Lost and Found

by E person

Chelsea is kidnapped one night, completely out of the blue. When everyone suspects Vaughn to be the culprit, he'll have to step out of the background and break out of his quiet shell to prove that he's innocent and that his love for Chelsea is genuine.

1. Prologue

Disclaimer: I don't own Harvest Moon.

Chelsea's POV

"Mama, wake up, wake up!"

I opened my sleep filled eyes slowly, squinting as the bright sunlight made my eyes burn. "What's wrong, honey?" Jesse, my only child of seven years old, was jumping up and down beside mine and Vaughn's double bed. Her brunette pigtails bounced as her violet eyes sparkled.

"Come to the kitchen, Mama! Daddy has a surprise for you!" Jesse exclaimed excitedly, her small, warm hands reaching beneath the green and brown blanket to grab mine.

I cracked a smile, her vivacity contagious, and got out of bed. I quickly slipped on my slippers and we made our way to the kitchen, my red shoes clacking on the tiled floor until we got there.

"Daddy, I brought Mama!" She said happily as I came stumbling in. I looked up to see Vaughn standing at the table full of delicious looking breakfast, his silver hair still messed up from sleep.

"Mornin' Chelsea," he said as he made his way to me, like magnets being attracted, and kissed me softly on my lips. I heard Jesse giggle as she watched and Vaughn and I smiled at our bundle of joy.

"Jesse, can you give mama and I some time alone?" Vaughn asked, tousling her hair. She nodded with a smile and ran to her room, most likely with her ear pressed against the door. "Do you remember what day this was ten years ago?" He whispered softly to me, holding me close so that his forest like fragrance tickled my nose.

"Wasn't it the day I went missing?" I semi-guessed.

"No, it was the day that I found you."

Hey, readers! This is my first Harvest Moon fanfic, so I hope it's interesting so far. This is only the prologue but I want to know what you think so far and if the idea intrigues you. I'll try to update soon but, because of school, I don't have a definite date to give you guys.

*The next chapters will definitely be longer than this; this was only the prologue.*

The idea and for this story was given to me by swingdancer23. You rock and this story is dedicated to you :)

Thanks for reading and please leave a review.
