Six months had passed......six long months since Junior had heard his wife's sweet voice over the phone. The police had tracked Junior's phone, the one that Kris had called on, but when they got to the location no one was there.
The police had continued looking for all of these months but nothing was turning up. Junior slept with his phone right by his head in case she called again but she never did. His biggest fear was that Kerry found out that she had called him and had hurt her.....or something worse. He slept maybe an hour a night and that was the extent. He would wake up in a cold sweat after having a nightmare about his beloved Kris. He was still staying with the Ritters because they still did not want him back in his apartment. They hoped that they would find Kris and then they could compare the fingerprints from the cell phone in the apartment to Kerry's and then lock him up, but Junior was slowly starting to doubt that they would ever find Kris.
Junior slowly rolled out of bed. It was around two in the morning and he had slept for around thirty minutes but could not go back to sleep. He got of bed and grabbed his cell before walking out of the Ritter's guest bedroom and walking down stairs. As he reached the bottom of the stairs he saw his very pregnant sister sitting in the living room next to the fire sipping on hot chocolate.
"Hey" he said quietly as he sat next to her on the couch and covered up with the blanket.
"Hey" she said sweetly to her brother.
"Couldn't sleep?" she asked.
"No" he mumbled under his breath.
"You really need to sleep some" she said in her caring voice.
"How are you feeling" he asked. Her due date was in three days. Junior loved his sister and was happy that she and Matt were together and happy and having a son but it hurt so much to them together. He wanted Kris back so much and would do anything in the world to have her back.
"Fine" she told him sweetly. It hurt her so much to see that pain in her brothers face everyday and to know that he was hurting so much.
Jean then walked down the stairs and joined them on the couch. She rubbed Junior's back as they sat in silence. There was nothing to be said. All of a sudden Dani felt a sharp pain in her stomach and lower back. She winced at the pain as she sat her cup on the coffee table.
"Dani....you ok?" Jean asked.
Dani then felt it again.
"I....I think the baby is coming" she told her quietly.
Jean quickly jumped up along with Junior.
"You sure?" Junior asked.
"Yea I thought I felt it earlier but it went away but I am sure now" she said and she clenched her teeth when another pain rushed through her body.
"Ok Junior you go get Matt and I will call Ken" Jean said as she picked up the phone.
Junior ran up the stairs and into Matt and Dani's bedroom. After successfully waking everyone up and calling everyone else the family was on there way to the hospital..............TO BE CONTINIED!!! And as always I am open to ideas!!! Thanks for reading!!!
