The fire had been intense it was amother's instinct to go back into the blazing fire to rescue her infant daughter. Thus begins the story of Olivia Riley, with burns that covered over 95% of her body it was a miracle she even survived. Poor little Sally suffered burns as well. Both needing extensive skin grafting and multiple surgeries while Sally's recovery went quickly and smoothly. Olivia's recovery was not that easy nor fast. It took time . So much time that Timothy's parents Seamus and Lucia came in to help with Sally as well as Olivia's parents Sullivan and Tazanna. Timothy appreciated the assistance they gave. Especially with the lengthy hours that he spent at the hospital not only with his rounds in pediatrics but also spending time at his wife's side.
The doctors had induced a coma with Olivia so that she would not be able to feel all the pain from the grafting and the cosmetic surgeries that had to be performed. But still Timothy stayed vigilant waiting for his wife to awake from the coma especially after all of the bandages were removed and the healing process has completed.
Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months and months turned into years. As people were telling Timothy that maybe there was no hope of Olivia ever waking up Timothy never gave up hope. It was on Sally's Birthday that they celebrated in Olivia's hospital room that Olivia showed some movement. Excitement illuminated the room, remembering a fairy tale that was Sally's most favorite . Sally told Timothy “ Daddy Kiss her like Prince Charming” and with Love's First Kiss Olivia awoke from her golden slumber.
The room echoed with tears and laughter of joy over the awakening of Olivia Riley. That was until Olivia asked “ Who are all of you?” Crushed Sally approached her and asked “ but Mommy it's me Sally!” Olivia had a bewildered look upon her face and then replied I am so sorry....
It took several weeks for Olivia to regain not only her strength but her memories as well. When the memories finally did come back they didn't come in bits and pieces but flooded her like an overflowing river. It was another 2 months before Olivia regained all her strngth and memories and was released from Downtown Community Hospital. Then it was off to stay with Timothy's parents.
Upon their return to the Uberhood Seamus and Lucia purchased a home on the outskirts of the downtown area . It was there that they accommodated Sullivan and Tazanna as well as Timothy and Sally. With Olivia's return they had a full house. Seamus and Lucia sprung for a full out dream wedding for Timothy and Olivia . It was after the wedding that Timothy received a call from Simbin Memorial hospital stating that they needed him for a special pediatric case . So Timothy and his little family moved back to simbin until the pediatric crisis passes. Sullivan and Tazanna moved on looking for a new house somewhere not yet determined .
Thinking that what had happened to her son would make an interesting human interest story for the downtown paper Lucia wrote it up as a human interest story. It was so good that it earned her a promotion to Sports Writer. Seamus on the other hand had problems adjusting to such a quiet home . First he thought maybe returning to work would do it. While at the gym one day he befriended a stately gentleman by the name of Gavin Goldstein. Gavin was totally impressed with Seamus' background that he offered him a job within his organization. Seamus' title would be overseer and he would over see the happenings within the downtown area for the Uberhood Crime Family. Not really sure about the idea of working for the Mafia Seamus could not pass up the 1250 a day job.
Seamus learned to enjoy doing his job but still he and Lucia had an empty home. Then one evening after dinner Seamus asked Lucia “ What do you think about having another baby?” Lucia replied “ I was about to ask you the same thing!
