I know, I know, it's been a while. Sorry but my teachers are torturing me with the trial exams:-( THX for the reviews! So, here we go once more:

Chapter twelve: Darling, who is this?

Meanwhile by Nicky...

"Nicky, please honey talk to us!"

Nicky was simply staring out of the window. He didn't want to turn around and face his parents. He couldn't. After bringing Brian home, the family was now sitting in the living room. His parents were pleading for at least half an hour now to explain them how he did know about the crazy driver.

Well, at least his mom did. His dad was looking at him with...well, concern, but there was something else in in his look, something he couldn't put his finger on it. Was it... knowledge?

For a moment, Nicky could swear that his dad knew exactly what was going on. But that was impossible. How would he know about his visions? About the weird stuff that happened sometimes around him? Nicky didn't tell him and he wouldn't. What should he say?

Hey guys, I have visions? Of course not! One word about his powers and his parents would think he was insane, or completely freak out. Probably both.

"God, why me? Why can't I be normal just like everyone else?", he thought.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. His parents looked surprised at each other. Who could this be at this time? His father stood up and went to the front door.

He opened the door to reveal a man in his late 30's, with messy brown hair and stunning green eyes looking thoughtfully at him. He recognized the stranger immediately.

"Chris? You were the last person I expected. Come on in. How are you?"

Chris gave him a little smile and stepped in. "Im fine, thanks Jesse."

"What'cha doing here?"

"Watching over Nicky."

Jesses jaw dropped slightly while he closed the door. "How did you know...wait, are you able to sense when he's in trouble?"

"Sort of, yeah. What happened?"

"Im not sure."

"Darling, who is this?", came suddenly the voice of Jesses wife from the doorway. A second later she was standing there, a shocked expression on her face as she too recognized the newcomer.

Jesse could tell that she was thinking of a time 13 years ago. When they so desperately tried to get a child but nothing worked. And then there was this night that changed their life forever. The night, when Chris appeared and pleaded for them to take care of Nicky.
