the doctor about it and see what he can do for it. Okay?" Kattie nodded and got up, "How's the baby?" Jack held Kattie in his arms, "She's sleeping like a baby." Kattie asked, "Does she need to be fed?" Jack answered, "I just fed her and burped her, and layed her down, covered her up, and now she's sleeping." Kattie smiled and kissed him. At that moment Jack just realized that she was shacking a little bit. He pulled back, "Kattie. You're shaking." Kattie looked at her arms and hands, "Oh. I didn't even realize. I guess it's just the nightmare. It scared me to death when I saw him holding our baby and leaving with her." Jack hugged her, "Well, you need to relax. It's extremely bad when you're shaking over a nightmare. It's not good for you. Especially after just giving birth." Kattie looked away at the baby, "I can't take these dreams. They're going to drive me crazy." Jack put his arm around her and led her downstairs, "Come on. Let's go get some breakfast." Kattie nodded, "Okay."
When Kattie and Jack arrived in the kitchen the doctor and George were already in the kitchen eating. Kattie had stopped shaking and sat in front of George. Jack got their breakfast and they started to eat. Jack asked George, "So how was your night?" George answered, "Jolly. A new niece is nothing but great news. So Kattie how was your night? How long did the new baby keep you up?" Kattie looked up at him. She wasn't mad at him, but she was mad at the dream she had had. Kattie got up. As she walked out she said, "I can't do this. I'll be sitting outside" When she was gone George looked at Jack, "What was that all about?" Jack sighed and answered, "She had this dream where Victor came back and took her baby. And then she went back to sleep she had it again. She didn't get much sleep last night." George sighed, "Doc. Is there anything you could give her to stop those dreams?" The doctor shook his head, "Sorry no. Dreams are apart of what you're feeling. In Kattie's case, she's dreaming about her inner fears. There's no medicine that can stop that." Jack sighed. George got up and walked outside to Kattie. She was sitting on the front steps. She was just looking out to the road and the grass. Whatever that was in front of her. George sat next to her, "Sorry." Kattie answered, "For what I'm fine." George continued, "Jack told me about the dream you had twice last night." Kattie just acted as if there was nothing wrong, "Alright. So the dream frightened me. But it's no big deal. It's just a dream." George put his arm around her, "Kattie. I understand that you don't want to talk about it, but it's bothering you. And when something bother's you you have to talk about. It sometimes helps." Kattie replied, "Bothering me. Everything's bothering me. Everything he did, everything I feel as if he's going to do, everyone we've lost. I just can't take all that. Victor has been gone for months and still I can't stop being afraid that he's lurking around every corner just waiting to get me back, and this time I feel as if he's going to try to take my baby as well." George could agree with her there. He too felt as if Victor was still here and planning to take her back once more. And if they weren't careful, he would get her. They needn't forgert that he's not dead and that he's determined. For him, those two qualities put together can only lead to dangerous things. George broke the silence, "Kattie come on back inside. Please. I didn't know what happend until after you left and I had already said what I said." Kattie responded, "You didn't do nothing wrong. I'm not mad at you. And I'm just going to stay out here for a moment longer. You go inside I want to be alone." George kissed her forehead and got up, "Alright. I love you sis." George went inside and up to his room. When he went upstairs he saw Jack holding the baby. Jack asked, "Is Kattie still outside?" George kissed the baby's head and answered, "Yes but she said she wants to be left alone for a little while." Jack answered, "Thanks." Jack went outside and sat next to Kattie. Kattie got up and walked around to the back of the castle. Jack followed, "Kattie come on. I know you want to be alone but I thought that you would want to see your baby. We still have to name her you know." Kattie replied, "You name her, I'll help you with that later, but right now I would like to be alone. Thank you." Jack continued to follow her. They stopped when they were out back and they both sat down on the ground. The baby started crying. Jack rocked her in his arms trying to calm her down. But she wouldn't stop crying. Jack looked at Kattie, "I think she needs a mother's touch." Kattie took the baby and cradled her in her arms. The baby stopped crying a moment later. Kattie smiled and looked at Jack, "Men truely are hopeless. They can't get the baby to stop crying so they hand them over to the mother." Jack smiled and kissed her, "You think I'm hopeless?" Kattie shook her head, "No you're not hopeless. But you just did what all fathers do when the baby's crying. I love you." Jack replied, "I love you. Now lets go inside, I think the baby needs her diaper changed." Jack got up and helped Kattie up. They walked back around and went upstairs. Kattie changed her diaper and layed her down for a nap. Kattie layed down as well. Jack kissed her and left. Kattie fell asleep a few minutes later. She was really tired. She would have to deal with the dream if it came back again. Kattie fell asleep and about 15 minutes later Kattie had the same dream again.
Chapter 21: What Happends in the Dream
Kattie was walking with Jack in the hallway up to their room. They were returning from a ball that they had attended. They were laughing and kissing, until they got up to the room. When they got to the room they both stopped in their tracks. When they both looked into the room they seen someone standing over the baby. The light was on and they saw it was Victor. Victor was smiling at Kattie. Kattie looked at Jack, "Jack. Get him away from the baby." Jack looked at her and shook his head, "I'm sorry baby. I can't handle him this time. You're on your own." Jack walked away and Kattie yelled, "Jack! Don't leave me alone! She's your baby too!" Kattie stopped and turned back around to Victor who was still smiling at her. It was as if he controled everything that had happend. Kattie looked from him to the baby. Victor then picked up the baby. Kattie went over to him, "Put her down! Leave her alone! She's just a baby! Leave her alone!" Victor pushed Kattie and she fell to the floor. Kattie sat up to her elbows and tried to get up, but it was as if her legs were paralized. Victor put the baby down and went over to Kattie. Kattie tried to move away but she couldn't. Victor got down to the floor and kissed her on her neck. He continued to kiss her on her neck and whispered, "I'm going to make you sorry that you left me. We could've been happy together. I would've raised her as my own. I still will. But you are coming back with me this time. I'll keep you happy. Unlike that prince who just left you to someone he thought would hurt you and the baby. I won't ever leave." Kattie cried, "Please Victor! Stop! Stop! I don't love you! Leave me and my baby alone!" Victor stopped and stood up, "Fine. But you'll want me later. 'Cause you'll want something that I have." Victor looked at the baby, "Or someone." Kattie tried to get up but she couldn't, "Victor you leave her alone! No! Don't you touch her!" Victor picked up the baby and walked towards the wall. As he walked towards the wall he disappeared. When he disappeared Kattie was able to get up. She ran to the empty crib and screamed. She fell to the ground screaming. Her heart was broken. Her love had abandoned her and Victor took her child. She felt as if her life was over.
Chapter 22: Waking Up From The Terrible Nightmare
Kattie was still asleep when she stood up screaming. When she did Jack and George came running upstairs to her. When Jack came in Kattie was standing beside the bed with her eyes closed tight and her hands gripped in her hair pratically pulling her hair out. Jack went over to her and put his hands on her shoulders. Kattie was screaming, "Jack don't leave me! No! Victor leave me alone! Don't touch her! Leave my baby alone! No!" Jack shook her a little bit to wake her up, "Kattie! Wake up! It's only a dream!" Kattie then popped her eyes open and looked around. She saw Jack holding her and George standing right beside him looking at her. Kattie breathed heavily crying and sat down to the floor. Jack kneeled down sitting on his knees, "Kattie. it was only a dream." Kattie said, "You left me alone with him. He took our daughter. And I couldn't get her back. Jack don't leave me." Jack hugged her, "I'm not ever going to leave you. I'm not going anywhere. And Victor's not coming back. He won't get our baby." George said, "I'll take care of the baby. I'll leave you two in here to talk." Jack nodded. George picked up the crying baby and left shutting the door behind him. Jack pulled back and made her look at him, "Kattie. I will never leave you. I need you to know that. I won't ever leave you or our daughter. I love you." Kattie replied, "I know that and I love you too. It's just the dream scared me. That's all i'm fine now." Kattie wiped the tears away from her face and stood up. Jack stood up and looked at her, "You're not fine. This nightmare scared you and that matters. It matters to you and it matters to me." Kattie looked at him, "Jack. I'm fine okay. I'm just not going to sleep so I won't have the nightmare again." Kattie kissed Jack and left the room. She went to the library and sat on the couch. Jack stood in the room and sighed. He went into George's room. The baby was sleeping on the bed and George was sitting in the chair next to the bed. George got up when he walked in, "Is she alright?" Jack shook his head, "No. She's not okay. And she won't let me help her. And now she's saying that she won't go to sleep anymore. At all. How's the baby?" George answered, "She's asleep. Kattie will get over it. She always does. She's strong. She won't let this get in her way." Jack sat on the side if the bed and looked at his daughter, "I hope you're right."
The baby was hungry and Jack was feeding her. Kattie was still in the library reading a book. George went into the library and sat next to Kattie. Kattie put her book down and smiled, "So brother, what brings you down here to the library?" George answered, "Your
