hapter 2: Chapter 2
First of all thanks for the reviews.
Someone mentioned I should give this to a English speaking friend first. But if I would have a such a fried I wouldn´t have to write this to improve myself. So anybody here who would consent to help me. It would be so amazing.
I hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think.
When she came home again she found her husband between some photo albums.
"You remember our wedding? Do you ever ask yourself what would have happened if you didn´t got pregnant? I mean we were young and had so many options. We married and got our wonderful daughter when we were around 20 and it is more I ever could would we still be together . Would you still just be a homicide instead of catain?"
She already got used to this side of him. Sometimes he wondered how they got so luck and what would be otherwise. Must be some writer syndrome.
With the time she learned how to handle something like this.
Kate hugged him from behind and whispered in his ear :"You know, there are somethings from my past I would love to change. But never I would change this. Look at us. Our daughter is amazing and we love us like the first day. It´s almost cheesy but it´s us. I love you ."
The she kissed him.
They sat there for a trough the albums and wallowed in memories.
"Remember? It was the first day we took Alexis to the park. She was so amazed. Her eyes and her laugh. God,she is perfect."
"Oh yes. I do remember but only because she decided to take a bath in that fountain."
He laughed about this memory.
"You were so worried when you recognized she was away. You should have seen your face when you saw Alexis giggling in this fountain."
"Come on, don´t pretend that you weren´t at least a little in a worry when she was nowhere to find. I mean when it comes to picture some big disaster cops and writers are the worst."
"True. However we try to be not too overprotective."
"Speaking of this. Why did you say no about this evening. I thought we agreed on give her room to find herself but also with boundaries."
"Well about this. We also told her a dozen times she only should call me at work in case of an emergency. I was at work and I couldn´t think clearly. Especially after the case Karpowski just had."
"Want to share?"
"No, not really. It is just that there were three girls who didn´t wanted to do what their so called boyfriends wanted. They got killed in the end. Those girls were just two years older than Alexis."
"Oh." ,was the only thing he could say and pulled her back in his strong arms.
"You know, sometimes it is too hard to switch and I am so afraid that someday Alexis is effected by my work. When she called today I was so afraid that anybody could hear it. I do not want anything to happen to her. During the years I made quite some big and dangerous enemies."
He sighed . "Kate,you do an amazing job."
"Alexis told me that she dosn´t understand the hiding. Is it wrong to keep you my secret? Is it wrong not to tell my friend? We live in this bubble since years."
"You do what you think is right. Of course Alexis wonders why she can´t meet your friends. It is about the difference between keeping us a secret and keeping us safe. She will understand one day."
"Hope so."
It was calm between them for a while. Both of them enjoying each others company and relaxing from the day.
"Darling! Anybody here ?" a sharp voice broke the silence in the loft.
"We are here Mom."
It was typically his mother. She had a thing for disturbing intimate moments and walk in on bad times.
"Hi kiddos. How are you doing?"
"We are fine" he answered his mother.
"Great. Where is my baby girl?"
"On tour" Kates tried to sound as normal as she could.
She knew Martha Rogders could respond to this in two ways and neither she needed now.
Sometimes it seemed as the older women forgot about her granddaughters age and started talking about her and boys and hangovers.
Despite of this she sometimes saw her still as her little girl who used to play with Barbies.
Kate sometimes wondered who did a tougher deal out off letting her go.
"Oh look. You two do a trip back into your past."
The actress picked up one of the albums and waved it trough the air. When she saw which album she just picked she started to talk.
"You two always were meant to be together. It was fate. I still remember this special expression you had when you came together with Kathrine trough my door.
And even you only were 18 when you started dating everybody knew it will last forever.
Than there was this dreadful event and you two grew even closer. But than you got pregnant and for a short time it would destroy your love ,you two but everything back together and look at you know . You are a walking fairytale,an amazing love story. No matter what everybody thought when you got married and parents with 20 years. Kathrine did a career as a cop and you ,my son,became a famous author."
"Mom,you know when you tell it like this it sounds we only exist in some old fairytale you are right our family is special." suddenly his serious voice became softer and half amused.
"But what you expected,my mom is a crazy actress."
"Watch out ,son" she warned in a playful tone.
It was totally them.
