Part 61
Mike Stoker ran a hand through his wet hair as he stepped out of the shower. He sighed, what was he going to do? It just seemed like the whole world was going crazy. The whole mess with Johnny and Roy that no one seemed to know for sure. Johnny getting injured, Cap's daughter dying, Something good had to happen soon. This was getting all too depressing.
He heard the door open to his bedroom, and smiled, well there was something good that happened last night. Olivia. Olivia Clemens. They had been friends for years and she had been coming over to talk to him to help him sort out his life. Now she was helping him feel some sense of security and belonging. And well then there was last night. There was no way he was going to walk like a normal person today. He chuckled to himself, as he felt two slender arms wrap around him.
Meanwhile across town, his wife Sharon was just waking up with a certain co-worker of Mike's.

"Johnny, trust me, the Doctor says it is just going to be a temporary blindness. Your eyes will have to heal first." Roy was pleading with him.
"Roy, I am just so sick of this damn hospital. It's like the gods are playing with me, torturing me, just because they can. "
"I know it feels that way Johnny, but it will be okay. I promise, now let's go take you to visit Dixie, she could use some cheering up."
As Roy wheeled Johnny into Dixie's room, they heard Dixie and Brackett discussing wedding plans.
"Hey you two aren't getting married are you?" Johnny exclaimed.
"As a matter of fact we are Johnny. It took something like this-" Brackett started.
"-Like me almost dying and being held against my will. Tough sell isn't he?" Dixie interrupted.
"Well yes, actually, I guess I can be a bit stubborn sometimes can't I? Well anyway, this lovely lady here has accepted my proposal and as soon as she is well again we are getting hitched. What do you guys think about that?" Kel Bracket gazed lovingly into Dixie's eyes.
"Hey great Doc. So who's going to be the best man?"
"Well," Dixie started, "we were thinking of Joe, but, how would you guys like to be the godfathers of my children?
"Children!?" Roy and Johnny stammered.
"Yes, I'm having twins!" Dixie exclaimed.
