Chapter 9: To Dream About You
The lights flickered on and off as the sound of raindrops hit the house mercilessly. The cries of a baby mixed with it as it was carried into the small room by its mother. She looked sadly at who looked to be the baby's father, who was looking out the window. Tears filled her eyes as she tried to calm the baby down and approached the man. "Today's the day," she said grimly. Finally showing a sight of life, the man turned around, revealing equally tear-filled blue eyes.
"Yeah," he agreed. The girl looked away.
"Are you sure we're doing the right thing? Just, abandoning her?" He cupped the red-headed girl's cheeks gently, looking at her with all the love in the world.
"Girl, I know it doesn't seem right. But trust me, we have to do this. It's for the best." The girl looked down at her baby and saw her enormous green eyes staring at the two of them. She sighed.
"Is it?" Not another word was spoken until a sudden knock on the door made them look at each other again. She bit her lip slightly. "Here we go." He put an arm around her now slim waist, after having gotten rid of the extra weight her pregnancy had given her. He kissed her with all he had in her and pulled away after a few seconds.
"We're going to get through this." She nodded and held the baby up to her.
"Good luck, kid. We'll find you again someday. That's a promise."
Rita Quincy woke up in a slight panic, after waking up from the third dream like that that night. Tears fell down her cheeks as she pulled the blanket tighter around her body, waiting for the summer rain to lull her back to sleep. She shook her head, refusing to believe that the dream that had been haunting her for the past few nights was an actual memory. They'd have come back for me by now, she thought, if it was real. But she simply couldn't shake how real it was.
Meanwhile, on a plane back to Canada, Jude Harrison was waking up from the same dream. Her eyes darted over to the man sitting beside her fast asleep. The same man that was in the dream. She took a deep breath to keep from screaming, and wrapped her arms around herself. It's been 12 years, she thought. Why is this happening now? Sure, it had happened a few times in the past few years, especially around the time of year when she gave the child away, but nothing this strong. She felt a strong pair of arms wrap around her, and hot breath on her neck. "Maybe it's time, we kept our promise?"
