Chapter 10: Finding Dani and Jamie
Dani woke up sitting on the floor. She tried to move her hands, but they were tied behind her back. Dani looked around and saw her reflection from a near-by window, and saw a sock was wrapped around her mouth. Oh Santana… What a surprise! I didn't know you were craving this so badly! I mean this is really kinky, but it's kind of hot! What a dork! Dani smirked to herself. She continued to look around and noticed Jamie in the opposite corner from her, and was Jamie in the same situation. Oh God, Santana! This is so not appropriate! Jane and you need to get a grip 'cause this will not happen! Dani thought to herself Jamie slowly woke up and looked around herself. Once she noticed Dani, she began to freak out. Dani looked to Jamie sternly, trying to calm her without talking. Eventually Dani moved her jaw around enough to have the sock fall out of her mouth. "Jamie, you need to relax! Everything's fine! I'm sure it's just Santana and Jane trying something kinky on us or something weird!" Dani assured her. Jamie's sock then fell from her after panicking enough. "Dani, are you insane?! That is not what this is! Jamie exclaimed.
Michael, Marie, Santana and Jane stood, letting what Santana had just said sink in. "Why would your father kidnap my daughters?" Michael asked sternly. "Because he was arguing with them earlier at my office…" Santana said quietly. "What? Why didn't you tell me?" Jane asked. "Because! I thought Jamie would tell you after she was so freaked out!" Santana exclaimed. "What do you mean she freaked out?" Marie asked. Santana sighed and explained to the group what had happened. "How could you let that man almost murder our daughters? That was inexcusable Santana!" Michael shouted. "Stop yelled at me like a child! I am Dani's wife! The mother of your grandchildren! And so is Jane! So stop blaming everything on us!" Santana replied. Marie sat Michael down to relax, and she went back to the girls. "We will watch over the children, if you go find your father and see if he has Dani and Jamie… I promise Michael is just very protective of our girls." Marie assured them. "Well, he shouldn't be. After all: they're both married women…" Santana snapped while glaring at Michael, she then took Jane into her car. As they got situated in the car Jane looked to Santana with pain in her eyes.
"Santana I can't raise those kids without Jamie…" Jane said quietly. Santana sighed and looked to Jane. "I know, but you won't! We'll find Jamie and Dani and we'll go right back where we're suppose to be!" Santana said positively. "How do I know that I can trust you after what you've done to Jamie? I don't like to think that Santana, but I do because I care about Jamie a lot more than you and Dani think I do." Jane admitted. "You can trust me because I am not who I was back in the day. In high school, I was a mean, cruel bitch who did things to the people I cared most about… And I changed all that because I fell in love with Dani… She changed me for the better… Look, I know who had our differences, but now is the moment when you got to grow a pair and do what you have to do." Santana told her. Jane nodded and stayed quiet. "We'll find them, don't worry. Besides, now we can kind of bond while they're gone! I don't really know much about you, but I would like to…" Santana said with a smile. Jane returned the smile and looked out of the window. Santana turned on the radio as the two headed to Alberto's household. The song I'm a Woman by Bette Midler came on.
Well I can wash out forty four pairs of socks
And have 'em on the line.
You know I can starch and iron two dozen shirts
'fore you can count from one to nine.
I can slip up a great big dip up of lard
From a drippings can.
Throw it in the skillet, do my shopping,
And be back before it melts in the pan.
Santana looked over to Jane and grinned. "C'mon girlfriend, you know you want to sing with me!" Santana laughed. Jane groaned with a smile. "Fine! You win!" 'Cause I'm a woman... Well I can rub and scrub 'Cause I'm a woman... Well now if you come to me sick,
W-O-M-A-N.
Let me tell ya again.
I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
'til this house shines just like a dime.
Feed the baby, grease the car,
Powder my nose at the same time.
You know I can get all dressed up,
Go out swinging with the M-A-N,
Jump in bed at five, sleep 'til 6,
And start all over again.
W-O-M-A-N.
Let me tell ya again.
I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
You know that I'm gonna make you well.
And if you come to me all hexed up,
You know I'm gonna break the spell.
And if you come to me hungry,
You know I'll feed ya full of my grits.
And if it's loving you want,
I can kiss you and give you the shivering fits.
Jane and Santana continued to sing their hearts out and laugh with one another. 'Cause I'm a woman... Well, I got a twenty dollar gold fee 'Cause I'm a woman... I'm a woman.
W-O-M-A-N.
I'll say it again.
I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
That says there's nothing that I can't do.
Well, I can make a dress out of feeding sacks,
And I can make a man out Of you.
W-O-M-A-N.
I'll say it again.
I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
I'm a woman.
I'm a woman.
Yeah, I'm a woman.
Santana eventually pulled up to Alberto's house and sighed. "Well, this is it…" "San, I don't know if I can do this… I'm so scared Jamie's hurt or sick… Or even worse: dead…" Jane said, letting her face pale. Meanwhile, Dani tried to calm her sister down more. "Be quiet, Dumbo! We don't know who took us here! And sorry being 'insane' by trying to think positively!" Dani argued. "Positive? Dani we're tied up and have no idea where the hell we are! There is no positive thing here to think about!" Jamie replied. Suddenly a man's voice started talking. "Hello girls… Having a good time?" The man asked. "Ummm… No? This is not what I'd call a happy situation!" Dani replied sarcastically. Jamie giggled at Dani's comment. "Stop it! You two are in here because you disobeyed your elders!" The man scolded. "Our elders? Who would that be? He's such an idiot!" Jamie grinned. "Watch your mouth, young lady. I meant your parents…" The man said, stopping the conversation. "Dani… I'm scared…" Jamie said, her face getting whiter than the wall behind them. "Everything's fine, Jamie… I'll protect you." Dani said confidently. Santana walked up to the door of the man she beginning to realize she didn't know at all. Jane stayed behind her, scared for her life. Santana knocked on the door, trying to keep her cool. Alberto answered the door with surprise. "Santana? What are you doing here?" Santana and Jane walked in and Santana kept her straight faceon. (Ha! That's punny!)
"I'm here to find out where my wife and sister-in-law are. They're missing, and I'm pretty sure you know where they are." Santana told him. "I'm sorry mija, but I don't know what you're talking about…" Alberto told her. Santana bit her lip, trying to control herself. "Don't lie to me, please. I know you have something to do with this. I'm a scared pregnant woman, and that's not good for your granddaughter's life, so please tell me where they are." Santana asked through her teeth. Jane stood up and walked in front of Santana. "Please sir, Jamie means the world to me… She's the mother of my children…" Jane said quietly. "I'm sorry girls, but I have no idea where they are…" Alberto said. Santana would take this any longer. Santana threw her purse down and pushed Alberto up against his front door and grabbed his shirt and growled at him. "Santana, your hormones are acting up, sweetheart!" Alberto said, frightened. "I have no hormones right now. The only emotion I am conveying is anger and sadness because my wife and sister are gone! Where the hell are they?" Santana yelled.
"Santana please! I don't know where they are! Now put me down!" Alberto demanded. Jane placed her hand on Santana's shoulder to calm her down. "He's telling the truth, let him go." Jane said quietly. Santana sighed stressfully and placed him on the floor. "Good luck seeing me in the future." Santana said leaving the house. Jane sat with Santana in the car for a minute to let her cool down. "Santana, if your father doesn't have Dani and Jamie, then who does?" Jane asked, trying to hold back tears. Santana shook her head, letting a few tears escape her eyes. "I don't know." Jamie wiggled her way closer to Dani, trying to get comfort. "Dani, I'm seriously freaking out. I don't know where we are, who wants us dead and—" "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down! No one wants us dead, Jamie!" Dani exclaimed. "We don't know that for sure!" Jamie replied. Dani sighed. "Although that may be true, we just have to look to the bright side of this situation!" Dani said. "What bright side? Dani We're trapped! We have no food, no water, and Jane and Santana are probably freaking out right as we speak!" Jamie reminded her sister. "I'm sure Santana and Jane are handling this just fine! I'm sure they're just realizing that we're gone and are calling the police to find us!" Dani assured her.
"What if they're not?" Jamie asked. "Well, they'll think of something!" Dani replied. "What about us? What are going to do?" Jamie asked. Before she could reply, the one person they did not expect to see came through sliding door: Sky. "Sky? What are you doing here?" Dani asked. "Forget that, Dani! Get us out of here, Sky!" Jamie exclaimed. Sky chuckled to himself and shook his head. Meanwhile the police were at the house looking for evidence for Jamie and Dani's case. Santana and Jane sat on the couch waiting for an officer to talk to them. Officer Mercury walked up to them and sighed. "Hey girls, I'm sorry this happened to you." He apologized. "It's not your fault. Just please, find our wives…" Santana pleaded. Officer Mercury looked in their eyes and kneelt down to their level. "I promise I will do everything in my power to find them. I know what they look like and there might be some evidence here to help us. Don't stress about it and get some sleep." He told them. Santana nodded wiped her eyes. Ari and DJ saw the commotion downstairs and ran to Santana and Jane. "Mama, why are there so many people here?" Ari asked. "Are we having a party? Whose birthday is it?" DJ asked.
Jane held DJ in her lap and looked at him. "It's not a party, and no one has a birthday, okay? This is very serious, you guys…" Jane told them. Ari looked to Santana and saw the pain in her eyes. "Mama? Where's Mommy?" She asked. "And Aunt Jamie?" DJ added. Santana wiped her face again, when she realized she is on her own. "Well, your Aunt Jamie and Mommy are… Niño's, they're missing… The police are here to find them…" Santana told them. "Why did they go away? Don't they love us anymore?" DJ asked. "They never did, DJ! They left us…" Ari snapped. "No! They love us all very much! Mommy and Aunt Jamie would never leave us, Arianna!" Santana scolded. Officer Mercury overheard Santana and walked over. "Is that the same Arianna I met when Jamie was missing the last time?" He asked. Santana nodded and wiped her face. "Hey sweetheart! I am the man who found your Aunt Jamie when you were really little!" He told her. "Then where are they? Where are my Mommy and Aunt Jamie?" Ari asked. Officer Mercury picked up both kids and walked around the house.
"You have to understand that your mother and aunt are in danger, and we're here to help them get away from that… San—I mean your Mama and your aunt are here to take care of you right now. So you have to be extra good for them, okay?" He told them. "Who would take our Mommy and Aunt Jamie away?" DJ asked. "I don't know buddy… But I promise I'll find out who did it. They will come back here to you guys safe and sound. Right now, you two have to help your mother be strong, because she is so worried and scared." Officer Mercury explained. DJ jumped out of his arms and ran to Santana. "Mama?" DJ called. Santana looked up and smiled when she saw her son's cute face. "Yes hijo?" Santana replied, trying to smile. "I love you…" DJ told her, hugging her baby bump. Santana picked him up and hugged him even tighter. "I love you too…" Santana whispered. Meanwhile, Jamie struggled to untie her hands while Sky was watching them. "Well? Aren't you going to untie us, Sky?" Dani asked. "Why should I?" Sky growled. "Because we're your sisters and we need your help!" Jamie exclaimed. "You should've thought of that when you decided to be little snoops and have Santana reveal herself! I had everything handled just fine, until you guys showed up in my life!" Sky shouted.
"What do you mean we showed up in your life? You showed up with Grandma and Grandpa on our doorstep!" Jamie shouted. "It doesn't matter! They fell for my pity act, and so did you!" Sky replied. "Grandma will make you pay Skylar! She won't let us die!" Dani screamed. "Not likely, Dani. See, poor Grammy, is not around anymore, so no one can save you—Well, except maybe them…" Sky said, as the sliding door opened again. "Well, well, well! Looks like our daughters are here to stay!" A man said, walking through with his wife. "Oh… My… God…" Jamie and Dani said simultaneously. Santana was help Jane put the kids to bed for the night. "I got everything handled from here. Go on to sleep." Santana told her. Jane smiled and went to bed. Santana was about to leave when she felt DJ hug her leg. "Mama don't go!" DJ whined. She picked him up and saw sadness in his eyes. "I'll just be in my room, baby… It's okay!" Santana assured him. "But what if those bad guys get you too?" DJ asked. "They won't, I promise…" Santana told her son. She tucked him back in and smiled at his scared face. "Relax, DJ… No one's going to take me away when such a big, brave boy like you is here to protect me!" Santana smiled. DJ snuggled Santana's arm and looked up at her. "Can you sing that song Mommy sings us before we go to bed? Please Mama?" DJ pleaded. "Yeah! Please?" Ari added. Santana smiled and nodded to them. She began to sing Love Me Tender by Elvis Presley.
Love me tender, Love me tender,
love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
And I always will.
Santana saw DJ asleep and kissed his forehead. She picked up Ari from a chair in his room, and slowly walked into her bedroom to put her to sleep.
Love me tender, Love me tender,
love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong,
And we'll never part.
love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.
Once Santana saw Ari's eyes close, she kissed her forehead and walked herself to bed.
When at last my dreams come true
Darling this I know
Happiness will follow you
Everywhere you go.
Dani knew she had to be relaxed and calm because Jamie wouldn't be. "Jamie, it's okay. I'm here, I won't let those scumbags hurt you and I again." Dani reminded her. "Well, just in case you might have forgotten dear sister, but… WE'RE TIED UP AND HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE WHERE WE ARE! THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO US, AND WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE!" Jamie yelled. "Jamie dear, do lower your voice. We don't want anyone to hear us in here, now do we?" The woman asked. "That's exactly what we want! Sky please don't listen to them! We're the good guys remember? They hurt us!" Dani cried. "I'm sorry, but I can't. They have good reasons for us to be a family! Besides, you don't need Santana or Jane to be happy!" Sky told them. "What about the kids?" Jamie sniffled. Sky turned his back on them. "What about them?" He mumbled. "My kids? Ari and DJ? The two kids that look up to you the most? That love you more than anything because to them, you're the best uncle in the world! If you let them hurt us, you're hurting them as well! You never wanted to hurt them, Sky! They need us!" Dani reminded him.
"Enough!" Sky shouted. Dani moved closer to Jamie in order to protect her. "Do what you want with them. I'm through." Sky mumbled, leaving the room. The two adults moved closer to the girls, but Dani kept making sure she was in front of Jamie at all times. "My, my, Danielle! So protective of over young Jamie, are we?" The man asked. "You're not going to touch her." Dani muttered. "Oh? And why not?" He replied. "Because whatever you want to do, you do it to me, not her. She doesn't deserve it. I'm the one who started all of this, not Jamie! So hate me instead, beat me, do whatever you want to me! Just—Just don't touch or hurt her." Dani said. She looked to Jamie and couldn't stop the multiple tears running down her face. She whispered 'I love you' to Jamie. Jamie nodded in reply to her sister. "Well, I guess we can do that… I mean, all we really wanted is you, Dani… All right, untie Jamie. You'll take her back home, while I'll deal with this one." The man told his wife. "No… No! Dani, don't do this! I'm not leaving you here alone!" Jamie cried. The man picked her up, not caring to watch Jamie cry. "Jamie, it's better this way! I can handle this! I'll be okay! Just be careful! I love you!" Dani yelled. "NO! Dani, no! Please, don't let them take me away!" Jamie cried as she got taken out of the room. Once she left, Dani began to ball herself. "It's too bad, that we're here alone, Ms. Dani… I know how much you love Jamie. It's a shame, but oh well! Your wish was our command." The man grinned.
The woman dropped Jamie off at the police station, knowing what was going to happen. The police immediately called the house to let Jane know. Jane ran into Santana's bedroom and shook her away. "Santana!" Jane said. "W—What? What's going on?" Santana asked, half asleep. "They've got Jamie." Jane said, letting her tears escape. "Go and get her. I'll stay here." Santana told her. Jane speeded through every stop-and-go light until she got to her wife. Once at the police station, Jane finally found her wife and ran towards her. Jamie and Jane hugged for what seemed like hours, and Jane would let go of Jamie for anything. "I was so scared, Jane… You have no idea…" Jamie mumbled into her shoulder. "You have no idea how scared I was for you!" Jane replied. They stood there for a bit longer, enjoying the warmth for each other. "Let's go home… Santana is probably starting to worry." Jane said, leading her wife towards their car. Once home, Santana caught Jamie in a long hug. "Oh my God, hermana! Are you okay?" Santana eventually asked her. "I'm fine, just worried about Dani! Santana, she sacrificed herself for me!" Jamie said, feeling more and more upset. "What do you mean?" Santana asked. Jamie explained more in-depth about what happened that night. "Oh my God! So Dani's still in there? By herself?" Santana then began to panic.
"Santana calm down! Dani's tough, she'll be okay!" Jamie told her. Santana began to hyperventilate and panic more. "Santana! Relax! It's okay!" Jane said, trying to calm her. Santana's leg began to shake and she suddenly screamed out in pain. Jamie caught her before she hit the floor. "Santana? What's wrong? What happened?" Jamie asked. "I'm contracting! I'm—I think I'm going into labor!" Santana shouted.
