Emmett was out side making there steaks, Bay handed him a beer. She had not let Eli take a nap during the day, they had to be at the airport for five in the morning, and she new how cranky he would be on the plane if he was tired.
When Emmett comes in the potatoes and the bread are done, she is in her pajamas, he fixed there plates and got them each a beer.
When they were done they did the dishes together, they had not spoken all night." are you mad at me, you haven't spoken all night".
" The reason I haven't spoken is because I want you again, so bad, but I am trying to make you trust me again ".
She started laughing and sat on his lap " well you can't have me" she kissed him "I'm sore". They kissed for a while, " maybe tomorrow or the next day, I want you too"
" Bay please I can't take any more of this, we need the pillows tonight". he signed. She laughed again, " come to bed, just try to imagine what it will be like".
He goes upstairs to put on his pj's, he sits up there he needed to calm down .
He goes to her bedroom, she had the pillows on the side of her, he gets in and they both laid facing each other. She put her hand on top of the pillow and he held it .
At three thirty his alarm starts flashing, he looks to her side and she wasn't there. He sits up and she is in the chair sleeping with her sketch pad. Poor Bay, he gets up and goes sit on the floor next to her ,"Bay wake up, please" she opened her eyes and smiled " ready for our trip".
"Can I ask you what it was about, and why you did not wake me" he signed. " I don't want to talk about it, baby it wasn't bad so I did not wake you".
" You know all of this time I never asked you what happened, maybe if you tell me the nightmares will stop".
" I told you what I remember after it happened, its always the same, he took off his pants I tried to run and he grabbed my foot" she shrugged her shoulders " and I wake up, that's why I didn't wake you I can handle that".
He was looking at her with tears in his eyes, " what about the bad ones, do you feel comfortable telling me about them". She thought about it for a few minutes " he cut me and raped me, it is the same every time,the pain is so bad from both that is why I scream". She rubbed his face " I know that I was unconscious, it is probably from hearing about it, it doesn't happen often so I will be fine".
" I brewed some coffee I will go fix you a cup" she signed. He hugged her " I can't even imagine how hard it is for you everyday, I wish that I could make it go away but please wake me, I love you and want to be there for you". She kisses him, " I have dealt with this for so long, I will try to wake you up, but its really not necessary ".
They got to Galveston about four, Bay had gotten them a three bedroom cabin on the beach. She was tired she hadn't gotten much sleep, and Eli was such a hit on the plane she could not rest.
When they were unpacked he needed to go to the store, " baby I will go shopping how about meatloaf tonight ", she smiled at him " take Eli with you I will sit outside I just don't want to fall asleep if I watch him".
When they got back Bay was asleep outside, he put the baby down and went pick her up and brought her to bed. He put a movie on for Eli and went make there dinner, he opened him a beer and sat down.
She was so strong, to think about these months, having nightmares with no one knowing.
She woke up and walked into the kitchen, he was feeding the baby. Eli sees her,"ma ma" he says and signs.
"Dinners ready " he says. " I want to take Eli to the beach and watch the sunset " she signed. "That sounds wonderful, I think he will fall asleep out there, he did not have a long nap".
