Double Wedding Chapter 8: The Nightmare


"Yeah I know they do."


Val and Tyler ordered their food and ate. After they ate, they went out dancing, having the best time they'd had in ages. They headed home after dancing. When they walked in the door, they heard TC screaming. "Caitie, what's going on?" Val asked in a panic.


"She's having a nightmare, or something, and I can't get her up."


Val ran out of the room and into TC's room and got her up. From the living room, Tyler and Caitie could hear what was being said between Val and TC.


"TC, what's wrong?" Val was worried about her daughter.


"I-I-It was h-him, mom-mommy. It was him," TC replied, crying.


"Who?"


"D-Daddy. It was Daddy. He got out of jail, and came here..and..."


"TC," Val begain to pace back and forth, "He can't get out. And he won't find us."


"But..Mommy.."


"TC. Please, just go to bed. Nothing is going to happen. You need your rest, tomorrow is a big day." Val didn't fell like fighting with her daughter all night long.


"My birfday, I be 5." TC grinned, showing her two fronth teeth, that were missing.


"That's right, now go to sleep."


"Otay, night mommy. I love you."


"I love you too TC." Val kissed TC, covered her up, and shut off the lights. Then she headed out back to the living room.


Once Val was in the living room, she sat down on the couch, next to Tyler.


"So, Val. How is TC?" Caitie asked.


"She'll be fine."


"How are you?" Tyler asked.


"I'm fin-I'm fine."


"Oh come on.." But Val interrupted Caitie, before she could go on any farther, "I'm fine, ok? I just want to be alone right now." And with that Val got up and walked to her room.


"Do you think she'll be ok?" Tyler asked, once Val closed her door.


"I don't know. Sometimes, she is. And sometimes, she isn't. Like if TC has a nightmare, Val might have one. I guess we will just have to wait, and find out."


"Do you think I should talk to her?" Tyler was worried about Val. And TC.


"No. Not right now. I'm off to go to bed. We have to be up in five hours, to get down there, before they open."


"Ok, goodnight, Caitie." Tyler got some blankets, and made his bed on the couch.


Just as Tyler lay down, TC came running out of her room. "Hiya Connell."


"Hey, TC. Shouldn't you be in bed?"


"I had bad dream. Can I stay with you till I fall asleep?"


"Ok. But what about your mom?"


"She sleeping. I don't want to wake her up."


"Ok, come on." TC climbed up beside Tyler and cuddled next to him. "What was the dream about?"


"My daddy," TC told him.


"What happened?"


"I had a dream, on the time he hurt my mommy, bad."


"How bad?" Tyler asked, afraid of the answer.


"I was upstairs, when he came home one night, drunk. Mommy was just downstairs watching TV, waiting for him to come home. He hurt her bad, they didn't know I was upstairs watching. After a while he left, and I ran downstairs to see if Mommy was ok. But she wasn't. She was bleeding all over. I ran to the phone and called 911 and then I called Caitie. They didn't think she was going to make it...." But TC didn't get to finish.


"TC, what are you doing up? And not in bed?" Val asked coming out of her room, hearing what TC was saying.


"I had bad dream. You were sleeping and Connell wasn't."


"Ok. Fine," Val said. She started to head back in her room but Tyler stopped her. "Hey Val, wait. Do you want to stay with us and talk?"


Val smiled. "Sure." She climbed up on the other side of Tyler.


After a couple of minutes, TC was sleeping and Tyler turned over to Val, "I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean for her to tell all of that to me. I just asked about a dream."


"It's ok," Val told Tyler. "She can get to talk a lot, and sometimes, she doesn't know when to stop."


"Yeah."


Val put her head on Tyler's chest, as he put his arm around her and the other around TC and soon they both fell asleep.
