Thursday, November, 24th 2023....

"Come on! Dennis...stop throwing your toys! Guests are gonna be here any minute and all you keep doing is throwing stuff!"Kristy yelled and then picked up her 4 yr. old. The boy giggled as she carried him to the kitchen.

"Rex, watch your son...I need to go straighten up our room like, fast,"Kristy set her son down and then ran off to their bedroom.

To other people X-Rays life seemed perfect. He was a doctor, his wife was an actress and they had a son. Kristy was his first wife and he never loved anyone else. But his life just seemed perfect. X-Ray hadn't met Kristy until they were both 16...and she almost lost her life.

~Flashback~

"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else then right here with you,"X-ray stroked his fingers through her light brown hair. She smiled.

"Rex, I love you,"Kristy smiled back, her eyes fixed on his chocolate colored eyes. Her lips met his, and she felt like there would be no tomorrow. It was almost 11 at night and they were walking the streets. They knew they should be getting back, since it was way past their cerfue.

They turned a corner and walked hand in hand. Past the many side walk cracks they've walked over a dozen times. Then they walked up to a street. A street that ment so special to them. The street between their two addresses. You walk down one sidewalk and you'd reach X-Rays house. The other side of the street was Kristys. And this street is where they first met. Love was in the air. And love is known to blind people, the only thing on both of there minds was eachother. They walked across a street, not even thinking anything of a car that was driving down the rode. There was a stop sign, they had plenty of time. But the car avoided the stop sign. Brightlights. They tried to run. A scream filled the air, and the car drove off. Hit and Run.

~`~

X-Ray wiped his eyes, he hated that memory but it was a haunt from the past. He hardly got injured that night, it was Kristy who was hit hard. X-Ray remembered the Doctor saying "There was all BUT Hope for Kristy, she's not gonna make it," The words rotated in his head, and he remembered the feel of not being able to swallow. A hard lump in his throat that would never go away no matter how much he tried.

"Honey, wheres the vacuum?"Kristy asked as she rushed around.

"Closent,"He answered. Apparantly the Doctor was wrong, after a year of treatments, therapy, and prayer she was back on her feet. But scars reamained, the Doctor said she'd never be able to bare children that she had become steril since the accident. But that was something about Kristy...she loved Children..and wanted one of her own. After being married it seemed the Doctor was right..no children came... no matter what. X-Ray remembered nights he'd wake up to here the gasping of his wives tears as she slept. The pain of hers, caused him pain. When she started to feel like she was pregnant she'd just have a miscarriage. Until...When Kristy was 26 and Christmas came she had news from the Doctor of a baby...they filled with joy and prayed not to have another miscarriage...They made it! They made it to 6 months when...the baby was born. 3 months premature. It was a girl. A beautiful baby girl.

~Flashback~

A nurse brought in a small baby, a little bunndle of joy. The baby was in a glass case, tubes connected to the babies back, stomach, and many other places. A breathing tube down her throat as a small machine quietly made beeping noises. The nurse pushed the baby in front of the weakened Kristy and X-Ray.

"My baby..."Kristys eyes were full of tears. She touched the glass and watched her baby breathe fast, and painfully. The nurse handed Kristy the babies small pink, newborn cap.

"She's not doing so well,"The nurse whispered.

"Im praying,"Kristy squeezed the hat in her hands.

"Im afraid she's gonna die...the Doctor suggests you don't name her,"The nurse looked down.

"No...no its not true...she's my baby...my baby.."Kristy whimpered.

"Would you like to hold her?"The nurse asked. Kristy nodded her eyes holding back the tears burning deeply inside. The nurse picked up the baby, taking off a few of the unwanted, useless tubes. She wrapped the baby in a pink blanket and handed it to Kristy. The baby made some noises and opened its little, brown eyes.

"She's...she's so beautiful..."Kristy stroked the baby's head. The baby's eyes looked up at her parents, the breathing tube was still in her throat. A tear slid down Kristys cheak and the beeping of the machine, beeped one last time.

It was hard to see his own daughter die in front of him, but not as hard as it was for Kristy. Her own baby died in her hands. She loved that baby...but the baby never made it. It took years before Dennis was finally born. And thats when Kristys life brightened up. She loves Dennis and would die for her son. But nightmares of their first borns death reoccure...But at least they had Hope.

DING DONG!

The doorbell loudly rang. X-Ray stood up.

"Daddy! Me want to answer door!"Dennis squeeled and ran towards the door.

"Fine, you can answer the door.."X-Ray walked up behind his son. Dennis turned the knob and opened it.

"X-Ray?!"

"Uhhh...Squid is that you?"

"Yeah! Man, it took me forever to find you! I swear I went to like 5 other houses before yours!"Squid laughed.

"I see you don't know how to read a map,"X-Ray laughed.

"I guess not..."Squid shook his head.

"Oh, this is my son Dennis...and my wife will be here in a second, come on in...its freezing out there,"

"Freezing? X you live in Florida...we live in New York its snowing up north.."Squid walked in followed by his wife, 5 year old son, 2 year old daughter, and his wife holding their baby.

"This is my wife Hannah, and our children Kyle, Skyler, and baby Destiny,"

"Nice to meet you,"X-Ray shook Hannahs hand and Kristy walked out.

"This is my wife, Kristy,"X-Ray said proudly.

"So nice to meet you,"Kristy nodded. "Here would you like to take a seat...since you have a little baby in all,"Kristy smiled and led Hannah to their living room.

"Dennis how bout you go take Skyler and Kyle to your room,"X-Ray suggested.

"Dad..I don't want Skyler with me.."Kyle complained.

"Just go play,"Squid said, and Dennis ran off with Kyle after him.

"So how olds your son?"Squid asked.

"He'll be 5 in a couple months,"

"Oh, really? Kyles 5.."

"Its pretty scary...he looks a lot like you Squid,"

"Yeah.."Skyler held her hands up to be picked up.

"And this is my two year old,"Squid picked her up, she sucked her thumb and stared at X-Ray.

"Skyler...how you doing?"X-Ray smiled.

"Fine,"She giggled and pulled her thumb out of her mouth. "Daddy, said since he couldn't find your house you must of lived somewhere pretty crappy.."

"What? Sky...I..I never said that..."He set her back down on the ground. "Go play with your brother,"

"What a big mouth.."X-Ray laughed and watched as Skyler ran away. Then looked back up at Squid, "No offense,"

"Thats ok..."Squid changed the subject,"I came early to suprise you...were you suprised?"

"I guess...Man, Squid its great to see you again,"

"You too,"

Just then the doorbell rang again. X-Ray walked over and opened the door.
