Secrets to Tell

Pete's POV

I was cleaning the living room when the phone rang. I went to get it.

"Hello." I said.
"Pete, James is in the hospital." Mikey said while crying.
"Mikey, clam down why is he in the hospital?" I said.
"I don't know Pete he just stopped breathing. On top of that Kelsey is cutting again." Mikey was now sobbing.
"Mikey, why is she cutting again?"
"I don't know she won't tell me. I'm really worried about her."
"Everything is going to be ok." I said.
"Pete how the hell do you know everything is ok your newborn isn't in the hospital and your wife isn't cutting again. Pete tell me how the hell do you know."
"I don't know. There is really nothing I can do over the phone."
"Pete how fast can you get here?"
"We'll leave tomorrow."
"Thanks Pete. I have to go. Bye."
"Bye Mikey." I said then hung up.

I finished cleaning then went upstairs to the bedroom to see Jackie crying on the bed. I walked over to and warped my arms around her.

"Petey, James is in the hospital." Jackie said.
"I'm so sorry." I said.
"Pete I more worried about Kelsey." Jackie said while crying.
"Jackie we have to get packed." I said.
"Why, where are we going?" She asked.
"Where did you want to go about an hour ago?"
"Oh my god we're visiting Kelsey." Jackie screamed then gave me a kiss.
"Haha you jump back fast."
"I know, I have lovely mood swings."
"I know but I love your mood swings."
"Epp. I know. I'm tired."
"Well go to bed."
"Fine."

Jackie's POV

I tried to sleep but I couldn't. I was to worried about Kelsey and James.

"Petey." I said.
"Wha?" Pete said.
"Did I wake you?"
"No, I was waiting."
"For what?" I rolled over so my head was on his chest and his hand was on my back.
"Well when you sleep you move around, but you weren't moving around so I knew something was wrong. So I didn't go to sleep I was waiting for you to say something."
"You know me to well."
"I know. Is it about Kelsey?"
I just nodded.
"Petey I can't sleep."
"Jackie this is like the fifth night you couldn't sleep. Is something wrong?"
"I don't really know."
"How can you not know?"
"I just don't"
"Ok Jackie, but if something is wrong you can always come to me."
"I know."
"Are you sure nothing wrong?"
"I don't really know."

I put my head back on Pete's chest.

"Would you like me to sing you back to sleep again?"

I just nodded and he started to sing.

"Thank you Pete."
"Any day." Pete said then gave me kiss on my head.

He sung me to sleep I woke up to see a note next to me. It read
Jackie, All the bags are in the car. I'm downstairs probably eating cereal or watching cartoons. Love, Petey
I walked downstairs to see Pete sitting on the couch in his boxers with a box of cereal, a gallon of milk, and a bowl. I walked downstairs and sat next to him.

"You either can either take the other bowl or you can share." Pete said.
"I'll share."
"So, how did you sleep?"
"Better. Thank you."
"For what?"
"Just being here with me."
"No problem." Pete said then gave me a kiss, "We have to go soon."
"Ok."
