Chapter 12= HATES ME. It normally takes me a few hours to write a chapter no this one it took a few DAYS! Thanks Aero09 for all your help (:


The ride to Juneau gave Kate and Rick more time to talk, while more time than they had lately. They were talking about nearly everything, but the topic always seemed to verger to Sam in the hospital. They both were wondering home much she would be traumatized she would be from all this. Not just her, everyone who was put into that dark room. Kate smiled as she looked down at their entwined hands. I felt like forever since she could talk to him, mostly because when they talked it was mostly about their latest case, who was going to take Sam to her dance class, what was for dinner, or their plans for the weekend. Kate sighed when she exited the highway. "Kate," Rick said, stroking the back of her hand with his thumb.

"Rick, I'm fine," She told him as she turned into Nathan's driveway.

"No, you're not. Please tell me," He said, holding her wrist when she went to get out of the car.

"Not now, you have someone to meet," She told him before getting out of the car. Rick stepped out of his side.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you drag me up here?"

"You volunteered to come up here!" Kate exclaimed as she opened the door. "NATHAN!" She screamed when she entered, surprised by all of her things the way she left it. Nathan came running down the stairs, stopping dead in his tracks when he saw Rick. "Nate, Rick, Rick, Nate," She told the two before leaving the room to get the her stuff and the dogs. Rick crossed his arms over his chest and glared at him.

"Hey," Nathan greeted with a smile. Rick looked at him before speaking.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Katie ex-boyfriend." Rick eyed him. He had just called his wife, HIS WIFE, Katie.

"What did you call her?"

"Katie. I've always called her that."

"KATE!" Rick screamed through the house.

"What?" She asked, walking through the hallway.

"I'm leaving!" He told her as he walked out of the house.

"RICK!" She screamed running after him.

"No, stay here, you seemed to be a hell of a lot happier!" With those words, Rick picked Lucy, who had ran out of the house and left. Kate scared at the car, her car, until it turned on the highway. She broke down crying, falling to the floor, clutching her pregnant stomach.
