Should this be said about fear?
I wish I knew. All that I know is that changes are often very scary, especially if you do not know where you are heading.
Though we are heading back to where it all started…well, that is for me, and perhaps for this chapter in Tyler’s life. But the only thing that I can say is that I have not seen him so happy in a while. The happiness that is radiating from his face brings a warmth to my heart.
I just wished that he had told me this sooner then none of this would have happened. But as we have come to known is that if there is a monster out there that is waiting for you, he will come; no matter what, he will find you.
Well, I can, with all honesty, say that there will be no more monsters coming my way. So in a way, we are getting a clean start but only back where we truly wanted to be, or should I say where w

…Jenna POV… We are finding ourselves stopped on the side of the road, well, not because we have broken down, but to relive the moments of old memories. I can remember those days as if it was only yesterday; if it was not me, then it was Tyler that could not keep our hands off each other. A simple three-hour ride would normally have taken us almost five. But it seems that memory is not going to happen today, for there is a car that is pulling up from behind us. Now I have a dress shoved over my breasts, and Tyler has his pants almost down to his knees. And if we thought we were fast to compose ourselves, we are totally wrong, for next, there is a voice from behind scaring the shit out of me. “Whoa, for one second there, I thought you needed some help, but this is something that I cannot help you with.” As Tyler has his pants on in mere seconds, he spins around to face the person that has only but ruined our fun for today. “What the fuck are you doing h

…Jenna POV…I am fourteen weeks pregnant now.The morning sickness has mostly passed, and I am starting to feel the best parts of being an expecting mother. I have stopped counting how many times Tyler rubs my belly a day. He has, in the times that I really get sick, he has started reading to our baby. We decided that we do not want to know what the sex of the baby is, even though I still firmly believe it is a boy. We need something to look forward to, not only the pregnancy but the joy of a surprise.So it is with great difficulty that I am finding something to wear. Even though I do not keep much in these days, I have grown rather bigger than what Tyler likes to refer to as a bus. This rules out the option of trying to fit into one of my favorite skinny jeans completely out. With much frustration, I slip on my very favorite dress and meet up with Tyler that is patiently jumping out of his skin."I have always love that dress," he says as

…Jenna POV…Tyler has just gone and called the Doctor back now; to say that I am not beyond scared would be an understatement. What has he seen that has got him so alarmed? The anticipation is nearly killing me as he finally arrives with the Doctor dragged by the arm."Okay,” Tyler starts. “Am I seeing right?"The Doctor studies the monitor for only but a second; then, he nods at Tyler. “Yes, Mr. Moore, you are right.” The Doctor pauses for a while. “This is rather the wrong way around for this to happen. Now, do you want to tell your wife?”Tyler looks at me rather shocked and not knowing what to say, yet after a few moments in silence, he finally mumbles underneath his breath, “Do you want to know the gender of the babies?”I only but shake my head at him, “I told you I don’t want to know until the day.” There is a slight irritation that is building inside, I told him

…Tyler POV…The moment he stepped through the door, there was a fear that consumed my eyes and spread like wildfire to the rest of my body. I have not seen him in so many years, but he looks exactly like his brother. In fact, they are twins, and for the life of me, I could never tell them apart.He left town years ago; he was the same type of evil his brother was. Wherever he set his foot, there was bound to be trouble, and the way he played with the woman around town was rather the same way that his brother…God, I do not even want to think of it.All I know is that I need to get out of this room; it has grown rather small and suffocating. And I want to take Jenna out before she turns around and sees him, for it will set the fear of horror into her body.So I only nod to Sandra as she speaks from underneath her breath, “I will get the Deputy to sort him out.”With that, Jenna wants to turn and see who it is that we

I have never felt so much fear at on single moment in my life. The mere thought of having to see someone that looks like Luke terrifies the shit out of me. So, needless to say, what was a joyful day is now sadly gone sour. However, I am yet to understand this.“Are they that similar then?”Then he goes all hesitant and quiet again, and as he sees the frustration in my eyes, he lays his hand gently on mine, “They are twins.”Well, that there is just the end of me, but still, “What is he doing in town?”Tyler seems to grow some bit angry, not by my questions, but by the presence of this man, “I will find that out tomorrow. I cannot understand why nobody has told me about this.” Then he squeezes an inch harder on my hand, “Don’t worry; I will sort it out. I just want you to be happy, so please, do not worry about any of this.”And with that, I fall into the comfort of his arms, then und

They say a man’s life flashes before his eyes when he is staring death in the face; well, I say it is bullshit. All that is staring me in the face are the barrels of a Ruger. Now, did I foresee this happening? Well, of course, I did not come here to have a goddamn tea party. What was a casual exchange of threats has now only stepped up one level to where I am about to have my head blown off. Yet, Luke underestimates my determination.I have come too far and too long to have Jenna by my side; there shall be no one that comes between us. Now, if Luke does not want to listen, then I shall kindly remind him again.“You can go right ahead and blow my brains out as much as you like, but you will not go near my wife, Luke.”Well, now if I thought that he would listen, it only makes him more furious. With somewhat of a slight tremble, his voice reaches a pitch higher and echoes to every corner of the room, “Oh, believe me, I am going to blow your

So as I close my eyes and squeeze them real tight, slowly I flutter them open again…“Luke?”Then from deep within in this man’s chest comes a rumble, “Why is she the only one who seems to know who I really am?”With that, Tyler steps in front of me, shielding me from a man that is supposed to be dead. Though my question is, “How? How can you be alive?”He only but smirks at me, “Oh, my dear Jenna, my brother grew obsessed, and he was the one that holds you captive in that barn.”From underneath Tyler’s breath, there is anger that only starts growing, “Bullshit, Luke. You were fucking behind it from the start.”“Tyler,” Luke only snaps at him, “Why would I hurt the woman that I love?”And yes, that Luke should not have said, for next T

I would simply die if I could not be with her."Can I kiss you?""You are so polite in asking.""I cannot go…"I place my fingers against his soft lips and wrap his face in my hands.

Faith is about believing. You don't know how it will happen, but it will happen.Sebastian is sitting next to me, holding my hand so tight that it is becoming numb. He has dozed off and looks so peaceful as he is sleeping. I do not want to wake him up; he has not had a decent night's rest in what seems to be ages. He stays up every night, every day; he is awake almost every waking moment looking after me. He needs these few moments.I am writing this letter as a token of my love to him, as a keepsake for him to treasure, and as a reminder of my commitment to us and to our life together."To my dear love,I want you to know that I love you, ALL OF YOU, and I always will. I am committed to our marriage until death does us part. At times, in moments of deep frustration, I may have questioned otherwise, but that was my immature way of seeking love from you when I should have been looking for you to fill the void in my temporarily wandering heart.Belov
Chasing Broken Destinies Strength Grows In Moments
...Jenna POV....Strength grows in the moments that you think you cannot go on, but keep going on anyway.That is so much easier said than done.This morning I do not have the strength to do anything at all. Even the dreaded steps that I need to the bathroom every time my body decides to give in is even too much for me.Much to Tyler's horror, I started getting really sick throughout the night. Now, this morning I wish I can say it is because I have morning sickness, but somehow I do not think it could ever be so bad.What is bad is Tyler insisting on holding my hand every time I do. I so wish that he did not have to go through this; in fact, I do wish that I did not have to go through this. But I guess that this is the hand that we have been dealt, and even though it is incredibly unfair, I need to find that strength that Tyler wants me to.But I can't.The sad thing is, I am going to die.So as Tyler takes me back for what se

…Tyler POV…So it has begun.We have been married for four months now, and it feels like just four months ago that we overcame this battle. In fact, through all the craziness of the past four months, it only but feels like we have come full circle. We are right back to where we have started.Well, almost.Jenna has Cancer.There is a lot of speculation and so many unanswered questions.This time, I am not worried about myself; this time, I am worried about the babies, and most of all, I am concerned about Jenna. I do not even know, and I have not even dared to ask what the chances are for Jenna to carry a full-term pregnancy. I guess being left in the unknown sometimes is far easier than having to know all the answers. For once, I can honestly say that I do not wish to know any of them at all.The only question?Where do I find not one but two miracles?Well, I am searching, but by judging the fact at the r
Chasing Broken Destinies The Quiet Before The Storm

This is not something that one comes back from unscathed. I need Jenna to know that we are okay. This may not be tonight, tomorrow, or the next day, but everything is going to be okay.Now let me tell you a story of a man so lost and incomplete that he dwelled for years in trying to find that one thing that he eluded him so, love. The man that tells you that they do not desire to experience love and not be love in return is not only a liar and a fool. The craving to be loved is a desire that every man wants. I have that love for Jenna, and I know that she has that love for me. We can overcome all of this; we need to be strong.I, myself, am a strong person, but eve
Chasing Broken Destinies Four Lives Into The Unknown
...Jenna POV...We are getting the results of the tests back today.As I am sitting and waiting for Tyler in the bedroom, I can hear as he and the Doctor are having a full-blown argument over the phone. I saw that crushed look on his face when we left the Doctor's room the other day. He is feeling defeated once more again as we have entered the unknown. So he is at heads with the Doctor because they have not received the results. He is hurting once more again, and do I even dare to say it is my fault.So as I see him step through the door, it crushes my heart to pieces. His shoulders are slump, with his head hanging down to the floor. I can see his hands are trembling, and his knuckles are red; he must have hit the wall. The Tyler I know would not have done it; this is a broken man. I don't know where his pieces are to put him back together again. But as his eyes meet my concerned face, he forms the weakest of smiles around his lips. At least he is trying, but I
