…
Noah was examing Califlower as Dani was handing him his tools. She tried to hold her down but it was difficult.
"Alright almost, almost. I can feel the huffs."
"Noah, come on, she's not waiting to stay down."
"Alright, I've got it." he said as they stood up.
"That's it?" she asked.
"That's it." he responded.
"Now what do we do?"
"We wait until she gives birth."
"I've never done anything like this before" she said moving her hair out of her face.
"Thanks for helping me out tonight Dani."
"No problem Noah." she said. "So, how's the clinic working out for you?" she asked him while they were waiting.
"Great" he responded. "Kris is an amazing assistant, the office is a wonderful place to be and besides, the boss is pretty cool." he said smiling at her.
They both started laughing.
"So I take it, Kris had big plans tonight?" he asked as he kept his eyes on Califlower
"Yeah, Junior asked her to be there for their big presentation tonight" she responded.
"and Laura?"
"She'll be there too." she said as she raised her eyebrows. "I Can't wait to hear all about that one" she now said with sarcasm.
"I thought they were just friends?" he said confused.
"Long story short, he's dating Laura, but Kris and Junior have a past, present and future together. They just wont admit it, but Laura knows it." does that make any sense?" she asked laughing.
"Yeah, I think I understand." he said nodding.
"It's the Davis Family Curse" she added.
Just then Califlower started making racket in her stall.
"I think it's time" Noah said as they both got up and walked over towards the stalls.
….
"LAURA NOOOOO!" cried Kris again as they both fell into the water.
They were pulling and pushing on each other. Laura thinks Kris was fighting back, when really Kris is trying to stay above the water.
"No you're wrong Kris! Junior's already mine and you can't have him. You lost your chance with him. I won't lose him to you!" Laura yelled.
Everyone was intrigued with the project that they didn't notice the girls in the pool. They kept pushing and pulling for a good 10mins.
"Laura.. I can't-" Kris tried yelling, but she was pushed underwater. "Laura-" Kris tried again- "Please help m--" she tried once again. She was now getting very tired from all the struggling and intake of the water she swallowed. She started panicking even more which really didn't help her. Kris tried to get away from Laura but couldn't. "Laura let go of m--" she desperately screamed.
Laura had to beat Kris. She just had too. She had no problem with swimming so she had the upper had in this situation. She had no idea that Kris couldn't swim. "Junior's mine, do you hear me Kris! Did you hear me!" she yelled as she pushed Kris under water again.
Kris was now scared for her life since only Dani, Matt and Junior knew she couldn't swim. "Laura get off m--" She tried yelling. She was now gasping for air. "Junior!" she thought. She had to try one last time… "J-U-N-I-O-RRRRRRRRRRR was all Kris could yell before water filled up her lungs and she went under. Laura was still pushing and shoving not really paying attention.
Junior stopped dead in his tracks -mid sentence when he thought he heard Kris's voice calling his name. He looked up as his eyes searched for Kris.
Laura was getting tired and cold. She figured since Kris had stopped fighting back it was pointless so she turned around and started swimming towards the side of the pool leaving Kris there. She hadn't realized that Kris wasn't moving.
"What's all the commotion?" People were now curious.
"Kris?" he thought as Junior's eyes still searched for her. Junior now looked over to where he left Laura and Kris. He didn't see either of them. "What?!" he thought shaking his head as he looked around. He then spots Laura from the corner of his eye as she pulled herself up out of the pool soaking wet, now walking away.
"Look!" someone shouted as they pointed to something still in the pool. Junior's eyes darted towards the direction that was pointed at." "What is it?" he heard someone else ask.
Junior was now more confused then ever. "Why is she soaked, and where's Kris?" he said out loud as he darted towards Laura. He cut her off as she was about to enter the house. "Why are you all wet and where's Kris?" he said now panicking as he grabs a hold of her elbows.
"Why is it that you always ask about her before me Junior? WHY?! I'M YOUR GIRLFRIEND NOT HER!" she yelled with tears filling her eyes.
"LAURA WHERE'S-" Junior started saying again.
"Ugh! We fell into-" she yelled as she cuts him off.
Before she could finish her sentence, he was half way towards the pool.
"JUNIOR! JUNIOR!WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! Hphz!" she yelled after he ran off.
His heart just sank when he saw Kris's body lying motionless in the water. "KRIS! OH GOD!! KRIS!! HELP!! SOMEONE CALL 911!" He yelled as he dove into the pool.
Just then reporters started running towards the pool, as flashes from their cameras started going off. They spotted Laura as hey headed towards her.
Just then one of the maids brought out towels and handed one to Laura as she wrapped herself up. "Get out of my way" she yelled as Reporters bombarded her. "Ms. Nickels can you tell us what happened here? Who's the girl in the pool? "What was the cause of the pool incident? "Ms. Nickels… " Questions were coming out no-stop as they're flashing pictures of her. She pushed them out of the way as she walks towards the pool.
By then Kalvin and a few other people from Davis Ranch ran got the hit as they ran up to the reporters. They stopped them from going any further near the pool and demanded them to leave. When they didn't listen they had to push them out the door. "This is not good" stated Kalvin as he shook his head.
A few seconds later Junior pulled Kris up.
Kalvin came rushing back over to help him pull her out of the water onto the cement. "The paramedic's are on their way Junior." he said.
"KRIS!! NO NO NO… KRIS WAKE UP!! PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES!" he yelled.
People were now standing around them watching helplessly.
Laura just stood with her mouth open and her eyes on Junior and Kris.
"Kalvin help me start chest compressions" he shouted. Junior tilts her head back and gives her the 1st breath… then the 2nd "KRIS OPEN YOUR EYES! PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES. YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY, DO YOU HEAR ME!!" he shouted as he started crying. "OH GOD, KRIS… BABY.. BABY PLEASE PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES. YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME, I NEED YOU…DO YOU HEAR ME. I LOVE YOU KRIS, COME ON BABY PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES!" he said as he tapped by sides of her cheeks.
Laura knew that Junior never stopped loving Kris, but to actually hear him confess his love for her felt like someone took a knife and jabbed it a million times into her heart. Tears filled her eyes as she watched Junior try to save the love of his life's life.
"1-one thousand, 2- one thousand, 3- one thousand" as we heard Kalvin count.
Junior gives her the 1st breath again and then the 2nd all over again.
They repeat this cycle about 3 more times before Kalvin speaks. "Junior-" he began as he continued giving Kris compressions.
Junior cuts him off. "She doesn't know how to swim Kalvin!" he yelled. " Oh god how long do you think she was under water for… before we found her?" he asked as tears rolled down his cheeks onto hers. "If anything happens to her, I can't forgive myself" he said.
"Junior it's not your fault. Kris is a very strong woman, she won't give up without a fight, you'll see." Kalvin looks over to Laura and sees her eyes glued to Kris. "What happened to you two tonight" he thought shaking his head while looking from Laura to Kris, Kris to Laura.
"She c-can't swim?" repeated Laura shocked "She c-can't swim." she said now with tears in her eyes. Laura then thought back to when Kris tried saying something to her but she wouldn't listen. "OMG what have I done?" she thought. "What have I done."
5mins go by which felt like an eternity, they're still at it. "KRIS, PLEASE BABY COME BACK TO ME!" said Junior. "I LOVE YOU! PLEASE BE OKAY!! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!" he yelled over and over.
"Oh god, please be okay Kris" said Laura as she was now crying. "Please be okay."
…
Gillian was sitting on her bed thinking about Matt when her phone rang.
"Hello" she answered quickly.
"Hi Gillian" said Matt. "Did I catch you at a bad time?" he asked her.
"No, not at all. I was just sitting here going over some business paperwork" she lied. She was thinking about him but couldn't tell him that.
"Oh okay, good. I was thinking maybe you and I could go out for drinks tonight at Bobby's? It's still kind of early." he said.
"I have a better idea" she responded. "Why don't you come over and we could watch a movie or something?" she asked eagerly.
"A movie? Hmmm, I don't really have much to do anyways tonight" he thought to himself. "Sure that sounds good. I'll see you in a bit." he said as he hung up.
Gillian smiled as she jumped off her bed. She went to freshen up while she waited for him to arrive.
