Chapter 14

"Wake up sleepy head" Steph whispers to him quietly brushing the hair away from his face and kissing his forehead lightly, he stirs a little bit whipping his eye with the back of his hand in his sleep making her smile "Chris.." she whispers again shaking his shoulder, he rolls over facing her and yawns opening his eyes and squinting through the darkness at her.

"What time is it?" Chris mumbles sleepily stretching out the sleep from his limbs and the ache in his back from sleeping on the couch, he lifts up his duvet and lets her climb in next to him. Steph cuddles up close to him letting her hands rest on his chest.

"About two" Steph laughs quietly making Chris groan, "Sorry but I wanted to see you, anyway this isn't working. The couch is too small for you let alone for both of us, come back to bed" Steph says sitting up and grabbing his hands pulling him up.

"I don't think I can walk, I think I'm paralyzed" Chris laughs walking through the darkness with Steph, he trips over the end of the couch and they both start laughing before realizing that everyone else is asleep. "Shhh we don't want to wake up the whole place" Chris laughs picking Steph up and carrying her into the bedroom.

"Well if you hadn't got kidnapped in the first place, lost your memory and your powers and forgotten all about me and everything you wouldn't be sleeping on the couch would you," Steph laughs as he puts her down on the bed and sits down opposite her.

"So this is all my fault I lost my memory is it, do you really think I wanted to loose it?!" Chris pushes her down onto the bed and kisses her; she starts laughing and pushes him back.

"Damn right, this is entirely your fault and you probably lost your memory on purpose" Steph giggles climbing into the bed and pulling the covers up to her chin, Chris lays on his side next to her and looks at her "What are you looking at, it's rude to stare you know" Steph says pulling him into the bed next to her and wrapping her arms around him.

"Just thinking how beautiful you are that's all" Chris sighs holding her tightly letting her put her head on his shoulder "I just wish I could remember my life with you, It feels strange like this. I have all these fuzzy things that I think are memories of you, like I've known you forever but I cant understand them because I don't know if it ever happened or not"

"We're going to get through this you know" Stephanie says propping herself up "I love you Chris, your going to get your memory back even if it takes us forever" Steph says and kisses him before laying down again and closing her eyes.

"G'night my princess" Chris mumbles closing his eyes and slowly falling asleep.

"Great! This is just brilliant, I told you not to let him out of your sight and that he wasn't to leave this building!" KK shouts after finding that Chris is gone from the couch; Kidd walks out of the bathroom after they'd searched all the rooms.

"What did you expect me to do? Sleep on the god damn floor!" Duke shouts back throwing the pillow to the floor that he had in his hand "I can't baby- sit him twenty four seven you know!"

"Guys.." Kidd says

"It's not hard Duke, all you had to do was make sure he didn't leave! He has no memory for Christ sake; god knows where he could be or what could have happened to him! It's dangerous for us out there as it is let alone for him!" KK yells storming into the kitchen

"Guys.." Kidd says again rolling his eyes as KK and Duke continue to argue over who's fault it is for loosing Chris again "GUYS!" Kidd shouts trying to get himself heard over their racket, they stop arguing and look at him "If you'd bothered to shut your big mouths a few minutes ago you would have learnt that Chris is not gone!" Kidd says shaking his head and walking back into his room and slamming the door. Duke walks over to Chris's room and opens the door a little bit and pokes his head in, he sees Chris and Steph sleeping in his bed.

"I guess he's not missing again then" Duke mutters quietly closing the door..
