A Series Of Unfortunate Events

Chapter 4

Nearly everyone was asleep Jamie was trying to get comfy on the floor. Kaitlyn had had enough of him moaning about the pillows; so she turned on the lamp beside the bed, Jamie being Jamie and a cop, sat up and thought something was wrong. Kaitlyn just looked at him "we are both adults Jamie, we can share a bed, and you need your sleep just like I do"

Jamie was going to protest but he was too tired and late, he climbed into the bed and got comfy beside Kaitlyn "there, it didn't kill you did it" Jamie looked at her "what happened between us Kaitlyn?" Kaitlyn just started at the ceiling.

"Sydney happened, she didn't like you having a girl best friend so she told me if I didn't back away she would take you away from your family and I know how much they mean to you, so I bowed out gracefully" Kaitlyn waited for a response, Jamie felt like someone had put a knife through his heart, he hadn't felt that in while not since Joe died. "sh, she said that to you"

Kaitlyn looked at him "Jamie its okay, I was there for the important things like Joe's funeral just in case you needed a friendly face and your graduation, when my dad told me, I knew I couldn't miss that"

Jamie looked back at her "I am so sorry she said that to you Kaitlyn" Kaitlyn got comfy on her side "get some sleep officer" Jamie watched her turn off the light "you to Miss. Moore"

They both fell asleep, Jamie had waited a few minutes to make sure that Kaitlyn was asleep and actually there and not his imagination. Kaitlyn moved in the sleep, her arm fell across Jamie's chest, he woke up cause of the touch but he soon fell back to sleep with a smile. Kaitlyns' head was by Jamie's shoulder.

They joined everyone for breakfast, everyone was deciding on what to do on their Saturday off. Sean was still trying to figure out why they were being targeted so he asked Linda "Mom why are we all here again for?" Linda looked at her youngest "cause an old case of Grandpa's is being reopened because the guy claims he's innocent" Jack added "so Grandpa has to testify against the bad guy again" Sean nodded "I get it now, he's trying to scare grandpa so he can get his life back"

Frank nodded "absolutely right Sean, which means he's not innocent he just wants to see the witness, this case happened about 17 years ago, the witness was only 15 and couldn't appear in court, but now they can" Sean looked at Frank "because they are older" Frank nodded again.

Linda looked down at her wedding ring and twisted it around, Danny saw this. She only did that when she was scared or nervous. Danny placed a cup of coffee in her hands "you okay babe?" Linda nodded and slowly drank the coffee.

Nicki got told that Erin had to work "mom, you promised a girls day" Erin sighed "I'm sorry sweetie" Nicki looked down at her breakfast; Linda drank her coffee "I have a suggestion; I could have a girls day with Nicki instead" Nicki's face lit up "really? Aunt Linda" Linda smiled "why not? Henry is having a boys day with Jack and Sean" looking at her boys eating breakfast.

Nicki's smiled soon faded "but we can't go without the boys" Linda smiled again "I have to get a few things for dinner tonight, I could grab a few movies, buy some popcorn and some nail varnish; we could have an inside girls day"

Nicki nodded like her head was about to fall off " that sounds even better, thanks Aunt Linda" Erin refilled her coffee cup "thank you so much Linda, you are a life saver" Jamie liked it when his niece was happy "I have some errands run this morning before my shift, I can take Linda then bring her back"

Danny put his jacket on "see everyone is happy, right see you all tonight, bye boys love you and be good" Sean and Jack looked up from their cereal bowls "bye dad, love you too" Danny kissed Linda "love you and see you tonight" Linda returned the kiss "love you too, be safe Danny"

Erin said goodbye to everyone before she left with Danny and he gave her a lift to the courthouse. Jamie got dressed and walked back downstairs to everyone; Frank made him eat breakfast "most important meal of the day" Jamie sat down "knowing my luck my only meal of today"

Will Everyone Make It To Dinner?
