My Every Breath{Criss Angel Fanfic.}

~Twenty-One~

Everyone loaded into the RV, I checked the tires one more time before hopping aboard...and when I looked in between the car dolly that had my car on it, I saw the Honda Shadow bolted to the bike carrier...I touched it lightly as a few tears came into my eyes without them falling from my face...then didn't say a word as I entered the vehicle and told JD everything was ready, and it was time to head home...so I could get this nightmare over with. Mom stayed in the back bedroom with Johnny and played Go-Fish with him on the bed while petting Hammie and Houdini. Klayton was on the couch with Rachel by his side and Stutter sleeping on his lap while watching Godzilla again.

Kim was sitting in the passenger seat holding onto JD's free hand, and just chatting with him to keep him company. Costa was actually bummed out a little bit because he really liked being on the ranch, and he missed hanging with Tommy already...they made very good buddies during our stay there...because they enjoyed the exact same things. So he was just sitting in the recliner taking a nap. Me I couldn't settle down for anything, as the hours went by and the closer we got to our destination, I knew I was going to snap and blow up on Shaunyl for doing this to me. Kc couldn't handle my roaming anymore and grabbed my shirt and pulled me down on her lap and wrapped her arms around me and told me to settle down before she hog-tied me to the couch.

I managed to snicker a little bit and realized that she was rather comfortable so I laid my head back into her chest and closed my eyes for a while and tried to relax, as she gently rubbed my head in slow circular motions, which did calm me down fairly quickly. I looked up at her and gave her a tiny smooch and thanked her then said I did feel better. Kc smiled down at me and kissed the tip of my nose and told me that she had a feeling if I said the right things to Shaunyl, that she would change her mind and give me more time with my son...then added with a smile, if I could manage to keep my temper under control, and give her a little country charm.

The trip seemed to move a lot faster going home than it did leaving Vegas...but that was just because I knew I was dreading it. For it was a 15-hour drive from Kc's ranch to Las Vegas, and we had been driving for over 7 hours already with many breaks, food, and gas stops, but we had fun too, playing cards, and listening to some music. We traded driver's several times already, that way each of us got some good rest in between. It was now my turn to drive, and we were almost dead center of Colorado working our way to the Colorado/Utah border. During our drive thru the mountains of Colorado, Kc got a little sick from the instant altitude change, so Stoney took over driving and I carried her back to the small bedroom and made it cool and dark in there for her and laid with her for a while until I got her relaxed.

We both ended up falling asleep in each other's arms when Johnny quietly came into the room and crawled up on the bed in between us and snuggled in and went to sleep with Hammie tucked in his arms. I laid my hand on his head and rubbed him gently as he made me feel comforted knowing that my little man was still with me. I even noticed Kc hugging him as she slept peacefully next to us. I looked deeply at her and realized at that moment I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.

I soon felt the RV come to a stop and wondered if it was my turn to drive again, but Klayton came into the room and said we just stopped to let Houdini go potty at a rest area and to let mom and everyone stretch their legs a little bit before hitting the road again. I shook my head at him as Johnny slid out from under me and Kc and wanted Klayton to hold him and take him outside so he could run and play for a little bit. I playfully rolled over on top of Kc and gave her a few butterfly kisses and asked her if she felt like going for a walk with me before we headed out again. She gave me a smile and pulled me down on her and nibbled on my ear, then said OK.

After I hopped out of the RV Kc came up behind me and jumped on my back and comically asked me to carry her...I chuckled as I held my arms behind me so I could balance her as I gave her a piggy-back ride. Klayton was racing with Rachel around the building...I didn't notice at first but the reason she was chasing him so frantically was that he somehow managed to get her shirt off, and she was running around in her sports-bra telling him that she was going to kick his ass when she caught him...which definitely set the mood to a little more humor. Kim was holding hands with JD and Johnny holding onto his other hand just while they were walking around other traveler's that had very large dogs running loose. I made it over to where Costa and mom were slowly walking and Kc slid down to give me a breather, not that I needed it, she was as light as a feather. Johnny let go of his uncle's hand and scampered as fast as he could to me, but he was pretty far away from me...when a huge dog caught sight of him and raced toward him...Kc screamed and my heart stopped.
