Manny tossed and turned in her sleep as she had the worst nightmare in a long time.

I opened my eyes to see Craig standing above me. He had Alexis in his arms.

"Craig, please put her back in her crib," I begged.

"No, she's my daughter and I'll do as I please," was all Craig said.

"Craig please put her back in her crib," Manny said getting hysterical.

"No, If I can't have her, neither can you," And then Craig pulled out a gun and aimed it at Manny.

"Craig, you don't want to do this," Manny said calmly, but inside she was freaking out.

"Yes, I do," Craig said and put Alexis back in her crib. He then turned around and pointed the gun at Manny once more.

"I'm sorry I have to do this my sweet, but we have to be together forever," Craig said and pulled the trigger.

Manny sat up in bed breathing heavily and stumbled out of the bed and rushed over to the side of the crib, tears starting to stream down her cheeks, and looked in to see Alexis sleeping soundly.

Manny immediately put the side of the crib down and lifted Alexis out of the crib and walked over to the rocking chair that Spike had put in there from when Jack wasa baby, and sat down and held Alexis and cried. She rocked back and forth when she finally stopped crying stared down at the helpless baby in her arms. She started humming a lullaby that she remembered her mom singing to her as a child.

As she finshed singing the lullaby she got up and put Alexis back into her crib and walked over to her bed and cuddled back up. She then looked at the clock and it said 1:35 A.M.. She fell asleep right away and slept through the rest of the night.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Manny heard her alarm clock beeping at her. She turned over and saw that it said 7:00 A.M. She had to be to school by 8:30 so she got up and got in the shower and then walked back to her room.

When she walked in she saw Alexis had rolled onto her tummy and was smiling at her. As soon as she was dressed she walked over to Alexis and picked her up.

"Hi baby girl," Manny said as she picked her up.

"Mamamamamama," Alexis cooed at her.

Manny felt the excitement rise in her heart.

She rused into the kitchen, carrying Alexis in her arms. When she got into the kitchen she saw Emma sitting there.

"Em, listen. Say it again Alexis," Manny said looking down at her daughter.

"Mamama," Alexis babbled.

"How cute," Emma commented.

And within ten minutes they were headed off to school.
