Chapter 1
July 4th 2016
Ana's POV
It was a perfect day, until it wasn't.
Christian and I had invited the family and some friends over for independence day. everything was going smoothly; Mia Kate and I, sat on the edge of the pool while watching Sophie, Teddy, phoebe, Ava, and Rose and Gwen's newly adopted son James trying to dunk Rose, and Christian though they weren't being very successful at it. Emma, Christian and I third child, was sitting in my lap not feeling up to playing with the others due to the ear infection she currently had. Emma had started to fuss so I took her in the house to give her some medication and lay her down for a nap. that was the last time I would see her.
when I'd gone up later to wake her up for dinner she wasn't there. at first I thought that she had just managed to crawl out of her crib and was hiding somewhere(hid and seek was one of her favorite games) but as I started to look and couldn't find her I grew more and more frantic finally screaming for Christian. he had rushed to me wanting to know what was wrong and as I stammered out that I couldn't find Emma that she wasn't here he himself had torn apart first her nursery then Teddy and phoebe's rooms then our and with still no sigh of Emma security had started to comb the house from top to bottom. it was only when Taylor went to check the security cameras that we realized that Levi one our newest security was dead the security cameras disconnected and all the footage from them wiped clean. it was then that I knew my baby was gone.
