"Hello ladies, are we all comfy?" a mysterious voice asked in the background.

He turned on a light causing all of the women to flinch and shut their eyes tightly. Sam was the first to reopen her eyes and look straight at Franco. Glaring at him as much as she could possibly manage. He pointed at them and signaled them to all stand, which they did. All knowing that this man was potentially dangerous. He stood close to the bars, examining all of them. He threw Sam a jacket, which she gratefully put on. Then he pointed to Claudia and waved her forward. She looked like she was about to resist when Lulu pushed her forward.

"Claudia Corinthos, you married your husband as a business deal, correct?" He asked.

Claudia nodded, not caring to actually talk to this mad man. She had already dealt with one her whole life.

"So, your husband has no true love toward you. So you have no true worth to your husband." Franco concluded.

Claudia swallowed hard, not clearly knowing where he was taking this. The others watched closely, especially Carly.

"Leave her alone, Franco!" Sam screamed.

"Ah, Sam McCall. You're a very feisty little thing. I like that, keep it that way, you're safer."

All of them stood there and eyed each other. None were sure what was going to happen next.

"Too many." Franco mumbled.

Before Claudia could know what was happening Franco had opened the cell door and had her in a choker hold with a knife to her throat. A few tears slipped through her eyes, as she moved her hand to where her baby was and closed her eyes. She always knew she would die but not while she was pregnant.

"WAIT! Don't hurt her!" Carly yelled.

Franco looked at Carly like she was crazy. Sam and Lulu looked at her for an explanation.

"She's pregnant." Carly explained to everyone's surprise.

Franco's face softened once Carly said something and pushed Claudia back into the cell. She would've fallen flat on her face if Sam hadn't caught her.

"Ladies this is how the game works. We will all be traveling, sporadically. To make sure Mr. Morgan and Mr. Corinthos don't track us down right. If either get too close we will all separate and whoever Jason decides to save is the one who will survive."

Franco walked away after that. Claudia collapsed onto the floor, letting out a deep, exasperated breath, putting her head in her hands. She could feel the stress getting to her. Sam and Lulu sat on each side of her and Carly sat in front of her. Claudia knew she couldn't cry, especially since all of them were right there. All the women didn't know how they truly felt about Claudia, but all knew that she had already had one miscarriage and they didn't want her to have another.

Carly felt already protective of Claudia because she was carrying her son's brother or sister.

"How'd you know I was pregnant?" Claudia asked Carly.

"Well, you had this look of fear, but not for yourself. Then I saw your hand on your stomach. That was a dead giveaway." Carly explained.

The women all examined each other. Sam read Claudia's stressed out face.

"Look, Claudia, we've all lost our babies before. We know how it is. I can tell you right now, I don't know about these other two, but I will try everything possible to keep you and that baby safe." Sam told her honestly.

She put her arm lightly around Claudia, before looking at the other two to promise the same.

"I will too." Carly told her.

"I'll do whatever I can." Lulu promised.

Sam's Apartment:

He knocked on her door. No answer. He tried to knock again. Still no answer. What was wrong with Sam? He knocked one last time, before pulling the key out from under the mat. He opened the door to an empty apartment. What in the world? He thought to himself.

"Sam! Sam! Where are you!?"

He went to her room and looked through all the closets. Sam wasn't anywhere. There were no signs of struggle in the apartment itself. So maybe she just went out….?

She had invited him over though, so she wouldn't have left without calling him or something. He decided to look out where the hot tube was. It was still on and the water was practically bubbling over. Water was splashed all over the concrete. To him that was a sign of struggling. He turned off the hot tub before looking all over the porch for a sign of another person. Footprints or dirt anything that would prove she was taken.

"Who took you Sam?"

He crouched down and examined the ground. There was nothing. Not a spot of another person being there. Who could've taken her? He thought hard and long. Was there an actual mob threat? No, but that wasn't counting…….Franco. He took off running out of her apartment. He had to warn Carly and Jax. He wouldn't let anyone else be hurt, because of his decisions.

Carly and Jax's house:

Jax sat there in their bed waiting for her when Josslyn started crying and screaming her head off. He figured Carly was still cleaning up or tending to the person who had come to their house so late. It was probably Sonny. He had no regard or respect for Jax's family as long as he got what he wanted.

"I got her, Carly!"

He went to the nursery and opened the door quietly, not to startle the newborn. She stopped crying as soon as Jax got close enough to where she could see him, making Jax smile. He had waited so long for this: to have a family with Carly. Technically he already did, but sharing a baby just made it more worthwhile.

"There's daddy's girl. Why aren't you sleeping? Huh, little one? Is it because you didn't say goodnight to mommy? Why don't we go down and see what she's doing."

He picked her up and wrapped her little pink blanket around her. Then he started the journey down the steps. Carly was no where to be found. What in the world? He thought to himself, looking down at his daughter one more time.

"Carly?! Where are you?"

The Aussie started to look for his wife when he stumbled upon the still open door. He stepped outside real quick and looked around. Where was his wife? All of the sudden Jason ran up.

"I need to speak with Carly now!"

He was out of breath and sounded urgent. Carly was Jax's wife, though and he wanted to know what the hell was going on.

"She's disappeared. What's going on Jason?! Is my wife in danger?"

Jason walked into the house. His best friends house. A house that he had never seen without Carly in it. He remember fondly the day him, Jax, Michael, Morgan, and Carly(of course) had brought Josslyn home. He signaled for Jax to sit, but he refused. Instead he put the baby in her bassinet and stood there, staring at him.

"The artist, Franco. You know him. Crimson held an art show for him. Anyways he's obsessed with me and my job. I don't know why so don't ask. I believe he took Sam, and with the looks of it, he took Carly too."

Jax finally took a seat on the couch, what Jason had just told him knocked the wind out of him. His wife was kidnapped by a probably psychotic artist. Obsessed with death.

"Jason find her or I swear to God.." Jax trailed off.

"I'm going to find both of them."

Claudia and Sonny's house:

Sonny walked into the empty living room, the terrace doors were wide open. He rolled his eyes before going to them and closing them. I've told her at least fifty times to keep those doors closed. He thought to himself about his wife. He was partially annoyed when he wondered where his wife was in the first place. He went to ask Max, but got nothing but an indecisive shrug of the guards wide shoulders. He went back to the living room.

"Claudia! I'm home."

He yelled hoping to hear her walk down the steps in her red high heels. He listened. There was nothing, it was absolutely silent. He pulled out his cell phone and called her number. He just wanted to make sure she was okay and that she took a guard with her. It rung three times and then went to her voicemail. He went and looked at the terrace doors again. No signs of forced entry, so where the hell was Claudia. He then spotted her cell phone on the coffee table. She never went anywhere without her cell phone. He looked over the generalized area of the coffee table and the chair, he spotted something on the ground so he picked it up. He soon saw that he was going to be a father again. From his OCD he also realized that the chair was not straight like he usually had it and there was a dirt footprint on the floor.

She had been taken, and she was pregnant with his child, again. There were no new mob threats though, at least none that Jason had warned him about. He pulled out his cell again, this time to call Jason.

"Jason, Claudia's disappeared. I need you over here, now."

He slammed the phone off and sat in the chair. He looked at the pregnancy test and a few tears slipped from his eyes at the thought of his child and wife in danger. Soon enough Jason came rushing in the room, he noticed the test in Sonny's hand.

"What is that?"

"This? This is a positive pregnancy test, that my wife took before she was taken. Jason you have to find her, now!"

He slammed his fist on the table, Jason didn't even flinch. He was used to this behavior from his best friend and boss. Jason felt like he was being torn into pieces. He was loyal to Sam, because she was the woman he loved; he was loyal to Carly, because she was his best friend; and now he was loyal to Claudia, because she was carrying Sonny's child and was Sonny's wife.

"Sam and Carly have disappeared too. Look I didn't tell you this because I thought I could handle it, but there's a new threat. His name is Franco, the artist."

Jason felt better telling Sonny this, but worse at the look of disappointment on the much older man's face.

"You thought you could handle it, but obliviously you were wrong! Carly just had a baby and without her medicine she could stroke out possibly. Claudia can't handle this kind of stress now that she's pregnant. The only one I know that can handle this is Sam. Jason find this guy and kill him before he gets to more of the people we're supposed to protect."

"I'm sorry, Sonny."

"Jason just bring my wife home!"

Jason got out of there quickly not wanting to face anymore of Sonny's wrath. He had to find them, this was his mistake. He wouldn't let any of those people pay.

Lulu's Apartment:

Dante made himself look more put together before knocking on the door. No answer. That's odd. He knocked again, still nothing. He was starting to get worried. What if Franco identified Lulu at Ronnie's room? What if he knew a way to get to him was through Lulu? He started to pound on the door.

"Lulu!! Let me in!! Come on."

A smile dropped hard from his face at her not answering the door. He pounded his fist on the door one more time. Nothing. His heart rate started to speed up as he dug through the plant for the spare key. Finally he found it and opened the door. He smelt something burning as he ran to the kitchen. He pulled out a burnt baked ziti. He knew that she would never let something burn this bad at least.

Then he went and looked at the dinner table she had set up. The candles were almost gone from burning so long. The table cloth was wrinkled and messed up. There had defiantly been a struggle between Lulu and someone else. He then saw a plate broken plate on the ground and then he knew it was bad.

"Jason, Lulu's been taken." Dominic paused to hear Jason cursing in the background. "Look there's a sign of a struggle, a broken plate and all. What do you want me to do?"

"Clean it up, then come to my place. We're going to find Franco. He's taken Carly, Sam, and Claudia; who's pregnant."

No it was time for Dominic to swear. That's why he was undercover. A poor innocent baby was paying for the mistakes of his or her parents.

"Okay, I'll be there in a few."

He was going to find all of them, with or without Jason.

Jason's Apartment:

There was a vase that Sam had put out; he threw it. He picked up four of the pieces. Those were the pieces he was being torn into. His stone cold attitude was being shattered and he felt as if he would cry. Five people were at stake, all of which he had loyalty to. If Franco made him chose, what would he do?

He had to save them all, he couldn't fail. Not now.

Undisclosed Location:

Carly kicked Sam's foot, so she didn't wake up Claudia and Lulu. Sam moaned a little before glaring at Carly. Carly just smiled in successfully waking her up

"Look, that baby is my sons' brother or sister, I won't let anything happen to it. Lulu will do all she can, but we both know that won't be much. Promise me that we'll work as a team to protect Claudia."

"That baby would've been Lila's brother or sister, that's important to me. So of course I will work with you to protect her."


What did you guys think? Liked it or hated it, I want to know. As you can see, the women are all coming together to protect the baby. Maybe friendships will be formed? Sorry it took so long to update, I was visiting family. I will try to update soon.
