Only Hope--"The Past, Present, and Future"

**Sorry for not updating..Please review!**

Kara stared at Chris. She had remembered her now. Then, she looked at TC who welcomed Chris and Cody into the house.

"Kara, come here," TC said. Kara reluctantly slid off the stool and walked over to where the three were standing. "Kara, this is Chris, my-" TC stopped before he said 'wife.' Chris smiled at Kara, seemlingly not noticing what TC had almost said. "Hi, Kara."

"Hi. Can I hold the baby?" she asked. "Sure, just be careful. His name is Cody." Chris answered and, secretly she was glad, handed Cody to Kara.

Kara took Cody to TC's room to play on his bed while Chris and TC talked. "Who's that girl?" Chris asked as they sat down. "My little sister. You probably don't remember her..She looksa lot different." TC answered.

"What happened to her eye?"

"My stepdad...I hadn't seen her for six years and all of a sudden she's here, two days ago. And I don't know where my mother is, Jay is, my stepsiblings or, of course, my dad is. SHe doesn't know that, though. So...What's been happening lately?" he asked, changing the subject.

She smiled knowingly. "Nothing. Taking care of Cody...We live by ourselves now. Just like his daddy." she teased.

He smiled a little. "Chris..I'm sorry." he managed to say. She looked surprised. "For what, TC?"

"Breaking us up."

"You didn't break us up."

"Then what did?"

"Both of us. We were to busy with other things. We didn't care about what a marraige was suppose to be. I was to concerned with becoming what I wanted to be, to concerned with counting down the days until I was allowed to leave the station. You were to concerned with work, and trying to stay young."

It was silent for awhile while both contemplated on that. "I'm going to go check on Kara and Cody," TC said and walked ot his room, Chris following.

He smiled when he saw Kara laying across the bed, one arm across Cody as if she was protecting him from something, and one arm was being used as a pillow. Cody was sleeping soundly with a little smile on his mouth as he softly breathed.

TC turned around and Chris pulled him into a kiss. "I love you, TC," she said and pulled him to the couch.

**I'll try to update more if you at least review!**
