Dreaming of You by Selena

I Knew I loved You by Savage Garden

Forgive Me by Evanescence

Kim had left the bedroom and headed across the hall to Keira's nursery, remembering the shock of seeing her family and colleagues come together and do something special to welcome her and her daughter home. She turned on the CD player and hit a button that would randomly select the CD to be played. She sat in the rocking chair by the window looking out at the dark starlit sky as the music began.

{Late at night when all the world is sleeping

I stay up and think of you

And I wish on a star that somewhere you are

Thinking of me too

Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight

Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you ever see me

And I wonder if you know I'm there

If you looked in my eyes

Would you see what's inside

Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close

But so far all I have a dreams of you

So I wait for the day

And the courage to say how much I love you

Yes I do!

I'll be dreaming of you tonight

Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Corazón

I can't stop dreaming of you

No puedo dejar de pensar en ti

I can't stop dreaming

Cómo te necesito

I can't stop dreaming of you

Mi amor, cómo te extraño

Late at night when all the world is sleeping

I stay up and think of you

And I still can't believe

That you came up to me and said "I love you"

I love you too!

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight

Till tomorrow and for all of my life

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room dreaming of you endlessly

Dreaming of you tonight

Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight

And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be

Than here in my room I'll be dreaming of you tonight

Endlessly

And I'll be holding you tight

Dreaming...with you...tonight! }

She sat looking out at the city wondering where Bobby was, what he was thinking. Tears were threatening to fall as she remembered the night that Keira had been born. The joy that had been brought into their lives when their daughter was born would always linger on her memory. Seeing the way he interacted with his daughter was one of the most precious things she'd ever witnessed. She could still hear last thing Bobby had said to her before he'd stormed off the roof, 'I know what I saw Kim! Nothing is ever going to change that! The fact that what he have together couldn't keep you from doing this behind back!'. Silently, she called out to him, "Please come home so we can work this out. Too much has been left unsaid tonight. Hopefully we can work this out together, you and I. I could never walk away from you. The last thing I want to do is live my life without you in it."

She sat hoping she'd hear the front door to the apartment open and Bobby would walk in. She closed her eyes, feeling a part of her missing with him not there with her. Sighing heavily she got up and left the nursery, curling up on the couch to wait for him.

Still driving around the streets of the city, he began to think more and more about the events that had led up to tonight. Song after song played; each causing him to become more insightful, more aware as to what could have happened. Could he have misread the situation? The next song that comes over the radio opens up a whole new contemplation as to what happened.

{Maybe it's intuition

But some things you just don't question

Like in your eyes

I see my future in an instant

and there it goes

I think I've found my best friend

I know that it might sound more than

a little crazy but I believe

[chorus:]

I knew I loved you before I met you

I think I dreamed you into life

I knew I loved you before I met you

I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason

only this sense of completion

and in your eyes

I see the missing pieces

I'm searching for

I think I found my way home

I know that it might sound more than

a little crazy but I believe

[repeat chorus]

A thousand angels dance around you

I am complete now that I found you

[repeat chorus to fade]

As the song ends he asks himself, "¿La podría haber besado él en vez de viceversa? ¿Podría estar pasando yo el juicio en la persona equivocada? El dios que quiero creer no la era, así que malo. Pero hay el temor que estoy equivocado, que la era. Debo hablar realmente a ella porque yo no pienso que podría soportar para no tenerla en mi vida. Ella es la madre de mi hija, mi orgullo y la alegría. La mujer más asombrosa yo he encontrado jamás en mi vida." {Could he have kissed her instead of vice versa? Could I be passing judgement on the wrong person? God I want to believe it wasn't her, so bad. But there is the fear that I'm wrong, that it was her. I should really talk to her because I don't think I could bear to not have her in my life. She's the mother of my daughter, my pride and joy. The most amazing woman I've ever met in my life.}

Kim looked at the clock on the VCR and got up to try and get some sleep. She didn't have to work till Monday but knew she couldn't go on too much longer with no sleep. But how could she rest? She felt so alone with him not there. She couldn't imagine what his reaction to everything had been. How hurt he must have been seeing Jimmy kissing her, but all she wanted to do now was to work things out with him and get some rest.

Bobby glanced down at the clock on the dashboard; it read 7:30 am. The sun had already risen; sunlight bouncing off the massive skyscrapers that dotted the skyline. He headed back to their apartment, knowing what he had to do.

"He obtenido para hablar a ella, hay ninguna otra manera alrededor de lo. Si era su hacer yo merezco por lo menos una explicación, pero si lo era entonces quiero oírlo de ella de cualquier manera la verdad se sabrá." {I've got to talk to her; there's no other way around it. If it was her doing I at least deserve an explanation, but if it was him then I want to hear it from her either way the truth will be known.}

As morning came, Kim retreated to change and try and get some sleep, praying Bobby would show up. She'd finished changing and was sitting against the headboard of the bed with her knees up to her chest, unable to sleep. She had so much she wanted to tell him, there was no way she'd be able to get any sleep until this was resolved. Several tears had made there way down her face, her eyes still bloodshot and the streaks that had run down her face still evident from earlier. The radio was still playing and the song that began gave her a new resolve to keep going.

{Can you forgive me again?, I don't know what I said, But I didn't mean to hurt you}

Bobby pulled up in front of their building, sun high in the sky as he entered and headed for their apartment, hoping to find Kim there so they could try and resolve everything that's happened. In his mind he hoped he'd hear her say that she hadn't started all this. In his heart he knew he didn't want to lose her. If what she said on the roof was true, that it wasn't her that instigated this, he knew he owed her an apology. As he sat and thought back to the angry words they'd exchanged, he couldn't believe he'd even said some of the things he'd said to her. And poor Alex, telling him fighting with her wouldn't solve anything. She was right; it just hurt both of them even more. He began to wonder what she'd done all night long.

{I heard the words come out, I felt like I would die, It hurt so much to hurt you}

She remained in bed, deep in thought when she thought she heard something. Could it be? Could he have finally come home? The second she heard the door open, her heart just about stopped. Then her mind filled with the thoughts of the fight they'd had on the roof. She prayed this wouldn't be a continuation of that. If it was she doubted she could handle going through that yet again. The first time was hard enough; she didn't want a second dose of it.

{Then you look at me, You're not shouting anymore, You're silently broken}

As he went to unlock the door to their apartment, he wondered if she was even here at all. If she wasn't it wouldn't be that much of a surprise to him, especially after everything that has happened. As he opened the door he looked around the living room, seeing no trace of her, no lights were on or anything. Complete and utter silence met his ears. Not seeing her as he walked in the door, he headed down the hall towards the nursery.

{I'd give anything now, to hear those words from you, Each time I say something I regret I cry "I don't want to lose you.", But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah.}

She heard footsteps coming down the hall towards her. A thousand thoughts raced through her head, wondering what would happen next. Had he accomplished what he set out to do by being out all night long? Would everything work out? She would soon have the answers to all her questions.

{Cause you were made for me, Somehow I'll make you see, How happy you make me, I can't live this life, Without you by my side, I need you to survive}

He looked in the nursery first and saw it empty. Did she leave? Or were the kid's with her mom? He turned and looked across the hall, finding her curled up against the headboard. Her forehead resting on her knees with her arms wrapped around her legs. He couldn't see her face, because of the way her hair hung down. Ever so slowly he made his way towards her, not wanting to startle her accidentally. Although he was pretty sure she knew that he was there.

{So stay with me, You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry.}

She heard him enter the room and fresh tears appeared in her eyes, not having even looked up at him. She felt herself starting to tremble, thinking back to everything that had happened thus far. She wept silently, hoping things would turn out the way she hoped they would, when she felt the bed move as he sat down beside her.

{And you forgive me again, You're my one true friend, And I never meant to hurt you}

He took his right hand and placed it under her chin, raising her head to look into his eyes. Looking at her face, he took in her appearance, realizing it had been just as hard on her as it had been on him. He could tell she hadn't had any sleep, on top of having blood shot eyes and streaks running down her cheeks from crying. He finally decided to ask her who had initiated everything that had occurred the previous night at the firehouse.

"He initiated the kiss didn't he?" Bobby asked softly, wiping the tears away from her face gently. He searched her face for an answer, praying he heard what he was hoping to hear.

Her body trembed as she felt him lift her head up to where she was looking into his eyes. She was afraid. Afraid of seeing the same anger and hurt that had been in his eyes during their fight. She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. All she could do was nod her head yes to reply that Jimmy had initiated the whole thing, not her. She saw a look of relief pass through him at her response. She saw tears forming in his eyes as he wrapped his arms around her. She buried her forehead against his chest, silently releasing the fears she'd been harboring the past twenty-four hours. Feeling as if a huge burden had been lifted from her, especially when he tightened his arms around her shuddering form.

He held her close, not ever wanting to let go of her again. He felt her crying against his chest and whispered comforting words in her ear. Tears made their way down his face as the fear and anxiety he'd held within him all night came out, as did hers. Her arms wrapped around his neck, hugging him tightly not wanting to let go. He rested his head on her shoulder, feeling her trembling a bit as she cried and gently began to rub her back, letting her know everything would be ok.

She looked over at him and managed to rasp out an 'I'm sorry' in between the shaky breaths she took in as she cried. She heard him respond, "You've got nothing to be sorry for baby." He gently turned her head towards his and placed a loving kiss on her lips, as fresh tears of happiness and relief made there way down her face, at the fact that everything was going to be ok. As he hugged her close he whispered into her ear,

"Soy Kim arrepentido. Soy arrepentido que yo le dije esas cosas dañosas a usted. Debo haber escuchado y debo haber creído en usted cuando usted dijo mí que lo no era usted que comenzó el todo. Espero que usted lo pueda encontrar en su corazón para perdonarme para dijo esas cosas atroces." {I'm sorry Kim. I'm sorry I said those hurtful things to you. I should have listened and believed in you when you told me that it wasn't you that started everything. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me for having said those awful things.}

As she drifted off to sleep after having finally resolved everything that had been keeping her awake, Bobby gently kissed her on the forehead and said softly, "

Usted es la mujer más asombrosa yo he encontrado jamás. Dudo que podría vivir sin usted en mi vida. El uno que me dio una hija hermosa. El amor de mi vida. Yo no sé lo que mi vida estaría como sin usted en ello, pero espero que yo nunca tenga que encontrar eso fuera. Usted ha traído tanto alegría a mi vida, yo odio pensar que qué cosas habrían estado como si usted y yo nunca había encontrado. Duerma bien mi querido, instruido que yo nunca lo saldré otra vez." {You are the most amazing woman I've ever met. I doubt I could live without you in my life. The one who gave me a beautiful daughter. The love of my life. I don't know what my life would be like without you in it, but I hope I never have to find that out. You have brought so much joy to my life; I hate to think what things would have been like if you and I had never met. Sleep well my darling, knowing that I will never leave you again.}

He felt his eyes starting to get heavy, everything that had occurred catching up with him. He didn't care he still had his clothes on from earlier. Instead he curled up along side Kim, taking her left hand into his. He listened to her rhythmic breathing pattern, sighing with relief that everything had been worked out between them. As he drifted off to sleep beside her, he raised her left hand and gently kissed the top of her hand and said softly,

"Yo lo amo tanto. Gracias para perdonarme. Usted no tiene la menor idea cuán especial usted está a mí. Cuánto usted ha cambiado mi vida para el mejor. Yo no podría haber encontrado que un más perfecciona a mujer para hacer a mi esposa que usted." {I love you so much. Thank you for forgiving me. You have no idea how special you are to me. How much you've changed my life for the better. I couldn't have found a more perfect woman to make my wife than you.}

Spanish Translation: {sorry I went kinda overboard w/ the spanish}

¿La podría haber besado él en vez de viceversa? ¿Podría estar pasando yo el juicio en la persona equivocada? El dios que quiero creer no la era, así que malo. Pero hay el temor que estoy equivocado, que la era. Debo hablar realmente a ella porque yo no pienso que podría soportar para no tenerla en mi vida.
