Starstruck

Journey sat at the foot of Trent's bed it had been two days since they'd gotten him home and he was still eating bubble gum ice cream.

"You gonna be alright buddy?" she asked.

"Yeah, momma." he responded.

"OK, baby, I love you." she kissed him on his forehead.

"I lub you too momma." he said.

She smiled at him and ran her hand through his hair. Her first baby, Colt's baby, THEIR baby. She still couldn't help but wonder, about her daughter that would never make it to see this world. She felt her stomach turn.

"If you need anything come and find me or daddy." she said.

Colt carefully cut another piece of wood and then glued it into place. He stood back looking at the small pink cross. It was in a heart shape and across the middle of the cross it read. "Take care of our little girl." He'd framed and put the small picture below it and bit his lower lip. He was scared to show this to Journey afraid she would get mad at him for making her remember. He set it on the bench and walked towards the door to the house. Maybe he'd see what mood she was in.


**Maybe seh can find it?**

Journey saw Colt come in and he looked at her. "Hey, are you OK?"he asked.

she smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just got Trent to sleep, it was difficult. Ugh." she looked up at him. "Wondering where you've been off to." she said.

"Well, I need to take a shower,it's been a long day." he said.

she nodded. "OK."

He kissed her on the cheek and left. She went out to see what he was working on, until what she saw stopped her, her big blue eyes went wide, as she saw what he had made, she ran her small hand across the wood and bit her lip. She nodded and closed her eyes. It was beautiful...

Colt let the hot water run over his body. Ever sense Trent nearly died he'd been tense. He needed his family.

Once he got out of the shower he found Journey sitting on the bed the cross in her lap. He swallowed as she looked up at him.

"It's beautiful." She whispered softly.

"You like it?" He asked. "I was worried you wouldn't like it."

Journey looked at him and smiled. "I wouldn't be mad about this type of stuff." she laughed softly. "I remember the day I went to Dr. Gordan and he told me I was so scared I was going to die. I asked him what was wrong and he said 'well Journ Journ your pregnant. Congrats because it's a girl!'" she said shurgging. "Then I was happy again." she said. Then she looked down and looked back up at him. "I wanted her so much, Colt." she could cry anymore she'd gottne to the point where she couldn't produce tears,

Colt walked over and pulled her close. "I know, I want alittle girl too." He whispered. "But only time will tell if we get what we want."


**Ugh, i gotta crash**

me too, but I got you to cave first muhahahah!!! lol***

Journey nodded, Colt was right. "We can't grieve anymore. She's gone." Journ bit her lip. "But I'm always gonna wonder what it would have been like to have her in our lives." she confessed.

"I guess we'll never know." he said.

she nodded. "I know your right."

Colt pulled Journey into a hug and looked down at the wood. "Now, you've been up for a while, it's time for you to get some sleep." He teased kissing her neck.

"You have been up for a while too!" She laughed. He took the peice of wood setting it on his dresser, they wuld hang it somewhere or do wahtever Journey wanted with it tomorrow.

Journey nodded.

"Goodnight, sweetheart." he said, kissing her cheek.

"Goodnight, DARLING." she laughed whuile she pressed her lips against his.

Colt laughed and pulled her close kissing her deeper before falling back on the bed witha smile. That night they loved each other more then they had in a long time.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"DADDY!" Trent yelled in Colt's ear. Colt groaned and rolled over pulling Journey closer.

"Go back to bed." He groaned.

"Daddy, someone's at the door!" Trent laughed hitting hsi little fist on Colt's back. Colt got up and slowly walked to the door in his boxers. "Daddy! Get dressed!"

"Right." COlt grabbed a robe pulling i ton before scooping Trent up and ansswering the door.

Journey slept on her stomach her cheek pressing against the pillow. She heard Colt jogging down the steps and opening the door.

"Hello." he heard him say.


**eep, I have no idea whats going on**

**I don't know either**

Colt blinked when he saw the one friend he and Journey had made at the school.

"Kyle!" Colt grinned pulling his friend into a hug.

"YOu look like you just woke up." Kyle laughed before smiling at Trent. "this must be Trent!"

Journey was sleepy. But she heard Kyle's name, it couldn't possibly be? Kyle, Kyle???

"It is." Colt said. "He's pretty big from the last time you saw him huh?" he asked.

"Yeah, last time I saw you all was... psh, I dunno." he said. "So where's Journey?" he asked.

"She uh sleeping, we had a long night." Colt said.

Journey smiled and closed her eyes.

Colt watched Kyle nod. "So, your mom told me this guy got real sick."

"Ya, he did. Come on in." Colt stepped back as Kyle walked in then he shut the door.

"Who's he daddy?" Trent asked.

"This is Kyle, he's a friend of mommy's and mine." COlt smiled.

"I Kwle!" Trent grinned, it sounded like 'cool'.

"Hey, bud, I think your cool too." Kyle laughed.

"I not Kwle, I Trent!" Trent protested maknig Colt and Kyle laughed.

"Oh, look he's a comedian!" Kyle smiled. "Hey, he looks like you." Kyle laughed. "Poor kid."

"Ha ha, very funny." Colt punched Kyle in the arm. As Journey walked downstairs, in a t-shirt and sweatpants. "Kyle!" she laughed. "How've you been? How did you get here?" she said.
