siriusforeva -Hmmm..you think it could be? Well,read and find out!

Koizak - This story is awesome! Really? Aw, shucks, your really nice! (lol) Wait a second, why is Rob evil?

Anywien - Hey! Yes, this story is rather interesting. Just wait until you read what I have planned for later chapters. And I love the name Kia too! I read this book called Dancing Naked (its not really about dancing naked tho) and the main character's name was Kia and the book was really good. Could it be his bike? Well, just read and find out!

nikki007 - You'll find out why they broke up later. Well, actually, they didn't even break up, but they aren't still together. If that makes any sense.

Uh.yeah - Claire my dear friend, how are ya? Yes, it is rather convenient that my story is all in one place now and I really hope many people do like it. I just wish more people would review.

Chapter 4

Previously: The animals did their business and we were walking back to the hotel when I heard it. The sound that I recognized so clearly and remembered so vividly. Great, I'm screwed.

I stopped dead in my tracks. No, it couldn't be. Just keep walking Jess. And I did keep walking. That is until Chigger decided to start running. Then, I was sort of running along with him. I got him to stop after nearly choking him. He whimpered and halted.

Luckily I had grown my hair out. It shielded my face from everyone if I wanted it to and people who I didn't want to recognize me didn't. Well, that's what I wanted to happen. But, alas, it didn't.

It was getting dark now. I assumed it was around 6:30 because the sun was setting.

The purring stopped and I kept walking but at a faster pace. I heard footsteps behind me. They were getting quicker and I was getting a little nervous. Please don't be who I think it is.

I kept walking faster and faster until Chigger decided to start barking. Stupid dog.

"Chigger, shut up!" I hissed at him.

He quickly shut up, realizing that I was getting very angry and closed to being livid.

That was when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I spun around to come face to face – well, as close as my short self could get – to the last person I wanted to see.

"Ma'am you shouldn't be walking at—" He stopped mid-sentence, and realizing who I was, stepped back.

"No," I heard him whisper, mainly to himself.

I found my voice after much hesitation, "Better believe it sonny, now leave me be. I'm fine on my own. I was just heading back."

He just looked at me. Staring and staring, not quite believing what he was seeing.

Then he said to me, "At least let me walk with you."

"I already told you, I'm fine. It's right down the road there," I said, pointing to the hotel a quarter of a mile down the road.

He looked me in the eye really hard, but then broke his gaze to look at Kia as if finally discovering her presence.

He then just stared at her for what seemed like ten minutes.

"Uh, Rob, are you okay?"

He stopped staring and then looked at me, "Yeah, uh, sorry."

"Well, I'll being going now," I said, starting to walk away.

He took hold of my right wrist, which was the arm that was holding Chigger's leash. "Jess, wait."

"No, Rob. I'm tired and I'm going back. I have to put her to bed and then work on an assignment." He just looked at me and then at Kia and then at me again.

"She-she's your daughter?" he asked as if not realizing that before.

"Uh, yeah," I said in a 'duh' way.

"Oh," he said and then took Chigger's leash from me.

I hadn't really realized what he had done until he started to walk away from me with Chigger. "Hey! What're you doing?"

"I'm walking with you; and I'm taking a load off you." He said motioning towards Chigger. I can handle my own stupid dog, I thought.

"Whatever," I said and brought Kia to my front, letting her rest her head on my shoulder. I guess she was pretty tired, because she fell asleep the instant her head hit my shoulder. I could feel her drooling, but whatever, there was nothing I could do about it.

After a ten minute silence, Rob spoke up, "So, what're you doing back?"

Oh god, I dreaded this question even more than the 'who's the father' one.

I just stayed silent, not really wanting to answer. I mean, yeah, I came for business, but that wasn't all. I really did want to see him again, but I didn't know if I could. Well, here I am talking to him.

"Jess?"

"Yeah? Oh, um business." I said, referring to his previous question.

"Business? What kind?"

"FBI. Working on a case."

He just stared at me like I was crazy. "Your working for the FBI? After you tried to hide everything for so long?"

I just shrugged. "Yeah. What's the use? I mean, I ran for so long. But I knew they'd eventually catch me. And they did. That was when they offered me the job. I make over a hundred grand a year and it'll rise in 2 years, so I guess I'm better off."

He just nodded. We finally got to the hotel and I walked up to my room. Rob was still with me.

I opened the door and walked in. Rob let go of Chigger's leash and he came running in the bedroom. Chigger, not Rob.

Rob was just standing outside the doorway. I set Kia down on the bed and she curled up and started to suck her thumb. She really is adorable. The kitten crawled out of the blanket and set herself on top of Kia's sleeping form.

I went back outside and Rob was still waiting there.

"Um, you can come in if you'd like," I said kind of awkwardly.

He hesitated a moment but when I insisted, he walked in behind me.
