I Was Born To Love You Chapter 1
Sara Brady sighed as she walked into the locker room. It had been a very long day and she just wanted to go home and spend time with her kids. It was times like these that she missed Tim the most. He always knew how to comfort her when she was stressed. It upset her, knowing he's never be able to comfort her again.

She had been 16 when she met Tim and she knew right from the begining that he was the love of her life. They had been dating for three years when he proposed to her. When she was 19 (he was 23) they were married on Valentines Day surrounded by their family and friends.

Then when she was 20 years old, she and Tim had their first baby. Their son Ronnie was the center of their lives until three years later their daughter Kaylie came along. They had been a happy family until one year later when their lives were changed forever. Tim had been shot and killed in the line of duty. She had felt so helpless as she watched her husband choke on his own blood and die right in front of her. Tim was only 28 years old and now he was dead.

"Sara?" A warm hand on her shoulder startled her. "Eric. You scared me." She turned around to see her best friend Eric Delko staring at her. He smiled at her and said, "Sorry. You were thinking about him weren't you?" She pushed back her tears and said, "Yeah. Will you stay with me and the kids tonight? I really don't want to be alone." Eric kissed her on her forehead and agreed to stay with them.

After a fun night of playing with the kids, they finally had a chance to sit down and relax once Kaylie and Ronnie were asleep. They talked quietly for a few hours until Sara went upstairs, showered, and climbed into bed. A few hours later she was woken up when she felt Eric shaking her gently.

"Sara. Come on. Wake up." "Eric? What are you doing?" "You were crying out in your sleep. You were calling for Speed." Sara shivered as she remembered her dream. She had been calling out to her husband to not leave her and to come back. She felt the tears come to her eyes and roll down her cheeks.

"I miss him so much Eric." Eric took her into his arms and let her cry out all of her anger against his chest. He slowly rocked her back and forth rubbing her back and whispering into her hair, "Shhh. I know you miss him. I'm right here and I won't leave you."

After awhile they both fell asleep, Eric tightly holding Sara, and she was holding onto him just as tightly.
