Step 4 by Emma

It was a hard night for Jason Goodearl and his mother Karen. It had been exactly five years since their father and husband Paul had died. Eversince Paul past away everything went downhill. Jason has been getting into a lot of trouble at school lately and Karen has been very lonely and desperate for a long time to have another man in her life. Life has been very dark for the Goodearls in Barkerville.

The next day Jason got out of bed tired and nervous. Today was the day of the first 15's rugby final. Jason was playing first five and they were facing the top team in Australia. He checked the time and realized he had slept in and was already five minutes late. He chucked on his rugby gear grabbed some toast, then sprinted out of the door. He jumped in his car and drove rapidly down the road. He was thinking what he was going to say to his coach. He then started to adjust the radio and did not realize he was going 50km over the speed limit. He started to sing loudly, and then suddenly realized that he was driving ofcourse then... BANG!

Karen rushed into hospital."How is he?" "His right arm and his left leg are broken. He's going to be alright. We'll leave him here over night and you should be able to pick him up tomorrow around 11am." "Can I see him?" "Not at the moment he's sleeping.You probably won't be able to see him until tomorrow." "Ok thank you."

When Karen got home she sat on the sofa and sighed. "What am I supposed to do?" She thought to herself. The bills were piling up to her shoulders, her son had just been in a car crash, and she was working long hours. It was a very stressful time.

The next morning Karen got out of bed and realized it was already 10.30! She swore out loud and sprinted down to the bus stop, but had to wait for 20 minutes before the bus came. At about 11.20 she arrived at the hospital. She dashed inside and saw Jason sitting down talking to Dr.Baxter. "Here we are Jason.Your mothers here." "Sorry I'm late honey, I got caught up in some traffic." "About time," replied Jason and stormed off outside. Karen and Dr.Baxter followed him. "Wheres my car!" Jason exclaimed. "Sorry your car and your lisence was taken off you by the police. They said its for your own good," said Dr.Baxter. "They can't do that can they?" By this time Jason was furious. "Actually they can.With the kind of driving you were doing, you're lucky you weren't locked up." "How are supposed to get home now?" "We'll just have to catch the bus," sighed Karen. "I can give you a lift if you want," said Dr.Baxter. "Are you sure?" asked Karen. "Yeah no problem, I'm only working half-day today anyway." "Thank you so much."

The next day when Jason came home from school, he found his mother dressed up nicely sitting at the table. "Hey honey how was your day?" Karen seem to be in a extra good mood. "Um alright I guess... What are you all dressed up for?" "I have a date," she said smiling. "With who?" "Dean," she said, sounding as if she was a 5 year old getting a christmas present for the first time. "Who's Dean?" "Your doctor Jason, remember? Dean Baxter. After he gave us a ride home he asked me out to dinner!" Jason was shocked. His mum was going out with his doctor? He found this hard to believe but didn't really care much. "Cool," Jason replied and walked off to his room.

A few months past and finally Jason started to walk normally again. He picked up playing rugby again as well. Karen still went out with Dr. Baxter. Dr. Baxter also tutored Jason in his subjects 3 times a week after school so his grades were going up. Everything seemed to be going well.

One day, Dean, Karen and Jason decided to go out for lunch together. They went to the lake-side Italian restraunt. It was the most expensive restaurant in Barkerville. When they got there, Jason realised that every thing was set out nicely with beutiful white table cloths with a rose on every table. The waitor accompanied them to the table right on the water front. "Dean this is beautiful,"said Karen. "So are you,"replied Dean

"Oh my gosh," whispered Jason in awe. The main course had arrived, and Karen realized that Dean had gotten down on his knee and had pulled out a little red box. He opened the box.. "Karen, will you marry me?" This came to a shock to Karen,they have only been dating for 8 months. But she realized that this was the man that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. And so she replied "Yes, of course!" She gave him a big hug and everyone started smiling and clapping. Even Jason applauded, happy for his mother.

On November 24th Karen Goodearl and Dean Baxter got married in Fiji on a hot sunny day. That day was the happiest day for Karen and Jason, since Paul had died. The after party was great, with all kinds of colourful foods and drinks. The three of them also had a awsome time in Fiji for the rest of the week. 3 years past and Karen and Dean had a child named Paul Goodearl-Baxter. Jason was proud to have a half brother, and he took good care of him and taught him many things as Paul grew up. The four of them moved to Miami together. Jason quit rugby and started training as a chef, and later started to run his own restaurant. Paul started to swim when he turned three, and at the age of seventeen he was already a olympic gold medalist for nine events. As for Karen and Dean, they're still married and have retired. At the moment they are enjoying a nice glass of wine sitting on their deck at their eight million dollar beach house.
