Rating: PG-13 [language]

Summary: Alyssa comes to a decision about Chris and he hasn't ever been this happy before.





Closing her eyes, his words tumbled around in her head, falling into her heart. This could not be happening, not to her, not at all. Chris was not falling in love with her. She was just a silly teenage coffee waitress. It was not love. It could not be love. But then why did she want to crawl into his lap and stay there forever?

Lips br...

Rating: PG-13 [language]

Summary: Chris and Alyssa both receive advice regarding the other.






He had agreed to her terms. They seemed reasonable, prudent at the time. But now four hours later, lying wide awake in his guest bed once more, Chris was not sure he liked her rules at all. Maybe if he hadn’t kissed her, hadn’t felt the immediate spark from that innocent exchange, it would not feel like such a big deal. But it was; it certainl...

Rating: PG-13 [language]

Summary: Chris returns to Alyssa's coffehouse again.






Sleeping late on a Saturday morning was not that weird for Alyssa, especially when she worked the night before. But Judith had never cared for it and snuck into her older sister’s bedroom around nine in the morning. She sat on the floor near Alyssa’s bed, staring up at her, hoping to silently wake her. Groaning Alyssa did wake and turn over, presenti...

Title: Angels in a Cage: Chapter Sixteen, Coffee Leaves
Rating: R [language, alcohol use, violence, sexual situations]

Summary: A cup of coffee is never just a cup of coffee in Seattle. So many lives change because of it. So, so many lives.





Not a day passed when she didn’t think of him, but not necessarily because she had the choice. In the five months they had been together, officially together, Alyssa spent all of her free time with Zack. The only issue is it wasn’t entirely by choice. He ...

Rating: NC-17 [language, alcohol use, fellatio]

Summary: Chris's drunkeness increases; Alyssa has a great 15th birthday.

Author's Note: This will be the last year long chapter. Starting next chapter, I will slow time down. Why? Because Chris and Alyssa are about to cross paths.





If it hadn’t been for Susan, he most certainly would not be dressed up and attending lame parties. However his wife thought it important to rub elbows with plastic pers...

Rating: R [language, alcohol use]

Summary: Chris makes a new friend; Alyssa loses one.





Leaving the stage with endorphins coursing through his body and sweat rolling off his skin, Chris’s wild eyes glanced around backstage. He joked with a passing roadie before heading to what could hardly be classified as catering. All he wanted was a beer anyways. A man about his age stood shyly nearby. Had Chris not been post-concert, he likely would have not ...

Rating: R [language, alcohol use]

Summary: Alyssa has growing pains. Chris has wife pains.





Sitting on a dirty couch in Kim’s living room, Chris scratched his balls and took a long draught from the beer bottle in his hand. While he was glad to be back in Seattle, be back home, and no longer touring and opening for bands he would rather not associate with, he also had no desire to go home to his own home. He was fairly certain that Susan had like...

Rating: R [language, alcohol use]

Summary: Alyssa is growing up, that's what sixth grade is about. Chris is... angsty.





The day had come. The album was finished. For the most part he was satisfied with it. The band had completely jelled, things were going well. Then why was he so fucking upset, so depressed?

Staring into a glass of beer, hidden in the dark recesses of a bar, Chris sighed. Pearl Jam was lingering about as was most of the me...

Summary: Alyssa is having some issues. Oh and so is Chris.




Heading down the hallway, his shiny patent leather tasseled shoes clicking on the concrete floor, Howard passed elementary classrooms with their doors propped open. Classes were running about the jungle gym outside for afternoon recess, though it was just about over. If Howard hadn’t been close to the school, Alyssa likely would have missed the rest o...

Summary: Chris makes a cute girl. Alyssa and Judith bond.




Looking at the picture in his hand, Chris frowned. It wasn’t like he thought he wasn’t photogenic at all and Susan often reminded him that he was sexy. But he really hadn’t expected his passport photo to look like a young Native American girl. He was only hoping he could keep it hidden from the rest of the band. But with his luck, Chris wasn’t going to b...

Summary: Chris and the guys have a band meeting. Alyssa grows up.





He could feel her eyes on him, drilling him with words unspoken. Rather than open his eyes and speak with her, Chris rolled onto his side, his back to his girlfriend. He knew what she wanted to ask as it was the same thing she had asked every day for the past few weeks. And he did not want to discuss it any more then, regar...

Rating: R [sexual frustrations, language, drug and alcohol use]

Summary: Chris hangs out with the guys after a long tour. Alyssa has a birthday and some summer fun.




The last thing he wanted in the world currently was to look at the ugly mugs of his band mates. Months of touring across the country in a too small van led to Chris being intimately aware of things about the drummer, bassist, and guitarist. And some time and space apart from them would be...

Summary: Chris and Susan really do seem to belong together. Alyssa has a very happy Christmas and new year. And *gasp* there's a surprise I wasn't expecting.




With a giggle, Susan looked down at the Christmas ribbon wrapped about Chris’s waist. Surprisingly both had Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off from work. While they were obligated to spend some of that time with their families, both intended to spend mo...

Rating: PG-13 [mild language & violence]

Summary: The summer of '86 had a lot of changes for Chris and Alyssa. But were they for the better?




Standing over Alyssa’s suitcase, Howard frowned. For two months he had fought it, even tried to pick some place kid friendly. But everyone at work convinced him, probably with urging by Marilyn, to take his new wife on a honeymoon before the baby was born, without Alyssa. It was something that resistance...

Summary: Alyssa's family grows. Is Chris being domesticated?




Seated on a plush chair, reading a book, Alyssa swung her legs back and forth. Occasionally she looked up when Marilyn stepped out of the dressing room, but mostly she focused on the fictional world in her hands. Ever since her soon-to-be stepmother started gifting her with chapter books, Alyssa couldn’t get enough. She spent most of her time du...

Rating: PG-13 [mild language]

Summary: Alyssa seems to happily adapt to life wherever. Chris likes Skittles.




It was a completely temporary solution but the only one he currently had. And each passing moment made him reconsider it. But what other option did he have? A stranger clearly had to watch his young daughter for awhile, especially with his promotion. Choosing a daycare that fits his standards, however, had yet to happen. So there he was, on th...

Summary: Alyssa's life is about to change. Chris has a band now, so shouldn't that mean changes too?




Looking at the scrap of paper on his desk, Howard sighed. He knew what it meant, even from the cryptic words. And he wanted to, he really did, but he couldn’t because that would mean leaving his daughter with his wife overnight. There was no way Howard was could do that. He couldn’t go.

Finger pressing th...

Summary: Chris finally has a real band... or something. The influence of Alyssa's mother stretches far.




With a few instructions, the young children were released into free play time. While the others cheered and hurried off to their favorite play areas, the young brunette girl remained sitting on the nap mats. She hadn’t really talked much with the other preschoolers or even the teacher. During their play t...

Title: Angels in a Cage: Chapter One, Seeds of Fate
Rating: PG-13 [mild language]

Summary: The seeds of so much are placed in the ground....



Sitting in a plastic chair, crinkling hospital gown covering his clothing, Howard looked down at the bundle in his arms as he fed the baby a bottle. She was absolutely perfect. Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes, a cute button nose, a soft mass of dark curls, large soft eyes gazing up at him completely enamored him with his daughter. He could not think of any ...
