Chpt 6

Kris turned her attention toward Kerry.

"I asked where were you?" he began to get angry.

"I was out"

"All night?"

She stood there speechless.

"Where were you?" Kerry demanded.

"I told you I was out, I fell asleep in the barn." He stood in front of Kris.

"Your lying" she looked away,

"I fell asleep in the barn" she stood straight into his eyes. He could never know the real truth. Even though Junior had given her a good-bye kiss it wouldn't be the end for them.

"Ok then" he said and walked into the kitchen.

Kris walked up the steps, and entered the bedroom. She grabbed a towel and stripped her clothes off. Turning the shower on hot. Finishing her shower she grabbed the towel and wrapped it around her body. She put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.

Walking down the stairs, she looked at the clock. Eight-thirty in the morning, and Alexandra and Lilly would be arriving at Nine.

"Look, Kerry"she said walking to table where he was sitting. He looked up at her,

"I went out last night, and just took Wildfire for a ride. I wound up falling asleep, I know I won't be riding him for a long time, I just wanted to ride him as my last time." She fell softly into the chair next to him.

"That's fine, I just wanted to know where you were at, you scared me" he grabbed her hand and held it.

" I didn't mean to" she planted a kiss upon his lips. The doorbell rang, Kerry stood and walked to the door.

"Hey" Alex said entering the house. Kris got up and walked into the living room.

"Lilly this is Kris" he said.

"Hi nice to meet you, Kris"

"Nice to meet you too" she said.

They headed out to the race field. Pablo and Jean were already waiting,

"Pablo, Jean this is Alex and Lilly" Kerry introduced them.

Lilly climbed onto the horse and got into her riding position. Matt, Junior and Dani appeared from behind. Kris turned to Junior. Tempted to run to him and be by his side, she stood close to Kerry.

Lilly had rode around the track a few times, Pablo, Jean, Kerry and Alex discussed her coming aboard their team. Lilly grabbed a water bottle and walked over to Kris.

"Who's the cutie?" she asked.

"What?" Kris not understanding who she was referring too.

"The cutie over there" she pointed.

"Matt?"

"No, the guy next to him." Quickly, she realized Lilly was referring to Junior.

"Oh, you mean Junior"

"Junior is his name? Is he single?" she asked. She wanted desperately to yell NO, he was hers but she had to accept the fact, she was with Kerry and carrying his baby.

"I think he is" she stuttered saying.

"Well, I think I should go over and introduce myself" she placed her water bottle down and walked over. Kris stared as she introduced herself to him. Jealously filled her mind, she saw him glance over to her. She kept her anger over control.

Two months later.

Lilly had become their full time jockey. Kris was now four months along. She went out to the track and watched the race. Lilly had been undefeated since she began riding for them.

"This seat taken?" she asked. Junior looked up at her.

"No, have a seat" he said.

"So you and Lilly have gotten close" she stared out in the opening.

"Kris.."

"What? I asked a question, I didn't see any harm in it"

"Don't do this, Your with Kerry now and your having his baby. No reason why I can't go on" he spoke. Her hands on her stomach, she realized what Junior was saying, was true and he should move on.

"Your right" she got up and walked away. Junior watched as she walked away. Kris got near to Kerry who was sitting with Pablo and Jean.

"How are you feeling?' he asked.

"A bit nausea" she sat drinking some water. They headed down to greet Lilly and her win.

Junior already down, greeting her. She planted a passionate kiss on his lips. Kris who saw stopped, a tear rolled down her cheek, she turned to wipe it away. Holding her tears back, she walked nearer.

"That was great" Jean said hugging her.

"Thanks, really it's all Wildfire"

"Yeah, amazing job" Kris spoke. After they all congratulated her, she and Junior walked hand to hand out of the stadium. Kerry and Kris headed home.

"Amazing race today, huh?" he said pouring a glass of tea.

"Yeah, she's a great rider"she said. Only thing going through her mind was the thought of Junior and Lilly together.

"Anyways, I have to go for my doctors appointment. So I'll see you when I get home." she got up and grabbed her purse, heading off.

"Bye" Kerry said. Kris got into the car and headed off. Entering the hospital, she noticed Lilly.

"Lilly?"

"Kris, hi" Lilly spoke.

"What are you doing here?" Kris asked.

"Junior, cut himself, on accident. He was cooking me dinner and accidently cut his hand" she said.

"Is he ok?"Kris asked frantically.

"Yeah, fine he's just getting stitches now.

"Oh ok, well I'm late for my Doctor's appointment, just glad he's ok."

Kris headed into the room.

"Kris, hey" a familiar voice spoke.

"Dani, hey, I didn't know you worked here"

"Yeah, just doing it part-time with dad and the money problems, kinda desperate for a job"

"Right, really sorry about that"

"Yeah, but we're doing okay, anyways Dr. Austin will be in a bit" Dani walked out.

She placed Kris's file on the desk.

"Dani, hey you know anything about Junior" Lilly asked.

"Nope, sorry, I'm sure he'll be out in a bit" she headed off to another area in the hospital.

Lilly noticed noone at the desk and saw both Kris and Junior's file on the table. She checked side to side and decided to take a look for herself. She grabbed the files and entered a supply room. Looking at the files she discovered something unusual.

Ok so it's a bit short but I've got the next chapter half written.
