"Christina, I'm sorry." Bobby said placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Bobby, please; don't go." I cried out.

"I can't do this anymore, I can't be with you." He kissed my cheek and walked the other direction. I grabbed his wrist and pulled him into tight hug. Tears rolling down my face, heart beating fast, and I'm breathing really hard. I don't know what I did or what is really happening, but I can't lose him. "Christina..."

"What about Piper? She can't lose you either." He gave me a sour face.

"She'll go on just as far without me."

"Bobby, please!" I pecked his lips hoping it would help.

"I wish that could be enough.." He let go and walked outside. I stood there shocked for a minute or two before running after him.

"Bobby!" I desperately shouted after him.  He started his car then backed out. He was too busy looking at me being heart broken than at the road. Next thing I saw was a huge truck smashing into the side of the car. "BOBBY, NO!"

"Christina! Christina!" Someone's voice was calling me. "Baby, c'mon wake up." I opened my eyes to see it was just a nightmare. "Gosh, you're sweating." Bobby was next to me holding my hand. I sat up and hugged him so tight.  "It was just a dream."

"It was so bad, oh my gosh. I love you so much,  please don't ever leave Piper and I."

"I would never leave you and Piper, you're my family; that's all that matters."

"It felt so real."

"It's okay, it's okay. " He rubs my back.

"Mommy?" I hear little six year old Piper walk in the room with her purple blanket and teddy bear that's dressed like Link. It amazes me how fast she's growing up.

"Yes, darling?" I wiped the tears on my cheeks. I glanced at the alarm clock that read 3:30am. "Honey, it's late, what are you doing awake?"

"I heard you crying and I thought you'd like a hug." She smiled wide and opened her arms.

"Come here, baby doll." Bobby said as he picked her up and sat her between us. I gave her a hug and rested my head on hers.

"Mama just had a bad dream, and it scared her." I assured her.

"Can I sleep here so you don't have any more?" She said in a cute voice.

"Well of course, how could I say no to that face." I pinched her little cheeks.

"Goodnight Mommy, goodnight Daddy." She yawned and started drifting to sleep.

"Goodnight, sweetie." We both said. Bobby and Piper were knocked out in a matter of minutes but I couldn't get that dream out of my mind. After about an hour of thinking wildy to myself, I decided to get a drink of water. I scooted my way out of the bed without waking them and went to the kitchen. I got a glass out of the cupboard and poured some water from the sink.

"What are you doing awake?" I jumped at the sound of Bobby's voice.

"Gosh, you scared me. I couldn't sleep so I got some water."

"Is it that dream that's bothering you?"

"Yeah, Bobby; you were leaving Piper and I for good, then when you were driving away a truck smashed into you and-"

"That explains why you kept mumbling my name in your sleep."

"What if one day you do leave me?"

"That won't happen, because you see this?" He held my hand and rubbed the ring on my finger. "I gave you this so we could be together forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever." I smiled and squeezed him in a hug.

"I want food."

"Pancakes?"

"Pancakes."
