Chapter Four

Caleb had a sleepless night. Every time he would doze off, Terrifying images flooded his head. There were some of Sarah, and some of his mother. Even though he knew that nothing could happen to either of them, he still was frightened, which was unusual.

"Morning." Sarah said, resting her head on his bare, broad chest.

"Morning." He put his hand on her head and raked his fingers through her hair.

"I was thinking of spending the day with Kate and then we could meet up later." Sarah announced.

"That's fine with me." He replied. Maybe while she was gone, he could get some sleep.

"Today was amazing." Kate gushed. They were sitting at the local food court, surrounded by shopping bags. Not only did Sarah get to be Mrs. Danvers when she married Caleb, but she also got part of the Danver's fortune.

"I was thinking that since I got married, we haven't got to spend some quality time together." Sarah sipped some of her diet Pepsi.

"How does it feel to be married?" Kate asked, curiously.

"Well, I think things are better. Our sex life has improved." Sarah started.

"How?"

"Well, because we didn't have a sex life before our wedding." Sarah laughed. "You were right, Caleb is the better one."

"That and Reid's with Tyler." Kate smiled. "Go on."

"Okay, our sex life is better, it's nice to wake up next to the man you love, the wedding itself shows how much you love each other, and if I get pregnant, I know for sure that we will be there for me." Just then, she saw Pogue hidden in the shadows, trying to get her attention. "Can you excuse me?" she walked over to where Pogue was standing. "What's up?"

"I just saw the darkling and I wanted to see if Kate was okay." He said.

"I would never let anything happen to her." Sarah vowed. "You know you should just tell her the truth. Caleb told me and now there are no secrets in our relationships."

"Where is Caleb?" Pogue asked, changing the subject. He quickly scanned the crowd.

"I left him at home. I didn't think he would have much fun anyway." Sarah replied. "If anything else happens, call me." She made her way back to the table. "Sorry about that. Nature called."

- - - - - - - - - - -

Caleb's whole body was drenched in sweat. He was in bed since Sarah left, trying to get sleep. He was so tired. His mother had taken Sarah's niece, Destiny, over to the Simms for lunch. He had the mansion to himself. There was no reason why he wasn't able to sleep.

He heard the front door open. "Caleb, we're home." Sarah called upstairs. She must have been putting things away, because she didn't open the door to their bedroom until five minutes later.

She gave him kiss. "Get any sleep?" She asked.

"Nope." Caleb sighed. "Did you have a good time?" Sarah sat down and told him about the trip to the mall. She even told him about Pogue.

"Have you been in bed all day?" She asked, concerned. He nodded. "Hold on a sec, okay?" If he has been in bed all day, then he must be hungry. She thought. She made her way to the kitchen.

- - - - - - - - - -

"Here you go." She said, opening the bedroom door once more. She carried in a tray with a sandwich and a coke. She set it beside him on the side table.

"I'm not hungry." He said, exhausted.

"We'll you've got to eat something." She protested.

"I said I'm not hungry." He shouted. Sarah got a look of hurt in her eyes. At once he knew that he had upset the very person that he cared so much about. "Sarah…" He started.

"I know that you're stressed, but I never knew you could be an asshole." Tears started trickling down her face. She grabbed her keys and ran out the door.

- - - - - - - - - - -

There was a loud pounding on the door. Reid was the first to wake up. "Hey." He gently nudged Tyler.

"Hmm." Tyler groaned, still asleep.

"There's someone at the door." Reid informed him. Tyler groaned once more and sat up.

With robes secure around their naked bodies, they opened the door. "Sarah." Tyler said. Sarah was standing there, her face streaked with tears.

- - - - - - - - - -

"I just don't know what happened." She said. "Kate and I went to the mall. When I came back, I made him lunch and he yelled at me." She paused. Her cell phone was ringing.

"Are you going to get that?" Reid asked.

Sarah shook her head. "It's Caleb."

"Listen. I'm sure he didn't mean to yell at you. Things are touch right now, with Chase back and all." Tyler said kindly.

- - - - - - - - - -

"I didn't mean to, it just happened." Caleb said. Pogue could see that he was real torn up about what happened. He and Evelyn were trying to console him.

"She probably just needs to cool down." Pogue offered.

"What you need to do is buy her flowers and tell her how sorry you are." Evelyn stated.

"I don't know where she is. She won't answer her cell." Caleb protested.

"Tyler just called. She over with them."

- - - - - - - - - - -

There was a knock at the door. Tyler opened it. There was Caleb standing with flowers in hand. "Can we talk?" he pleaded.

Reid and Tyler went to their bathroom so they could talk privately. "Sarah, I am so sorry. I never meant to yell at you. Not now, not ever. I love you. I've just been so tired and stressed. Chase is back, but we don't know where he is or what he's planning."

Sarah stood up. "They're pretty flowers. Are you going to hold them all day?"

"Oh." He said, handing them to her.

"I know what you have on your plate. I'm sorry I forced the food on you. If you promise not to let your powers or Chase stop you from being who you truly are, and you don't neglect your health, I promise never to push an issue. But if there is something bothering you, I want you to tell me." Sarah paused. "We made a vow to each other. For better or for worse. I am here for you, Caleb Danvers, I just need you to trust that I can handle it."

"I do trust you. With all my heart." He paused and held out his hand. "Deal." Caleb smiled.

"Kiss and make up already." Reid said. Both his and Tyler's head were peaking around the corner.

Caleb smiled and pressed his lips against hers.
