Just when Tad thought things couldn’t get worse, they did, Dixie up and left once again and this time she made sure he didn’t know where she was or how to contact her. Tad tried plenty of times, but he always failed.
Months later, Dixie broke the news to Tad. She was pregnant and wanted him to be there for when the baby was born, as she was in her third trimester. Tad hopped the first flight to Switzerland. His mother, Opal received a call saying that Dixie had been in car accident and that they couldn’t find her body.
As time went on and on, Tad found himself pushing people away to deal with Dixie’s death. Tad did a lot of things, uncovered secrets, blackmailed, went on secret investigations. He was all over the place. While trying to find out more about this mysterious Babe, that JR Chandler up and married he became distracted with Krystal Carey, Babe’s mother. Tad thought it was a good thing to stay close to Krystal to find out more about Babe, but the closeness turned into something more.
Then there was the baby switch, more lies, more cover-ups, jail time, mixed feelings, the whole nine. Then there was this mysterious blond, who turned out to be Dixie or so he thought. This woman led Tad to believe she was Dixie and convinced him she didn’t want anything to do with him. She changed her identity because she wasn’t sure if she wanted to reunite with Tad. Hurt, Tad left her alone. It was later revealed after a turn of events that “Dixie” was really Dixie’s half sister Di Henry, and she was working for David Hayward!
Tad was very angry but he couldn’t deny his feelings, he soon found himself falling for her and soon they were engaged. Before they could make it official Tad found out that Dixie was indeed alive, hurt he called off everything. But that wasn’t all… Tad also discovered that Dixie gave birth to a baby girl, but she gave her up for adoption. She felt he wouldn’t be able to handle it. Tad was very determined to find their daughter Kate. And although furious he had no say on who branded his heart for life, he still and would always love Dixie.
One night, Tad comforted Krystal who later became pregnant with his baby. But Krystal lied and said the baby belonged to her husband, Adam Chandler. Of course lies always had a way of coming back and biting you in the behind, the truth was finally revealed that Tad was Krystal’s baby daddy, but only Dixie knew. Dixie promised to keep the secret from Tad. Even if Dixie wanted to tell it, she never got a chance to. Just as Tad and Dixie were getting ready to give their relationship another shot, Dixie she was poisoned, from tainted peanut butter pancakes, that was meant for Babe. Tad was once again devastated. It seemed like he and Dixie would never have that together forever stamp.
After all of this, Tad found out the truth, he was Krystal’s baby’s biological father. They married and together they took care of their little Jenny Colby Carey Martin. Later, Tad’s wish finally came true! Thanks to a very friendly and determined ghost, he was reunited with his daughter, Kate-thy, he and Dixie’s daughter.

Sample Post:
“Sir, would you like anything to drink? A pillow?” The stewardess asked.
Thaddeus looked from the window and shook his head. “No thank you. I’m fine.” he answered with a polite smile. The stewardess nodded before turning off his overhead light and going to check on the other passengers. Tad turned his attention back to the window, the sun was beginning to rise and to him it was a beautiful sight to see. Massaging his chin he sighed, he couldn’t wait to get home and to his family and friends. He couldn’t wait to grab his children and hug and kiss them all over their face. He couldn’t wait to grab Dixie and slap some loving on her, of course he knew that she would be doing most of the slapping and not the good kind. Tad just knew Dixie would have his head when he returned. But to be honest, he didn’t care, all he cared about was being back home. Back with her and all they had.
The way he up and left was wrong, but Tad had no choice. They wanted… No they needed him on this case and Tad couldn’t say no. Saying no to the FBI was like him saying no to a box of sweet tarts and popcorn. It just couldn’t be done! Especially when the FBI was not to be played around with. Anyway when he found out where he was being stationed he soon regretted everything! There were no type of communication. He wanted so badly to reach out to his wife but every time he tried, he failed. It got to the point where he just gave up and wished on a star that she understood and hopefully wouldn’t kill him the next time they saw each other.
“We will be landing in Pine Valley, PA in another hour.” The pilot announced.
Tad settled back in his seat and decided maybe now was the best time to get some rest. He would have a lot of explaining to do when he returned home.
