With Time He Will

A/N-POV skips around quite a bit again... Hopefully the dividers help. Enjoy!

"Kris" he whispered. "How could I have ever forgotten you?"

She could feel the tears slowly falling down her face as she leaned in and hugged him, silently soaking his shirt.

"I knew you would come back to me." She whispered.

--

He could feel her clinging to him as her tears soaked his shirt. How could he ever cause someone who he supposedly loved so much pain? He had a wife and a son; he had a life he wished he could remember.

He sat quietly staring at her, she looked familiar and now he knew why. The kiss they had shared had been mind-blowing, but it did little to help the fact that his life was still a complete mystery to him as was she.

She leaned in and kissed him again, and while the touch felt familiar and his body screamed and ached for more, he couldn't help but feel wrong about the whole thing.

"Kris" he whispered, "How could I have ever forgotten you?"

He had meant it as a question, almost as a plea of forgiveness. Then he felt her collapsing, crying, and hugging him tighter.

"I knew you would come back to me." She whispered.

Silently his heart broke, how was he going to explain to her that even though this felt right and every time she touched him his body was on fire, she was still a mystery to him?

--

He watched them kiss from the doorway, and he could feel the revulsion in his chest.

He watched her cling to him as they whispered back and forth, and then he saw her start to sob.

Things were not going according to plan, but that was going to change.

"Junior" he called and he watched as both jerked away from each other and turned and looked at him.

"May I speak to you for a moment?" he questioned.

Junior quietly nodded his head before getting off the couch and heading towards him. About half way to the door, he watched Junior turn and look back at her.

'Oh no,' he thought 'things were definitely not going according to plan.'

--

He watched them from the window and when the coast was clear signaled that it was time to move.

They quietly opened the front door and they heard her gasp as she turned and looked at them. He signaled for her to come to them and she seemed to quietly shake her head no.

She looked at them for a moment before getting up and coming over to him.

"Matt," she whispered "Junior is in the other room, I'm not leaving him."

He looked at the closed door that she had pointed to and then back at Kris.

"Kris we need to get you out of here now."

The side of her face was bruised and he could slowly feel the anger building in him as he ran his hand along the side of her face.

"It probably looks worse than it feels."

He could tell she was lying and trying to be tougher than she actually was.

"Right Kris and Kerry is a great man who just wants to bring you and Junior back together." Pablo said.

He could hear a small snicker escape his mouth.

"Kris you are coming with us now, or are we going to have to drag you?" he asked.

She looked at them both for a moment before responding.

"I am NOT leaving Junior."

He could feel Pablo's eyes on him and the next thing he knew Kris was over Pablo's shoulder and he was heading back to the horses.

He quietly closed the door and followed Pablo and a very annoyed and pissed looking upside down Kris. 'Well I guess that solves that' he thought laughingly to himself.

--

He closed the door behind him and turned to look at Junior.

"What," he seethed "was that all about."

Junior seemed to look at him for a moment before responding.

"Why don't you tell me Kerry?"

He could feel the anger rising within him as he looked at the man in front of him.

"Don't play games with me Junior, I guarantee you won't win."

He could see the anger flaring on Junior's face before he spoke.

"Is that a threat, Kerry?"

He looked at him for a moment contemplating what to say. Then the words seemed to seep out of him.

"No Junior that is a promise."

The next thing he felt was a fist slowly and steadily connecting with the side of his face.

--

She slowly and steadily had been pounding on his back for the last few minutes and it was starting to make him angry.

"Kris, stop now." He barked.

She seemed to stop for a moment and he heard her speak.

"I can't believe you dragged me away like a child. I am NOT a child."

Her voice rose as she got angrier and angrier and he put her down on the ground and hoped that they were far enough away that they wouldn't be heard by the occupants of the cabin.

"I told you I did not want to come with you and you dragged me anyways. What is your problem? We left Junior behind!"

He looked to Matt who seemed to be considering the same possibilities he was.

"Kris, we had to get you out of there. Kerry is dangerous, Junior is a big boy he can take care of himself."

They watched as tears started to fall down her face and he could feel the tension rising in his neck as he let out a sigh.

"Kris," he asked "did you ever consider the possibility that Junior was working with Kerry?"

She looked at him and the moment she did he knew he shouldn't have said it.

"Pablo, how could you, even for a moment think that. That is my husband back there and he could be in danger and you guys just drag me away and leave him for the wolves."

He looked to Matt for help and slowly saw him nod his head. He watched Matt sit down next to her and place her head on his shoulder.

"Kris," he replied "please understand that we love you and care about you and that is why we are doing this. We had to take the chance that was given to us and get you out of there with or without Junior. What exactly happened in there and what was said that has got you this upset?"

Kris looked at Matt for a moment before replying "Junior had memory loss."

Pablo and Matt's eyes connected before Matt continued.

"Had, Kris, or has?"

He could see more tears slowly falling down her face and he could hear her rapid intake of breath.

"He didn't know who I was at first, but I filled him in with as much as I could in the time we had together. I even told him about Jason."

Her voice broke as she spoke.

"He has to remember me, Matt, he just has to."

"Kris?" he quietly asked.

Quietly she whispered "has, Matt, he has memory loss" and he watched as Matt pulled her into him for a hug.

"He wanted to remember me, he really did. I could tell when we kissed."

Pablo could see a few tears fall from Matt's face as he quietly nodded his head in understanding.

"I'm sure with time, Kris, he will. With time he will."
