The kettle on the stove began to whistle and Tabitha got up from the floor. "Time to make coffee, are you coming?" Aidan laughed and continued working on his puzzle.
"Yeah, yeah I know you don't like coffee. But it's my sweet nectar and I need it." She ruffled his hair and made her way into the kitchen, making a mental note to ask if they wanted her to cut his hair before the weekend. In the year she had worked for them they'd learned she could bake, sew, fix the broken dishwasher, and cut hair. She turned voluntarily from Nanny to house keeper and handy girl.
"Your momma taught you well, too well. Whoever gets you is gonna be a lucky one." Nick had told her several times after her would come home from shift to find she had in their words 'out done herself.' They had raised her pay after the first month and insisted she accept it if she was going to insist on helping around the house.
Tabitha set the timer on the stove for the French press and moved to the cabinet pulling out two cereal bowls. "It's cereal Friday bud!" She called over her shoulder to the living room. A crash came instead of his usual reply of a giggle or one of the few words he had in his small vocabulary. "Aidan? Are you alright?" Tabitha set down the cheerios box and made her way to the living room. "Bud?" she called out as she walked through the doorway of the living room.
A loud pop rang out and she felt herself fall against the wall and pain ripped into her side. She grabbed at her side as she slid down the wall. She looked up at a masked man standing in the living room, his gun still pointed at her and Aidan tucked under his arm.
Aidan kicked out against the man and bit him hard and the man hollered out, dropped him and he came running over to her. Tabitha wrapped her arms around him painfully tight and started to scream. The man came over and put the gun to her head.
"Shut your mouth." He growled. "Give me the boy."
"NO!" She yelled and continued to hold Aidan as tight to her chest as she possible could. She could feel his little fingers digging into her shirt, crying hard.
The man pulled at him several times before pushing the gun hard against her temple. "Let him go."
"NO!" She yelled again and started to scream for help. The man turned his gun around in his hand and started to hit her with the butt of his gun.
She knew he wasn't going to stop; he was going to take him. "It'll be okay. Your Daddies will find you, I promise." She said to Aidan before letting him go and she grabbed at the gunman. Her one hand was on his hair the other on his arm digging furiously in with her nails.
The man cried out and hit her hard, knocking her to the floor. Her eyes crossed and Aidan was picked up off the floor. The man put something over his mouth and she watched as he fell limp in his arms. He coddled him like a sleeping child and left through the side door.
Tabitha fought the tears and the pain and pulled herself over to the coffee table where her purse was. Digging around she found her phone. Her eyes were beginning to blur.
"911 Whats your emergency."
"Someone just took Aidan."
"Ma'am? Are you hurt?"
"Yes. I-I was shot. But he took Aidan, a man, he kidnapped the boy I watch."
"What is the address you are at ma'am?"
"1347 Walnut Lane," The phone fell to the ground and her hands grabbed at her side. The room was spinning darker and darker and she could hear the woman's voice on the phone calling out to her over and over until nothingness enveloped her.

Greg tapped his fingers across the desk waiting for the printer to finish his report. The last thing of the day always took so much longer than any other of the projects he had before him. The others had already gone to the lockers to change. He watched as the documents made their way to the tray counting down with only six more to go. Greg looked up as the doors to his lab opened expecting to find Nick. Instead he found two officers entering through the doors.
"Whatever it is boys the day shift will have to take care of it, I am done as of right….." the last page finished and slid on top of the pile. "Now." Greg looked up and smiled at them but let his smile fall away when he saw that they were not sharing in his end of the day happiness.
"Mr. Sanders, I'm Officer Martin, and this is Officer Rayes. There has been an incident at your home."
Greg dropped the papers that were still hot off the printer. "Are Aidan and Tabitha alright?"
"Sir your nanny was shot, and your son has been kidnapped."
Greg just looked at them.
"Sir?"
"Where is she?" Greg asked grabbing onto the back of his chair.
"They took her to Haven Medical Hospital."
"Okay." Greg nodded and started to walk towards the door. "I need to find Nick." He said more to himself than to the officers who followed him as he made his way dazed towards the locker rooms.
He could hear laughter coming from the locker room echoing down the hall and he pushed the door open walking in. Everyone looked over to see who had come in and Nick stood up from the bench as soon as he saw his face. "What's going on Greggo?"
Greg opened his mouth and then shut it putting his hand to his face rubbing it flat against his forehead. "Somebody shot Tabitha, and they took Aidan." When the words came from his mouth the tears that had been threatening to fall escaped from his eyes. He brought his other hand up to his face and covered his eyes. "Oh my god, someone took Aidan."
Nick was across the room and had Greg tight to his chest in three strides. One arm was wrapped around his waist holding him up the other behind his head, curled into his shoulder. "It's okay babe, I got you." He said to Greg before looking at the two officers. "What happened?"
"As far as we know a man broke into your home and shot your nanny when she tried to interfere. She is at the hospital receiving help; we need to go to your house and see if anything is missing or out of the ordinary."
"Alright." Nick kissed the top of Gregs head. "It's going to be okay." He let him go and moved to his locker grabbing his jacket and keys.
"Nick what's going on?" Catherine asked finding her voice.
"Who's Aidan?" Sara asked.
Nick had made his way to Gregs side.
"Nick?" Catherine said loudly. "Who is Aidan?"
He turned to them, his eyes cast on the floor before scanning his friends in the room. "Aidans our son." He said quietly before turning, his arm going around Gregs shoulders and they followed the officers out.
