The next day, I woke Lexi at seven in the morning. She quickly got dressed and ready for school, deciding she'd wear the chibi Adventure Time shirt she made me buy.

Her and I walked down the hall where Kyle was sitting at the counter with a cup of black coffee, like every morning.

"I'll take her today, it's your day off," I said, grinning at my beautiful boyfriend. Kyle grinned back.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I don't mind." I kissed him on his soft, perfect lips."I love you very very much!"

"I love you too, baby." He laughed,then lifted my shirt up. Kyle kissed my swollen tummy."And I love you also!"

"I still think we should see what gender the baby is." I said, helping Lexi get her stuff together.

"No, surprises are more fun! Just like the pregnancy." He mumbled the last part and I laughed.

"Should've used a condom," Lexi shook her head slowly.

Kyle burst out laughing,"Lexi, you kill me!" He snorted.

I rolled my eyes."Don't add fuel to the fire! She doesn't need to be talking about stuff like that at her age!"

"Haha, well anyway, bye Lexi. Love you." Kyle giggled.

"Love you too, Kyle." She said, going out the door. I sighed, seeing his shoulders slump.

"I wish she'd call me dad..." Kyle sighed. I kissed him.

"Don't worry. She just needs to get more comfortable around you." I said."See ya,"

"Bye, sweetheart." He replied. After blowing a kiss to him, I grabbed my keys and walked outside.

I still had my four door truck, and it still has a dent from when Toby kicked it.

Lexi was already buckled up and ready when I got in."Ready, honey?"
"Yeah mom."
I pulled out of the drive way and drove her to school.

"Kyle! Kyle, I'm back!" I shouted into the house as I walked in. I set my coat and purse on the counter."Hellooo?"
"Yeah! I'm in the nursery," He replied, loud enough for me I hear from down the hall. I walked to the nursery, to see him sitting in the rocking chair and looking out the window.

"Kyle? You okay?" I questioned. He looked down.
"Brooke. I feel like something bad is going to happen." Kyle looked at me, his eyes showing how serious he was. I frowned.
"Why do you say that.?"
"I can just... feel it."
I speed walked to where he was sitting and hugged him tightly, still standing.
"I love you.."
"I love you, too, Brooke."
I pulled away and kissed him softly.
"We'll be okay, okay?" I whispered. Kyle nodded and I glanced around the baby's room. It was blue and pink, in case it was a boy, or a girl.
"Have you been feeling okay?" He asked me. I nodded.
"Yeah. They've only kicked a few times," I chuckled.
"Aw!" He cooed."Our kids are gonna be perfect!"
I giggled.
"Lexi's perfect too! Our little family will be amazing!" Kyle exclaimed, a light blush making its way to his cheeks.
I smiled.
"Well, I'm going to make a frozen pizza, would you like a piece when it's done?"
"Are you gonna put all of that stuff on it again?"
I nodded."Yeah."
"Then no." Kyle said.
"Why? All of the stuff I put on there is healthy, I think."
"Exactly why I don't want it."

I rolled my eyes and waved him off, walking out of the room to the kitchen. When I got there, I opened the freezer and took out the box with the pizza inside of it, then threw it on the counter.
After taking it out of its box and wrapping, I put the pizza on a metal tray. Next, I grabbed a green pepper, some black olives, bacon, and some more cheese. I chopped the onions, heated up the bacon, chopped the black olives, and sprinkled the cheese all over the pizza. I put all of my 'special ingredients' on the pizza, then put it in the oven. I turned the nobs on the oven to the right temperature, then set the timer.
"Okay.. Until that's done,I'll go sit with Kyle." I murmured to myself. I walked down the hall, rubbing my occupied stomach.
When I got to the nursery, I noticed Kyle wasn't there.
"Kyle?" I said, my voice loud enough for him to hear me through out the entire house.

No answer.

"Babe," I said again, raising my voice a little more.

Still no reply.

I frowned softly, then checked every room around the house. Kyle wasn't in any of them.
"He can't be in the basement.. He never does laundry," I muttered. I shrugged and opened the basement door anyway, and as soon as I did, a horrible stench invaded my nose.
It reeked of blood.
I made my way down the stairs, trying not to fall. I couldn't really see my feet, my stomach stuck out like I swallowed a watermelon.
The smell got worse as I got to the last step. Our basement was huge, so I checked in many places.
The basement was finished, with a couch and a TV, along with some of Lexi's toys.
As I looked down at Lexi's toys, I realized that there was something on the wall that wasn't there before. My eyes flicked up, widening immediately.

'The past will come back to haunt you...' was written in blood, above the box of Barbie dolls. I shrieked, praying that the blood in front of me wasn't Kyle's.
"No... No..." I panicked. I checked everywhere, except the little closet by the washer and drier.
I crossed my fingers, hoping to the God I don't believe in that Kyle's body wasn't in there. Tears dropped from my eyes at the thought.
I slowly grabbed the doorknob. Then, I turned it, pulling the wooden door open.

What I saw before me crushed my heart.

There Kyle was, his hands chopped off, along with his feet. I looked a little closer to see that there was a huge slice in his head, showing his skull and brain. The sight made my stomach turn, causing me to turn away and vomit on the beige, shag carpet.
After throwing up, I sobbed. I kept sobbing, my heart shattering as I did.

How could this happen?!

I turned back around and crawled into the closet. I held his limo body close to me, sniffling and whining. I kept repeating, 'why, why, why, why?'.
"Baby..."I stammered, my tears dripping into him."Baby, I love you, so much.."

I wanted to just wreck all things around me, to scream out and plead the universe to leave me the fuck alone, but unfortunately, I couldn't do that. I had to try to be strong. For this baby, for Kyle, and for Lexi.

I was going to find out who did this. And make them pay.
