Before It Is Too Late

Rutherford had been fast asleep with his wife laying on his chest when his ears picked up sounds of rushed footsteps in the corridor outside.

However, he did not think too much about it as he continued to rest in his comfortable bed.

It did not take long before the footsteps came to a halt before their door and loud banging noises filled his ears.

His eyes shot open with anger and frustration apparent in them as he glanced at his beloved wife.

Thankfully, she was still asleep and the noises had not yet disturbed her.

'Who could it…' His irked thoughts and his body froze when he heard the pitiful screams coming from the door.

The voice he heard was someone he knew all too well.

His Vonna was crying out in such distress that his heart was aching for her.

Just as he was about to carefully move Raylene from his embrace and put her back on the bed, his wife too jolted awake due to her child's cries.
