I started to push myself towards where I was hearing his voice coming from. As I finally got to where I saw a guy trying to kidnap him. I started towards them, breaking into a run, ready to take this bastard down. Just before I reached them, I saw someone jump out of the crowd of reporters and tackle the man. As they brought the man down, I noticed that it was a male and a very buff male wearing an argos jersey, I guess that was who was in the middle of the circle that the reporters had made. Unfortunately, his back was towards me and I couldn't see his face.

The man in the jersey started to fight the guy, forcing him release Brett. "Mommy!" Brett yelled as he ran towards me, when he got close enough to me, I grabbed him in a strong hug with my tightest grip possible grip. When I looked up to see what was happening to the attempted kidnapper, he was knocked out on the floor with bruises that looked like they were starting to swell and turn blue and black.

"Is he okay" I suddenly heard someone ask to my left, I could see on the corner of my eyes that it was the mysterious hero. "Yea, I believe that he is" I replied as I looked over Brett for any marks or injuries from the kidnapper and not seeing any on him, I brought him back in for another tight hug. I looked up to see who our mysterious hero was, I saw that he was very muscarlier and could tell that he worked out pretty often, he looked like he could crush somebody but his body language did not show that he intended to do any harm to us. Just before I could see his face, a police had the kidnapper handcuffed. His partner followed behind him, once the police had the attempted kidnapper in handcuffs, his partner started towards us.

The officer coming towards us was shorter than average height with a slim build and a professional but caring look on her face as she headed to us. "Hello ma'am, sir. I'm Officer Shaw. I'm gonna need a statement from both of you and also one from your son please?" Officer Shaw said to us. "I think that we can do that but not sure if Brett will be able to give his statement right, think he maybe a little shaken up after this incident. Do you think that he could give later when he is more calm and relaxed?" Said our mysterious hero. I quickly snapped my head up to him in shock but our eyes don't meet because he is looking at the Officer Shaw. I was surprised that he was sounding so worried and caring about my son and he had only just met him. "Yes, that is no problem as soon as he can, the better, just let me know when. So can I get your statement first sir?" asked Officer Shaw.

"Yes, I can start now" Our mysterious hero said. Officer Shaw lead him to a nearby conference so they could talk in private as the reporter's were getting very determined to find out what was going on. Another officer leads me and Brett to the same room and as I walk into the room I can see the back of our mysterious hero. I can see the number on his jersey and it's the number 9 and I gasp. As I gasp, he snapped his head towards me and our eyes meet for the first time and the feelings just hit me. My soulmate. My soulmate was Emmett McCarty of the Toronto Argos.

I remember when I asked my father what it felt like meet mom for the first time. He had said how it felt like the best and scariest moment of his life, saying how it scared him , thinking how he didn't know if my mom would like him or even want a life with him, even if they were soulmates. The moment had been scarey because it wasn't always guaranteed the they would work out or even want to accept their soulmate if they already had a partner they loved or were very fond of already. It was one of the reason why people sometimes tried to find someone they could love if their soulmate didn't work out, they knew that it wouldn't be as amazing or happy as a life with their soulmate would be but some decided they were okay with the life they already had for themselves and those that did meet and want their soulmate, weren't always young when they were and able to have kids, so some -like me- try to see what is out there, in their first years of adulthood just to figure out what exactly they wanted, some like in my case don't work out and then others do. For my parents, it did, my dad had told me that it had also made him happy and completely overjoyed when she had accepted him and told how she had been waiting and hoping to find him.

When he had tried to explain his feelings to me, I couldn't understand how he could feel all that just looking at my mom, I could see the love when they would look at each other but I could never understand the description of it but now I did. I understood what he meant about being scared and overjoyed. About worrying if you would be accepted, as I worried about what he would say I felt Brett moving, causing me to break our eye contact. Hs eyes fell to look at Brett as did mine and the thought of how if he wanted to accept me than he would have to accept brett, my son too and the tears started to fall down my face because I knew what was gonna happen.

I turned my body to the side and lead Brett to a table on the other side of the room, letting him sit down and bent down to be eye-level with him. As I bent down, Officer Shaw started towards us and took a seat in front of Brett and gave him a smile when he looked at her. "Brett, this is Officer Shaw. She is a police officer like grandpa and she is just going to ask you some questions and i'm gonna be right against the wall there" I said pointing to the wall behind him to his left where Emmett had moved to , "That way we can both see each other if we need to, okay , sweetie?" I say to him. He shakes his head and gives me a breath stealing hug before letting go and facing towards Officer Shaw.

I stand while she introduces herself again to him "Hi Brett, I'm Officer Shaw like your mom said but you can call me Debbie" she says with a smile. I stand up and head towards where he is, I already have an idea how this story is gonna go, he is most likely thinking about how a kid was definitely not in his deck of cards right now and how he is going to tell that there won't be an us in this picture.

I stop in front of him, scared to look at him in the eyes and see the look in his eyes. " I guess you don't want to even see where this could go and that is okay, don't worry about and I understand. I will give my statement to Officer Shaw and my son and I will get out of your hair. Don't worry we won't tell anybody about what happened today" I explain to him, knowing i'm finished I say "Bye McCarty" and turn around heading back towards where Brett is still sitting with Officer Shaw.

I start to walk back to them but before I can get very far , I feel his hand grab my wrist and spin me back around and pull me into his arms for the tightest hug possible.

"Don't leave me. Please." He said to me.
