them hug him too.

[Sanda]

Sad update Jessie. I feel horrible for Sanda, Katie, and Jacob because Reid got hurt going to the supermarket to get milk. I am so glad that I called my parents and told them about what happened to Reid. I am glad that my dad is going to be making plane reservations and that my parents are coming to be with me, Tegan, Katie, Jacob, and Reid while he gets better. I just hope and pray that Reid is going to be ok in this story. Please don't let Reid die in this story. I don't want me and Tegan to be raising mine and Reid's baby alone like Katie had to raise her and Brad's baby without Brad. This chapter made me sad tonight. I am glad that Jacob and Katie are with Sanda and her and Reid's unborn child until Sanda's parents arrive. You should have my mom call me after she wakes up from her nap. I feel horrible for my dad having to tell my mom about Reid's accident. I hope you update this story again soon.

Chapter 5

Katie, Jacob, and Sanda sit on Reid's couch as they all hold on to each other. Sanda told them her Parents would be here tomorrow. Katie told Sanda she would get Henry to pick them up at the airport.

"Katie I can't lose Reid"

"You know Reid will never leave you, I know he will be ok"

Jacob smiled, "He is going to coach my Baseball games so he has to be ok Aunt Sanda"

"Oh he loves you Jacob and he was so happy he is going to have a chance to coach your baseball Games"

Katie smiled, "Sanda I told Henry to get us something to eat. You know Reid would be upset if we didn't take care of you, and Tegan and the baby while you are waiting for him to get out of this hospital"

"Why would someone hurt Reid he just wanted to get milk for God sake"

"Things happen but Reid being the wonderful man he is he wanted to help someone. I know he will be ok, and he will be home with you and Tegan soon."

"I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you here with me Katie"

Katie hugged Sanda and Jacob whispered, "You have me to Aunt Sanda". Sanda looked at Jacob and gave him a huge hug. She knew Reid was a fighter and he wouldn't leave her, Tegan and the baby, and all his Patients, and friends.

Henry walked into the room and smiled, "I brought Al's burgers everyone loves their burgers".

Katie got up helping Henry get the burgers and fries out of the bags. Jacob handed his Aunt Sanda a chocolate milkshake. He sat beside her as Katie gave her a burger. She didn't feel like eating but she had to for the baby, and she knew Reid would be upset if she made herself sick. She loved her friends but knowing Reid is fighting for his life scared her to death. She knew she had to Pray, and just know he would be back in her arms again real soon.

[Sanda]

Great but sad update Jessie. Oh my God Jessie this chapter made me cry. I hope and pray that Reid doesn't die in this story. I don't want Reid to leave me, Tegan, our unborn child, Jacob, Katie, Henry behind and I don't want me and Tegan to have to our baby in this story alone with our friends without Reid around. I hope you update this story again soon. This story is sort of my favorite story. I hate that Reid is in the hospital fighting for his life.
