My Life with the Walter Boys

50-year-old male, suspected stroke.

- You're his wife? - Yes.

We'll take care of him. Bay Four. You can't come back.

- Last known well time? - Unknown.

- His son found him. He thinks three hours. - Okay.

Mom, where is he?

Sweetheart, we're gonna have to wait out here, okay?

- Wait how long? - I don't know.

Cole, can you run home?

- Dad's gonna need some stuff. - I can do it.

You guys should stay here. I'll be back.

You're not coming in? It's been a while.

Maybe another time.

- Hey, guys. - Hey, Mom.

Kids.

Everyone,

can you come down here for a second?

How is he?

He's better.

When is he coming home?

Not for a little bit.

But it's been weeks.

Dr. Segil says he's through the worst of it.

Listen, I think this is something

we're all gonna be dealing with for a while. So

let's all try to get back to some version of normal.

Hey.

- Hey. - Have you seen Nathan?

- Uh, he already left. - What?

- He said he was gonna run to school. - But that's so far.

Wait, where are you going?

- Uh, Erin's picking me up. - Isaac and Lee need a ride to school.

No, they stayed at Oliver's last night.

Right.

Yeah, they have been doing that a lot lately.

- Okay. Bye, Mom. - Bye, honey.

Okay.

Benny, is your… show-and-tell today?

Yeah.

So you made that all by yourself?

Let me take a picture of you, and I will send that to your dad.

Perfect. Now, can you put that in the car and be really careful with it?

Yeah.

- Mom, have you seen my football uniform? - Yeah?

That's today?

- Yeah. - Okay. Um…

- I put it in your gym bag. - Oh.

And I will pick you up and take you there tonight.

- Okay. Thanks. - You're the best. I have your toast.

Can you get Jordan off the computer and get in the car?

- Yeah. Jordan! - Thanks.

- Okay, coming. -

Oh God. Pete Weber has Custard.

What?

He must have gotten out through a hole in the fence.

Dad usually checks the fence once a week.

- I haven't even thought-- - It's okay, Mom. I'll go take a look.

Thank you.

Oh shoot. I'm gonna be late.

Oh gosh. Okay.

Guys, you're supposed to be in the car! Can one of you just get the…

- Yeah. - Bye!

Don't you have rodeo training?

- Uh, yeah, but… - I can check.

I have a free period first thing.

Right.

Thanks.

I gotta go.

Oh. Uh…

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

Um…

Are you okay?

You've been at the hospital

every night this week.

Yeah, my mom needed a break.

And I want to be there, so…

Well, I could give you a ride to school

if… you're too tired to drive.

I have to check the fence first, but then I--

I don't know if I'm making it to school today.

Yeah, I'm going back to the hospital, so…

But you were just there.

I don't want him to be alone.

Yeah. I… I get that.

How is he?

I… I feel so bad that I… I haven't seen him.

Well, you could, uh… you could come with me.

Yeah, I… I just…

I don't like hospitals.

Yeah, yeah, I mean…

Who does?

Right. Um…

My… my parents and… and Lucy

were taken to a hospital.

- Jackie, I'm sorry. I didn't know. - No, I know.

I know. It's all right.

You sure you're okay?

Don't worry about me.

I'm good.

You know, I, um…

I meant what I said.

That night.

Yeah.

So did I.

You know that, right?

Yeah, I do.

- But-- - But we can't.

I mean, not with your… your dad

and Alex and just everything.

- Yeah. - It's just, it's not the right time.

Yeah, right.

Anyways, I… I gotta…

Yeah.

- Hey, Mom. - Hi, honey.

Did you manage to sign that paperwork I sent you?

Paperwork?

For Little Cap.

They want to start moving in the equipment today.

That's today?

Yeah.

Okay if they start on the south field?

- Oh. Oh, man. - I can ask Dad.

Oh, no. No, no, no. We don't have to worry him.

- You can tell them it's fine. - All right.

Honey, your dad and I are really grateful

for all your help with this.

It's the least I can do considering I'm the one that put him in the hospital.

What?

Well, that's not true.

Everything I put him through?

Mom.

Pushing through the plans when he didn't want to go through with them?

Siding with Richard because I wanted to be the big man?

Will,

this wasn't your fault.

Okay, I'm… I'm gonna need to hear you say that.

This wasn't your fault.

- Honey. - It wasn't my fault.

Okay.

I'm gonna let them know it's okay to get started.

Here we go, boy!

- Whoa! -

- Okay, I think that's enough for today. - Nope.

Alex.

Alex, hey. Stop.

You're hurt. You're no good to Hartford's if you're burnt out.

I'm fine.

What? No, man. You need a break.

Come on. Let's go.

Okay.

Back so soon?

Can't stay away.

These delicious Jell-O cups? Come on.

Take all the time you need.

Thank you, Trudy.

What happened to you?

Training.

Sure you're not overdoing it?

Well, now that I'm with Hartford's, I gotta step up my game.

Blake put herself on the line to help me get that sponsorship, so…

Do you really have the time for all that right now?

Hartford would give you a break, right?

- With your dad? - I don't need a break.

My dad's getting better every day.

- Are you sure you-- - Yeah. He's gonna be home soon.

Is it something else?

I'm good.

I'll see you later.

- Hey. - Hi.

Everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.

- Cool. - All good.
