You're my whole world

Chapter 3. My baby

Chris and I had just finished season 1, and we were about to start season 2 when there was a knock on the door.

"Go ahead and start it, I'll be right back." Chris said standing up. I hit play while he opened the door.

"Hey Nichole can you come here for a second please?" Chris called. I paused the show. Chris sounded scared, but why? I stood up, and went to go see what he needed.

"Yeah what's up?" I asked standing beside him. He nodded his head towards the door. I looked, and saw that there were two police officers standing there. Oh god what happened this time?

"Are you Nichole French?" One of the officers asked me. I was too scared to answer him. I just kinda stood there. Chris nudged me, and I was able to answer.

"Y-yes?" I answered. The officer nodded his head.

"We've been looking for you everywhere, finally we found you." The officer said. I looked at Chris, and he looked at me.

"Um could you possibly explain why you have been looking for Nikki?" Chris asked wrapping his arm around my waist, and pulling me into his side. I love when he gets protective like this.

"Oh yes of course, um Nikki do you remember about three and a half years ago?" He asked me. I tried to think back to that time. Chris and I hadn't even met yet, but I couldn't think of anything illegal that I had done.

"No sorry I uh don't, am I getting arrested?" I blurted out. I covered my mouth right after I said that shit!

"What no! Sorry, Trevor could you go get him?" The officer asked turning towards the other officer. I almost forgot he was there. He started walking away, and I was raking my brain trying to remember what the fuck happened three and a half years ago, that would cause the police to be looking for me. The officer must have sensed my confusing, because he started explaining.

"Do you remember a Reese Chambers?" He asked me. I almost dropped to my knees just thinking about him, thank God Chris noticed, and had his arm around me.

"Y-yes." I Said barely audible. He nodded his head. "Do you remember November seventeenth?" He asked. That date seemed familiar, but what could it be? I started going back in my head, and then the other officer Trevor walked back up with a little boy. He had shortish black hair, and icy blue eyes like mine.

"Oh my God!" I exclaimed. The little boy was holding onto the officers hand, and this time I really did drop to my knees.

"Tristen!" I cried out and opened my arms. He let go of the officers hand, and ran into my arms. I just held him tightly to me, and cried. I hadn't seen Tristen since the day I gave birth to him, and Reese took him away from me as soon as we were able to leave the hospital. He told me if I ever told anyone then he would find me, and kill me.

That killed me inside Reese took the only thing that mattered most to me, and he didn't even want me to have the baby, as soon as he found out I was pregnant he wanted me to get an abortion, and I refused to. He took Tristen away from me right before Thanksgiving, and it took me months before I could even leave my house. I didn't do anything for the holidays, nothing. I just sat in my house and laid in bed. Not long after that I met Chris, and my life changed for the better. Chris knew about Reese, but I never told him about Tristen.

"What happened to Reese?" I asked the officers standing up, and picking Tristen up in my arms.

"Sadly he was murdered, he owed people money, and well he didn't pay up. We found this little one hiding in the bathroom. Scared to death, and clinging to a picture." I ruffled my little boys hair a little bit. "Luckily we found the person who shot Reese, and he will be in prison for a while, but I am very sorry for your loss." The officer apologized.
