The past couple of weeks were so wonderful for Danny and Ronnie. They were now on Winter break from school. They had celebrated their first wedding anniversary. Danny took Ronnie out for a wonderful dinner and they had some alone intimate time.

Then Christmas came and Christopher was old enough to start getting the whole idea. He loved the fact that a fat guy gave him gifts. Christopher bounded into his parent's room.

"Up. Up." He said. Ronnie groaned.

"He needs to stop crawling out of that crib." She mumbled.

"Duct tape works well." Danny mumbled in his sleep. Christopher crawled on top of his father and stared at him.
"Ah huh." Ronnie mumbled. Duct tape would be great.

"Mama. Dada. up." He said. Ronnie opened one of her blue eyes and looked at her son.

"All right. Daddy, get up." Ronnie said.

"Daddy doesn't want to get up." Danny said with a yawn.

"Doesn't matter at all. Daddy needs to get up with us." Ronnie responded as she sat up. Danny groaned loudly.

"No." He mumbled. Ronnie smirked as she pulled the blanket off of him.

"Yes. Up now." Ronnie cuddled Christopher. Danny groaned as she slid out of bed.

"I think I will look into that duct tape thing." He said.

"I'll make breakfast." She said going to the kitchen with Christopher. She slid Christopher in his high chair, "Okay, Pumpkin, what do you want for Breakfast?" She looked at her son.

"Cooks, Momma." Christopher giggled. Ronnie laughed.

"No cookies darling. I'll make you eggs and sausage okay?" She asked.
"Okay." Christopher sat there as Danny walked out.

"Eggs and sausage?" He asked.
"Is that all right for you, Daniel?" Ronnie smirked.

"As long as there's coffee is involved, its great." Danny said as he sat down. Ronnie smiled softly with a nod.

"Always coffee when you're a parent." He said. Ronnie giggled.

"You've got that right." She said. Danny watched as Ronnie cooked. She was perfect. He wasn't sure how he got so lucky.

Winter vacation was over now. Ronnie hated it. Okay, she didn't really but she would rather be home with Christopher.

"Welcome back. Did you guys have fun?" Ronnie asked.

"We shouldn't have to come back." Silvia said.
"I agree." Ally said.

"Well, if you weren't here, what would you be doing?" Ronnie asked.

"Eating." Ally chuckled, "I'm getting major cravings."

"Totally sleeping." Chuck said.

"But you sleep in class, Chuck." Ronnie said, "Be more creative." Chuck gave her a look.
"I would be babysitting my sister so my parents could go to work." Chuck said, "Maybe take her out to eat."

"Great." Ronnie smiled as she pulled out a stack of papers, "I want you to write two pages on what you would do if you were home right now." A few students groaned. "I know life sucks but you need to-"

"Mrs. Hanson." Scott stood in the doorway.

"I didn't say suck." Ronnie said. Scott looked at her confused.

"That's nice." Scott said, "Could I speak with you outside for a moment."

"Yes sure. get working on your essays please." Ronnie went out to the hallway with Scott, "What's up?"

"Your babysitter called from Children's hospital." he said. Ronnie's eyes widened.

"Wh-What? Is Christopher okay?" She asked.

"I don' know. They wouldn't give me any details. I told Danny and he was getting the car." Scott said, "I can take over the class for you."

"God, thank you." She said bolting down the hallway.

Danny ran up to the first desk he saw as they got into the Children's hospital.

"Hi. A doctor called my work and said our babysitter brought our son in." Danny said, "He's Christopher Hanson."

"Christopher Hanson....Okay....He's in room one hundred which is down the hallway." The nurse said.

"Thank you." Danny grabbed Ronnie's hand and they ran down the hallway. His heart was pounding. he opened the door and saw Christopher laying in the hospital crib with a cast on his arm.

"Oh Christopher!" Ronnie ran to his side.

"M-Mommy!" He moaned. Danny looked at the baby sitter.

"What happened?" He asked.

"He was jumping on the couch and fell off." Samantha said.

"He'll be okay." Ronnie said cradling her baby.

"Owie!!" Christopher moaned.

"I know, Darling." Ronnie whispered. Danny gave Samantha an evil look.

"See if you work for us again." he said.

"I'm s-so sorry, Sir." She said standing up., "I'll just leave you guys alone." Danny sat in a chair and looked at Ronnie and Christopher. He didn't like this feeling. He didn't like knowing his son was hurt and there was nothing he could do about it.
