Only Hope---Chapter Six

To freshen up the story I decided to add a little Chris flavor...She'll show up sometime in this chapter/the next one! It'll be kinda different cuz she had TC's baby and all but won't be going out/married to anyone...Okay this chapter sucks beyond belief but I have no clue what to write about..::Shrugs::

At his apartment TC shuffled through his falling-apart address and phone number book. Finally he found out. He hadn't talked to his ex-wife chris Kelly in so long that his heart ached looking at pictures of her.

Now that he knew the truth, he had wished that he didn't in some way because it hurt so much that someone-especially someone he was suppose to love and trust-hurt his little sister so badly.

He finally got the guts to call the number. "Hello?" a tired sounding voice answered, and in the backround a baby screamed for it's mommy. "Chris? Um, it's..TC..." he started. He heard a slight gasp on the phone and a struggle to hush the baby.

"T-TC? Oh my gosh, is that really you?!" she managed to cry out. "Yeah, it really is. Chris, I know this is probably the worse time to call you..." he started but she quickly interupted. "No, no TC! I wanted to see you so bad but between the baby and work...I'm on a leave until Cody is old enough for day care. I live only like 30 minutes away from you so I'm coming now. I know this is short notice, but, TC I swear I would've contacted you sooner...Well, bye. I have to get me and Cody ready..." she siad and hung up.

TC sat back, speachless. He had expected her to hang up, not to greet him with open arms. And he had a son. Cody.

He decided to wait until Kara had settled in more before getting her into any kind of police involvement so he went back to the station and hurriedly picked up Kara. "You remember that woman I was married to?" he asked as they drove into his driveway. "Yeah. Chris." she answered, shrugging as she continued playing the gameboy Russ had lent her.

"Well, she's coming today. And I want you to please behave." he explained as they entered thee house. "Why is she coming? And what about the police?" she asked suspiciously. "I decided that you should have somet time to settle down. Uh..Jay-h-he's in Newark, what harm could he do?" he joked nervously, not telling her that the number his mom had given him had been disconnected.

Kara was still playing with the gameboy when someone knocked on the door. "Remember what I said," TC warned as he neared the door and swung it open.
