Erik sat up in his room as the girls played in their room. A picture caught his eye. He picked it up. It was a picture of them at their wedding. Right beside was a picture them on their honeymoon. He started reminiscing about when everything was okay.
~*~
(Verse) Do you remember
How we'd hold each other tight?
It was all I had
To get me through the night.
I can't believe that you are gone.
Everything right, it all went wrong.
~*~
They were snuggled up on the beach staring into the sunset as a fire burned in front of them.
Erik stroked Terri's hair as she began to fall asleep in his arms. She yawned and smiled at him. Erik leaned in and pressed his lips to hers in a soft but passionate kiss.
~*~
(Verse) Do you remember
How we kissed?
You said you never felt like this.
I guess I thought it'd never end.
You know that you were my best friend.
~*~
Erik - I love you.
Terri - I love you too.
Erik - I am the luckiest man on earth.
Terri - And I'm the luckiest girl ( another kiss ).
~*~
(Chorus) I cried - and I don't care who knows it.
I cried - I ain't too proud to show it.
I cried - when you said good bye.
(Verse) I wonder
If you ever think of me.
Or am I just another distant memory.
And after all that we've been through
It's just so hard
To give up on you.

They walked up into their honeymoon suite, checking on their kids after brushing their teeth and ordering pineapple to eat.
Erik spun his wife around as she giggled and demanded to be let down. After their snack was done, they put the tray on a stand and Erik played some slow music. They danced for awhile until the girls cried. At 5am they finally fell asleep after another feeding and more dancing.
~*~
(Chorus)
(After modulation-)
I cried and I don't care who knows it
I cried and I ain't too...(to end of chorus)
I cried, I cried, I cried
When you said good-bye.
I cried I cried.

They woke to the gentle ocean breeze, with birds chirping, wind blowing through their room, and yes the girls crying. Smiling at each other, they hugged and kissed then went to feed the girls. After two tries ( Desi in Japan took her steps ), Katelyn walked her first steps.
~*~
The sound of his daughters running into the room brought him back to reality. They hugged Erik as tears started slipping down his face. Mana and Jen sighed as they watched them. The doorbell rang and everyone heads jolted that way. Erik got up to go downstairs and answer carrying his girls in each arm. Mana protested but Erik insisted on answering the door. Jen laughed as Mana threw her hands up in defeat and went downstairs to watch TV. Jen hugged the trio and followed Mana down the stairs, laughing to herself.
Desi and Katelyn were put down as Erik opened the door and saw no-one there. Confused, he stepped out and looked around. Shrugging, he stepped back inside. Closing the door , Erik thought he saw somebody and looked again. ' Now that was weird.' he told himself, bending down to tickle his daughters giving them kisses. The bell rang once more and Erik sighed, throwing it open and almost passed out. The same colored guy who taken Terri before, was now there with Chris, holding a gun at his head.
-----
Erik did as he was told and walked out of the house while Chris watched the little 'brats' who looked they were ready to cry or pounce on him. He fired at the house making them scream their ears. Erik rapidly turned around and ran towards Chris but Carl tackled him down and roughly stood him up. Chris laughed as he turned towards Erik. The girls quietly crept up behind Chris as he threw every insult in the book at him. Who knows how they got past the two men with out being seen but they did, with their little backpacks on as Erik was knocked out cold. Desi and Katelyn jumped in the back and covered themselves up seconds before Erik thrown in and Chris and Carl took off like demons for the highrise.
Mana hoped the tracking devices planted on Erik and the girls would work. Quickly, she dialed the police station and the Chief Harley Skivitts sent people over right away, including him. Jen was still in the shock as the rest of the gang came back from the mall. After everything was spilled, people were speechless. Joey along with everyone else knew that Erik wouldn't have much longer to live once he was in wherever the heck Chris was with his MIB and Terri. Dawn searched for the twins and looked at Mana and said worriedly " Uh Oh."
