The house was clear when I got there; even the baby was gone. Shit gave me a start for a second. It's been a while since Hitler's youth or one of the others hasn't been here to greet me. "Kat?" I walked through the house getting pissed by the second.
She was in bed with the covers up to her chin. I took a deep breath and tried for calm. Instead of yelling the house down like I wanted to, I just kicked off my shit kickers and crawled into bed behind her. "Colton you're home."
"Yeah baby I'm home." Her voice sounded so little and lost, and then a thought hit me that had my guts going cold. "Swear to fuck Kat if you're sick I'm gonna be pissed way the fuck off, look at me." She started to giggle snort. That's a start at least, even though I was sure she was laughing at me.
"What kinda sense does that make crazy person?"
"You're not sick?" My hand went to her heart where I could feel it beating strong and full of life. She shook her head no. "Then what is it?"
