Remember Me

Chapter 11

EMPOV

I arrived at the hospital and the police escorted me to a waiting area to get more details from me.

I told them all about Irina and signing her rights away, they put out on Amber Alert, especially since I had proof from the note.

I called to check on Bella and Rose said Edward was in there with her now, she was still out, and he'd given he a very strong sedative.

The doctor walked out and I told Rose I'd call back later. "Mr. McCarty?" he asked. "Yes, sir, I'm Alice's brother. Is she going to be O.K.?" I asked. "She'll be fine, she's going to have one hell of a headache and a nice bump on her head." the doctor reassured me.

I walked into Alice's room and she was lying there, crying.

"That bitch took your baby Emmett, I am so sorry. Everything was going fine, we were playing on the beach, Izzy got tired so we came in to nap, Izzy insisted on the living room floor and cartoons, so I made her a little bed and the next thing, Izzy is screaming and I turn around to see Irina and her sister. I fought with Irina while her sister grabbed Izzy, she placed something over Izzy's mouth and she went limp and quiet. The next thing I know, I wake up here. Where's Bella and Jasper ?" she finished.

"Bella is at home resting, she had to be sedated by Edward and he and Rose are taking care of her right now. She's pretty messed up and blames me." I lowered my head and I heard Alice gasp. "What? Why?" she questioned. "I had just told her everything was going to be fine, we were going to have her stay with mom and dad for a while, because they have the entire grounds under security, you know?" I stopped and pulled out my phone, my breath hitching with my newest picture, my girls together on our wedding day, I popped it open and called Edward, I needed to know she was O.K.

Edward answered and said Bella had woken up once, but was so hysterical that he gave her another shot, but said if it continued, he'd admit her to the hospital to keep her on an even flow of medicines through I.V.'s.

I agreed with Edward, no matter how pissed she was at me, I wasn't losing her too. Edward told me he'd call back in a few hours with his assessment. I sat in the room holding Alice's hand and watching her sleep.

I was just dozing off when my phone rang. "Emmett, we're bringing Bella in, she was having a horrible nightmare and basically started convulsing, I'm not sure what's going on dude, but Rose is in the backseat with her, we'll be in the ER in about 10 minutes, let them know you're with Dr. Cullen and they'll let you back, I already told them you'd be there. After we get her stabilized, she'll be in the room with Alice." Edward hung up and I kissed Alice's hand. I let her attending nurse know where I'd be and to contact me or Edward if Alice woke up.

I got to the ER as Edward was carrying her in.

He walked into a semi-private room and placed her on the bed. He was worried, it was in his eyes.

I ran over to Bella, held her hand and cried. I kissed her face, forehead, eyes and finally lips, then there was a slight smile. She sighed in her sleep and that made us all relax a little.

Edwards phone was ringing now, he excused himself and stepped outside, he was gone for about 20 minutes. "Emmett, can I speak with you in private?" he looked at Rose and she nodded in understanding.

"What's up Edward?" I asked seriously. "Emmett, they found put where Izzy is." she gave a half smirk.

"What?" I boomed and smiled, but one look at Edward's face and my smile faded. "Emmett, they took her to Alaska." his face dropped. I looked at him in confusion for a moment, he thought that was bad, I knew it as good. "Get me the police, I can give them some good information on her family in Alaska." I smiled.

The police arrived and I gave them everything I had and they seemed very confidant in dealing with her and her family. I told Edward that as soon as we knew Bella was fine, I was hoping on a plane for Alaska. Edward wasn't happy with the idea and said it might make Bella even worse off. I told him to make sure he let her know I was going to get our baby girl back and that she should concentrate on getting better, so Izzy can come home to her mommy. Edward smiled and said he would and she'd be in good hands.

Once the MRI and CatScan's were done and came back fine, I kissed Bella's forehead, telling her I loved her and kissed her ring finger, telling her I'd be back with our baby girl soon, I left for Alice's room and surprise, she was awake and Jasper by her side.

I told her of my plans and she just asked me to be careful.

I told Jasper to look out for her and Bella and informed Alice that her and Bella would be staying with our parents for a while. Jasper objected, thinking that Bella's parent's house would be just as good, since her dad was a doctor as well and they had excellent security too. I gave in and said yes and even agreed she'd be more comfortable in her old room. With that, I left and made arrangements on my way home to pack my bags. I called Marcus and informed him of everything and said all would be taken care of for Bella and I and to bring our daughter home safely.

I finally arrived in Alaska and an Sherriff's Deputy was waiting for me, filling me in on the different places they had staked out.

I rode along with this on my first night there, his name was Jack and he was about 40, very nice man, we settled into an easy conversation, while watching the current apartment building. We sat there for well over 5 hours, before anyone emerged. It was Tonya and she had an overnight bag in her hand. He called for the other car down the street to come take our spot, when we left. We followed Tonya until she came to the entrance of he parents cabin in the woods, it had a short drive way, but we could risk following her again.

So we parked down the road and told the others our position. Jack had teams move into the woods, to see what was going on in the cabin, I waited nervously in the car. All of a sudden, my phone started to vibrate, I pull it out and it's an unknown caller. "Hello?" I answer timidly. "Ahhh, Emmett so glad to hear your wonderful voice." I cringed immediately. "Irina. What do you want?" I started angrily. "No, no my dear Emmett, it's not what I want, it's what you want and I know you want your little snot nosed brat back!" Irina screeched. "You will not talk about my daughter like that!" I yelled into the phone. "I will talk however the hell I want to about our daughter! You stupid son of a bitch!" she yelled into the phone.

"You gave up all rights to her, just give her back, I'll give you the money!" I was pleading with her. "Let me talk to her!" I demanded. "Sorry, she's sleeping at the moment, we had to make her, she wouldn't stop screaming." she laughed. "If you've hurt her, I will track you down and kill you myself, Irina!" I yelled into the phone. "Don't be stupid Emmett, I know you would. We gave her Benadryl, it'll keep her out for a few hours, hopefully she'll be back to you by then and we can all forget about this!" she laughed. "Fine, when? Where? And how much? Irina." I demanded.

"First off, you need to come to me… we'll me on my turf, secondly, I want five million dollars and don't scoff at me, I know you've got plenty more than that, that's about a month or two worth of interest for you and you've got two days to get it and come to Alaska, I'll call you with more later." And with that she hung up. Jack asked if he heard anyone inside the cabin talking a few minutes ago, to his team, one of them finally clicked on, assuming they had to retreat away from the house, so their voice wouldn't be heard.

"Yes, sir. Someone was inside making demands. Should we move now?" the voice asked. "No, we need to have proof the little girl is inside, take your places, remain on silent until you hear from me further." Jack instructed.

With that, he drove me back to the police station to make arrangements for the money. He knew the president of the bank, so we were talking to him and he said he could get us the money by tomorrow night, no problems. I was relieved that I had some answers for when Irina called back.

I excused myself from the gentlemen, telling them I needed to check on my wife.

Edward's phone rang 3 times and went to voice mail, I wasn't to happy about that fact.

I called the hospital directly and had them page Edward. After about 3 minutes, he picked up the phone. "Dr. Cullen speaking, how can I help you?" he asked. "Ah, Edward, how is Bella and Alice?" I asked.

"Well, Alice is fine, she's actually going to be released in the morning, if she can hold down food, as for Bella, well she awoke and asked for you, when I told her where you went, she started crying and then sobbing, saying that she's losing both of you now, she's very clearly upset. She isn't handling this well. I've never seen my sister like this Emmett. She's always strong and confident and the one holding everything together. Mom and dad are on their way here, to try and help with her, she's always calmer with mom around." he sighed. I started to tell him about Izzy, when I heard a blood curling scream come through the phone and then crying. Edward dropped the phone, but I stayed on the line, listening to him trying to call his sister, my wife, my everything. After about 10 minutes, he picked up the phone again "Shit. Em?" he asked. "Still here." I said through my own tears. " Can I talk to her, is she enough of herself?" I asked cautiously. "Yeah, hold on." he said. I heard him talking to her and calming her, finally I heard "Emmett" come through the phone in just barely a whisper. "Baby, I'm here. I'm so sorry, I found where Izzy is, we're going to get her back soon, I promise, we'll be home and be happy again." I tried to smile, so she would hear my positive tone. "Really? Where is she?" she asked, a little stronger. "She's here in Alaska, Irina called with her demands and I've got the money ready to hand over for our baby girl, that's all she fucking wants is money!" I cried into the phone. "Emmett, it's O.K." I heard Bella's voice, stronger now through the phone. "We'll be fine, I'm going back to my parents house and when we get Izzy back, we can stay with them until we get a new house built on the beach, completely private with a state of the art security system, understand?" she demanded of me. I laughed and told her whatever she wanted I would do and she knew it to, anything in the world for my wife and child and one day children. "Bella, you are amazing. I can't believe how you bounced back baby." I smiled and laughed. "It's because of you Emmett. I have to be strong for you and Izzy and get my self healed so we can start on more little Emmett's." she giggled.

"Bella?" I whispered. "Yes, Emmett." she sighed. " I love you." I smiled. "Emmett?" she asked. "Yes, Bella." I repeated her words. "I love you too." she smiled. "Bells, you get some rest and I'll see you in a few days with our daughter. Oh and if you feel like it, start looking at house plans, we'll get started as soon as possible." I said. "O.K. I will. I'm going to listen to what Edward tells me and I'm going to my parents as soon as he releases me and I think Alice is going with me, so we can discuss our house plans too." she giggled and I could tell she was feeling better.

"Love you Bella." I smiled into the phone and she repeated the same to me and told me that Edward wanted to talk to me. "Emmett, wow, what did you say to her?" he asked. "I told her we'd found Irina and we'd be home in a couple of days." I said proudly. I heard a sigh and asked what that was for. "Emmett, you can't tell her things like that, she's going to expect you to really be home." He had obviously walked out of the room and was talking to me without Bella around. "Edward, I'm not just saying it, we did find Irina and are taking the proper steps to get Izzy back. It should really only take a couple of days. Seriously, I wouldn't lie to Bella about that." I sighed. ""Oh, O.K., well good then. I can't wait for you to come back. Take it easy man and I'll keep you updated on Bella's progress." He finished with a Love You, Man.

I walked back to the room and Jack was ready to leave for the night, they said everything was set and the money would have invisible tracers on it and they would never know. I was relieved that they wouldn't be getting away with this.

Jack took me back to the station and put me up in one of the little off duty rooms they had set up for round the clock shifts. He told me I could get a hotel room, but I wanted to be close to where they were, incase something happened. About 5a.m., my phone rang, it startled me and it was unknown again. I answered immediately. "Hello?" I said sitting up. "Ahhh, again, your voice is so sexy Emmett." It was Irina. "What do you want?" I asked. "Money. Do you have it?" she asked. "Yes, it'll be ready by 2p.m. this afternoon." I sighed. "Good, I'll call you later with the drop details." she laughed. "I want to talk to my daughter right now, no money if I can't talk to her." I demanded with great force. "Fine, she's been awake asking for you and Bella." she said her name with disgust. "Put her on!" I growled. "Daddy?" she had been crying, I started to cry as well. "Izzy! Are you O.K.?" I asked. "Yeah, Aunt Irina said we were going to go shopping and buy presents, but she game me yucky medicine and I went to sleep and now I feel like I'm going to throw up and I want you and mommy, I'm scared." and she was gone, the phone went dead. I called Jack into the room and told him. He called his men by the house and confirmed that they'd seen a smaller shadow and heard a small voice crying a few seconds ago, then crying and silence. Jack was pissed and said that the men were going to move in, at first light. He told me to get ready, it was going to go down in an hour and I'd have my little girl back and wouldn't have to lose my money either. I told him that was the least of my worries and I'd already made up my mind to donate half of that to his police force, they were in need of a few new items and had been very helpful to me and my family, I'd surprise him tomorrow.

I put my shoes on and hoped in the car with Jack.

We drove quickly to our spot and he told me no matter what I heard, I was to remain in the car and they'd bring my daughter to me. I agreed and was in a fit of nervous energy. He handed me a blanket to wrap my daughter in and I was all smiles, I took my phone out quickly and text Edward, telling him we were getting Izzy back in a few, but NOT to tell Bella, I wanted that surprise for myself. He text back a gotcha and I put my phone down, to wait for my daughter.

Jack got out of the car and disappeared into the woods, his radio was on in the car so I could hear everything he was saying and his deputies were saying as well. About 45 minutes later I hear a 'GO!' and there was screaming and shouting and crying, Izzy, she was crying and Jack gave her out 'secret' code word, so she knew he was a friend and to go with him, I was crying so hard, I didn't know if I could stay seated, but I did, I listened to Jack and waited. He came out and had my baby in his arms and opened the car door and handed her to me and I cried and she cried and told me how mean 'aunt' Irina and Tonya were to her. She was crying and wanted mommy, that's all she kept crying for was Bella. I picked up my phone and dialed Edward's number and asked if Bella was close, he said she was sleeping and I told him he needed to wake her up, I had Izzy and she wanted to talk to Bella, he was so excited, he squealed like a little girl.

We waited for a second and then I heard a groggy 'hello' into the phone. I then handed the phone to Izzy and she said "Mommy, is that you?" I had the phone on speaker and I could hear Bella crying into the phone. "Yes, baby, it's mommy, I'm so glad you're O.K." Bella's voice was jubilant.

They both cried into the phone for a while and I told Bella we'd be home tomorrow night and to let my parents know we'd be having a big dinner and Bella insisted on having it at her parents home. Her and Alice would take care of all the planning and our father's would pick us up at the airport. I told her I'd call her with the final details later.

Jack and his troops came out of the woods with Irina and Tonya in cuffs and said they had a slew of charges, besides kidnapping, there was child abuse, for using chloroform and other drugs to keep a child under control and for lack of food, they'd only given her a piece of bread and some water for the 3, almost 4 days she'd been gone. She was even in her same clothes as when she'd disappeared and soiled, they hadn't let her use the restroom or they scared her so bad she's peed herself out of fear.

Jack drove us to a nice hotel and got us a room and said he had phone numbers of some children's stores who'd deliver clothing to the hotel for us. I thanked him and he assured me it was part of his job. I told him we'd be by on the way to the airport tomorrow. He insisted on coming to pick us up and take us personally himself. I agreed, only if we could buy him lunch before we left. He agreed and said he'd be there around 10:30a.m. to get us.

I got Izzy into a nice bubble bath, she was excited, I left her put the bubbles in herself and she had a blast. I called the children's store and they told me what types of clothes they had, I told her I'd need panties and a nightgown and then for the trip home tomorrow I needed a pair of their cutest jeans and most girlish shirt in pink or purple they had. And then for our welcome back party, I'd need a dress, I needed their most beautiful one they had, the frilliest and shoes, I'd need sneakers for the jeans and dress shoes for the dress along with tights and I told her money wasn't an option, if she needed to go outside her store for anything, to let me know and I'd call up the store with my information and she'd be greatly compensated. After talking to the lady, I come to find out it was Jack's sister and he'd told her the gist of what was going on and she said to give her at least 45 minutes. I thanked her for her time and planned on getting her and Jack's information to make sure they were compensated for all of their time.

I went into check on Izzy and she was having a blast with the bubbles. I asked if she was ready for me to wash her hair so we could order room service and watch T.V. She asked if I could order room service first and then wash her hair. I agreed and went to order. She insisted on pizza, so we had pizza and I ordered cheesecake for dessert, milk for her and a beer for me. I ran into wash her hair and she wanted to help tonight, saying she was a big girl now and could do it herself. I smiled and let her help.

We finished and I wrapped her in the huge towel, like a mummy, until her clothes got there. I brushed her hair and sat her on the couch and just hugged her until room service came.

We ate our pizza and cheesecake and when we were finished there was a knock on the door, Izzy stiffened in my arms and started clinging for dear life. I told her it was O.K., it was friend, bringing clothes for her.

I held Izzy tight to me and let the woman in. "Hi, I'm Grace, Jack's sister. Nice to meet you Mr. McCarty." I shook her hand and led her to the couch, Izzy looking at her with wide eyes. She took out the pack of panties and the night gown, Izzy jumped up and down and hugged her around her neck, it was her favorite, Hannah Montana. She squealed and ran into the bathroom to change. She came out and thanked Grace.

She pulled out the clothes for the flight tomorrow and it was the cutest pair of jeans, they had hearts all over the back pocket and they came and wrapped all the way down the leg. The shirt for it matched and the hearts wrapped all the way around her torso with a big heart over her own heart. Izzy loved it and she pulled out the matching heart socks and the cutest pair of pink Converse, Bella will love those. "These are just like mommies!" she squealed. "Yes, they are. She'll be so excited you guys have matching shoes!" and Izzy shook her head, "No daddy, mommy isn't into shopping, but Aunt Alice, now she'll love the idea!" she stated with her hand on her hip. Grace and I laughed. The Grace pulled out the dress, it was perfect! Izzy jumped up and down and squealed that it looked like an Aunt Alice dress and sure enough, we looked at the tag and it said 'Little Pixie', Alice's clothing line. She was jumping up and down, she was so excited, she couldn't wait to have Aunt Alice see this on her, even though she had most everything Alice made, she didn't have this dress. Izzy wasn't into the frilly things.

Grace said her own daughter liked this line too, but the clothes were a little pricy. I'd have to talk to Alice about that.

I thanked Grace and paid her for the items she'd bought, I also tried to give her a little extra and she wouldn't have it. "I'd want someone to do the same for me if something happened and bring a single parent, it's an even closer feeling." she smiled. I told her I understood as I was a single parent up until a few days ago. She said goodbye and left. I made a mental note to get her information, she was more than helpful and I wanted to get her something extra special.

Izzy was curled up in the bed, asleep and hugging the pillow. I put my pajama bottoms on and called to see how everyone was. They all were doing great and Alice told me Bella was finally sleeping, after Edward slipped her some sleeping medicine in her juice, because now she was too keyed up. I called my dad afterwards and told him my plans to help the friendly people here and he agreed. I told him I wanted to give the police department $2.5 million dollars and give Jack and his sister each $100,000. I'd give more, but I know they wouldn't take it, besides, I talked to Alice and she was sending Grace's daughter a voucher for her entire winter line of 'Little Pixie' as well as a voucher for the next 3 lines and hopefully she'd be able to bring the prices down soon.

I climbed into bed next to my baby and snuggled into her.

I awoke to her jumping on the bed. I grabbed her and kissed her face as she squealed. I got her dressed and put on cartoons while I took a quick shower. I dressed and we packed my bag with her things as well, we walked to the bank, which was a couple blocks away and thanked the manager for his help. I also told him I needed to have a deposit into Jack and Grace's accounts for $100,000 for all their help. I also told him I needed a check for the 2.5 so I could give it to Jack before I got on the plane. He smiled and wished me luck and complemented me on my beautiful daughter.

We went back to the hotel and got my bag and waited for Jack in the lobby.

He arrived and we left for lunch, before the airport.

We had a nice lunch and I couldn't wait any longer, I gave him the check in the restaurant and he was crying, it was crazy, he was so thankful. I told him it was the least I could do, for what he did for my family.

We exchanged business cards and I told him to give me a call if he was ever in California and he said the same.

We boarded our plane and headed home.
