Chapter 3


Tim rolls his chair into the middle of his bedroom and stops. He slowly looks around the room. Nothing has been changed since Chris left. Pictures of the couple adorn the wall and on the dresser.

He rolls over next to the bed. He gently runs his hand along his husband's side of the bed. The very place Chris took his last breath.

Could Adam be right? Is Chris here? After all, Adam does have a special gift. Or could it be his mind just trying to ease the pain of losing his brother?

Tim reaches and takes Chris's pillow and holds it close to his chest.

"Chris?" Tim whispers. "Are you here? Adam said that he feels your presence. I hope he's right and I hope your spirit gets strong enough to interact with me. I miss you so much."

He hangs his head and hugs the pillow tighter. He slowly raises his head as he thinks he feels a light touch on the back of his head.

A wave of disappointment crashes down on him as he looks up and sees the air conditioning vent in the ceiling.

Laying the pillow back down on the bed, he turns around and heads back to the living room.

"Chance? Is the air conditioner on?" Tim asks.

"Not that I know of. Why?" Chance answers, pulling his attention away from the movie that he and Austin were watching.

"I.. Uh, I'm just a little cold." Tim says as he rubs his arms.

"Let me check. It shouldn't be on." Chance says as he gets up to check the thermostat. "Nope. It's off."

"Oh. Okay." Tim nods. Could that touch have been from his husband? "Where's Adam?"

"He's upstairs in his and Avi's room playing a game, I think." Austin answers, his eyes never leaving the movie. 

"Do you need help with something, Cuz?" Chance asks.

"No, I, uh, I was just wanting to talk to him about something." Tim says slightly shaking his head.

Chance knew that Tim and Adam have always been close but since Chris's death, their bond had gotten stronger. They were each other's support.

"I'll get him for you." Chance says as he pauses the movie.

"Are you okay?" Austin asks when he notices that Tim had a somewhat bewildered look on his face.

"What? Oh, yeah. I'm fine." Tim nods as he runs a hand through his hair.

"You just look a little confused." Austin says.

Tim answers by shaking his head and looking toward the window.

"Whatcha need, Timmy?" Adam asks as he and Chance come into the room.

"Uh... can I talk to you for a minute?" Tim asks.

"Yeah, sure." Adam nods and Tim turns heading back to his bedroom.

"Close the door." Tim says softly as he turns his chair to face his brother-in-law.

"What do you need... to talk... about?" Adam says as his eyes scan the room.

"Adam, I think, I'm not positive, but I think Chris might have touched me." Tim says, his eyes wide as he stares at the blond.

"What? Are you serious?" Adam says as he slowly sits down on the bed.

"I was in here alone just kinda talking to him. Telling him that I missed. I had his pillow." Tim says as he reaches for Chris's pillow. "It still smells like him. I hugged it and lowered my head to smell it and I felt something touch the back of my head. I looked up and seen the air vent so I thought it might have just been the air turning on. I asked Chance if the air conditioner was turned on and it wasn't."

"You know when I walked in here. I noticed a weird feeling. I really don't know how to explain except it felt as if someone was standing beside me. But it wasn't a bad feeling, more of a comforting feeling." Adam nods as he looks around the room again.

"Do you... do you see anything?" Tim asks quietly.

"No, but the feeling is still here." Adam answers. "A very calming feeling."

"Chris?" Tim says in a soft whisper. "We know it's you. You're still watching over us. Is there any way possible that you can show us that you're here?"

They sit in complete silence as they stare at each other. Both seemed to be holding their breath as they listened for anything out of the ordinary.

Tim takes in a sudden breath and Adam's eyes widen as Tim's hair is slightly brushed back.

"Oh, my God." Tim whispers, still frozen in place. His eyes filling with tears.

"Chris?" Adam says with a smile. "I knew it was you. I just knew it."

"You're here. You're really here." Tim smiles as a tear rolls down his cheek.

"Maybe if we get a tape recorder like those ghost hunters had, we could do one of those EVP sessions and he could talk to us." Adam says with an excited look on his face.

"Oh, my God. Wait." Tim says as he rolls over to the dresser and opens a drawer and pulls out Chris's wallet. He begins to go through the wallet. "If I'm not mistaken.... yeah, here it is."

Tim holds up a card that Zak had given Chris when he and his crew was there.

"But we don't want to get rid of Chris, Timmy." Adam says, shaking his head.

"No, I know we don't. But I'm sure those are just not regular tape recorders. They may be more sensitive. Zak could tell us where we can order one." Tim explains.

"You're right. I never thought of that. That's a good idea." Adam nods. "Are you going to call him?"

"Yeah, I'll call him." Tim nods as he looks back down at the card in his hand.

"It would be cool to have one of those infrared cameras or one of those thermo-imagers." Adam smiles.

"Yeah, it would, but you're talking a lot of money, Adam." Tim says.

"Chris left you a lot of money." Adam comments.

"Yeah, but you actually think Chance is going to let me spend it on ghost hunting equipment. I don't think so." Tim chuckles and shakes his head. "I just gotta figure out a way to slip buying a recorder past him."

Tim rolls his chair over to the foot of the bed where Chris's cowboy hat hung on the bedpost. He takes the hat in his hand and looks around the room.

"Okay, Cowboy. You've let us know that you're here. Just be patient. We'll figure out how you can communicate with us even more." Tim smiles.

"Hey, guys?" Chance knocks as he opens the door.

"Yeah?" Tim answers as he hangs the cowboy hat back on the bedpost.

"Listen, I think Kelsey may be fixing to go into labor. I need to carry her to the hospital. Will y'all be okay?" Chance asks.

"Where is she now?" Adam asks.

"Austin is helping her to the car." Chance answers.

"Of course we'll be okay. You want us to call Rob?" Adam asks as they left the bedroom.

"I already have. He's meeting us there." Chance says calmly as he grabs his keys, wallet and phone. "I'll take Austin with me so you won't have to deal with him."

"How are you so calm? I would have already crapped in my pants." Tim says as he watches his cousin.

"I'm a trained fireman." Chance chuckles. "We deal with emergencies all the time."

"Maybe so but this is Kelsey's first time having a baby so I would imagine she's wanting you to hurry your ass up." Tim replies, tilting his head.

********
