Chapter 55 - "Where's my wife?"

While Craig slept in his hotel bed, he heard the door to his room open. He lifted up to see who it was, but he couldn't see anyone. Suddenly, he seen Rose walk in with the babies. She was crying. Craig lifted up from his bed and met her at the door, not caring if he woke any of his teammates or not.

"What's wrong, Rose?" Craig asked, sitting in front of a chair with her.

"I'm.........i'm sorry...." Rose cried. "I just don't want anything to happen to the babies!"

"What are you talking about, Rose?" Craig asked.

"I don't want to argue anymore." Rose sighed. "Just come home. Please come home."

"Of course I will." Craig said, grabbing her hand.

But the minute he touched her hand, she poofed away, waking him all the way up from his dream.

"Rose?" Craig gasped, jumping out of his sleep and looking around.

But Rose was nowhere to be found. Everytime he was away from her, he'd always have some crazy dream about her. It was because she stayed on his mind 24/7 when she wasn't up under him, kissing him, and nagging in his ear. He got out of the bed, walked outside in the hotel lobby, then called his own home phone. However, the phone went straight to voicemail. This caught Craig's attention immediately.

"Hey. It's Craig!" He heard himself say on the other line. "Leave a message!"

*beep*

"Um. Hey Rose." Craig said, scratching the back of his head. "We're in Milwaukee and uh...you haven't called me since I left. I know that you're probably still mad but, I was hoping that we could talk. Okay. Bye."

Today, was the day that Rose was going to drive the babies to their doctors appointment for their first check up. It was early in the morning, so Craig was expecting a call. But for the whole entire morning, he didn't get a single call. Thinking that it wasn't a big deal, he shrugged it off and decided to go to practice. But after a long dinner that stretched out through the evening and the night, he still didn't recieve a call from Rose. He called the house phone again, but he still didn't recieve an answer. When he returned to the hotel, he called the babies doctor to see if they came.

"Hello, Dr. Meyers." The woman on the other line said. "Who's speaking?"

"Hello Dr. Meyers it's Craig!" Craig smiled. "I wanted to know if Rose showed up for her appointment today? With the babies?"

"Unfortunately, no. I'm sorry." Mrs. Meyers sighed. "What happened?"

Craig was starting to was starting to get a little worried. He covered up his face, then placed a small grin on his face.

"O-Okay......." Craig sighed. "Thank you!"

Craig hung up the phone, scared as ever. He decided to call Violet and see if she heard from her at all.

"Hello?" Violet answered.

"Hello Violet." Craig cheered in a nervous tone. "It's Craig."

"Craig!" Violet cheered. "I haven't heard from you in a while! What's up?"

"Nothing I uh.......I wanted to know if you heard from Rose?" Craig said. "I haven't talked to her in 2 days and its worrying me a little."

"I haven't talked to Rose since our little incident. She's a complete bitch." Violet said, shaking her head. "She doesn't appreciate me as an older sister when I try to look out for her so I just stopped talking to her."

"Come on, Violet." Craig sighed. "You guys are sisters."

"Well she doesn't like to treat me like one." Violet snarled. "Anyway, what's the problem?"
