Chapter Two

Arg, twisting over onto her side, Evelyn could hear muffled voices and inwardly groaned. Who was in her house? What else could possibly happen to her now? But no, it turned out that for once, it wasn't something bad, as she peeked through one eye lid up at the ceiling, she realized something. There was no heavy stench of beer in the air, her baby was wailing in hunger or loneliness, and there were no loud cusses echoing through the tiny apartment. Turning over onto her side and perching up on her elbow, Evelyn flipped her long dark waves over her shoulder and stared out in front of her, in a mix of pure bliss, disbelief, and uncategorical love. Rafe was standing there, with Danny in his arms, tenderly rocking him back and forth and talking quietly to him. Evelyn smiled as she saw the way it looked, so perfect, so right.Just like she had dreamed of. Smiling softly, Evelyn quietly creept out of bed and scooted up behind the oblivous Rafe. "Guess who?" she whispered quietly into his ear, and giggled softly. Rafe turned around and smiled widely, then layed a tender kiss on her nose, "Good morning baby," he said affectionatly and then cuddled up against her, the baby gently pressed between them. "Did you sleep well?" he asked and layed another light kiss on the top of her head. Smiling dangerously, Evelyn looked back up at him and said, "Yes... That is after you finally let me get to sleep." Rafe's mouth dropped half way open in subtle surprise, but Evelyn merly took her baby into her own arms, winked at Rafe, and strolled off to get ready. Althought it surprised Rafe for Evelyn to of made that cute little remark about last night; although she wasn't neccassarily innocent, she was a classy woman, he couldn't help but love the way she kept darting in and out of his arms all morning, and giggling and laying light kisses on his neck. She was much more playful and less serious, he noticed. It wasn't until later that evening when he was curled up on the couch with her, Danny sleeping soundly in his cribe across the room, Evelyn's head resting on his chest, his arm's around her, when their blissful day was well in a word, over. There was a loud bang at the door, and suddenly it was thrown open. "Evelyn, you fucking cow!!" Mike yelled; well the man who Rafe rightly assumed was Mike and the man Evelyn wished she would never see again, the baby of course didn't know. Mike looked around blankly, and stumbled a bit, and then yelled, "Evelyn, you little whore! What the hell is going on here!!!!" He continued to yell and swear so much, that by the time Evelyn coudl get a word in, Rafe was already so tense and so angry looking, Evelyn was afraid that a fight would brake out. And yes, her fear ended up becoming true, a fight did break out, and no not a nice one. "Who are you?" Rafe yelled, and Evelyn knew at once that he was letting his temper lose. "And what the hell gives you the right to treat my Evelyn like this?" MIke's eyes widened and he yelled, "Oh so now a fucking hick wants to fight me? Fine, come on man, let's go." And then as if to somehow prove something, he chose to grab a few old empty beer bottles, drop them to the floor, and then smash them with his boots. Oh lord, Evelyn thought as she saw Rafe come close to Mike. Please God, don't let them lose cont-
