Ben's head was hurting again. The pain was bad today. He was able to finish the audit 28 million missing and start a new one. But the info was getting hard to concentrate on.

Josh brought in some soup and sandwiches but Ben just could not eat anything.

When he went to the restroom to splash water on his face a wave of dizziness hit and he fell hitting his head.

When Ben did not come back right away Josh went looking for him and found him on the floor.

911 was called and he road with him to the hospital. Zane was out of the office but word was left with the receptionist to notify him as soon as possible.

Doctors were taking his medical history but Josh could not answer any question. So he called Mr. Beauté. Mr. Beauté talked to the Doctor as he was rushing to the hospital.

The Doctors did a physical exam. Then a CT scans was also ordered.

Josh was beside himself. While they were waiting Matt showed up with Sally and Bella.

When the Doctor came back in he explained that Ben had an Acute sinusitis.

When Mr. Beauté asked how this happened.

The Doctor explained that sinusitis often develops when swelling, inflammation, and mucus from a cold block nasal passages. This makes it easier for bacteria to grow. Viruses are the most common cause of acute sinusitis, but bacteria, fungi, and allergies may also cause it. Ben had a bacteria sinusitis.

They would be Flushing nasal passages with warm salt water and give him antibiotics for bacterial infections.

They told them that Ben would need to flush his sinuses regularly with a Neti pot.

As for his head injury there was no concussion but it took a few stitches and he would need to come back in 10 days. He was given something for pain.

"Do you want to go home or back to my place?" Josh asked.

"You mean your place is not home?" Ben smiled.

Josh broke down in tears.

"Hey, its it's all right. It's nothing serious." Ben said pulling Josh closer.

"I thought the worst. Bella almost died of a brain clot and I did not want to go through that. Mary Ann was beside herself watching Zane." Ben sobbed.

"Well I'm fine. I should of visited the Doctor when the pain started instead of working through it."

"Don't do this again." Josh let go then quickly realized everyone was in the room. He wiped his eyes and straightened his cloths. "Let's get you home."

Babs spent the day at the dog shelter washing dogs.

"Babs can you come here for a moment?" The director of the shelter asked.

"Ok" Babs walked in to her office.

"You have done a great job this past month."

"Thank you. I enjoy the work."

"Marius is going back to school to be a vet so we have a part time opening. 24 hour a week helping out our vet."

"Really, Can I apply for it?"

"No I am offering it to you. It pays 12 dollars an hour. So 288 before taxes a week."

"Yes that is fine. Oh before I take it I need to let you know I am three months pregnant. Is that going to be a problem?"

"Do you plan on leaving after the baby is born?"

"No, I really like it here and I have a full family to help me."

"Then the job is yours."

When she got home David was sitting in a car outside her house.

"Why are you here?" She said. After her talk with Bella last night she was a little afraid of this family. But Bella assured her that Zane would do what ever needed to keep her and the baby safe.

"We need to talk please." He said as he closed the car door.

"Come in then." she unlocked the door and he followed her in.

She took a seat in a chair and he sat cross from her on the couch.

"Talk" she said.

"Did you talk to Bella?" He asked.

"Yes, last night. Your family will never get my child."

"That won't happen if you trust me. I have a plan."

"What is it?" She asked.

"Marry me." he said with a straight face.

Babs started laughing, "Your crazy. I am not afraid of your mother. Bella will protect me and MY baby."

"You know Neil's background and how powerful his father is. My mother will use that power." David said

"Is he more powerful then the Hearts?" She asked.

"No one is more powerful then the Hearts. They call the young master of the Hearts the Beast. I would love to get him to talk to my classes." He said.

Babs smiled, "So if I had Zane Heart on my side your mother could not touch me?"

"No she could not but not just anyone can meet him. I can protect you now." David said.

"I tell you this but you can not tell Bella. This weekend Zane will be asking Bella to marry him. He will be my brother-in-law. Zane and Bella have already agreed to protect me and the baby."

"I guess you really don't need me then. Babs I still hope we can see each other. I really do enjoy your company."

Bella was lost in her storybook when Zane came home.

◇◇◇♡♡♡◇◇◇ LITTLE ONE-EYE, TWO-EYES AND THREE-EYES cont.

The following morning the mother told Three-Eyes that she must go out and watch Two-Eyes, and see who brought her food, for it was certain that some one must.

So Three-Eyes told her sister that she was going to accompany her that morning to see if she took care of the goat and fed her well; but Two-Eyes saw through her design, and drove the goat again to the best feeding-place.

Then she asked her sister to sit down and she would sing to her, and Three-Eyes did so, for she was very tired with her long walk in the heat of the sun. Then Two-Eyes began to sing as before: "Are you awake, Three-Eyes?" but, instead of continuing as she should have done, "Are you asleep, Three-Eyes?" she said by mistake, "Are you asleep, Two-Eyes?" and so went on singing: "Are you awake, Three-Eyes?" "Are you asleep, Two-Eyes?" By and by Three-Eyes closed two of her eyes, and went to sleep with them; but the third eye, which was not spoken to, kept open. Three-Eyes, however, cunningly shut it too, and feigned to be asleep, while she was really watching; and soon Two-Eyes, thinking all safe, repeated the words: "Little kid, milk Table, appear!"

and as soon as she was satisfied she said the old words: "Little kid, milk Table, depart!"

Three-Eyes watched all these proceedings; and presently Two-Eyes came and awoke her, saying, "Ah, sister! you are a good watcher, but come, let us go home now."
