to find Kattie sitting on the couch tired. She was almost falling asleep when he came in. Jack took her book, put it aside, and put his hand out for her to take it, "Kattie. Come on. You're going to bed." Kattie took his hand and stood up, "But I'm fine. I don't want to go to sleep." That was a lie. She wanted to go to sleep more than anything at the moment. Jack picked her up and headed for the stairs, "You're going to sleep. I'm going to sit in there with you and make sure you do." Kattie would've tried to stop him from putting her to bed but she was too tired. When Jack got upstairs and into their room he set her on the bed. Kattie stood up, "Come on. I don't want to sleep. I can't have the dream again." Jack layed her down in the bed and covered her up, "You're going to bed. I'll be here don't worry. If I see you having a bad dream I'll wake you up." Kattie could go with that. She looked up at him, "Promise?" Jack kissed her, "I promise. Now go to sleep." Jack pulled a chair to the side of the bed next to Kattie and sat down. He watched her as she layed in bed. She fell asleep immediately. Jack watched her every breath. Every movement of her chest as she breathed. Jack wondered why she had to go through all of this. She didn't do nothing to desere it. She was innocent. He knew that she wasn't a regular girl but she wasn't a con or anything. Jack didn't understand any of it. All he understood was that he loved her and he had to get her through this. He had to help her to forget about it. Not really forget, because she won't ever forget it, but to move on past this. He thought about it for the next two, three, four hours. It was now twelve in the afternoon and Kattie was still asleep. Jack was still sitting in the chair watching her every move. Kattie started to stir. Jack got out of the chair and kneeled next to her by the bed, prepared to wake her up if it started to look like she was having the dream. But Kattie was smiling. Jack smiled knowing that she wasn't having that dream, but he wondered what she was dreaming about. He would ask her when she woke up. As he was watching her her smile slowly turned into a frown. And a tear ran down her cheek. Jack waited a moment to think. Kattie started to toss around in bed. She moved her feet back and forth on the bed. She squeezed her hands into fists. Jack shook her lightly waking her up. Kattie opened her eyes and looked at Jack. She sat up and leaned on Jack's shoulder hugging him. Jack asked, "What happend this time? You were smiling at first, but then you cried." Kattie pulled away and wiped her face with her sleeve, "Nothing. I'm fine now. I don't want to talk about it." Jack put his hands on her face and she looked at him. Jack said, "Kattie. Tell me. What happen? I know it was something different. I could tell. And you would've told me that it was the same dream. But you didn't." Kattie looked down and replied, "It was the same dream as the last one." Jack put his forehead against hers and held her hands, "Kattie. Don't lie to me. I can tell that it wasn't the same dream." "I know. But I just don't feel like talking about it with you right now. Please not now." Jack nodded, "Okay. Alright. But you will tell me?" Kattie nodded and stood up, "Yes. I'll tell you." Kattie walked over to Anna and picked her up. She felt her bottom, "She needs a diaper change." Jack asked, "Want me to do it?" Kattie shook her head and layed her on the bed, "No. I got it. You do it too much for me." Jack put his hand on her head and kissed her forehead, "That's because I love you. I'd do anything for you. Whether I wanted to or not." Kattie smiled and changed Anna's diaper. When Kattie was done changing her diaper she picked her up and just held her, "She looks just like you. She's going to be a charm when she grows up." Jack walked beside her, "The only me I see in her is her hair. The rest is you. Which I think is perfect." Kattie kissed him and replied, "Jack stop flattering me. She looks like you and you know it." Jack shook his head,"I can't stop saying what's true. Besides, I will always try my best to flatter you." Kattie laughed, "Try? You never fail." Jack held her and the baby in his arms gently, careful not to squish the baby, "Well, I'm glad that I've succeeded. As long as you're happy, I'm happy." Kattie kissed him, "Well, then you're a very happy guy. Because I am more than happy here with you." Kattie pulled away and layed the baby down in her crib.Jack came behind her and put his arms around her, "I love you." Jack kissed her neck. Kattie smiled and closed her eyes, "Jack stop." Jack whispered, "Why? Doesn't it feel good?" Kattie laughed, "Of course it does. You're making me weak in the knees. But I'm saving it for tonight." Jack kissed her neck one last time, "Alright. I love you." Kattie turned around and kissed him, "I love you too. I'm going to go read my book and why don't you go get done whatever work you have to do so we can have the rest of the day to ourselves?" Jack nodded and Kattie left. Kattie went to the library and read her book.
Before Jack went to his office he went and knocked on George's door. He opened it and let him in immediately. George asked, "So did Kattie get some sleep?" Jack nodded, "Yes, but she had a dream. And that's what I want to talk to you about. This dream was different then the others and she won't tell me." George asked, "Do you want me to try to find out for you?" Jack looked at him, "Would you?" George nodded, "Where is she right now?" Jack answered, "She's in the library reading her book. Thank you so much. I'll be in my office when you find out." George and Jack left the room. Jack went into the office and George went into the library. He put his hand out for Kattie to take it. Kattie took his hand andstood up, "I slept don't worry." George walked with her and took her outside, "I know you went to sleep. Jack told me about that." George and Kattie were outside and they just kept on walking slowly. George asked, "So did you have any dreams? What was it about?" Kattie stopped and looked at him, "Did Jack send you out here to ask me it so that you could tell him? He honestly couldn't wait until I was ready to tell him?" George replied, "Kattie. We both know that he would have to keep asking you about it for you to tell him since you don't want to tell him. And he cares about you. He's worried about you." Kattie sighed, "I know. I know. But I can't tell him about the dream." George said, "Then tell me. You have to tell someone. I won't tell him. It can just be between you and me." George was lying. But for a good reason. Jack had to know what it was about. He loved her. Kattie went back and sat on the steps. George sat on the steps beside her. Kattie put her head in her hands. George rubbed her back, "Hey. Come on. Talk to me. What happend in the dream?" Kattie sat up and looked at him, "It started out as a good dream. I wasn't worried that it would turn into something that I know would never happend. But yet it still scares me. Me and Jack were together in our room. We weren't doing nothing we were just kissing. But then something made him angry. And he hit me. Jack hit me just like Victor did. And I know he would never do that. But still it scares me. I don't want to be scared. It was just a dream that shows nothing of what Jack is. And I have no clue why my dream would show me that." George grabbed her hand, "I know why. You're scared of getting hurt again. Your heart was hurt before and now your heart is afraid of being broken again. You're afraid that the guy who healed your heart will just break it again. And I can understand why you would feel that way. And so will he. I know hwe will. He won't be upset with you. He loves you too much. The onl thing that he'll do is reassure you that he won't hurt you." Kattie replied, "I'm just scared. I don't want to walk in the same path I walked before. I love him so much. And I already know that he won't ever hurt me. I don't know why I'm still scared." George answered, "Because you thought that you could trust Victor. But you couldn't. And you think you can trust Jack. And you can." Kattie interrupted before he could say anymore, "I know I can trust Jack. Alright I don't want to talk about this anymore. Remember, don't tell Jack." George shook his head, "I won't. You go back inside and read your book or whatever." Kattie kissed him on the cheek and went back inside. George waited a while after she went in to go in. He stood outside of Jack's office and thought about how he would tell him. Then he knocked and went inside.
Jack stood and walked around his desk and sat on the end of the desk. George sat down in the chair in front of his desk. Nobody said anything for a moment or two. But then Jack asked, "Well, did she tell you?" George nodded and looked at him. Jack asked, "What happend?" "Are you want to hear this? It's not what you'd expect it to be. She was even suprised at what the dream brought to her attention. At what her dream showed her she was afraid of." George warned him. Jack tensed up, "What happend? I need to know." George continued, "Victor wasn't in her dream at all. It was just you and her. You two were kissing and something made you mad. She doesn't know what made you mad. All she knows was that you were mad at her. You hit her. Just like Victor did." Jack was shocked. A tear came running down his cheek, "I would never do that. If I'm mad at her or not, I'd never do that." George replied, "She knows that. But she still fears another broken heart. She had trusted Victor. And although she doesn't care to admit it, she did indeed fall in love with Victor. She doesn't love him no more but she did at one point. And that's what's scaring her. She's so in love with you that she's afraid that she's walking the same path that led to what Victor did. She trusts you. she loves you. And she didn't want to tell you because she knew that you are nothing like that. She didn't want to hurt your feelings." Jack wipped his tears away from his face, "I understand why she's scared. I just have to reassure her that I won't hurt her. Is she still in the library?" George nodded, "Yes. i'll be upstairs
