PrudencePiperHalliwell - Okay, since many people are saying this, I will get it over with. Yes, I did copy two or three ideas from CattyCat. And I recently talked to her about it. We came to an understanding and she isn't mad at me (or at least she says she isn't). That was just a one time thing because I had a plot idea and read hers and her ideas improved my plot. But if I ever liek your ideas I'll ask first for permission to use them and if you say I can't then I won't. End of story. But thanks for the review too.

nikki007- I'm updating! Thanks for the review.

WriterOfFury - If you think my story sucks, then thats ur problem. If you are gonna say it sucks then don't even bother reviewing. Reviews are for compliments and constructive criticism, not insults.

moovalous3 - I really do think this story is mediocre. Its not bad but its not the best. But thank you so much for ur wonderful reviews Catie. I really appreciate it. Oh, and btw, I loved ur new update on KRC.

siriusforeva - Thanks! And I'm pretty sure many people knew it was Rob, but you never know.

ALASKANCHIKKAz - Thank you!

Koizak - No, Rob doesn't know that Kia is his. Yet. Thanks for the review!

CattyCat - Hey, I'm really sorry for this whole fiasco. I'm glad that u believe me and that u aren't mad. But I dedicate this ridiculously short chapter to u. And the first three chapters or so have some ideas that were copied from you.

I, Nicole, acknowledge that the baby idea, the Jess leaving and coming back idea, and Jess working for the FBI idea, all are owned my CattyCat and I wrongly copied them.

I only wish that my other readers will forgive me and that they will believe me that none of this will ever happen again.

Chapter 5

"So…" Rob trailed off and looked at me. I knew what he was thinking. Probably something along the lines of 'why did she leave'?

"So…" I said in response and looked at Kia's sleeping form. She looked so peaceful and humble, pretty much the exact opposite of me.

"You know what, I'm just gonna get it out in the open," Rob said and stared at me, at my confused expression, before continuing, "why?"

I tried to fake a confused look, but he saw right through it. So, I just sighed.

"Jess, I wanna know," Chigger had come over and he started to pet him, "why did you leave me?"

I hesitated a moment. Then I looked in his eyes as I said, "I don't really want to talk about it."

I looked down, but I could feel his gaze boring into me.

"Jess…" he said. But the way he said it made me look at him, "I…"

He let out an exasperated sigh, "I understand…" That completely took me by surprise. I was expecting him to press it, but was completely relieved when he let it go…for now.

We were quiet for a few more minutes, until Rob said something that made me want to punch him.

"So, you've been busy in Florida?" He said, nodding toward Kia's direction. How could he be so naive?

"Uh…" was my brilliant reply. He chuckled and shifted a bit in his seat. He was sitting on the couch and I was sitting in the love seat. How ironic.

We sat there again in silence.

I can't take it anymore! "Rob, um, I gotta get up early in the morning, so…"

"Uh, yeah, sure, see ya…I guess," he said, getting up from the couch and walking toward the door.

"Yeah, see ya," I said and he walked out. I let out an enormous breath that I didn't even know I'd been holding in.

I went over to the bed and tucked Kia in. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and went to bed, after turning all of the lights out. (A/N: It was around nine when he left)

I stayed up for another hour or so thinking about things. About how screwed up my life was; about how wrong everything had gotten; about how much I love my daughter; about how much I miss my family; but mostly, about how much I still love Rob.

Did you like it, love it, hate it? Let me know. But if ur gonna say u hate it, give me some constructive criticism, no insults, please.

Once again, CattyCat, I am terribly sorry.
