Tennessee Wraith Chaser Love Story

22

Arriving home I saw Mikes truck but Porter's truck was gone . I guess they are still out .
So I went in stripped in the utility room dropped my scrubs in the wash and went to the bedroom to go shower
I turned the water on waited for it to get hot then climbed in oh this feels so good I thought
I finished my shower got dressed in a pair of jeans , boots and one of Porters flannel shirts I needed to run an errand I needed to pick up some things for Mikes birthday even though he was going to be on the road during his birthday Jen had said when they came back she was having a party for him and since I was working the whole month I needed to get it now.
I was coming down the hallway when it happened again I saw a figure in the living room same one from last time at my place
Slowly I walked towards it I rounded the corner it was still standing there I could make out the arms, head ,no feet.
Who the hell is it I thought as I got closer
I stood there it looked at me I swear it said there are three and then it disappeared
My heart was thumping in my chest then I felt weak like I couldn't stand I leaned against the wall and slid down it
What did I just see who was it and what did it mean there are three
I felt so so drained like all the energy I had was gone
It took me five or so minutes to recover enough to get up and find my phone
Once standing I walked to the kitchen and got my phone I was about to text when They came through the door
Allie your home Mike said
Yeah I am
Allie what's wrong the look you have says something is wrong is it the baby
Whoa what Baby Mike said
No it's not the baby ... I saw it Again
What again
The apparition
Whoa where , when
In the living room
Okay was it the same one as before
Yes right down to the same clothes but this time  it said there are three the first time I saw it , it said there are four
What
There will be three
Three what he asked
I don't know Porter but what ever this is we need to figure it out
Yes we do
Can I ask a question Mike said
Yes what
What Baby are you pregnant am I going to be an uncle Mike asked his eyes were dancing
Do you think we should tell him I said with a smile
Only if he can kept it quite Porter said
I can I can Mike said
Okay we are adopting a baby the little one will be here in 2 1/2 months we don't know what it is but we do know they have Down syndrome and the mother has three children all ready
Wow adopting that is wonderful Mike said with a huge smile then he said so I'm gonna be an uncle
Yes you are Mike now let's just keep this between us in case it falls through okay Mike
Alright I will so it will be November when the baby is born
Yes November 17 is the due date
When will be the announcement
Most likely the end of October
So when are y'all tying the knot he asked
Mike I said
What Allie you two belong together so before the baby is born or after he asked
Mike listen I'm already asking enough of Porter to be a dad to a baby that isn't his I think that is enough for now
Do you want to marry him he asked
Yes I do Mike honestly I never thought I would ever fall in love again after what happened but Porter was very patience with me even after we finally admitted it to each other that we love each other , When I lost the baby that we didn't even know we were expecting he helped me heal from it. I will never forget that baby but I know better things are in store for us
Porter smiled  I couldn't have said it better Allie over the past year things have change for the better both of us have grown from our past and learned what love is again You have became someone that my son loves and adores my son and loves him as her own
And yes Mike one day we will get married might be sooner than later
As for the baby Mike please keep that to yourself for now we won't know until closer to when the baby is born is we are going to be the parents
Okay I will so let's talk about this apparition
Well I can draw it if you would like let me get my sketch pad and pencil so I did and came back with in about 10 minutes I drew what I saw
Handed it over to them
Whoa they both said

Yes both times here and at home
Do you know who this is I asked
Yes I do it's my great grandfather Porter said
What I said
Yeah you have Drawn him so well
Now what did he say
That there will be three
Three what he replied
I don't know but I remember when he came last time he said there will be 4 and then this time he said 3 I don't know what he is talking about or what he means
We talked a little while longer then Mike got a texted from Jen so he left

Are you alright Porter asked
Yes now that you are home , why would your Great Grandfather be visiting?
I'm not sure but we will figure this out together .
Hey your wearing my shirt
Ha yes I am I was headed out to get a couple of gifts for Mike's Birthday next month since I'm gonna be working the whole month I didn't know if I would have time
Smart girl you are working the whole month he asked
Yes since you are going to be gone this way I could be home a lot more with you and since the baby is due in November.
How about I go with you and we can check out things for the baby , I still have Dylan's Crib from when he was little so we can use that , would need a mattress and sheets
Alright I have a dresser that is in the other garage that needs to be refinished or painted depending on the crib that we can use
Okay I can work on that when I get home from the road he said
