"Welcome Home" Dani said as they entered the condo.

She smiled as she walked around touching everything. "It's a beautiful place."

"You're probably beat. Go get some rest Kris and I will see you in the morning" Dani said as she walked over and hugged Kris. "I'm glad you're home."

"Thank you" Kris responded.

"Come on, I'll show you your room" Junior said as they headed down the hall. He opened the door for her as she walked in.

She walked around the whole room as she touched everything. Her fingers ran along all the photos from the wall, to the night stand, to the dresser, and to the bathroom counter. She picked up a picture of her and Junior kissing as she smiled.

"That was from when we first started dating. You were my date to a party my dad threw."

"How did I break my arm?" she asked as she pointed to the picture.

"Well you weren't a jockey then. I introduced you to one of our jockey's and she asked you to race with her. Half way around, some how you fell off and landed on your arm. Jean and Pablo were very upset because 1. they had other plans for you and 2. You skipped classes and lied to them."

Junior watched as Kris opened her drawers and pulled out her clothes. She then folded it neatly as she put it back.

"Well, I will see you in the morning" he said.

"You're leaving?" she asked him nervously.

"No, no" he said with a smile. "I'm going to sleep on the couch. If you need anything, you know where to find me" he said.

"Thank you" she replied.

He stood there as he took one last look at her before leaving.

"Good night" she said as she closed the door once he walked out.

Junior took his shirt off as he changed into sweats. He got settled in as his eyes got used to the dark. He tossed and turned unable to fall asleep. He missed waking up and falling asleep with her. His mind was on over load, still getting used to everything that happened. "How long is this going to last?" he asked as he sighed.

Dani's head hit the pillow as she was out. She was more tired than she thought.

Kris laid there with her eyes closed as she tossed and turned slowly. Her ribs were still very bruised and healing from the breaks. She was a little scared sleeping in a new place by herself. At least at the hospital Junior kept her company. She sat up as she turned on the light. She walked around the room as she looked for anything that could trigger her memory. She found a few newspaper articles from her winnings as she sat down and read them. She found a few Jerseys neatly hung up in the closet that she admired. "Was I really a jockey?" she asked herself as she held it up to her body. "These must be Junior's clothes neatly hung up" she said as she held one up and smiled. "What am I doing," she thought. "Why does it make me happy every time I see or think about him? I don't even know him" she said as she shook her head." She hung his shirt back up as she turned off the light on her way out. "I need some air" she said out in frustration as she made her way down the hall. "Now, which door leads to the balcony?" she asked herself. She opened up a few wrong doors. "Bingo" she said as her eyes adjusted to the dark. She walked past Junior, not wanting to wake him up.

Junior was lying there awake as he watched Kris find her way around in the dark. He smiled as she tip toed quietly past him heading towards the balcony.

She pulled the screen door open as she sat in a chair looking up at the stars. For some reason she knew it would relax her.

Junior got up as he made his way over. "Hey" he said as he stood by the door.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" she said as she looked over at him. She blushed at the sight of seeing him shirtless.

"Mind if I join you?" he asked her.

"Not at all" she replied.

"Couldn't sleep?" he asked

"Yeah. Everything's still so new to me" she replied.

"That's understandable." he replied. "If you were at Raintree, you'd be sleeping in Wildfire's stall."

"Really?" she asked "Tell me a little more?" She begged.

"Well, you love being a jockey, and you love Wildfire and Flame."

"Flame?" she asked.

"Flame is Wildfire's son. We, together helped deliver him at Raintree. That's why he means so much to the both of us. He's our baby."

"Our baby huh? Good to know" she said smiling. "Go on"

"You mostly drink club soda with lemon, occasionally you'll have a soda here or there or sometimes you'll drink a little champagne. You love giving horses that you work with the benefit of the doubt. You hate animal cruelty. You're more down to earth and you speak your mind. You're not afraid to take risks, and you always shut everyone out when it comes to your feelings or secrets, but I always see through you. You love sitting under the stars and you love camping out with Wildfire in his stall."

She smiled amazed that Junior just told her all that.

"Wow" she said.

They spent a good hour talking as she drifted off to sleep.

He shook his head as he couldn't take his eyes off her. He carefully picked her up not wanting to hurt her ribs, as she wrapped her arms around her neck. It felt like old times as he tucked her back into bed. He moved a piece of hair out of her face as he leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Kris, come back to me" he begged. He closed the door behind him and walked back towards the couch as he smiled.

A week and half goes by as there's no change.

"Kris, why don't you come down to Raintree and watch me train Flame and the dirty dozen" Matt said as they all had lunch.

"Flame and the Dirty Dozen?" she asked.

"Yeah, they were the horses we rescued from the fire." replied Dani.

Just then she had a flash back

"Well if it all goes well, it'll be nice to have Flame back." Said Junior as he pulled Kris onto his lap.

"You were going to leave Flame in the fire" said Kris

"I knew Matt was going to save him" he said with a smile.

"No you didn't" responded Kris

"If I had to choose you or Flame, I'd choose you like I would every time baby." He said sincerely.

"Well, if you're going to say it like that" she said with a smile.

"I am." He responded as he pulled her in for a kiss.

Kris starred into Junior's eyes as they pulled apart. "Thank you for saving my life" she said smiling down at him. She then wrapped one of her arms around his neck as she pulled him in for another sweet kiss.

Just then Matt and Dani walked over towards them hand in hand.

"Well?" Junior and Kris asked in unison

"I get to keep all 12" said Matt as he smiled from them to Dani.

Junior and Kris got up as Junior and Matt did their guy handshake.

"The dirty dozen" replied Junior as they all smiled at one another.

"I think that would be a great idea. I mean, you'll get to see what you once loved doing." added Junior. "What do you say Kris?"

Just then she snapped back into reality as all eyes were on her.

"If it's to soon we understand" said Matt quickly.

"No, no. If you guys think it's a good idea, sure why not."

"Great it's settled then." said Matt.

A few days later, Kris and Junior arrived at Raintree.

Matt spotted them as he waved them over. "Glad you came."

"Thanks for inviting me" she replied as she looked around.

"So which horse did I fall off of?" she asked.

"It would be that one over there" Matt pointed out "That's Nicaya."

"Why is he over there and not here with these 6?" she asked him.

"Well, ever since the accident I've decided that I'm not willing to give him another chance" he replied. "I'm gonna go prep Flame." he said as he ran off.

Kris's eyes wandered around the ranch as they waited for Matt.

Dani pulled up as she made her way over to Matt. As they were walking out of the stall Flame spots Kris from afar as he shook his way out of the hands grip and galloped towards her.

She wasn't paying any attention to her surroundings since her focus was on Nicaya. All of a sudden as she looked up, she spots this big, horse galloping towards her as she gets frightened.

"Junnnioorrrr she yelled as she ducked behind him and used his body as a shield.

"Kris-?" he said trying to calm her down. "Kalvin, I'll call you back in a little bit." he said as he hung up. "Kris, what's wrong?" he asked her not noticing that Flame was running towards them. Just then he spots Flame. "Whoa, whoa Flame" he said as he put his hand out to stop him."

"Get it away, get it away" she cried.

"Kris, it's okay. It's just our baby Flame" Junior replied.

"Okay guys," said Matt. "This day is for us and for Flame. Can you believe it" he exclaimed.

The four of them sat together as they were there for Flame.

"We made it" said Kris as she looked over towards the track. "Flame made it all the way here."

"Alright guys, everything's crossed." said Dani as they all crossed both fingers on both hands.

Junior grabbed the guide book as he pointed to Flame's name. "That's our baby" he said to Kris as she looked down and smiled.

"That's our baby" she repeated.

"He would never hurt his mommy. Isn't that right boy"

She then snapped back into reality...

Flame tried to nudge her but she wouldn't look up at him.

"I'm sorry Kris", Matt said as he approached them with Dani at his side.

"Kris, are you alright?" Dani asked.

"Whoa Flame. We didn't mean to scare you. Father like son, first thing he does is run to you."

"Please just get him away" she begged still not looking up at Flame. She was shaking so hard that Junior wrapped his arms around her.

"Okay, Okay Kris." He said trying to comfort her with a worried look on his face.

"Kris, Wildfire nor Flame would ever hurt you. They love you" Matt said trying to comfort her." "Kris-"

Matt, Dani and Junior looked at one another worried as they shrugged their shoulders.

"Come on Flame, lets go" said Matt as they headed down towards the track.

"You okay?" Dani asked her as they sat down.

"I-I'm sorry, It's just that I looked up and this big horse came running" she tried explaining.

"Kris, it's okay. I promise you, he would never hurt you." Junior added.

She nodded as she kept her eyes on Flame.

Later that afternoon Matt was sitting in the kitchen thinking just as Jean walked in.

"Hey honey' she said.

He was lost in thought as he didn't notice she came in.

"Matt? You okay?" she asked squeezing his shoulders.

"Sorry mom," he said as he snapped out of it.

"Something wrong?"

"I just can't stop thinking about what happened this morning with Kris and Flame." he replied.

"What happened?"

"Well I went to prep Flame and when we walked out of the stalls he got away and ran towards Kris like he normally does if he sees her just like wildfire would."

"How did she react?"

"Scared, frightened even. Did you know that she had asked us to get Flame away." he asked as he sighed.

"Matt, Kris experienced something very traumatizing and all this is very new to her."

"I know, I guess we were just hoping that if maybe when she saw either Wildfire or Flame it would jog her memory." he sighed.

"How did she react when she saw Wildfire?" Jean asked.

"She hasn't yet, and we're thinking that we should hold off until she's ready."

"Yeah, that's a good idea. Being a jockey is a very big part of Kris's life, I mean she fought Pablo and I about it especially when we had other plans for her. We've known for years it's in her blood."

"Yeah, you're right mom." Matt said as he smiled at her.

Kris woke up as she headed into the living room. She was now getting the hang of things. "Hey" she said as she walked over towards him.

"Hey sleeping beauty" he replied smiling.

She stood there quiet as a flash back popped into her head.

She stood there smiling as she admired Junior from afar. He had Flame with him. "You're here already?" she asked as she walked over towards them.

"Only since dawn, where have you been sleeping beauty?"

"What's that?" she asked

"Magnetic Therapy" he replied

"Where did you get it?"

"Kris, Kris? You okay?" he asked looking over at her worried.

"I-I'm sorry, I'm fine" she said as she snapped out of it. "What's all this?" she asked surprised.

"Well I thought you'd be hungry. I ordered some take out hoping you'd join me for a dinner and maybe a movie?" he asked.

She shook her head Yes. "Juniorrrr, that's sooooo nice" she exclaimed as she put her hands on his chest. "Thank you"

Just then she had another flash back..

"Veterinary school from the university. It's experimental but they think it should help." he replied petting and comforting Flame.

"That's like a 100 miles from here." she stated shocked.

"140 but who's counting" he replied smiling.

"So you drove all night?" she asked excitedly as she put her hands on his chest. "That's soooooo nice" she exclaimed as they locked eyes.

"Well, someone's got to do all the work around here" he added as they both laughed.

A smile formed at Junior's mouth as he remembered how she always said his name that way when she got excited. "I hope you're hungry"

"Kris, Kris?" he said as he walked over and stood in front of her. "Are you sure you're okay?"

She jumped as he touched her shoulder. "I-I'm sorry, what's wrong with me?" she asked as she sighed. "What were you saying?"

"I was saying that I hope you're hungry. Kris, are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine, let's eat" she said as they walked towards the dinner table. "So tell me, why was Jean in the hospital?" Kris asked as they sat down and had dinner.

"Well when Nicaya threw you off, Jean rushed to your side. Nicaya got spooked and tried to get away from the hands but got closer to you instead. He leaped up and Jean threw her body on yours since you were already trampled on once by him."

"Jean threw her body to protect me?" she asked

Junior nodded her head. "Let me guess, that happened because I must have given Nicaya the benefit of the doubt right?"

Junior nodded yes. "She would have done it for any one of us." He said as he put his hand on her arm sending a chill down her spine.

She smiled at him.

"Sorry about a few days ago. I don't know what got over me, I mean jumping behind you and using you as my shield." she said embarrassed. "I was really afraid of him though" she added.

"Kris, stop. You can use my body as a shield anything" he joked as they both laughed.

She shook her head and playfully hit his arm.

"Where's Dani and Matt?"

"They went out to dinner" he replied.

Junior put in a movie as they made their way over towards the couch. She sat down next to him as she put a blanket on her lap. Half way though out the movie, Junior leaned up against the arm of the couch as he got comfortable. They both fell asleep not knowing it. Kris tilted towards Junior's side as she snuggled up against him. He wrapped his arm around her as she pulled the blanket over them. She was now in his arms as she rested her head on his shoulder.

Matt and Dani unlocked the front door as they walked in. "Uh I'm so ready for bed" she exclaimed as she yawned.

"You're telling me" he replied rubbing his eyes.

"Sounds like the TV's on. I wonder if Junior and Kris are-" she started saying as she walked into the living room. She got excited as she saw them wrapped up in each other's arms. "Matt, Matt look" she shrieked.

"What is it Dani?" he asked walking up behind her. "His eyes open wide as he smiled at Kris and Junior asleep together on the couch. "Come on, lets go to bed." he said pulling her hand.

She couldn't help but smile. "Do you think her memory's back?" she asked him as they made their way down the hall.

"I-I don't know. We'll find out tomorrow that's for sure." he said smiling as he kissed her. They changed as they headed to bed.

The sun peaked through the blinds as it hits Kris in the face. She started slowly waking up as she opened her eyes. As she tried to get up, she had a pair of strong arms wrapped tightly around her waist. She looked down at his beautiful face as she caressed his cheek with the back of her hand. "You are such a sweet and amazing guy" she said as she smiled. She then ran her fingers across his lips. "I'm sorry that I can't remember anything about us Junior." she said whispering so she wouldn't wake him up. She then sat there frozen as she had another flash back.

"What are you doing?" she asked him confused.

"Remembering this. All of it" he replied as he looked her up and down.

She smiled up at him as he leaned down and their lips met. They then rolled over as she was on top of him as they fell off the bed laughing but continued kissing eventually making love.

"What are you doing?" he asked her as she ran her fingers across his lips.

"Remembering this." she replied as she looked into his eyes.

"Well, I'm still here" he replied.

"You better be" she responded as they both laughed.

He then leaned in as their lips met in a sweet but passionate kiss.

As Junior's eyes slowly opened, he couldn't help smile at the thought of Kris sitting up next to him. He knew that last night wasn't a dream, and that they really did fall asleep together on the couch. As he looked up at her, he could tell that she was lost in thought once again. He couldn't help but notice that she had the same expression on her face just like last night during dinner. "Should I be worried?" he thought. "Kris" he said.

It startled her as he touched her arm.

"Kris, what's wrong. You've been acting strange since last night. Did I do something?" he asked confused

"I'm sorry Junior. It's just that I'm getting these images in my head like flash backs and -" she started saying as she massaged her temples.

"Talk to me Kris. Let me help you" he said.

"I don't really understand it myself. It's just that when you say something or do something, I get flash backs of things."

"Well that's a good sign" he said excited and hopeful.

"But it's still so vague-" she said shaking her head. "I-I'm really trying" she said sadly. "I just don't want to get my hopes up yet"

Junior took her face into his hands as he looked into her eyes. "I know that you don't remember anything and it's okay." he began. "Kris, I love you. I don't want to scare you but I do. More then life itself" he expressed. "I will do whatever it takes to help you remember our love."

Tears slowly glided down her cheeks. "Junior, I-I'm sorry, but w-what if-" she started saying. "Maybe you shouldn't wait-"

"No," he said shaking his head. "We're not giving up, you hear me? Our love is to strong."

She looked up into his eyes as she could feel his love and compassion for her. She felt her heart flutter as he said her name and as his fingers softly wiped away her tears, she felt butterflies in her stomach.. As he leaned down and kissed her passionately she felt a spark of electricity run down her spine.

As their kiss grew stronger and intense, she started having more flashbacks of bits and pieces of them together from their first kissed in his room, to kissing at a party in a photo booth, him telling her that he was falling in love with her when he hardly knew her, and to them kissing in the hot sauce commercial. She all of a sudden snapped back into reality gasping for air as she pushed him back pulling away from their heated kiss. Her eyes opened with shock as she realized what just happened. "I-I'm sorry" she cried as she got up and left.

"Kris wait" he yelled after her. "Please Kris, what's wrong."
