Magical Ties

" they have been asleep a few hours now the first two hours they were crying almost continually. Charlie was crying so bad I almost called you. I am curious about something. Yona was concerned over money she received from the Mayor. Do you think whe she wakes,that she will remember if she signed anything from him ? " Moll explains how the spell works. 

" She will remember everything it will be as if she lived it. She won"t wake up till she asks for help in her dream. That is what makes it so dangerous. She could sleep a few hours to a few days . I am hoping it will be just a nights rest. It will depend on how stubborn she is. You know now that you mention it we could do a little prompting just like if she were under hypnosis. Let"s try and see if it works . Then that way we can let him know before he leaves in a few days." They go to sit beside Charlie . Moll puts herself into a trance so that she can enter her dream. Just like she did with Inola. Once in the dream she sees Charlie at the hospital she is waiting to be interviewed for a job. Moll sighs with relief since she was already working here at that time. No need for worry of explanations later. Charlie smiles at her as she is waiting for her interview. Moll sits beside her and introduces herself to strike up a conversation. 

"Are you Remi"s mom ,Hi I am one of Remi"s doctors. How is she doing?" Charlie shakes her hand. 

"I"m not sure she hasn"t spoken since the attack and her fathers death. " she looks at her hands. Moll takes them it so sad to see her like this. It"s not just because they are family either she looks totally haggard. 

"I"m sorry to hear about the Sheriff my condolences to you and your family. May I ask you something ?" Charlie answers right away 

"of course anything. Is there some wrong with Remi besides not speaking?" 

Moll shakes her head

"Oh no nothing like that. I saw the Mayor here a lot when your husband was here before his death. He always had some papers with him. Did he give you anything to sign?" She holds her breath hoping that she will answer and not think she is to nosy. 

"Truthfully I don"t know I mean the night they had me sign a bunch of papers for organ donation. He was here. I remember  he b.u.mped the Dr and the papers went everywhere. I just signed what they asked. He did send someone from Human Resources to my house to have some papers signed . Then I just signed what they told me to . I was so out of it I don"t know what I signed during that time." Moll takes her hand in a comforting way. She decides to give her some advice. 

"You know your family stood by you every second during these last few months. They love you a lot . Don"t shut them , out talk to them and don"t be afraid to ask for help. They are a great family and be kind to Remi she is hurting a lot." With that she turns to go back to the present. When coming out of the trance she grabs Inola"s hand and tells him to call Yona now.Inola does as she asks and calls his nephew. 

he tells him they found something out and he is needed at the apartment immediately. Yona leaves Marshal"s place and calls Jonathan to meet him at Remi"s apartment giving him the address. They both arrive within minutes of each other. 

Moll begins to explain. 

"I remembered a conversation I had with Charlie right after her husband died. The Mayor was in the room when they had her sign the papers for organ donation. Now that is just an authorization since he was listed as a donor. Basically a few initials and a signature. He knocked the papers from his hands and she just signed what was given to her. Also instead of her going to the Human Resources department they came to the house. She said he sent them. What if he added the forms that you have in with those and because she was not able to comprehend anything because of grief. She told me she just signed whatever they told her. " Jonathan thinks a minute and says. 

"That is feesable that way the signature is hers even if she doesn"t know what she is signing.  The fact that he made an exception for her not to have to come to the station or courthouse. Can be argued that what she thought was being kind was actually him making sure she signed what he needed her to without suspicion. With this information I can have any evidence he presents out of court. All I will need to do is get a few statements from the staff at the hospital as to her state of mind at the time . I can get a few statements from funeral goers and family as well. Yona I swear you and your entire family should go into detective work you make my job easy. " Jonathan shakes their hands and thanks them for the information. 

Yona stays behind to talk to the others for a few moments. 

"How is it going are they ok ? I don"t want Remi to worry about them. " Inola slaps his nephew on the back playfully. 

"they are fine let the others know that we have an announcement when we get home that everyone needs to be up." Yona grind and waves bye. Maureen turns to them and asks. 

" So are you having twin or just one child. Because the lord seems to want everyone to be blessed double here lately. " Inola looks at her and crosses his arms in agitation. 

"Hmm couldn"t you have let us tell you at least did you need to spoil it." 

Moll laughs at the two of them squabbling it so nice being in a big family . Moll and Inola leave and Maureen goes in to check on Thomas and Charlie. 

Charlie had hoped that she would get the job at the hospital but the hours were not what she could do. If she took the job she would not have a singer time over lap with the kids. Right now they need a parent presence in their life. She goes to see John to ask him for advice. 

"Hey bro I don"t know what to do. The job at the hospital is not going to work out. I literally would only see the kids one day a month. I would get home after they leave for school and leave for work before they get home. I would have two days off but still be on call. I don"t know what I"m going to do. " 

"What about selling the house and getting something smaller and cheaper? " she shakes her head no 

"I can"t ask them to give up more than they already have." They hear a knock on the office door it"s Remi she comes in and hands her mom a picture . It"s a sonogram picture, Remi hands her uncle a letter. He reads it for her. 

"Mom and uncle John im sorry. When I went to get my st.i.tches out , the Dr had me have a sonogram. It turns out that when I was attacked I also became pregnant from the attack. They asked me if I want an abortion but it"s alive how can I. I don"t know if I will be able to keep it when it is born. I just can"t bring myself to kill it. " John hugs Remi and tells her it will be ok. They can find someone to adopt the baby. Charlie flies mad and hits her. 

"I have enough to worry about now I have to worry about a child. When is this nightmare going to be over." She slams out of the office . She heads to the nearest bar and gets totally wasted. She is in such a state that the owner calls John to come get her around two in the morning. When he finally gets her home Thomas is waiting. She starts yelling at him about what a s.l.u.t his sister is trying to blame the attack for being pregnant. As if she hadn"t been asked about the rumors. John sends , Thomas to his room while her gets his sister tucked into bed. Once she is pa.s.sed out cold he kneels beside her bed and prays for G.o.d to send a miracle to save his sister. As he is leaving Thomas asks him if it"s true that his sister is pregnant. John tells him yes. He hits the wall with his fist as he walks back to his room. John leaves hoping that everything will be ok. Thank goodness Remi stayed the night at Aisling"s . 

Thomas was told when Remi was gone for three months that she had gone to their Uncke Steve"s home . That she was being punished. When the truth was she was in the hospital. While she was gone his mom switched her hours at her job to night shift. The truth was that she quit so she could stay at night with Remi. Charlie felt that Thomas was to young to understand about rape and that level of violence. She was worried because he was always so protective of his sister that he would try to find who did this. Then she could possibly lose him. So she lied and told him she sent her away as punishment for something.
