Chapter Two
Natalie: Goodbye. But we just found each other again. Cris, I don't get it. Are you going back to Jen?
Cristian: No, thats not it.
Natalie: Then what? Please, whatever it is I can handle it. All I want is to be with you.
Cris: That can't happen ever.
Nat: Why?
Cris: Because I don't love you. I never loved you. I was just using you to forget your sister.
Nat: My sister? I don't believe you. You said you were over her.
Cris: I'll never be over Jessica. She's my whole heart. Thats why we're getting married.Thats why shes in her bed right now.
Nat: No, No I don't believe you.
Cris: Goodbye Natalie. I'm sorry for everything.
After he leaves Natalie breaks down into her mothers arms.
Nat: Looks like we found Jessica. Shes with my boyfriend.
A little while later Cris shows up at Nora's doorstep.
Nora: Hey, Cristian. What are you doing here at this time of the night?
He notices the small child in her arms.
Cris: I didn't wake Stephen, did I? He looks kinda cranky.
Nora:He gets that from his dad. Come in. Bo's out getting something soft for this one. He's teething and it drives me nuts. We haven't gotton any sleep in days.
Cris: At least you have each other.
Nora: Yeah, and I wouldn't trade either one of them for anything... What can I do for you?
Cris:I heard your sister has moved back to Llanview.
Nora: Yeah, she has. We couldn't be happier.
Cris: Do you know where I can find her?
Nora: Yeah, shes upstairs with her daughter, Gloria. Her husband just up and left them. She's kind of a mess right now. I can get her if you want though.
Cris: I wouldn't ask if it weren't important.
Nora:(She hands the baby to him) You don't mind do you?
Cris: Not at all.
Nora and Susanna arrive a little later. Stephen is asleep in Cristian's arms.
Nora: How in gods name did you do that?
Cris: Its my little secret. (He hands the baby to Nora.)
Nora: I just might have to borrow you sometime. (She kiss his cheek) Your a godsend, Cristian. Thank you. I'll leave you two alone. Would you mind telling Bo I'm in the nursery. I'll keep an eye on Gloria.
Susanna: Thank you sis. (They hug) Alright, Cris. My crazy sister told me you need me for something thats important. What is it?
Cris: I heard you specialize in rape victims.
Susanna: Thats correct. Do you know someone whos been there?
Cris: She refuses to go to the hospital and I'm really worried about her. Will you help her?
Susanna: Let me grab my bag and say goodbye to my sister.
When Susanna goes upstairs he picks up his phone and gets his answering machine.
Cris: Dear god let her be okay.
Susanna: You ready?
Cris: Let's go.
