Dear Journal,       June 6
Hello my old friend. So much as been going on that a part of me not sure what to believe. I guess I getting ahead of myself. I should tell you from the beginning. I took Ruby to school today. Normally I would have the bus take her but I needed to do a few things. I figured I would take her to school. I told Ruby “goodbye” and headed to see my friend. She was the lady who lost her husband in a boat trip. It was really hard on her. We had time to see her and tell her how deeply sorry we were. That wasn’t the interesting part of it. I finished doing some shopping and other random things needed to be done. I was minding my own business when a young lady came up to me and asked me if I was Mrs. Midnight. I looked at her and told her yes. I asked her why she asked but she softly grew silent for a while. I was a little worried but slowly she told me what happen. I was in shocked on what she told me that I could barely stand.
I asked her in the house and we went into the living room. I then asked her to tell me what she just said. She said, “Rick and I had a child together. A little boy named Richard. I wanted to let you know that because soon I will be moving away. I don’t know if he said anything but I figured I could say “goodbye” to him. Since I won’t be coming back. I have my reasons to leave. I just wanted to ask if it was ok to do that.”
I looked at her for a moment and didn’t know what to believe. I then asked her if it was true. She nodded her head. I could see there was a lot of pain. I then asked a few more questions. Like why were you leaving and what about the boy. She answered all the questions the best she could. I could tell she was tired and looked like she cried for a long time. After a few hours talking thing over, I let her see Rick for the last time. My undead heart was deeply sad. I don’t know how Rick will be taking this.
~~
Rick’s POV
I was outside the garden, like I always do. Ruby was in school, Chris at work and Scarlet had to do a few things. I took my time working in the garden. I love the feeling of touch plants. I was sick with a cold and for a while I couldn’t do anything. Some of the plants were not looking good and I had to bring them back to life. Then I heard Scarlet call for me. I didn’t know what was up but I came to see what she needed. Most of the time she didn’t bother me unless it was lunch or dinner time.
I asked Scarlet what did she want. She then told me that there was a lady who wanted to see me. I didn’t know what to say. I knew a few ladies in town. Mostly they came to me to ask about gardening tips. I gladly came to help them out if needed. They were some that were old and needed a little help. I figured that was what she wanted me to do. Help one of her friends or some neighbor in our area. I then told her that I would go. She was a little nervous and acted a little weird when I was leaving.
I was about to say something when I saw her. The girl that I once cared and loved. I didn't know she was back or even around. I was shocked and had so many emotions going on. All I could do was stare at her and I felt really weird about it. I didn't know what to do or what to say. She looked at me with sad eyes. I wanted to say I was sorry for all the things I have done but I couldn’t. She knew that. That it wasn’t my fault that happen. Close my eyes for a moment and sighed. Hoping, Praying that she would be gone when I open them. I knew it won’t happen but a part of me wished that.
The she said in sad but sweetest voice ever, “Rick, I’m sorry for putting you through this. I didn’t know this would happen. I truly care for you but I know you belong here. I don’t know what to do about it. What done is done. I just came here to tell you that I am moving far away. I won’t be back. I’m going to make a new life for myself and our son. I wish you could be here with us but I know you are busy. I just wanted you to know that. I’m truly am sorry.”
She looked like she was about to cry but kept it from happening. I felt sad and confused. Why, why is she telling me this now. I thought we broke up or friendship but I didn't know she would come back. A part of me just wanted to let her go but the other part of me wanted her to stay. I just wasn’t sure what to do. All I could say was, I wish you well in life and hope that our son will do well. Then I watch her go and we could hardly say “goodbye.” Just nodded our heads and she was gone. Tears flowed deeply now. That for a moment I don’t remember what was going on. All I knew was, it was going to be a long day.
~~
I saw Rick coming back after a long chat with his past love. Chris came home before Ruby. Ruby was visiting a friend and was doing a homework date as they called it. I wasn’t too worried about her. I was mainly worried about Rick. Rick told Chris and I the whole story. The story of how he met a nice girl. They fall in love and ended up having a child together. He was so worried about loosing his job that he had no choice but to let her go. He told us that she should be with someone who loves her. Who can stand by her side and never leave her. We then told him that he didn’t have to do that. That she was more then welcomed to live with us but sadly it was too late for that now. We were all quiet.
Chris and Rick made themselves come coffee. They tired talking about other things but it seem like it wasn’t helping much. Rick told us that he was going to bed early and headed to his little house. Ruby came home and told us about her day. We told her more or less about our day. Chris then read Ruby a bedtime story and then came in to see me. We talked for a while. How we felt bad about Rick and how soon our little girl was going to be a teenager. I was nervous but Chris told me that everything will be fine. I don’t know but sometimes he seem to know what he was saying. After that we said our “goodnights” and went to bed. Hopeful tomorrow will be a better day.
~~
June 15th
It was Ruby’s birthday. How times flies when your having fun. Speaking of fun, we were trying to find something really exciting to get for Ruby’s birthday. We looked around for a while. Didn’t know what we would get her. Everyone knows they teens wanted cars and what not. We looked for a nice one but not one to break the bank. Specially since we knew when she got older she would be moving out. We also had a great idea on where that would be. That you have to wait on. Meanwhile, Chris and Rick were getting the surprise ready. Ruby was in school and we would do her party after that. She wanted it family only. Not that she didn’t want her friends around but she just wanted it here. We didn’t mind that. Most of her good friends were going to move away. We were really sad about that but knew she would make more.
We got everything ready for her before she came in the door. We wished her a happy birthday and she blew them out. She was a pretty young lady. I worried that she would get a lot of guys after her but for now enjoyed her celebrating at home. Skip was happy and aged up as well. He was a very handsome young dog. We all ate cake and watch a movie. Chris and I talked her about driving. We would help her on it when she wanted us to help her. She was excited and thanked us for the care. She loved the other gifts as well. She practice some acting skills. She wanted to be in the drama club. We told her it would be a wonderful idea. We even asked her to try getting a job to save some money for things she wanted. She worked at the bookstore for a while. It was a lot of hard work but she made it through. We are really proud of her. We said “goodnight” to her and headed to bed. I can’t believe how soon our little girl will be a young adult and live her life the way she wants it.
~~
Well guys, I hope you enjoy this chapter. There might be two more after this. I’m not sure yet. Just because I don’t know what else to talk about since we getting pretty close to when she moved out and what not. Anyways thanks again for understand and enjoy!

Journal Entry 11

Dear Journal,        April 13th
It has been a long time since I remember to come writing on here. I will tell you what had happen since we last talked. Chris asked me three nights ago if I would turn him. My heart was pounding but I gave him my forever death bite. He seem a little in pain and slept for a while. He kept going to work. I was busy taking care of Ruby. I was telling everything she needed to know. She was getting better with talking and even walking now. I was really happy and it seem like she learn how to use the potty chair. Which was good since it was taking a lot of time and energy out of me.
Chris came home and I was still in the nursery with Ruby. Ruby was very needy today. I am not sure why but at least she wasn’t bothered by my new change. A little while after finally getting her to bed, I heard the forever haunting scream of death. At least it sounded like that but I knew it wasn’t. It was just the should of pain coming from my husband being turned. He slowly walked in and seem the change suit him better then me. However he pulled me closer and kiss me deeply. Even with your undead hearts, we still had the passion like we were still humans. Thinking about it I don’t know what to think about my once human self. I guess being a vampire has changed me.
A while back I read in a newspaper that vampires weren’t real. That it was some kind of joke played by humans. Saying that you go crazy one night and turn into a horrible monster that longs for blood. Even I thought about it. How would a vampire be real? I mean I know I am a vampire now but what really is a vampire? A sick bat bites you or something weird like that. I mean that how werewolves went about. They got bitten by a raging wolf dog. Then turn into a huge scary werewolves beasts. They weren’t real but even that could change in a wink of an eye.
Chris and I never really tired talking about it. Just the word vampire send my back on edge. I never really like the feeling. He was tired and went to sleep for the evening. I tried talking to Rick but he seem to be upset about something. I talked to him about how his friend was but he told me that she was doing fine but that they were no longer friends. It was a bit odd that she break up a friendship when she had a hurt leg or whatever it was going on. Chris and I did our best to help him but never really asked what was going on. We didn’t even know he had a relationship with anyone since he stay home most of the time.
I felt alone and felt this strange feeling to go outside. I stared at the stars and Moon. Now they are the only thing I enjoy in life. I can’t go out in the sun or I will burn or worse die. Still the feeling I get can’t change how I am. I do enjoy the moon lit sky and seeing the stars dance around. The plants look so different yet so pretty at night. I saw Chris and Rick finished the fence. They put it up to keep us from going down the path that change my life forever. Even the doctors were still unsure how a vampire was there. Even doctors had doubts about vampires but they had no choice they were real. I was a living proof of that. Make that a dying truth. Since vampires has no hearts really and have not many emotions. Still I was there for my family and my daughter. She is the one I will always love and protect. 
I was outside for a while until finally I decided it was time to go to bed. I was started to get really tired and even climbing up the stairs were hard. Finally after what seem like forever I got into bed and fell asleep.
~~~
April 15th
Today was Ruby’s birthday and life went on. We waited until Chris came back from work. Since he was busy trying to get more money and stay busy. Many people had asked what happen. Since he was now a vampire but he told them that he wanted to be with me and so he made a choice to be turn. After that no one seem to bother him about it. He had a bit of a problem with being too mad about things. Lately he and I would fight about the smallest things or even the big things.
When Chris came home we celebrated Ruby’s birthday and she turn out to be a lovely young lady. She really enjoyed play tea party with her dolls and listened to some music. We all had a good time. I felt kind of bad since Rick wasn’t feeling well but he told us he would make it up to her later. She understood and didn’t seem to mind much. We all watch a nice movie before Chris read Ruby a nice bedtime book.
He came in the room and talked to me asking me if I would try to have another baby. I told him a few times before that I wasn’t sure I could have another. Even the doctors didn’t know. He was getting upset about it but even that seem to stop him. He knew I had a problem and I was lucky to have Ruby. We didn’t talk about it after that. Since he knew deep down if I had another that either the baby or I would not make it. He didn’t want to lose me and I honestly didn’t want to lose him.
We were pretty quiet that night filled with many different thoughts. I know Ruby would wonder about what happen to us or why we look the way we do. I just not sure I am ready to tell her. I don’t want her to know what going on. She won’t really understand and so this would be my own little secret. A secret that Rick, Chris and I know. Which will stay that way for a long time. I just hope that Ruby would understand.
~~~
April 30th
It was the last day of April and Ruby was doing really well in school. She only asked once about what happen but we told her that we were bitten by snakes. We didn’t want her to go after them or anything. We had to lie to her since we didn’t want to tell her the truth yet. She was still young and I didn’t want her to feel like she didn’t need us anymore. She worked hard doing homework and I went back to school. She asked us if we would ever have another brother or sister but told her that mommy couldn’t have anymore children. That she was special to Mommy and Daddy.
Ruby was a little sad but understood where we were coming fun. She did have some friends but kept to herself mostly. Seem like she enjoyed acting and watching movies. We didn’t really stop her from doing that. She loved being a kid. I watch her having a good time in the garden. Learning about the different plants and what they each did. It was just wonderful to watch her. She really enjoy it.
Soon it would be her birthday and I wasn’t sure how things would go since she would be a teenager. I heard things about that ages. That they are hard to handle and that blow up or yell at their parents. I hope Ruby will not be that bad but you never know with that age. We also bought a dog named Skip. Skip was named a friend of ours. He loved to be sailing out and love the water. His dog,  Rose Petal had puppies and he wanted to give us one. Saying that he would be gone and that Rose Petal would be taking care of from his wife and children. He was going to travel the world on his sail boat. We gladly take this cute little puppy.
Skip was a sweet little puppy. We kept him as a secret for a day since we wanted to get his room ready. He stay over at Rick’s little house to be taking care of. While we got his room ready and waited for Ruby to come home. When Ruby came home, we told her that we had an early birthday gift. She was a little surprise but also very excited. Rick came in holding Skip in his arms. She jump up and down. Then took Skip from Rick’s arm and thanked us like crazy. She told us she would take good care of him. We knew she would.
Later on that evening we found out that our dear friend who gave us the puppy passed away while sailing on his boat. I guess some really bad storm came in and it was too strong for his sail boat. We were really sad. I called his wife and she told us everything she knew. I told her how sorry I was and that she understood. She also told me that we would have to get together in few days from now. Since she wanted to take a few minutes to let it sink it. I told her that I understood and we could do whatever we can.
It was a sad night for all of us but somehow little Skip made things better. He was always there licking us or letting us hold him to ease our pain. He is a good boy and I know Ruby was happy to have him in her life. I know I am too.

Well guys! I hope you enjoy this chapter. I been a while and I am deeply sorry. I will keep going as much as I can. I just busy working on my other stories but I do my best to work on this. Thanks for understanding. Please Enjoy!

Journal Entry 10

Author’s Note: This will continue on from what was going with Ruby’s Mom. Also before Ruby would have her birthday as well.

Dear Journal,             April 6th

I was bite shocked after learning I was a vampire. I mean how can anyone deal with being a vampire. Sure I heard a little about them but never in my lifetime would I think I would be one. Chris and Rick were still in shock. That when I heard Rick’s phone go off and he step out to answer it. He seem a bit worried as well. He went over to Chris after the phone called to say his friend was in the hospital. He was deeply sorry he couldn’t stay. Chris understood and he left to see his friend. Chris was still watching as he left. Then turn looking at me with worry. The doctor and him went out to talk for a bit. I was still lost in what was going on.

We heard Ruby crying and I wanted to go see her but Chris was already there. I felt like I wasn’t a part of anything. I worried Ruby wouldn’t love me or even know me. Since I only held her once after she was born. Life seem unfair. The doctor came over me and did a few test. Checking my neck and different things. I learn a lot that day. Mainly that I will no longer enjoy the sun anymore. It made me really sad. The doctor left and did his testing. He told us he would call us later. Chris just sat by me and we talked for a while. He asked me question if I remember anything at all. I just do him a few things but other then that I couldn’t remember.

He filled me in on what was going on. I was bit surprise on what was going on. Even with the part of me passing out for 2 days and what not. I was scared and worried. We got a called later that day from the doctor telling us that I am still healthy but that I might be feeling different for a while. Sadly there were no cures at the time. Which means I was stuck this way. I wish I never went into the woods. I felt tears falling down. I didn’t want to watch my love die of old age. I wanted to die with me. Like we planned for so many years. I guess life had other plans for us.

Meanwhile it was a while until Rick came back. We were bit surprise when he was acting kind of weird. He told us that his friend was fine. I felt he was lying to us but kept it to myself. I knew better to think the way I was thinking. He would tell us when the time was right. Still it did bother me that he was acting so weird. However he asked us if he could stay to help with his friend for a few days. He planned on leave soon after Ruby’s birthday. Which was tomorrow. Both Chris and I looked at each other but we agreed. Since it seem that it was important to Rick. We didn’t want to take that away from him. He was happy and then called his friend saying he would stay for a few days. That was that.

Chris took care of Ruby before we all got ready for bed. I was still weird about stuff. Specially when it came to smelling my love from a far. He smell so good. So sweet. I want to…I want to..bite him. However I did my best to control myself. The doctor gave me a fruit that was special for me to have. So I ate it hungry like. Chris just watch as I ate it. Knowing very well it will be a while before I got use to things. We talk a little longer and then fall into a deep sleep. I knew throughout the night that Chris was checking to make sure I was fine but I just held him close showing him that I was fine.

~~

Dear Journal,             April 7th

I woke up seeing Chris sweet face staring at me. He breath happily as he hasn’t done in a while. We all got up ready to celebrate Ruby’s birthday.  I finally was got time to hold her. She didn’t seem to mind me holding her. Which I was glad. I stare down deeply at her. I loved this cute little one. I snuggled her close and whisper how much I loved her. She cooed happily in my arms. Then Chris came in to see me really happy. He smiled back and kiss my neck softly. We both looking down at our little girl. Finally it was time to celebrate Ruby’s birthday. We came down to see Rick place the cake on the table. He was excited to see us. Little Ruby was cooing happily in my arm. She and I came close to the cake. Then we made a wish and she grew up very pretty little toddler.

After we blew out the candles, Rick, Chris and I had some cake. I gave Ruby her first bottle as a toddler and she was cute. Chris seem really happy to have her around. Then we put the leftover cake in the fridge. We said our “goodbyes” to Rick. He told us that he would be back soon. Just a day or two with his friend. We were fine with that. I spend my time with Ruby. Chris read the newspaper for a while. He threw it away. Soon he would be heading to work and I would stay a few days to take care of our little girl. Still everyone understood what was going on and told me to take much time as I wanted.

Then we put Ruby to bed since she was tired. Chris and I snuggled feeling really nice before we too went to bed. That night we slept really well for the first time. Ruby didn’t cry too much or got us up at like 3 in the morning anymore. Which was nice. I really happy about that. I just hope Rick is doing fine. We will find out in a few days time.

~~

Dear Journal,      April 10

Chris was back into working again. I really miss him when he was gone but somehow I knew we needed the money. Not that we were poor but just that we need to save up for Ruby in the future. Ruby and I have been getting closer this past few days. I was teaching her how to talk , walk and use the potty chair. It seem that the potty chair wasn’t as hard as with talking or walking but we finally got it done before her up coming birthday would be here. Chris came home after work and was surprise but happy to see Ruby walking. Then she would go Dada Dada. He just smiled and pick her up. He would give her a little tickle until she laugh really hard. I couldn’t help but laugh as well. It was just too cute seeing them together.

Rick had came back around the 8th or 9th. I wasn’t sure when he got back but was busy working in the garden and seeing how different Ruby looked. He spend sometime with her but then get sad and got to his house. I didn’t know what was going on but maybe it had to do with Ruby having red eyes or something. I’m not sure. I would try and asked but he would say something got in his eye. Yeah right. We all heard that one. I didn’t push him since I knew he would break down or stop talking to me. I didn’t really want that and I don’t think he want that either. Still it bugged me. I told this to Chris but he told me that I have to give it sometime. I guess I have to wait and see what going on with him.

We then watch a little sweet movie together and hang out. Just enjoy the evening before heading to bed. I found myself going outside sometimes just staring at the stars or looking at the plants at night. Chris put Ruby to bed and join me. Then we gaze up in the stars and told each other which stars were ours. I giggle at the thought that we would have a star named after us but who knew. It could happen. Then Chris pull me closer to him and whisper softly in my ear, “Turn me.”

I was bit surprise and asked if he was sure but he kiss me before I could say anything more. Then he told me, yes. That he wanted me happy and that he would do whatever he could to make us happy. I guess I couldn’t go back because I gave him a love bite that either one of us will ever forget.

~~

Well guys! I hope you like this chapter. I will keep working on more of them. I promise but I will be working the Crumplebottom family again. Please enjoy!

Journal Entry 9

Author’s Note: Rick and Chris will be talking for most of this chapter. Then Scarlet will talk.

~~

April 6th

Life so far was going by in a daze. Really I don’t know where to start. Truthfully we didn’t know what was going on with her. She had been sleep for most of the day. Hardly even speak or drinking anything. The only time I saw her up was when she had to rush to the bathroom to throw up. Not a pretty sight to see. Ruby on the other hand was doing fairly well. Her birthday was going to start soon but even that didn’t make the day feel any better. I wanted my best friend back. Not only that, I wanted my wife back. I kept calling the doctor to see if there was anything they could find. All I got was a voice called back saying they were busy. It was really annoying. Thankfully I had a friend still….Rick. I still glad he was still around. I didn’t know what to do without him. He truly is a great friend to have.

I was downstairs dealing with my emotions. Rick there trying to help me. Ruby started to cry so I went upstairs and took care of her. I knew something was very wrong. Is my wife going to die? That thought seem to hang in my head for a while longer. My thoughts thinking so badly that I couldn’t even know what to do. Rick told me I need to go out. He would not let me stay in the house. I decided I would try and see the doctor. At least see if they found anything.

I took the car and headed out. I rush as fast as I could to the hospital. I parked the car and headed inside. I asked the lady at the desk if I could see the doctor. I didn’t tell her I wasn’t sick. She gladly make me wait in the waiting room. When the doctor came out, he was bit surprise to see me but knowing I wouldn’t stop until he tell me something, he let me in his office. We spend a good few hours in his office. I asked many question of how she got the bite to the point if my wife would still be alive. He asked most of the questions but others he couldn’t tell me just yet. He told me that he was check out the blood to see if something happening with her system. He thought the bite could be from a snaked but even he wasn’t 100% sure if that was right. After feeling a little better, I went to the park. There I listen to the sounds of birds and thought about my wife. It was really getting hard. I started to cry thinking my life would be over if anything happen to her.

~~

Chris was really having a hard time about how Scarlet was doing. She would be in and out to the restroom. She won’t talk or even tell us what was going on. I didn’t blame her for not feeling well. She been sleeping for the past two days. I spend a lot of time trying to get Chris to feel better. I was at the point where he just need to get out of the house. I wasn’t trying to be mean about it but I knew in my heart that he need a break. He was going ragged thinking of her all the time. I sure would be doing the same if I was in his shoes. Still he left going out to do whatever he wanted to know. He told me that he would see the doctor to find some stuff out. Then he would be at the park for a little while. It was fine with me. I took care of little Ruby. Her birthday will be tomorrow but I spend all the time with her. I just hope Scarlet was well enough to be there for her.

I headed outside to the garden. I place Ruby softly on a blanket next to me that way I could keep watch of her. I watered the plants and took care of some weeding. I even got time to enjoy the fresh air while holding Ruby. Ruby is a sweet little girl. She seem to have a heart of pure gold. I really enjoy being close to her. She seem to know she was safe and fall softly to sleep in my arms. I place her back in the crib. Decided to see how Scarlet was doing. Boy was I in of a shock of my life. I stood there not knowing what to do. I gave Chris a call and he came over as fast as he could.

Chris stood there as well not sure what to do. We just watch as Scarlet a really loud scream. It was like someone punching you over and over again until you couldn’t take it anymore. We were scared and worried that she was about to die. Chris called the doctors and felt his sadness flow into me. That I too started to cry a little.

~~

I was very weak this past two days. I couldn’t talk or tell Chris I loved him. I couldn’t thanked Rick a million times over for all the stuff he done for us. I was sick. Really sick. Sicker then I ever thought I could get sick. I was always in the bathroom. Just throwing up and feeling like my life was out of me. I felt my body shake and curl up like a ball. I wanted to cry. I just wanted to die but in my heart I didn’t want too. I felt so weird. It felt like my body was dying but yet I was still alive. How could that happen? I honestly didn’t know. I couldn’t even hold Ruby without feel weak or tired. Something didn’t feel right. I just slept it off hoping things would get better soon but it didn’t.

I felt Chris and Rick coming in and out of my room. Then I got up real fast. No…not to throw up but I stood with a lot of pain flowing in my veins. Chris called the doctor. Rick stood there with tearful eyes. Chris then cried as well. I didn’t know what else to do because the pain was too much for me to handle. I just screamed in pain before I felt myself be lifted in the air. I am going to die and go to heaven? All I felt was rush faster then you could say Hello and Goodbye. Next thing I knew was my teeth felt really weird. Chris and Rick fast were like they say a ghost.

I somehow managed to get into the bathroom and look into the mirror. What I saw was not me? What I saw looked like a sick monster ready to pounce out and get me? No. This…This can’t be mean. It just…can’t be me but it was me. It was me looking in the mirror. Scared, confused and not well. My skin was pale. Paler then I thought would be and my eyes, well they were dark red eyes I ever saw that gave almost an evil glow. I wanted to scream but I force myself not too. All I could do was stare. All I knew was….was that I am now a Vampire.

Dear Journal,        April 4th

In the morning Chris and I took Ruby in the hospital like the doctor said. The doctor check Ruby to see how she was doing. I didn’t sleep very well but did my best to be there. Chris and I were waiting in the waiting room before the Doctor came in to see us. I was nervous but wasn’t sure what was going on. If Ruby would make it or if we lose another daughter. That thought really made me worried. I didn’t want to lose another. I at a point where I thought I never be a mother. Special since of what happen the last time. I look up and thought it was odd how the doctor was looking at us. At first I wasn’t sure what to think of it.

Then he told us that everything was fine. It looked like Ruby fought off whatever came in her and that everything will be fine. I was really thankful that nothing was going on with Ruby. They did a few more test and then we headed straight home. At home, Chris took Ruby to her crib and I went to bed to rest a little more. Chris talked to Rick what the doctors had said. They talked for a long time. I got up when the baby cried. I feed her, change her and gave her lots of love. She is a beautiful baby. I love holding her and feel so much love from her. She made me feel good. She made me work hard and I felt great being with her.

I headed outsides and felt the breeze hitting my skin. Besides it being a day since I gave birth to Ruby, I felt really good. I then told Rick and Chris that I was going into town. They were a bit surprise but telling them that I was feeling pretty fine. They didn’t say anything more. Rick was out in the garden taking care of the plants. Chris decided to read the newspaper while he listen to see if Ruby needed anything.  I slowly walked out on the path. The same path I been on many times before. It was nice out. Besides it feeling a little cold since it was evening time before I headed into town. I had a basket with me ready to get some more fruits and vegetables. My mind was thinking about many different things as I was on the path. Not really thinking of what will happen from this.

In town. I met a few of my friends and neighbors who were out. We talked a while and they asked me about the baby. I told them that everyone will be fine and soon they will meet her. They were excited and I was happy for them to meet Ruby soon. I headed into the grocery store to get some fruits and vegetables. I then went to the bookstore before I saw a few more people I knew. We talked for a while and noticing it was getting a little dark out, said “goodbye” to my friends. Then I headed back into the path. If I thought of it now, I would of told Chris or Rick to get me but I didn’t think of it.

I was walking quietly, listening to the wind blow gently on me and looking at some pretty flowers as I walked by. I stop for a moment to smell one when I felt someone was watching me. I started to walk a little fast but then I felt it getting closer and closer. I  then ran faster but it was right behind me. It hot breath down my neck and I froze. I couldn’t move at all.

Then the thing spoke, “Hello beautiful creature. Where are you off so fast for?”

I felt it hand slowly touch my hair and I was breathing really hard. I couldn’t speak. I tired but nothing was coming out. From this the thing or person, whatever it was came closer to me. I tried to run but it was too fast and help me close to it. His breath was on my neck and I felt scared. Am I getting jumped or robbed? Whatever the case I didn’t know what else to do. I was getting really nervous.

It said, “You smell nice. This won’t hurt a bit.”

Before I knew what it met by that, I felt a sharp pain in my neck. I then scream and somehow past out. As my eyes slowly closing, I saw that he was leaving on the ground. I couldn’t tell what it was but I fell into a deep dark sleep.

~~

I hard a really loud noise coming from the woods. I got up and slowly went into the path. I walked a little ways until I saw Scarlet laying there. I was daze with what just happen. I came rushing to her and bent down to see how she was doing. She was still breathing but saw she got a mark on her neck. It look like a snake bite but I couldn’t tell. I picked up the fruits and vegetables. I rush into the house and place them on the table. Chris looked up and notice that I had the basket it but didn’t see Scarlet. He got up and asked me what was going on. Where Scarlet was and everything. I told him that she was on the ground and that she was bitten but I’m not sure what bite her. I told him that I would stay and watch Ruby while he go get Scarlet in.

I headed upstairs and watch Ruby. At least nothing bad happen to you. I snuggle her and she felt really nice. She just look up at me and wondering what was going on. I softly whisper that your mommy will be ok. She be ok. She be ok. O I hope she will be ok. Tears was slowly flowing down my face and I found myself holding my knees after I put Ruby back in the crib. I don’t know what I will leave with the fact that she will be gone. She is and always will be my best friend.

~~

Rick came rushing into the house and held the basket in his hands. I got up from my newspaper and asked him what happen. He told me what was going on. My heart was giving out and I didn’t know what to do. I just ran outside after Rick told me that he would watch Ruby. Thank goodness nothing happen to Ruby but I still worried about Scarlet. I ran as fast as I could. There she was still laying there. I picked her up and then carefully bought her back in the house. I place her on the bed and wrap her up with blankets. I then called the doctor and asked him to come over as soon as he could. I was really worried about her but I didn’t know what to do.  I sat on the chair and waited to see when the doctor would show off. It seems like hours, days, weeks, months and years before the doctor finally showed up. I went to the door and answered it. He came in and went upstairs. I showed him where Scarlet was at.

Rick came out of Ruby’s room and stared at me. He asked me if she would be ok but I didn’t know. I just told him that I wasn’t sure. We both stood there and waited to see what the doctor would say. He checked on her and looked to see what was going on. He saw that there were some bite marks on her neck but she was still alive. I was bless for that but I didn’t know when she would wake up. He told us that there wasn’t much for him to do but that she needed to sleep it off. Once she get over the attack she should be fine but he would have to do some test. He agreed that he won’t take her to the hospital but that he would come everyday to see if she would be ok. I nodded and then he left. He was going to the lab to do some test to see what was going on. I was worried. I didn’t know what to do. Since I never saw Scarlet look like this. I was worried but there was nothing I could do. I just went into the guest room and started to cry myself to sleep. There weren’t really much I could do.

~~

 April 5th

I woke up not really feeling the greatest. The thoughts and feelings of last night really haunted me. I couldn’t really sleep. All I did was watch over Ruby and made sure she was fine. I kept wondering what was going on with Scarlet. Chris was at her side most of the night but slept in the guest room because he couldn’t take much of seeing her like that. She was still sleep. I worried she wouldn’t get anything to drink or eat but somehow I didn’t worry about that but the fact that she wasn’t up yet. I hope whatever going on she get better soon.

I decided to go out in the garden. It was a place I always like going too. Specially on times like this. I did my best not to think about her but it was hard. I didn’t like what was going on but there wasn’t much I could do. We saw the doctor once that day but he didn’t give us much of information of what was going on. All I felt was sadness in Chris’s eyes and I felt really bad. I pulled the weeds really hard to the point that I made my hands bleed.

I went insides the house and clean my hands. Chris and I talked for a while. We didn’t know at the time that Scarlet was slowly waking up but at the time we didn’t want to bother her. We headed upstairs and went into the room a little while later. When we saw her, we were surprise and over joyed that she was wake. She gave us a small smile but then she felt a little sick and had to rush to the bathroom. We took care of her and made sure she didn’t do too much. She then went back to sleep because she didn’t feel well. I check on Ruby and then went to bed.

~~

I was feeling really depressed. I mean really depressed. I didn’t want to eat or drink anything but I had too if I wanted to stay alive for my wife, my love, Scarlet. Even her name seem to make me feel sad. I felt weak and felt so tired. I didn’t go to work. I told them that some stuff was going on with my wife and they understood. I didn’t care if I worked or not. I mainly slept in the guest room because I couldn’t deal with what was going on with my wife. Ruby would cry and I would take care of her. I think she felt something was up but I couldn’t tell. She was still a baby and not knowing what was going on. She kept me going even if I didn’t want too.

I got something to drink. I still wouldn’t eat anything. Rick didn’t force me to do anything. He was just as upset as I was. We were all to school together. Laughing and enjoy each other company. He was there for me and help me to understand that she really liked me. While he did the same for her. I was glad to have my best friend but it was hard on both of us. I watch some TV or read the newspaper. I didn’t feel like doing anything else. I watch Rick a little working in the garden. He hurt his hand while gardening but took care of his wounds. We talked for a while. We didn’t know that Scarlet would be up.

Then we went up to see how she was doing. She been sleeping a lot lately. Not drinking or eating. I didn’t know if it was good thing or not. We saw the doctor once but he didn’t say much. He couldn’t tell what was going on. Still taking some test and telling us he would be back tomorrow. It felt like a waste to me. He not even doing his job, I thought to myself but we went into the room. When we saw that she was wake. I was surprise and didn’t know what to do. I just sat down next to her and held her close. Rick came by and gave her a hug and he was off. I was there with her. She didn’t feel good. She kept going to the bathroom. We took it slow when it came to food and water. She then went back to sleep. I was worried she won’t wake up but I knew she would be fine.

I laid down next to her and kept her close to me. I kiss your forehead before I went to sleep. Whispering softly in her ear, I love you Scarlet. She softly whisper back saying, I love you too Chris.

~~

Well guys! I hope you like this chapter. Again I’m sorry this is late. I will try and keep going again. I just dealing with different things but I promise I will keep going on for them. Well I hope you like it. Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

Journal Entry 7

Dear Journal,        April 3rd

There has been so much happen Journal that I’m not sure where to begin. I guess I will start at the beginning. April 1st was a really interesting day. Fill with lots of pranks and funniness throughout the day. Rick and Chris would tease each other about random things. We got fooled by the newspaper people thinking they wouldn’t deliver the newspaper anymore but got a note saying April Fools. Which some people got really upset about. However we took it well and just laugh about it.

Of course I wasn’t really feeling well which is why this Journal about April Fools day was so late. I had been go to the restroom for most of the day. I don’t think you need to know why but seem as if I can’t hold anything in. I started to get worried about it at first. Since I normally never get sick much. Chris and Rick seem to get a little worried as well. Since they were pretty much hearing what was coming out. Chris pull me to the side and ask me to go see a doctor. I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to see a doctor but I being that I can’t hold anything in, I decided to go see the doctor.

Chris was going to take me but I told him that I could take care of it myself. I didn’t really want him to go to find out what the problem was. Maybe I was worried that me being “pregnant” again. I mean sure my head was telling me that it was crazy and that maybe I had some flue going on but my heart wasn’t so sure on it. I didn’t want to make things worse. Chris didn’t fight about it either. He told me to be careful and that he would see me soon. Rick was told me the same when I went out to the garden to tell him that I was going to see the doctor. He watch me go and then went back to work.

I drove all the way to see the doctors. I was really nervous as well. Since the last time I saw the doctor was dealing with my eyes and not getting help with them. This was a different problem but somehow I never really felt comfortable about seeing the doctor. I’m not sure why. It could be the fact that I went to them a lot when I was younger. I always never liked going to be “check” on. Finally I came to the parking lot and parked. I sent a text to Chris letting him know I made it and that I was going inside. He text me back before I got out of the car to tell me what I found out as soon as I could. I took a deep breath and went inside. There was the same lady who pointed me where my doctor was. I told her that I was seeing a doctor today. She nodded and told me that the doctor wanted to see me. I follow in the room before we began our little talk.

“Hello Ruby. How are you doing today? Did you come to ask about your eyes again?”

“No. It’s not about my eyes but something else.”

“I see what may be the problem then.”

I told him that I been well throwing up and not able to hold anything in. He told me that he was going to take a few test and then see what the problem is. I was really nervous. First they poked me with a needle to see how my blood is doing. Then they asked me to well go into the bathroom for the next test to work. I did what they told me and handed what he needed back. I then waited in his room for a long time and wondering what was taking so long. Finally the doctor came in the room and an interesting look on his face. There was a few whispers that I couldn’t make out as the doctor was slowly coming in. All I could hear was “I see or Interesting” and then he came in before I could ask what he was talking about.

He sat on his desk chair and then said, “Well I have some interesting news to tell you. It seem that you are indeed pregnant.”

I thought he would say April Fools your not pregnant. Your just sick with a flue but we were quiet for a long time. Finally I broke the silence and asked if I was really “pregnant.” He nodded his head yes and I was feeling a little scared about it. He went on to tell me that he could understand the worry I have but to just take better care of myself. I was not sure what else to say but then again I was a little hopefully this time around it will make it. I look down at my stomach not yet showing a bump and gave it a soft little rub. I then thanked the doctors and headed home.

I decide that I won’t tell Chris anything until I got inside the house. Once I made it home, Chris greeted me with a warm kiss and hug. Rick just stood back looking pretty nervous to find out what was going on with me. Finally we all went into the living room and decided to make a April Fools joke about it at first. I told them that I wasn’t pregnant that I was sick with the flue. Chris face was looking very sad but then I quickly said, “April Fools, I am pregnant!”

Both of them gave me a funny look but then jump up and down. They were both excited for me and hugged me tightly. Then I started feeling a lot better and getting more. Did as much as I could as the doctor had told me to do. I even read more about vampires and found out that their flue was called a Vampire Flue. I wrote an email to the guy and he told me, he heard of it once. I told him about other things and he even congrats to us both. I was still pretty nervous but the feeling of being pregnant again was really nice. Rick and Chris were there all the step of the way for me.

~~

The time of the baby to be born was getting closer and I started to having a hard time walking. I was mainly bed ridden for a while. Chris would give me some meals in bed and Rick would tell me how the garden would look. Since I could no longer be able to see it. When the time came, the water broke and Chris took me to the Hospital. Rick stay home to take care of the garden and to make sure the house was safe. It was nice of him. Chris was in the waiting for while I was to give birth. I was in labor for a good 6 hours before the baby was born. We had a little girl and we named her Ruby. The doctors notice that her eyes were going grey and I worried that she won’t make it through the night but somehow she did. The doctors let me hold her since she was doing much better. Chris and I stay the night at the hospital. The doctor was checking on Ruby while I did my best to get some sleep. Chris stay up but grew tired and went to bed. We were both nervous but in the early morning, he told us that she was fine to go home now.  Chris took Ruby and I in the car, then we headed home. Once we were at home, Rick came to greet the baby and was very excited for us. I went upstairs to rest. While Rick and Chris took sometime with the baby. Ruby was a pretty little girl. She had my looks and smile but a little of Chris in her as well.

Chris then came in with me and smile softly. He played with my hair for a little while and then rest by myself. Rick came in and out while Ruby was up to take care of us. Giving us a little break to take care of ourselves. That night we had a lovely meal and enjoy each other company. I have a feeling that Ruby will do just fine. However the doctor would like to see her the next day to see how she is doing. We then went to bed wondering what tomorrow would bring and how special our little Ruby really is. I love you, Ruby, my little one. Goodnight and sleep well I told her. She just gave me a sweet smile before falling asleep. Then Chris and I went to bed.

Journal Entry 6

Dear Journal,          March 25th

Today is a really windy day. It was so windy that you think it would the branches off. Some of the trees that were on our grounds were fairly old. We worried that they would come down on us, the house or even the garden. Thankfully the winds die down but in the mean while, Rick came in to stay with us. It was that bad. He worried about the garden a lot but once he was outside they were fine. He went back on taking care of them but after that instead of going inside his home, he went to see someone. We didn’t think much of it at the time. Since we were busy with other things going on. One of the many things that were going on was my eyes changing colors. It wasn’t really common for people for eyes to change color. However most people had it happen with moods they were in. Not so many though but it was very hard to deal with. Chris was starting to worry again and so was I. I decided that I would go see the doctor. Though I did see them another time but they said the same thing.

I took the time to get change and have a nice quiet lunch with Chris. I headed to the doctor soon after I was done. I would tell Chris what I have learned if I learned anything at all. Chris was getting pretty unsure and upset with all the unknown things going on. I got into the car not wanting to waste my time looking at my garden or even going through the path to town. I then came to the hospital and parked my car. I then called Chris and told him I was going inside the building. I then told him I would see him soon. I then headed inside the hospital area. I then went to the lady at the desk and asked her where my doctor’s room was at. Since it had been a while since I last saw him. She pointed the way and I headed in the waiting room. I was there for sometime. Then my doctor met me at the waiting room. He greeted me warmly and we headed inside his office.

Inside his office was a nice desk where his laptop was laying on it. Behind the desk were two large book shelves. The shelves were filled up with all different kinds of medications or curse for it. However I was still amaze as the size of the book shelves. There were two nice cozy size living room chairs in front of the desk. There were some posters and pictures hanging on the walls. I sat down as we were to being talking about my eyes once again.

He sat down quietly and then said, “Hello Mrs. Midnight. It is good to see you again. How are things going for you?”

I told him that everything was going well. The only main problem I been dealing with was my red eyes coming back. It had been a while since my red eyes came back but then somehow they came again. This time I had a feeling was for good. We were quiet for a while after I told him about my eyes coming back again. I sure he knew when he saw sitting in the waiting room that my eyes looked a lot different then before.

Then he said, “Well it seem as you are right that your red eyes are back again. I’m not sure really how it happens. We are still looking into what the problem is. We are very puzzle on how it started and where it really came from. However it seems to not harm the body in any way, even though it makes your eyes red. You still will be able to see with them but I and many other doctors are still looking into the problem. I’m sorry to say there not much I can do. I will be looking into it farther but for now just take care of yourself.”

I nodded and thanked him for the time. I then got up and headed to the door. I then closed it behind me and about to leave when a man left his room that look like he had red eyes as well. I was amazed because I thought I was the only one with the problem. I slowly came up to the man and asked him how he got his red eyes. He seemed very nervous about me asking about it. I thought I made him feel bad for me asking him but he told me to come to his place and he would tell me. At first I wasn’t sure but seeing how it was important for me to know what was going on, I decided to trust him. I headed to my car and followed him to his house. His house was not as bad looking as one would think. We headed inside before anything could say I was cheating behind my husband back or anything else.

He seem to understand the celebrity pretty well. Since he pretty much heard about me from the news to other things. We sat down in his living room, where we began talking about the red eyes. He told me that he heard rumors that it came from people being born with red eyes. He told me that they were sick and got the red eyes. I still didn’t totally believe or even understand it. He showed me some information he got out of a newspaper laying around his house. He told me that the past owners were different then any others. He found it hidden somewhere about the red eyes people got. He wasn’t sure how it came or even how it happen but somehow people were getting red eyes. I spend the mainly few minutes thanking him and told him I would email him if I ever found anything else or him as well. I hope into the car and headed home.

Once home, I told Chris what had happen. He was a bit surprise about the guy that had red eyes but he understood why I went. We ate dinner quietly and Chris clean the dishes. I went on my computer to work on some things I learn. I went on the internet to learn more about the red eyes. I learn a lot. I heard some people said that it was from getting sick like having a flu that made people then mind change weird. Others said that you get bit by Vampires which we heard were just a rumor, non have been seen, not even at night. Still other say it from being part Vampire, as that could ever happen. It was pretty weird but I sent the information to the guy I just met. I turn off my computer and came over to Chris. He talked to me about his day and I told him mine. After that we snuggle for a bit and then fell asleep into each other arms.

~~

March 31st

Today was much better day. I still be learning more about what wrong with my eyes. Since lately I haven’t been getting much help. I talked to the same guy and he told me that he got his eyes from some rare plant he was eating. He said that much people didn’t buy the plant because of the fact it was weird looking but others came to get it. He wasn’t sure what else to say about them other then they were red. We talked for hours about it. I still wasn’t sure if that was the problem but I decided to read some more. I went on the computer after that and found out more about Vampires at least if they were real. I was surprise to find out that they were REAL. I was a bit surprise with this. They say that they come out really late at night. When everyone is a sleep and goes in hiding in the morning. They can’t be around the sun or they will burn. They don’t like garlic. We all pretty much know the reason why to that. I learn that the first ever Vampire came a long time ago. How the Vampire came to be is still a mystery. They said that the person was either bitten by some crazy person who thought they were vampires or something happen in their blood system to change them. Like I said I still not sure how that could happen. After spend a good few hours learning more. I decided to stop. After I send another email to the guy, I headed downstairs to spend sometime with Rick and Chris. They were happy to see me and asked how things were going. I told them it was going well but still hard to know what going on.

After we spend sometime together. Christ sat on the bed and asked me if we could try having a child again. This time I was feeling bad about saying no or anything. So we decided to give it a try. That night was the night we would remember forever. It was nice feeling him against me and hearing him say how much he loved me. It has been a long time since we felt close. Sure we were close on our wedding night but it seem like we were far apart until now. After that we feel sleep having sweet dreams of what would come. I just hope deep down that this time nothing will go wrong. For I still have my worries and doubts but try not to share them too much.

 

 

 

 

Journal Entry 5

Author’s Note: Sorry I haven’t been around. I just been busy with other things. I decided to share some of the boring parts in this Journal Entry to better understand what been going on. On days that haven’t been posted. Most of the journals are the same with this, so I didn’t wanted to make people bored with it. The Midnight family was very popular with parties and working hard. This will talk more about them and what went on. Please Enjoy!

Dear Journal,          March 18

Today has been a really exciting day. Work has been the same like all the other day. Get up, then dress and out the door to work. Chris would be already gone for working. Since he works in the morning up until the late afternoons. By the time he comes home, I would be at work and not come home until later that evening around 6 or 7 pm. Once the evening coming, I would be pretty tired. However when it comes to the weekend it would be different.  I was invited to a friend’s tea party. A tea party was different then a house party. Since a house party was pretty much males and females would go together. The tea party was only females would be invited to go. However the males also have their parties they would go too. Their party name was pretty much the same as the house party but just for males.

I got myself dress into a nice lovely dress. I got ready to see my friend. I was a few minutes late. Once I was there I felt really bad for being late. I told my friend once I was there that I was deeply sorry for being late. She just seem to give a smile and told me it was fine. She understood where I was coming from. Since she was dealing with her own work life and family life as well. I have now family but that of my husband. She and I talked about if I ever have kids again but I told her that I wasn’t ready for it yet. We talked about other things after that. Sipping our tea and enjoy our company. It got pretty late before I came home.

Chris was already in bed by the time I got home. I got changed into my nightclothes and brushed my teeth. Then I climbed into bed and got my sleep before the next day would come.

~~

March 19

The next morning I woke up, it was the weekend and I didn’t have to worry about getting up for work. The sun shine came through our blinds, sending shadows as it slowly woke up everyone from their deep sleep. Chris was already up by this time of day. He was busy talking to Rick about many different things. I slowly climbed out of bed, placing my feet on the ground and slowly getting up. I wrapped my robe around me as I headed downstairs to get something to drink. Tea was always best in the morning and later in the evening. I made myself some cup of tea.

Then after reading a cook book for a while, I headed out to see the garden. The garden looked pretty good. The vegetables and fruits were growing fairly well. Rick had kept it up while Chris and I were busy with many different things. I told Rick and Chris I would be helping into town. Instead of taking a car I headed down the forest. The forest had a path that leads to the town. I walk down the pathway many times before. I kept going for a while before I finally reach the end of the path. I went into the bookstore to get some books besides talking to the neighbors or people passing by. After that I went to the grocery store to get some things besides selling some of the fruit and vegetables.

I talked to a friend of mine about different things. I was seeing how she was doing. Her family and her were having some hard times with things. I told her a few of my problems as well. We went to the café and got something to eat. She joined me and we talked a little longer. It was getting evening time before we had to go. I thanked her for a nice chat and said our “goodbye.”

I then went onto the path again and headed home. Once at home, Chris and I were talking for a bit. We went to bed after that. We were really tired. Rick was doing well with taking care of the garden. I even told him before I went to bed that the garden looked great. The fruit and vegetables were great as well. They were selling pretty well and even help other people get food in them. I was really happy. Rick seem happy as well. Our life was pretty simply as you could tell.

Well guys! I hope you like this chapter. This just shows some part of the chapters you don’t see much. Please enjoy and tell me what you think of it.

 

 

 

 

 

Journal Entry 4

First before I begin, I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick’s Day. I hope all are having fun on this day. This Journal will be a mix of different things going on. I hope you enjoy this. Sorry it been a while.

~~

Dear Journal,   March 1st

You probably wondering what happen after the storm hit our town. Throughout the night the rains pour like a forever flowing waterfall. I was wondering if there would be flooding or we would be stuck in our homes forever. However in the early mornings the sun slowly came pouring in our windows. I wondered how Rick slept last night. I’m sure he was worried about the garden. Not knowing if the storm did much damaged on them. Chris was already up and downstairs by the time I got up. I slowly wrapped my robe on me and headed downstairs. I dare not look out the windows. I didn’t want to see what happen outside yet. My mind was still restless of all the noise. No you could say I’m not really afraid but I do get worry easily then most forks here.

Once I was downstairs I made myself a cup of tea. I always love having tea in the morning. It slowly wakes me up with just right amount of warmth as well. Chris and Rick were in the living room. Talking away as they sip their coffee. I came in after my tea was done to see how everyone was going. Rick was telling Chris that the storm didn’t do too much damage on the plants. He was able to go out that night from a little break in the storm to cover the plants well enough that they weren’t get badly damaged. I simply listen as Rick went on about how other people had more damage then we did. I was bit surprise but maybe because of the protection of the trees seem to help us. I still wasn’t sure. Whatever the reason was that kept us from the worse of the storm, I was just happy nothing else bad happen to us.

Once we were done with our drinks, we went out finally to see what really happen. There was branches, leaves and many other items outside. However when I looked at our garden, they were safe. Some how Rick was able to make a special cover that kept the plants from getting rip up. Rick then took the cover off to see how the plants faired and to our surprise they seem to be doing fine. Then Chris and I went over to check on our neighbors but before leaving we took some of our healthy fruits and vegetable over to them. They were very happy and thanked us many times. We told them that it was nothing and they would do the same. It was true. They would do the same for us as we would do for them. Then we took care of some of the branches, leaves and other items covering their lawns. We spent the remaining day helping out our neighbors or giving food to them.

We went back home and took care of ourselves. Rick came in after working hard on the garden and helping other people who needed advice or other help. Rick made some really good tomato soup and we sat down eating it. We talked about how the day was going and then headed to bed. We were all really tired and wondering how the other days would be like. As we all know March brings the rain.

~~

March 17th

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. It has been a wonderful day. Full of great joy and everything in between. Chris, Rick and I celebrate the day with great food. We even watch some many different Irish shows on TV and learn more about St. Patrick’s Day. Sadly we didn’t wear green. O well I guess it not that important. Honestly it was just great to have different food and learn something different. Rick seem to enjoy himself. Same with Chris and I. We spend most of the day outside. Thank goodness there was no more rain or my poor head will be going cabin crazy. Well more like house crazy then cabin crazy but I think you understand were I’m coming from.

We decided to also have a big get together with all our neighbors and friends. We had drinks and food with them. The town was pretty much clean up since our somewhat big storm that came rowing in. Everyone we knew had a lot of damage and it took a long time for them to fix everything. Chris and I even took time off of work to help out. The power was out for a few days as well. It was really bad but somehow we made it through it.

Chris and I then saw a great Irish movie while Rick stay home taking care of the garden. We asked him if he wanted to come but he didn’t seem to mind staying home. I still wondering what was gong on but I guess sometime we will find out the reason he didn’t want to go. Chris and I had a great time through. Then we went to the beach. We haven’t been at the beach in a long time. Chris then asked me about having children. It been a while since he bought it up last. I told him flatly that right now was not the best time. He drop the subject and hasn’t as me since then. I might seem rude about it but all honestly I think you understand my reason for it. I am still worried we wouldn’t be able to have another one. If we did I wasn’t sure if I could handle unknown problems.

As you may or may not know I had my red eyes coming back again. I had seen the doctors but they still weren’t sure where they were coming from. Chris was also worried about me. This I know was true but in the same way I knew that it will always be a part of me. I never knew why this happen or how it came to be but that how life was about. I decided not to think about this matter since it was a special holiday. We just enjoy our company siting at the beach for a while. Then we headed home.

I sat down reading a very interesting saying.  The saying read like this:

"Dance
as if no one were watching,
Sing
as if no one were listening,
And Live
Everyday
as if it were your last."
An Irish Proverb

It was an interesting saying. A saying that stay with me for a long time. I never forgot about it. Since it means a lot to me. Then after reading the newspaper for a while we went to bed.

Dear Journal,            February 10th

Life has treated me fairly well this few days. I was out in the garden to check on how things were going. Chris was off at work by now but I still had some time before I had to go to work. Rick has greeted me with a kindly smile as he was bent over pulling some weeds from the garden. He kept the garden well care for. No surprise there since he knew how to take care of the garden for a long time. His father was pretty much a farmer/rancher for as long as I could remember. His mother was a house wife taking care of her family and doing most of the cooking. I remember going over there a few times before and having a wonderful meal. It was hard to realized they were gone but somehow Rick was doing a pretty good job in his life. We hardly talk too much about his parents for it would bring tears to his eyes.

Just before it was time for me to head to work, I got a call from the local paper company wanting to know if I could come to my house party. I have not told you this but a few days ago I decided to have a nice house party for family, friends and people from work. I thought it would give some time to get over the lost of our first child. For it has been almost a month since we lost our child. In that time I have mop more then a week. Chris and Rick did there best. They were almost going to take me to the doctors since I didn’t work for a while but started to get better. Rick came up with the idea of having a nice house party. This weekend was all set for having a wonderful party.

Going back to the phone call I had invited them to come. Since I found it was interesting the newspaper company wanted to come to my party but didn’t think much about it. I was off at work while Rick and Chris started getting things ready. Rick wanted to use the fruit and vegetables we have in the garden. He wanted them in the salads and different things. Once I came home from work, I took a nice warm shower and got ready for the evening. Dressed in the best clothes and the smell of the food filling the room, the first guests have arrived. No surprise it was the newspaper company who came first but we let them in. Slowly everyone came in and we started the party off with wonderful music. While the music played we had some fine wine as we chatted away. Chris and I sat down as the newspaper company began talking to us. They asked us questions and we answered them. To my surprise we were going to be in the front page of a new magazine called New Homes. New homes didn’t really mean new new homes but what people did with their homes. Mainly decorations, cooking tips and party ideas. I was surprised he asked us to be the first. I wasn’t sure if it was because of the fact what happen in our life or that because we were becoming more famous. I looked at Chris a few times. He seem to be more then a little happy about the idea but I decided I would talk to him more about it later. We agreed to be part of the new magazine issues. They then told us they would have it out soon but just wanted to thank us for letting them join the party.

The party it self was going pretty well. People talked about how great our food taste and how we got it to taste so good. It seems like Rick was gaining more friends throughout the night. They were asking him so many questions. I was worried his brain would fall off but he seem to take it well. It was starting to get pretty late before slowly everyone was leaving. They thanked us a million times it seem as they headed out to go to their homes. Chris and I waved “goodbye” to them. We helped Rick put the plates in the dishwashers. We did some other cleaning before we headed off for the night. We said, “Goodnight” to Rick as he headed for bed. Chris and I headed upstairs to our room. We got changed in our nightclothes and sat on the bed to talk for a moment.

“Chris, why were you so excited about us being in the magazine issue? I know your happy but you didn’t have to be overly excited about it. Just makes me wonder if you plan all this or not.”

He gave me a grin like that as if he hide something from me. Just the same why you was like that before we got engage how he planed things out without me knowing it. It started to make me worry a little but Chris seem to even relax me without me always knowing it. We were quiet for a moment. He didn’t say anything right away but let me think for a moment.

Then he said, “ Well love reason I was excited about us being in the magazine issue was because of the fact that it was our first time. Plus I kind went out of my way to have it happen. Since you have been feeling so depressed about our lost of our first child. I know it is hard losing something we love so dearly but that doesn’t stop us for having a life. I love you deeply and want you to know that I am always here for you. No matter what goes on or what people say. I just learn about this new magazine just before you planed out a party. I told them about it and they gave you a call. Which I wasn’t sure if you would let them come or not but it work out the way it should be. I just want you happy and see you so upset makes me feel even worse. It is like I can’t help you even if I wanted too. Just promise you never get this depressed because I don’t know if my heart can take this too much.”

Feel at a lost but yet happy he did this for me, I told him that I would never be this depressed again. That night we snuggled into each other arms and dreamed happy dreams.

February 13th

It was just before Valentine’s Day. When we got a phone call from the newspaper company saying that our magazine issue was done. Chris went off and got it for us to see how it turn out. Once he got home, we looked at it together and found out it turn out great. Reading everything they said about our parties and saying how no one should missing going to our parties. It was just really great. They even shared some of our favorite recipes we enjoy cooking. We were very happy and decided to celebrate by going out to eat. Rick didn’t seem to mind us going. In fact he seem like he had other things on his mind. I sure he was making sure the garden was great but I could tell there was something else. How I know this is beyond me but somehow I felt he was hiding something. I didn’t push him into telling us what it was. It wasn’t my business to know but also to know that he would tell us what it is when the time came. The rest of the evening was spending time talking about the magazine. We were reading it over and over again. We were just really excited about.

February 14th

The next day was Valentine’s day. Chris and I had some plan we were going to do. First off we took time off from work to do it. Normally we would never do that but being how this was a special time of year, we figured that one day was not as bad. Since we could always work harder the next day. Chris and I went to the beach. It was the first time since we been there. We listen to music and eat some yummy sandwiches. We took a nice walk and listen to the sounds of the ocean. Chris was very much a romantic type of guy. He could carry you away with his charms and sweet talks. Which he seem to do with me. Not only that but he took me to a movie theater. It has been a long time since I really saw a movie but it was really nice to watch. Once the movie was done, we talked to the park for a bit and gaze up at the stars. He told me a few times how some of the stars made him think of me. I had to blush and told him the same. Which we were there for a while I started to get tired and Chris took me home. Once we were home, we fall sleep into each other arms. Too tired to change our clothes.

February 29th

It was almost the end of February and March was almost coming it’s way. I sat down reading a really good book. I haven’t read a book in sometime. Not that I couldn’t take my busy time to read one but with all that has been going on. I haven’t really thought about reading. Chris however spend most of his time reading the newspaper. He love finding out what was going on. He even spend sometime emailing a few of his closest friends to find out how they were doing. Sometimes he was even on the phone couple of hours to check on everyone. He truly was the sweetest guy I ever met. Rick of course was outside taking care of the garden. He notice out of all three of us that there was a storm coming. He did his best to cover the plants before he had to head inside. The news reporter was telling us that a big storm was blowing in. No surprise there since we heard a loud thundering noise and heard the pouring of the rain. We didn’t know how the plants would do that night.

Chris invited Rick to stay the night in our big home. Since he mainly lived in the sunroom from our backyard. Since he told us that gardeners normally never came into the homes of where they were living. Mainly because they were working/helping the people who lived there. However he did come in time to time to help with the cooking. It was written somewhere that a gardener was welcome in the home to help with caring for pets, children and helping with the meals. It sounds like a crazy almost cruel way of looking at it but in some odd way it wasn’t. Rick did what he could do and spend most of his time in the sunroom. Reading lots of gardening books or cook books. Even making some really good coffee in the morning.

Once Rick was over and was staying the night, he made a really good soup. It was very fitting for tonight. We sat down and eat our yummy soup. It warmed us up and we all sat around talking about our day. Rick was shown where the guest bedroom and bathroom was. Then we went off to bed. Throughout  the night the wind blew loudly and rain poured hard. Lighten came and went, leaving it with the loud sounds of thunder. It was hard to fall asleep but somehow we made it through the night.

Well guys! I hope you like this chapter. It shows different things going on in life. Please enjoy!

 

 

 

Journal Entry 2

Author’s Note: Ruby will be reading this. The date will change as she looks through most of the journals that were not as interesting as these. I hope you enjoy still. You have to listen to this song for this chapter. Smile By: Uncle Kracker

Dear Journal,              January 1st

O Journal this is so excited. I can’t hold back on telling you this but I found someone. Yes! Me, I found someone who really sweet and caring. His name is Chris Riverstone. We know each other from high school but I didn’t know if we would be together or not. He asked me out before we finished high school. I told him yes and soon we move out together in this semi small apartment. It was pretty much the cheapest apartment they had but we liked it. Chris was really into music and got a job in Music in the theater we had in town. His love of music took him pretty far. Which was one of the reasons I really loved about him. He would play the piano with ease. As for me, I was working in the Film career. You guessed it, I wanted to be an Actress and I hope to go far as I can go.

This day will be like no other Journal. We been living this apartment for a few weeks now. Chris and I were talking about different things. We were very busy with work and hardly saw each other until later in the evening. I was pretty tired and Chris would made me a nice lovely meal. Then after our meal, we either watch some TV or say “goodnight” to each other. However this night was slightly different. Chris pull me closer and gave me a romantic kiss. This kiss was much deeper then ever before.

Then he said, “My love, would you mind if we go on a nice little walk at the butterfly garden? I think some fresh air would due us some good.”

Trying not to be overwhelmed with sleep and wanting to go to bed, I told him yes. We got into the taxi and headed to the butterfly garden. The butterfly garden has been in Bridgeport since I could remember. I remember my parents talking about them building it and everything. Once they were dong building it, everyone would flock over there to see what it is like. I still enjoy being there. It so pretty and I love seeing the different kinds of butterflies as well. Once we arrived there, Chris and I went inside the butterfly garden. Chris took his guitar out and started to play. The music flew in the room. We were alone since it was fairly late in the evening.

The song was this:

“Your better than the best.
I'm lucky just to linger in your light.
Cooler than the flip side of the pillow that's right.
Completely unaware.
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Let me know that it's okay. Yeah it's okay.
And the moments where my good times start to fade.
Chorus:
You make me smile like the sun,
Fall out of bed,
Sing like a bird,
Dizzy in my head,
spin like a record crazy on a Sunday night.
You make me dance like a fool,
forget how to breathe,
shine like a gold,
buzz like a bee.
Just the though of you can drive me wild.
Oh, you make me smile.
Even when you're gone,
somehow you come along.
Just like a flower pokin' through the sidewalk crack.
And just like that,
you steal away the rain,
and just like that.
Chorus:
You make me smile like the sun,
Fall out of bed,
Sing like a bird,
Dizzy in my head,
spin like a record crazy on a Sunday night.
You make me dance like a fool,
forget how to breathe,
shine like a gold,
buzz like a bee.
Just the though of you can drive me wild.
Oh, you make me smile.
Don't know how I lived without you.
Cause everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes.
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool,
forget how to breathe,
shine like gold,
buzz like a bee,
just the thought of you can drive me wild.
Chorus:
You make me smile like the sun,
Fall out of bed,
Sing like a bird,
Dizzy in my head,
spin like a record crazy on a Sunday night.
You make me dance like a fool,
forget how to breathe,
shine like a gold,
buzz like a bee.
Just the though of you can drive me wild.
Oh, you make me smile.
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh you make me smile.
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile.” Smile By: Uncle Kracker

After he sang me this song, my heart was leaping up with joy. My heart pound some hard and yet I couldn’t pieces it together. We walked in silences after I told him a few times I liked the song. He just smiled and Thanked me a few times. We came to a lovely breach and sat down. We sat there for sometime, we said nothing and did nothing for a while. Then Chris got up. I wondered what was going on. I was such a silly girl at the time, Journal. I didn’t even know he was going to ask me to marry him.

I softly got up after him and asked if it was time to go. He said, “Wait I have something for you.”

Before I could say anything or do anything, he was bending down as if he lost something. Then he place his one knee down and lift up a small box. As he open the box I saw a beautiful ring. My hands covered my mouth before He asked for my hand in marriage. My mind racing and I giggled like a school girl. I told him yes and we embrace each other with a loving hug. He softly pressed his lips against mine and held me close.

January 10th

We were giving time off and spend the remaining days together. We plan on when we would have our wedding. Not wanting to wait for very long. We planned on having a wedding a week after we finished another days of work. Everyone at work was happy for us both. We spend lots of time planning on how we wanted the wedding. If we wanted it private or having a nice wedding. We decided we have a small wedding with family, co-workers and friends. The wedding was held, you guess it the butterfly garden. There was music and dancing. We sang songs and sip fine wine. Everyone slowly left and told us how amazing our wedding was. We then went into our small apartment. That night was the best night of my life. We snuggled into each other arm and slept the night away. Enjoying being husband and wife.

A few days later I started feeling really sick. I didn’t know what was going on but felt really tired. I could hardly get up in bed and starting to throw up whatever I was eating. Chris was beginning to worry and seeing that I was too week to move. He called the doctor to come to our house. He came and check on me. He took some test to see what was wrong. He went off to the lab to see what the matter was since he couldn’t do it at our apartment. Then he came back the same day and told me what surprise me the most. I was pregnant. I was really in shock but Chris thanked the doctor as he left. We finally knew what happen. I started to cry. Not because I was having a child but the fact our home was too big for us.

Then Chris told me that he was looking into finding house. He showed me a few he found while I was sick and laid in bed for a few days. I was happy to see some of the nice looking houses. He told me, that he wasn’t really looking for a house because of us having a child but mainly to find a nicer place to live. Since both he and I were making enough money to get us a better looking house. However since I am pregnant now, it was a better time to move. We decided we would live some of the stuff at the apartment for others to use. Since most of the houses we seen were fully furnished. Once we found a house we liked, we called the people and bought the house. We move in the next day before the baby was due to even arrive at. We wanted to get things ready.

In this time frame of things I left out but totally forgotten to add that our dear friend, Rick Green had moved in. He was our dearest friend and now gardener. He told us the sad news that his parents had recently pasted way and he needed a place to live. Since he was mainly wanted to live his life as a gardener but even a gardener didn’t get much pay. Sadly his house was for closer and he didn’t know where to go. He was worried about living in the streets. Since there was lots of bad people out there who could beat you up and steal things from you. We totally didn’t want him to live in the streets at all.

Chris told me after he moved in what was happening, since I was mainly busy trying to eat more and rest. I was always sore and what not. Before the baby was due to arrive, I grew sick. Chris took me to the hospital where they did test on me. Chris stay by myself for sometime but the doctor soon told him to go home. He needed sleep since he wasn’t getting much from being there. Chris stay home and talked to Rick for a while. I don’t know what they were talking about because I was still in the hospital.  I then went into labor which they told me it was still too early but I still went into labor. The doctor called Chris and Chris rushed in to get there.

I was in so much pain that you couldn’t even understand it but our joy of having a baby turn into a nightmare. I think I must of past out or something because I remember was the doctor rush in and seeing that I wasn’t breathing or something. They then quickly got the baby out which at the time, the child die which I didn’t know of because of me being in so much pain. When I woke up, I felt fine and asked where my baby was. No one told me since they then saw my beautiful brown eyes turn to red. The doctor stared at me with deep sadness.

He said, “Scarlet, I deeply sorry but your child had past while we were trying to save you. It looks like you went into shock while trying to give birth to your daughter and sorry to say she is gone.”

He sighed heavy after saying this. He then went on to tell me that I got really sick too. He didn’t know where it came from or how it happen but it made my eyes turn red. They aren’t sure if they will be like that for a while or the rest of my life. I just sat there crying my eyes out. I thought having a baby would be wonderful but my child almost killed me. I was given some medication and hopes it would help make me feel better. Chris then came in the room and I could tell he too had cried tears of sadness. I was given the bill of health and sent home.

January 25th

The next few weeks past in a blur. It was almost the end of January. I was in the mopping stage of my life. I was still in lost of losing our first child. Deep tears still flow just thinking about it. Chris and Rick did their best for me. They honest did what they could do. The left me alone a few days to let my mind sink in what really happy. In the time that I missed, we had a funeral for our daughter.  Everyone came to it and told us their deep sorry moment for our lose. We thanked everyone for coming. We were left alone at the grave site. I cried for a long time. Chris let me alone to be with our only child that now was gone. I didn’t think of wanting anymore. At least right now. As for my eyes, they are much better now. The went back to their beautiful brown. Which was some sort of bug that happen. They still weren’t really sure the reason to it. Life went on.
