Chapter 6: Hard Days Ahead.

Kim was in the kitchen making breakfast for her and Ron, the twins, and heating Lily Anne's bottle. All the kids were up but Ron was still asleep though. Kim didn't disturb him. He needed all the rest he could get. Her back ached from sleeping on the couch all night, but she hoped today's breakfast would help Ron remember something. She was cooking his favorite: eggs, toast, pancakes, and bacon. Just on cue, Ron came down the stairs.

"Good morning Kim."

"Good morning Ron, have a seat, breakfast is almost ready."

"It smells wonderful, what are we having?"

"Eggs, toast, pancakes, and bacon." She said as she scooped some of everything onto a plate for him. She handed him the plate, cut up the twin's food, and sat down to feed Lily Anne.

"Are you going to eat?" Ron asked.

"Yes of course, as soon as I'm done feeding the baby."

"Okay."

Breakfast for Kim was hectic. Ron felt so guilty that she was doing all this work without him, but Kim told him he needed to relax.

"Breakfast was wonderful." Ron said as Kim took his plate away.

"Thank-you Ron."

"Your welcome."

"I called Dr. Collins Ron. You have an appointment on Saturday at 2:15."

"Oh good, hopefully she'll be able to help me."

"Oh God I pray so." Kim thought silently to herself.

"Ron, how about after I'm done with these dishes, we go for a walk with the kids."

"Sounds great Kim."

About an hour later, everyone was dressed, the dishes were done, and everyone walked outside, the twins walking by Ron, and Kim pushing Lily Anne's stroller. Ron looked at everything, studying detail. Yet he couldn't remember anything. Then they came to the local park. Kim and Ron sat down on a bench by the pond with the baby while Adrian and Emma were picking dandelions for their parents.

"Do we come here a lot Kim?"

"Oh yes Ron we bring the kids here all the time. In fact…you proposed to me here."

"I did?"

"Yes, over on that little pier. It was at sunset and you had roses everywhere and hid my ring in a red rose you gave me."

"Sounds familiar, but I can't fully remember. It's all a blur."

"That's all right Ron. Dr. Collins will be able to help." Kim said.

About an hour later they headed back to the house. The twins were getting cranky. When they got home they put them down for a nap, and Kim's parents showed up. They had brought them dinner. Everyone sat around talking for the rest of the day, trying to get Ron to remember something, anything.
