Major sorry for the long horrible forever update!
I've had this chapter ready for a few week but the internet in my household was cancelled so I had to wait to get it back to upload this to your beautiful people!
Again MAJOR SORRY!1

Disclaimer: I don't own anything (BOO!)

It's been 6 months since my little Bellamie was born. She had beautiful red hair, cute little baby cheeks and the most breath-taking soft red eyes I had ever seen. She liked aeroplanes and giggles and babbles every time she see's one, she loves mashed up potatoes and carrots but hates anything 'watery'. Her personality was a mash up of both me and Brick and even her aunts and uncles, Bellamie loved loud noises and explosions on tv and was completely unfazed by them. As a baby she was very graceful; instead of having the usual stumbles and wobbles most babies do she seems to crawl with some sense of co-ordination and knowledge of what was happening around her. Finally Bellaime was obsessed with her beloved stuffed animal a light blue dolphin given to her by dear Aunt Bubbles.

It was a Saturday afternoon and Bellamie was rolling and wriggling around on her play mat with her dolphin in her arms babbling softly. I smiled to the soothing sound knowing my baby was happy and content, I was currently in the kitchen preparing a few drinks and snacks. Brick was away on assignment (as much as he didn't want to leave me and Bellamie for the first time since she was born he knew we needed to keep money flowing.) So his brothers and my sister where coming over to have a catch-up and drink, plus the guys mainly wanted to play on Bricks new pool table. I was in my own little dream bubble in the kitchen that I barely registered the front door knock; it was only when I heard Bellamie give a loud happy shriek that I realised, laughing I placed the snacks and drinks on the coffee table and answered the door, pulling it back I saw 4 faces.

"HI!" They chorused

"Hey"

They all made there way through the house taking their seats and making themselves comfortable, all except Bubbles who instead went straight over to Bellamie scooping her up in her arms.

"Hello my little Bella!" She cooed, Bellamie began waving her arms round madly giggling the whole time. Bubbles then gave he a big kiss on the side of her face and sat her on her knee.

"So any news on when Brick will be home Bloss?" Boomer asked

"Well he said 2-3 days so hopefully any time soon"

"Butters wanna play pool?" Butch challenged, Buttercup laughed

"Sure if you wanna get beat again!"

"I'm letting you win woman!" Butch yelled as they both made there way over to the pool table behind the couch. I flicked on the TV and had some boring reality show playing absentmindly in the background as the rest of us chatted.

A few hours later the group had rotated so I was now holding Bellamie, Bubbles was playing Butch at pool (after losing twice to a smug Buttercup) and Boomer and Buttercup where chatting about what was better baseball or football.

"I'm telling you football is what it's all about!" Boomer argued

"Please! What a woman's sport, get your ass in a basketball game!" Buttercup countered

Suddenly the sound of a key scratching at the door alerted the group, and with a quick twist of the door knob and the door flew open.

"Hey miss me?"

I beamed when I heard the sound of my husband coming home, I jumped up desperately and eloped him in a big one armed hug with Bella squeezed between us. After a quick kiss for me Brick took Bella from my arms and gave her a huge kiss.

"Hey girls" He smiled

"HA HA!"

We turned to see Bubbles had taken her shot when everyone's back was turned and won the game.

"WHAT THE-!" Butch yelled his eyes wide, Bubbles giggled very childlike which only seemed to aggravate Butch further.

"Boomer! Play me now I have to beat someone!"

"Pssh please!" Boomer said turn back and flicking through the TV.

"So have I missed much?" Brick asked walking over and sitting on the couch, I wandered into the kitchen to fix him up a drink.

"Not really, how was the assignment?" I asked, Brick shrugged his shoulders laughing with Bella.

"Same old, same old..." He replied uninterested "Simple drugs bust, no problem"

I smiled grabbing a beer for Brick from the fridge, suddenly I got the strongest feeling something wasn't right, my intuition was buzzing. I stood up straight I looked out of our kitchen window so see a clear day, but my adrenalin was bursting I scanned my house and everything seemed as good as it was 5 seconds ago. I hadn't had this feeling since.. since.. I had my powers. Shutting the fridge door I walked back into the main room passing Brick his beer, without looking at him instead a confused expression was spread across my face.

"Bloss you okay?" Bubbles asked

"Yeah... but-" But before I could finish, something flew through our living room window smashing it in the process. Brick covered Bella who squealed at the sudden noise while everyone else flinched. However I seemed to expect it, coming to my sense first I walked over to the object to see it had been a brick with a pink note tied to it. Pulling it off I read the scruffy scrawl out loud.

The perfect family.

I haven't forgot what you've done to me. You both have completely destroyed me and for that there is a price to pay. A heavy price to pay.

Blossom and Brick MUST come to the Townsville scrap yard ALONE so I can have a chat with you and decide your fate. If you choose however to disobey this 'invitation'... well lets just say your precious family will be ripped apart.

Tell Bellaime I'll see her soon.

M.

My voice cracked on the last sentence, everyone was silent except Bella who was cooing softly. Brick was frozen his eyes never leaving mine. My mind was racing. No no no! This wasn't supposed to happen! Where's my happy ending? Why me? WHY US? No one will harm my baby. Who's M? Why does he need to see me and Brick alone? What do they mean a 'heavy price to pay'? So many questions raced through my mind it was only until Bella let out a high wail me instincts shot up. I raced to her a scooped her out of Bricks arms and held her to my chest tightly looking round for someone, anyone, anything! Out of the ordinary. Then the group went into offensive mode.

"We need a plan" Brick said

"We need to figure out who 'M' is" Butch said

"We have to make sure no one goes anywhere alone. Where not safe" Buttercup said

"There's got to be some way out of this" Boomer speculated

"We need to do something now!" Bubbles added

Everyone's voices layered over each other in one mass blur, I tried to control my heavy breathing and addressed the group.

"Everyone listen!" They all looked at me.

"Me and Brick will go to the scrap yard ALONE" I emphasised the last part and I was quickly interrupted.

"No way!"

"You can't!"

"You'll be defenceless!"

"LISTEN! If everyone goes who the hell will look after Bellamie!" Bella babbled in response, seemingly unfazed by the shouts and hurried tones of her family. They all shut up when I said that.

"The more to protect Bella the better, if us both going alone is what it takes to protect our family I'll sure as hell do it. Me and Brick can take care of our selves I mean we where god damn fricken' secret agents!"

Everyone looked at me there expressions soften but I could tell they still weren't happy with us going alone. I turned to look a t Brick, who in my speech I had un-doubtly put him on my side, without any regard to what he thought was best or if he completely rejected my idea altogether.

"Brick?"

He looked at me dejectedly, before letting out a sigh and a tiny smirk.

"Took the words right out of my mouth"

I smiled and looked down at Bella who smiled brightly at me.

I will keep her safe. Even if my life depends on it.

Ta darr!
Ooooooo it's all started to thicken!
