"Hi, Julie." Stephanie said smiling at the young girl.
"I don't like you." Julie said simply and went to her new room. Stephanie growled. No stress, she thought to herself. Ranger had left for work already and Stephanie was going to stay and help Julie until she settled in. I dialed Lula phone number, "What up, white girl?"
"She hates me."
"Do you need Lula to come over for a bit?"
"Yea."
"I'll be there soon." Lula hung up and Stephanie went to go get the mail. Stephanie looked through it. She frowned when she came up with the same one she's been getting for weeks. She was going to ignore it and live in denial land as she always does.
"Hey, white girl." Lula said walking up the steps to the batcave.
"Hey, Lula." Stephanie said quietly. She was know 7 months pregnant and her back was killing her. They walked into the house to hear Three Days Grace, "I Hate Everything About You" blasting from Julie's room. "I don't know what to do."
"Tell Lula all about it."
"Julie hates me. The courts hate me. Another stalker hates me. I don't know if I can do this anymore. I love Ric but everyone is against us. His relationship with Julie is so much more important then our relationship." Stephanie said spilling her guts.
"Listen to me. Julie is just adjusting, the courts, well screw them, and your having his babies your relationship is just important as Julie's. Now listen to me white girl. Ranger loves you and would die for you. Just talk to him, okay. Well, Lula has to go to work. Call me." Lula kissed Stephanie cheek and went on her way.
Stephanie sighed and winced when she had a pain going down her back. She needed an ice pack but couldn't get up and Julie wouldn't help her. Out of no where Julie screamed. Stephanie went up the stairs as fast as she could.
"Julie, what's wrong?" Stephanie asked out of breath and in pain.
"There was someone in my window. He had a gun and he left this note." Julie said crying. Stephanie took the note and it read. Leave or she will die. Stephanie sat down and called her sister.
"Val, Can you come watch Julie for a little bit. I need to go out to get something." Stephanie was going to leave for good. Stephanie held Julie until Val came.
"What's wrong?" Val asked walking in with her daughters.
"We had a scare. The alarm system is on. I didn't have it on earlier. I'm going to be gone an hour but Ric should be back soon. So, tell him. I'll see you later." Stephanie walked out and that was the last time anyone saw her for the day.
Later that night
"Julie, please, tell me what happened." Ranger asked his daughter who was crying nonstop and only able to hear its all her fault.
"Well Lula, came over and she turned of the alarms and stuff. I over heard them talking. I don't hate her! I really don't, I just miss my mommy. I took my anger on her. She said she couldn't does this anymore because everyone was against you guys but then Lula left and she didn't turn the alarms back on. Someone was in my room window and had a gun and left a note. I screamed. Stephanie came up and saw the note but took it with her. She called Val and left when she came over. ITS ALL MY FAULT!!!!!!!!!" Julie cried out in one breath. Ranger took her in his arms and held her as she cried. He knew Stephanie has been stressed but didn't think she would leave him. Just then Tank showed him the note.
New York
Stephanie drove to New York. She left and now Julie wouldn't die. It was always her fault, she thought to herself. She found her old friend, Trixie and was going to spend the night with her.
"Stephanie, are you sure you don't want me to call someone?" Trixie asked helping Stephanie into the bed.
"Yea. I just need to think." Stephanie said putting her cell phone on silent. She fell asleep while her phone was lighting up. She took out her GPS so Ric wouldn't find her.
Rangeman
"Were is she?" Ric asked panicking. "She seven months pregnant, she has to pee every hour so she couldn't of gone that far."
"Ranger, breath." Tank said. He had a sleeping Julie in his lap. "She's a tough lady. She's knows what she's doing."
"I can't lose her. I just can't." Ric was about to die from agony
"Everything will be okay." Tank said standing up and brought Julie upstairs.
"Babe, where are you?" Rick started going through all the notes Stephanie kept hidden.
New York 2 days later
"Trixie, I think my water broke." Stephanie panicked.
