Junior flopped down on the bed after taking a nice, relaxing, hot shower. He had needed one after the long day and his horrible conversation with Dani. He was laying on the huge bed staring at the ceiling. So many thoughts were running through his head. He had known for a while that his his marriage was slowly falling apart, slowly but surely. There relationship problems had all started about a year and a half to two years ago. They both started spending so much time at work and they never spent any time alone together. Then the fighting started and that is how it had been ever since. They would go days with out seeing each other or with out having a real conversation and then the fighting would start. They would fight about stupid things and they never really resolved there differences.

Kris turned the door nob to the Ritter's house and he worst fear had come true. Setting at the kitchen table was everyone, Jean, Matt, Pablo, Todd, and even Ken. At that moment Kris wanted to run away but it was to late, they had already saw her. "Kris" Jean said shocked. "What are you doing back" Jean asked as she got up to give Kris a hug.

"...um" Kris said trying to think of a lie to tell them.

"Junior suggested that she come home and get back to training since it is so close to her race next week" Dani said knowing that Kris did not want to tell them the truth.

"All well Kris that is wonderful" Jean said hugging her again.

"Yes we are glad to have you back" Matt said getting up and giving her a hug as well.

"Well set down and tell us about your trip" Matt said.

"It was ok...I mean it was cold and snowy" Kris said trying to make it short and sweet.

"Did you and Junior have a wonderful time together" Jean asked noticing that Kris was not speaking much about Junior.

"Yea...we had fun" Kris said ling.

"We that's good...did you hear Matt and Dani's big news" Jean asking so excited.

"Yes... congratulations you two" Kris said too Matt and Dani giving them both a hug.

"So...should we be expecting any other baby news any time soon" Ken asked smiling at Kris.

He had been a lot nicer to Kris since his son had gotten married to her.

"All... no time soon" Kris said putting on a fake smile when she truly wanted to cry.

"Well...no rush" Ken said smiling as well.

They talked for a while and Kris said her good byes. Dani drove Kris back to her and Juniors apartment. She helped Kris get her bags out of the car and they walked up to the door.

"Well...thanks for everything Dani" Kris said once she had her door unlocked.

"No problem...call me if you need anything and I will see you tomorrow" Dani said as she walked out.

"...Hey Dani...really...congradulations on the baby" Kris said giving Dani a genuine smile.

"Thanks" Dani replied back with pity in her voice. She knew that her and Matt being pregnant really hurt Kris since her and Junior was going through such a hard time.

Dani left and Kris went to bed.

As Dani walked back in to the Ritter's house she suspected to find everyone in bed but they were still at the table.

"What really happened in Alaska" Jean asked.

"Yea whats going on with them" Matt asked referring to Junior and Kris.

"We know something is going on" Pablo added.

"Well...um" Dani said trying to find something to say.

"There not doing good" she said quietly.

"What do you mean" Pablo asked.

"Kris said that they never really see each other any more and when they do they fight. They don't really know what to do any more." Dani said setting down in the near by chair.

"What do you mean do" Jean asked worried.

"There not getting a divorce are they" Ken asked in a worried voice also. He really didn't want his son or Kris going through that.

"From what I know...that's a possibility" Dani said in an almost whisper.

Everyone gasped. No one could imagine Kris and Junior not together but from what Dani said that may be just what happens...TO BE CONTINUED!!
