He didn't know if he was happy or sad to be back home. Everything was so familiar and comforting, but at the same time everything reminded him of his parents.
Bradin stopped at all of the motels and asked if there was anyone named Sara renting a room. Just incase she was using another name he also gave a description of her. No one had seen her.
He wandered around until it got dark. He was starting to lose hope, not that he really had all that much hope to start with.
The Daily Grind was the local cafe that he used to always go to. It was his favorite place to eat. He hadn't eaten since lunch and he was starting to get really hungry. He decided to go in and have something to eat.
Bradin smiled when he heard the familiar sound of the bell on the back of the door as he walked in. It always smelt so good.
He went and sat dwon at one of the tables and picked up the menu. Even though he knew what was on the menu it was nice to look at it again. As wierd as that sounded it was comforting to him.
Bradin hidden behind a menu when the waitress came over to his table.
"What can I get for you?" she asked. That voice, it was so familiar.
"Sara?" Bradin questioned as he lowered the menu.
"Oh my god!" Sara cried she tried to cover her stomach with both hands.
But she wasn't able to hide her swollen abdomen. She turned to run away, but Bradin grabbed her arm.
"You're..you're.." Bradin started studdering.
"Pregnant" Sara finished for him, her eyes downcast.
"Is it mine?" Bradin asked.
Sara nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Bradin asked.
"I was scared. I didn't think you would want the baby" Sara replied.
"Of course I would want the baby" Bradin replied.
"Bradin this baby is going to ruin my life. I don't want it to ruin yours also. You should just go home and forget about me" Sara said.
"No, Sara home for me is now where ever you and our baby are" Bradin replied.
"What about Callie?" Sara asked.
"She's never meant as much to me as you did" Bradin replied.
"I want to be here for you Sara, I love you" Bradin said.
"I love you too" Sara replied.
Bradin pulled her into his arms and they stood there in eachother's arms for the longest time.
"So, why did you come to Kansas?" Bradin asked finally.
"Well, I saw how amazing you, Nikki and Derrick are and I figured that Kansas must be a good place to raise a kid" Sara replied.
"I guess I also wanted to be in a place that reminded me of you" she added.
Bradin smiled.
"Where have you been staying?" Bradin asked.
"In my car actually" Sara replied.
"Well, we can't have that now can we" Bradin smiled.
"Where do you suggest we stay?" Sara asked.
"In my car" Bradin replied and then he started laughing "I'm just kidding" he said.
"Very funny" Sara said.
"We could stay at my old house" Bradin said.
"Aren't there new people living in your house now?" Sara questioned.
"No, my aunt and uncle couldn't bring themselves to sell the place. So, it's just sitting there empty. Perfect place for a couple run aways like ourselves" Bradin replied.
Sara smiled.
"We'll go there tommorrow and check it out. I can get the farm running again and we can make some money" he said.
"Money would be nice" Sara replied "I've been making a little bit of money here and I still have one of my credit cards. I guess my parents forgot the cancel it. I've been trying to save up for when the baby comes" Sara replied.
"If I can get the farm running again we'll have plenty of money" Bradin said.
Sara paused for a minute.
"I'm happy you're here" Sara said "Things don't seem as scary now that you're here" she said.
"Good" Bradin replied.
"How much longer are you working for?" Bradin asked.
"It's been pretty slow tonight. I can probably get off now" Sara replied.
"Okay, how about I treat you to dinner" Bradin suggested.
"I'd like that...a lot" Sara replied.
"Good and you can catch me up on everything that has been going on with you" Bradin said.
"You mean with the baby?" Sara questioned.
"Yea" Bradin replied.
"Okay" Sara said.

PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I realise that in real life Bradin's old house would never be just left empty, but for the sake of the story please work with me. I'm also going to pretend that everything was left in the house. Like all of their furniture and stuff. I know that that would never really happen, but I don't care!
Should I bring in some of Bradin's old friends? If so, what should their names be?
