Chapter 1.
Right in the heart of Crystal Cove stood a two story house, over looking the great lake that seemed from a glance to have no ending. The backyard was the best outside feature. On balcony off the master bedroom sat two wooden rocking chairs that faced that breath taking few of the lake where many sunset sightings took place. The lush green grass wrapped from the front of the house to the backyard. A hamick was gently swinging from the calm breeze off the lake. The young family enjoyed ever inch of this house, they'd worked so hard fixing it up from the wreck it had first been. Nearly two years later it's sparking from basement to roof. "Honey, I'm home!" shouted the muscular, tall blond man, as he walked in the door after a long day at work. Exhausted he threw he breif case at the foot of the living area and feel backwards, the couch catching him. "Daph?" Fred's voice echoed through the house once more. Hearing no reply from his wife he leaped onto his sore feet and walked into the kitchen. "Daphne, are you home?" he called. There was no sign of dinner on the table anytime soon, the kitchen was clean as when he left it before the break of dawn this morning. He made his way into the laundry room, where he noticed all the laundry had been folded and was neatly sitting in the basket waiting to be put away. But still no sign of his wife. He dragged himself up the stairs hoping to find her sorting through her scrapbooks or in her office happily doing what she does best, wrtting. A sad look washed over his face after opening both doors and discovering the rooms were empty. At the this rate he was ready to sit down and just cry about it. He was so tired, it made him more emotional, which he was in no way a fan of. "Daphne where are you.." he sighed. He walked deeper into his bedroom taking off his tie and buttoned shirt with long sleeves, he slipped on his light blue tshirt that he often wore around the house but lefted he black slacks on after taking off his shoes. He glanced out the window looking at the shimiring lake with the sun beginning to sit. He opened the glass french doors and stepped out to take a breath of the fresh air. Smiling as he looked over the balcony spotting his gorgeous red head wife who was sitting in the sand letting the breeze run through her hair. Fred sighed a big relief, knowing she was okay was the greatest feeling in the world. Watching her from the distants brought flashbacks in his mind. The day when they he propesed to her near that same spot. Where they cried so many times together, and finally got married. He smirked when he recalled the memory of their werewolf days. He loved the life he was living now, but he couldn't lie. Things were harder once they got married. A lot changes. Bills, jobs, and trying to keep the roof over their heads was a challenge with the bad econemy. But loving each other more and more each day was the one thing that was never hard to do for the couple. Through all of it thick and thin they had one anothers back and would take a bullet for each other, regardless of the case.
He turned away from the view, and made his way through the house to the outside. Walking to Daphne, once he was within ten foot of her he paused. Just taking a moment to breath and watch her soft slik like, red hair that drifted gently in the breeze. He continued to walk towards her, and stopped a few steps behind.
"Daph?" he spoke softly. Daphne didn't answer, only turned around to see him. Fred noticed her teary eyes, with one lone tear sliding down her chin. "Daphne, what's wrong?" he asked, taking a seat beside her in the sand. "Come on, talk to me Daphne." he begged, taking her hand into his own. She just kept staring at the ground. Finally Fred took his hands and cupped her face with them, her eyes met his, at last. She bit her bottom lip as another tear feel from her eye. "I-I can't tell you Freddie." she whipered. Fred scooped her into his arms, and rested her back where she could look into his eyes. "You know you can tell me anything." he said, knowing what this was really about. "It's too hard to talk about.." she cried, burrying her head into his chest, and beginning to sob again. Fred ran his hands through her red hair. Holding her tight and close in his arms. Just like he'd done for so long before now. "You know we'll see her again someday, Daphne.." he whispered in her hear. "Why does it have to hurt so bad?" she cried, sobbing even harder. "Because we loved her dearly, Daphne. But God has a reason for her not being here with us today." He explained, trying to hold back his own tears that were beating him to escape. Staying strong for Daphne was so important. He had to do it, for her. "It's been almost been a..a year..it gets harder everyday.." she said through her sobbing. Fred kissed the top of her head, just keeping her tight in his arms, giving her exactly what she needed, love. He had remembered the day as if it was yesterday.
FLASHBACK
"Mr. & Mrs. Jones, I'm so sorry but we can't seem to find a heartbeat.." the doctor said.
"No.." Daphne whimpered.
"There must be some mistake" Fred said, standing up from his seat in beside Daphne's small bed in the office.
"I only wish it was.." he sighed. "There's more you should know" he began. Fred froze as the doctor glannced at his clip board then looked up at the couple, Daphne already in tears and Fred still in shock standing, just staring at the doctor, waiting to here his news, praying to God that it was a mistake. "Daphne, I'm not sure you and Fred will ever have a child, this baby was a miracle itself. I'm so sorry.." he finished. Daphne was silently sobbing with her face in her hands. Fred fell into his chair, with tears beginning to roll down his cheeks. Their whole world had just dropped.
"Again, I'm very sorry. I wish only the best for the two of you." With that he turned away and walked out into the busy hallway, shutting the door behind him. Leaving the couple to cry alone together.
Fred buried his head in his lap, sobbing. Thirty minutes later Daphne raised her head, and placed her hand on Fred's back, rubbing him softly. "Are you okay Freddie.." she asked shaky in her words. Fred sniffled, and looked up at his wife. He looked so exhausted, dark circles under his eyes, and tears where still rushing out of his eyes. He shook his head. "I don't know Daphne.." he cried. She made a faint smile at her heartbroken husband. Before the smile turned into tears again, she opened her arms out for him, Fred couldn't resist the offer, he collapsed into her arms. Both crying together. After thirty more minutes passed, by slowly, Fred found the little strength in himself to get up and take him and his wife home to rest.
END OF FLASHBACK
Fred knew how hard it was on Daphne. She'd tried so hard to make life as normal as possible, but there wasn't a day that went by where their dear daughter they lost too soon wasn't on their minds. Fred managed the pain better than his poor wife. She was still broken. Broken because the loss of her daughter, and that she would never be able to give what Fred wanted more than anything, a child of his own.
"It's only been a year Daphne. The pain is still so fresh. It's going to take a long time to feel better, and we'll never really not hurt for her. She was our daughter, of course we're going to miss her. We loved her. She was ours. We wanted to have her so bad. But we'll get better. I promise it won't always be this bad, honey. " he said calmly to his wife, as she began to breath normally again, and the sobs became soft tears. His voice calmed her down, made her feel safe and she knew everything would be okay. As long as she had him.
"I'm sorry, I'm such a mess Freddie.." she said. Fred hugged her. "Don't apologize for anything Daphne, you're no mess. You're broken right now..but perfect." Daphne broke away from his arms and turned to his face. "Thank you for loving me Freddie." she said. Fred leaned, pressing his lips againest hers. "It's easy to love you..." he truthfully said. Making her smile. Fred scooped her up into his arms. She giggled. "What are you doing?" she asked. "Taking you in before it gets darker and a werewolf comes after us. " he teased.
They laughed about it now, but then it was no joke.
Little did they know, a pair of eyes glow, watching them from a distants, hidden in the dark.
