Chapter 2

"Yes of course Mr Caulfield. I'll do anything to help. Where is she?" Maggie asked.

Tiffany went to get Jennifer and brought her to Maggie. Maggie was astonished seeing such an adorable little baby girl. She was very young and so cute she wanted to pinch those cute little cheeks.

"What a pretty baby!" Maggie exclaimed. "I'll definitely do it. Let's save this innocent little life."

Tiffany was so touched by Maggie's reaction she felt tears pricking in her eyes. She was glad they shared the feelings towards this little girl. Jennifer stood there smiling.

Paul promised to take care of the Jennifer matter privately and the three of them agreed she looked 3 and half years or so. The girl was pretty shy and didn't talk much. She would mostly nod or shake her head. Adrian enjoyed playing with her because he was a cheerful child who talked a lot. He did the talking for both himself and his little "Teddy'. He would share her Zach now and then but she was his friend and Zach had to know that.

Paul did as promised. He called in a favor with a friend from home affairs and had Jennifer registered as Margaret's daughter. The workers were all young people with no families of their own none of them had children. Having a little girl in the compounds was welcomed by everybody. All the young women loved playing her when Margaret was busy. Little Jennifer was opening up and she would go to the fields to watch the women working when Adrian went to school.

One day she was sitting by the fence watching the workers she saw the little dog was barking behind a tractor and she wanted to save it. Jennifer ran into the field and ran after the little dog. When the workers saw her it was too late the tractor driver had reversed and ran her over. Adrian who was calling Jennifer saw the whole thing.

He stood there immobilized with eyes wide open and tears streaming down the sides of his face. He ran back to the house screaming hysterically and Tiffany came running downstairs when she heard him. He was on the floor crying very hard and when Tiffany tried to find out what happened he became deranged. While she was struggling with Adrian Maggie came in crying helplessly.

Jennifer had been ran over by the tractor and she was not breathing. Tiffany felt like she was hit by a bus. The whole body stopped working. What was happening. She had to pull herself together and help the kids because Paul was in town. She grabbed the car keys and dragged the deranged Adrian with her while the workers brought Jennifer and they rushed to the hospital.

She left strict orders for them to tell Paul what happened and where they were as soon as he came home. Maggie had to attend to Jennifer while Tiffany had to attend to Adrian. The doctors were able to calm him down and gave him a sedative. He fell asleep and Tiffany went to check on Jennifer just as Paul arrived. Jennifer suffered a few broken bones but she was alive. She was awake when Paul and Tiffany went in to see her.

Maggie was sitting next to her bed and chasing with her. Paul and Tiffany were relieved to see her awake and chatting with Maggie. The doctor called Paul aside and he followed him.

"Your son is in a very bad state we might need to keep him for a while. He is still very shaken. He will need to go to therapy I can recommend someone if you'd like." He told Paul.

"Apparently he was there when the accident occurred. Maybe seeing Jennifer might help him?" Paul suggested. "We appreciate your help doc. We'll contact the therapist."

"We'll see how he responds to seeing her and take it from there. Maybe you can chat with him for a bit?" the doctor had a call to take and he walked away.

Paul went into Adrian's room and he was still sleeping. Paul's parents were on the way to visit Adrian in hospital. He wondered how Adrian would be when he woke up. He was worried about him. Tiffany came back to see how he was doing.

"he's still sleeping and the doc says he will need a shrink after this ordeal." Paul said.

"Oh my poor baby." Tiffany ran a hand over Adrian face. "He witnessed something horrible. I think he'll be okay when he finds out Teddy is okay."

Paul's parents got there before Adrian woke up and the doctor told the family Adrian is awake. He just needs to open his eyes. They tried talking g to him and even told him Teddy is okay she is alive. When he finally woke up he was still and wouldn't say anything. When Paul tried telling that Teddy is okay Adrian simply said okay and told them he is never going back to the farm again. He wanted to live with his grandparents away from that farm.

As much as it pained his parents they let him leave and he stayed in the city with his grandparents. Adrian was never the same cheerful little bright boy. He became very distant an didn't make any friends. He was very bright in school and got straight A's but he was cold towards other kids at school especially girls. He never visited the farm again and his parents and Zach visited him often in the city. He forgot all about Teddy and the incident but he knew he couldn't go to the farm again.

Adrian studied and became a neurosurgeon. He was one of the best in his field and put his all in everything he did. His colleagues all respected him but he was always cold towards others especially if they got too friendly with him.

Life at the farm was quiet and content. Teddy loved her growing up in the farm as she was everybody's little sweetheart. After the accident everybody took special care of her till she was healed. Everybody adored her as she was the only girl in the farm. She wanted to learn everything from everybody and she loved to read. She wondered what happened to Adrian but she was too scared to ask.
