Chapter 4 new new new
"Teddy! Mom!" We're the voices Teddy heard before her world went black. Spencer picked Teddy up , bridal style, and put her on the couch.
"Grace go grab some pillows." Spencer said as calmly as possible. Grace came rushing back and Spencer propped her head on the pillows.
"Daddy why mommy go night-night?" Young, Isabella asked.
"She just had to take a little nap. She will be up soon." Spencer said smiling and kissing his daughter before she ran away. The older kids, however, hovered over Teddy until she would wake up. A few minutes later Teddy's eyes fluttered open.
"Mom!" Bridgit whispered, as she saw her mother slowly wake up. Teddy laid on the pillows for a couple more minutes until she remembered the reason why she had fainted.
"Jake!" Teddy yelled, jolting awake. "Owe." She murmured, slowly laying back down.
"Take it easy Teddy. I'll fill you in on all that's happened after you feel a little better." Spencer reasoned.
"No, I want to know where my son is. I miss my baby." Teddy said looking at Spencer with big eyes.
"Well let's read the note then." He said taking out the wrinkled piece of paper.
"Dear Mom, Dad, and the others,
I'm really sorry that you are reading this now. I'm writing this as a young, stupid 14 year old who is fed up with his life. I may be 15, 16, or 17 right now but I'm writing this in case I am to leave un expectantly one night. I'm so sorry. Just know that I love you all, more then anything but I just have to leave right now to think. Please don't hate me. I may have said things that hurt some of you but I never meant them. I love you and you WILL see me soon again.
Love, Jake"
After reading Jacob's letter, there was not a dry eye in the room. Even the two toddlers knew something was wrong and cried just because. As Teddy was quieting the twins, Spencer grabbed his keys and ran out of the door with Shane following him.
"Mom?" Grace said with a tear running down her cheek as she tried to hold back a sob. Teddy embraced her oldest letting the tears run free from her eyes, as the two girls cried on each other's shoulders. Bridgit soon joined in with the chorus of sobs that rang through them home.
After a couple minutes of comforting each other, Teddy ran up to her room and grabbed her phone.
"Pick up. Pick up. Pick up!" Teddy whisper-yelled into her phone as It rang.
"Hi Teddy!" Amy Duncan's cheerful voice said ringing through the phone.
"Mom." Teddy said letting out her sob once again. Amy listen to the muttered words in between each sob but couldn't make out the whole story. "So then he-he." Teddy said being cut off by another heart breaking sob.
"Teddy, he what?" Amy said trying to stay calm.
"He ran away mom, we can't find him. I keep getting texts from Spencer saying that he is still looking but I'm worried mom."
"Teddy, honey relax. Maybe he just needed some space. He said that in the note." Amy reasoned.
"But mom, this is my baby. I have an egg missing from my nest." Teddy said sobbing again.
"Teddy shhh." Amy said wishing she was there to rub her daughters back and brush her golden, blond hair. "It's going to be okay. I would only start worrying if he's gone for longer then a week. Then I would get the authorities involved."
"Okay mom. Thanks. I love you." Teddy said feeling a bit better.
"Love you too. Bye honey."
Teddy hung up and walked back downstairs. She saw their family picture and smiled at all the happy faces in the picture that was taken after Isabella and Zaiden were born. Was Jake even happy then or was his smile fake?
"Oh Jake how I miss you."
Sorry for the short chapter guys! It was kind of a filler because I had to let you know what was going. Hope you liked it and keep reviewing!
