I've always been a fan about stories dealing with what secrets are kept from us. Secrets that can lead to some horrible things. This story deals with that. It's about being unable to escape fate. Please enjoy this little prologue. A lot more is explained in chapter one. Sorry that this is a little sad. I have brought the CBTD cast to 2007. So basically the movie happened during a different year. Please review. Thanks. I promise I will keep this one going. If anyone would like to co-write with me, let me know, you're more then welcome to.

Prologue

July 17th, 1995

Chicago, Illinois

Tom baker sighed as the rain continued to pour. He hated driving in weather like this but his friend Jack had said this was an emergency.

"Tom, do you want me to drive?" asked Tom's wife Kate as Tom made a sharp but careful turn.

"I'm fine. Besides we're almost there," replied Tom as he pulled into a parking garage., The gate was open and there was no security guard in the booth. There was only one car towards the back.

"That's them," exclaimed Kate as Tom drove towards the car. Tom's good friend, Jack Martin, was leaning against the car. His wife, Nina, was waiting inside the car. Tom parked and he and Kate got out of the car. They both jumped as a loud clap of thunder sounded. Jack didn't move.

"Jack, hey," greeted Tom as he walked towards his friend. Jack nodded hello.

""what's with this mysterious meeting?" asked Tom, confused.

"Nina and I don't have much time," explained Jack. Tom and Kate exchanged confused glances.

"What do you mean?" asked Kate.

"We have to leave. For good," replied Jack,

"I don't understand," exclaimed Tom, holding his hands out.

"I don't expect you to. We just need your help," explained Jack. Nina finally got out of the car. She was holding a baby.

"You guys had a baby," exclaimed Kate in delight.

"Is this what this is all about?" asked Tom.

"You could say that. We can't keep him," explained Jack.

"We'd like for you to adopt him," added Nina. Tom and Kate exchanged nervous glances.

"We know you recently had a miscarriage," continued Nina. Kate sighed. She had lost her newest baby about a month earlier.

"We want this little guy to have a good home. That's something we can't offer," explained Jack. Kate sighed as she looked at the baby sleeping in Nina's embrace.

"What's his name?" asked Kate. Nina smiled.

"Jacob. He's the sweetest," answered Nina. Kate looked at Tom, who was thinking the whole thing over in his head.

"You don't have to take him. We can leave him in front of the police station or a church," explained Jack. "We can't keep him though."

"It breaks our heart but we wouldn't be able to keep him safe," explained Nina, as Jacob woke up and smiled up at his mother. Nina smiled back.

"Tom, please," pleaded Jack. Tom sighed. He looked at Kate, who simply nodded.

"OK. We'll take him. Make sure he has a good home," assured Tom. Jack nodded.

"We just need to gather some things of his. One second," explained Jack. Tom nodded. Jack and Nina took their baby back to the car. Tom put his arm around Kate. They could tell Nina was having a hard time with this. After a couple of minutes, jack and Nina returned. Jack handed Tom a baby bag as Nina carefully handed her son over to Kate. Jacob didn't cry or whine. He simply smiled.

"He's kind of a fussy eat. His favorites are in the bag," began Nina.

"He doesn't cry that much. If he does put in some rock 'n' roll. For some reason that calms him," continued Jack.

"He doesn't like naps. Sometimes he won't need one. And he can entertain himself easily," concluded Nina. Kate smiled.

"He'll be loved with us," assured Kate. Nina nodded. Tom shook Jack's hand as Nina had a tearful goodbye with her son. Jack put a hand on the top of his son's head.

"Have a good life, little man," exclaimed Jack. He and Nina bid Tom and Kate goodbye and then headed for their car.

"Tom," began Jack.

"Yeah," replied Tom, turning back towards his friend.

"This never happened. You don't know us. And you won't hear from us again. This is goodbye," explained Jack. "For Jacob's sake." And with that, he got in his car and drove off. Tom and Kate stood in silence for a few seconds.

"Let's go, Kate. Jacob should get acquainted with his new brothers and sisters," exclaimed Tom. Kate nodded and followed her husband to the car. Jacob had fallen asleep, blissfully unaware that his parents were gone. Blissfully unaware that in twelve years, the life he had just avoided would come back to haunt him.
