Chapter 53….

Tom was about to leave,to pick up his wife for lunch,when his brother showed up;"Hey,tom,do you have a second?"

"Sure."answered his brother surprised;"What brings you downhere,chris,you're not in any kind of trouble,are you?"

"No,it's nothing like that."reassured he his brother with a faint smile when he saw the worried look on tom's face;"I just need your advice on something."

"What kind of advice?"asked tom curious;"Do you need legal advice?"

"Not exactly."replied his brother hesitating;"I feel kind of stupid coming to you with this,tom,but i just didn't know who else to ask."

"So you want some advice about katie."smiled he;"Fire away."

"Everything between us is going great."began chris slowly;"Except for the fact that she refuses to set a date for the wedding."

"Have you tried to get her to set a date for the wedding?"said his brother;"What does she say when you bring up the subject,chris?"

"That she doesn't understand what the rush is and that she refuses to be pushed in setting a date."answered he with a sigh;"I know she said yes when i asked her,but i'm beginning to think that deep down inside katie doesn't want to get married and likes the way that things are right now."

"Do you want some advice?"replied tom;"I have known katie for a long time and she might act tough and all sometimes,but deep down inside she's nothing more then a little girl that needs some tough-love sometimes and maybe you should keep on trying to get her to set a date."

"Maybe you're right."said his brother;"I love katie and i really want to marry her,tom,i think that i can make her happy and that i'd be a great dad to jacob."

"I do too."smiled he;"Don't give up and tell katie how you feel."

While tom was talking to his brother margo was trying to talk some sense into jack;"You need to tell your wife about this!"

"I can't tell her!"said jack;"You know what i'll be risking if i tell her about silas and ava."

"What do you think will happen if they get to her before we catch them?"asked his friend;"If you tell carly then atleast she'll be warned,jack,so you need to tell her!"

"How are they gonna catch carly with somebody with her 24h a day?"answered he;"Rosanna is back in town and she'll be staying with us for a while,so even if i'm not at home there will always be somebody there with my wife and there's also still the patrol-cars who are on the look-out for any suspicious activity."

"Rosanna is back?"replied margo surprised;"Since when?"

"Since yesterday."said her friend;"I convinced carly to let her stay with us for a while and ofcourse she thinks that i want rosanna to stay so that there's somebody to make sure that carly still takes it easy,even if i'm not there,margo,but that was only part of why i wanted to rosanna to stay at the house and it makes it easier for me to go to work,knowing that there is somebody with carly and that she isn't alone."

"Does rosanna know about silas and ava?"asked she;"Did you atleast tell her?"

"No,ofcourse i didn't."answered jack annoyed;"If i told rosanna she would run straight off to carly to tell her and i can't risk my wife finding out about this."

"I think you're beeing stupid and that it's time to tell your wife,jack,before she finds out some other way."said his friend;"I can understand that you want to protect carly and your unborn child,but this is getting out of hand and carly needs to know!"

"Not untill i have no other choice!"replied he;"With any luck we'll catch silas and ava before they even get a chance to come near my wife and then she'll never have to know!"
