Tia POV

A few days later and things were going well. Well...at least they were until one evening when I was watching Rocket sleep after he had finally shut up about me expecting and gotten some well earned rest since the sessions of how to handle the paralysis were starting to take its toll.

Ever since I had told Rocket about me expecting, that was all the two of us could really talk about but especially Rocket. Every chance he got a chance to he would talk about the baby. He was so happy and I was ecstatic to see the happiness fill his face. I was also excited, words couldn't describe how happy I was but for now, I was focusing on Rocket whom I was happy about with his progress. I had my priorities in perspective and the baby was right up there of course but Rocket was my main focus until he seemed more himself. The baby wasn't going to be here for another 9 months, Rocket was here now. But still, I was having a baby!

As Rocket lay there sleeping peacefully, a nasty thought crossed my mind as I replayed some unwanted memories. One in particular silently refused to leave my mind. I began to think back when I suddenly remembered my 30 second sex game with that stranger in the toilets and tried to reconcile it with the length of time of my pregnancy. Sadly, the results were not what I was hoping for. I got pregnant around that time but had slept with Rocket multiple times since then including that night just a few hours later. More than likely, it was Rocket's baby but I still couldn't rule out the possibility of it also being that stranger's. I had to know for sure. With that in mind, I gently kissed my sleeping husband's cheek and went off to talk with Dame Simbai…

'Is there any way at all I can find out before it's too late? I'd rather know now than to have the baby and have to break the news to Rocket then. It'll be just as hard and I'll probably lose him. If I know now, then maybe I can stop him from leaving me. But I have to know. Is there any way I can find out?' I practically begged. It had to be Rocket's baby, at least that's what I was hoping for.

'Nothing that I can think of on the spot Tia but I will look into it and find out when I can. I'll let you know when I figure something out, promise but just keep quiet from Rocket for now,' Simbai asked of me and I nodded hoping that the problem could be resolved soon before it got too late.

'Thanks Simbai,' I said and she smiled at me reassuringly as I left to collect my thoughts.

Walking down the hallway back to Rocket's room, my mind was elsewhere. It had to be Rocket's baby, we had tried so long and hard to have one, it couldn't be not his in the end, it just couldn't…

Forcing myself to calm down before I reached Rocket's room, I took deep breaths and focused on holding him in my arms. But as I passed the elevator just down the hall from his room, I suddenly something or someone grab my upper arm and pull me into the elevator. Before I could let out a scream, someone covered my mouth and closed the elevator door. Well, tried at least. He was put off when I lifted my feet and prevented the door from closing as I fought against the person's grip. I pressed my foot a against the elevator wall for whatever reason and did what I could to loosen the grip. I somehow set my elbow free and elbowed the person somewhere that made him let me go but I hadn't thought my plan through and fell in a crash to the floor having forgotten that my legs were in the air. As I hit the elevator floor, I whacked my head and let out a scream of pain. Before I could react anymore, whoever had hold of me grabbed my hair by the roots and held me up as I tried to grip the pain of that and the one at the back of my head. All of a sudden, I felt myself being shoved against the back elevator wall and heard the elevator doors closing. This was by no means good at all. I had to get out of her. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a man ten times my size was holding me. It's no wonder I was having difficulties escaping!

'Let me go!' I yelled and tried to kick. Oh boy did I try. But not only was he ten times my size but also ten times my strength. So kind of difficult to move let alone fight him off! But I tried and failed miserably. He suddenly reached into his pocket and took out some kind of spray and without giving me time to panic or register the item. He sprayed it in my face when next thing I knew, all I could see was total darkness...

Rocket POV

I silently awoke and immediately turned to the direction of where my wife was to be seated before I opened my eyes. But when I did, I found the chair empty and Tia nowhere to be seen. I was a bit confused as she barely left my side but thought she went the bathroom or something so I patiently waited and kept my mind occupied with my baby. I was so excited. We had tried so long and hard to get her pregnant and I was just so happy we finally succeeded. I was a little concerned about my paralysis though. I was going to be the best father possible, I knew that for certain but I also knew I wasn't capable of everything either. I couldn't change the baby or feed it without Tia or any of the basic stuff like that including actually being able to hold my own child. I would either need Tia to help me or I wouldn't be able to do it all but I was going to figure out a way that I could hold my own child no matter what. Even if I could manage that, I would be the happiest father alive.

A good half an hour past and still no Tia. I had done all I could to keep occupied and had a good luck through a book of baby names for both genders which I wouldn't have done without her there but I was getting low on distractions. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and grabbed my phone at the edge of my right bedside locker and sent Tia a text.

Hey angel, where are you? xxx

I pressed send and just a few seconds later, I heard a vibration and ironically enough...Tia's message tone. I followed the noise with my eyes to find Tia's jacket hanging at the bottom of my bed which I found rather odd. She always had her phone with her and had her jacket with her also 90% of the time. I was getting concerned, no doubt but I decided to wait until someone came to check up on me and see if they knew where she was.

Thankfully, a few short minutes later, Simbai came into the room and it didn't take a genius to notice her grim expression.

'Is everything ok Dame Simbai?' I asked worriedly, praying it had nothing to with Tia. I had lost so much, I couldn't lose her especially plus our baby. They meant everything to me, even more than my ability to move. I couldn't lose them.

'Of course Rocket!' she said but her fake smile gave her away. I could feel something was wrong and Simbai's expression didn't help.

'Where's Tia?' I asked worriedly whilst she checked the monitors. For a few moments, there was silence when I finally received an answer.

'Rocket... Let me get Sonny,' she said firmly and left the room before I had a chance to say anything. Panic and fear spread through my body at lightning speed since in an instant I could tell that I was not going to like what I was about to hear. If something had happened to Tia, that not only put her in danger but also our baby. I couldn't lose another baby, I had already lost one but even so, I couldn't lose Tia. I loved her more than anything. She had to be safe. Please God let her be safe.

Within a few impatient minutes, Sonny came into the room followed closely behind by Simbai and I wasted no time in questioning him.

'Sonny, where's Tia? Please tell me she's ok!' I begged as I began to get frantic. I knew something was wrong since Tia always had her jacket with her and especially her phone. And with everything going on, my Tia would've taken her phone with her. She always had her phone close at hand now in case I needed her. Plus, I could see in Sonny and Simbai's expressions that something serious was wrong.

'Rocket, I can't give you a straight answer to the second question because I honestly don't know. Look...I really don't know how to tell you this but...Tia's been kidnapped.' I watched as the small continent of my world fall apart in front of my eyes. Those words couldn't be true, they had to be a dream. 'The reason I know is because there's footage of her putting up a fight against a man in the elevator down the hall. She was knocked unconscious when the camera was intentionally broken and as well as that, earlier Luke called us and...' He drifted off as he struggled to find the words to tell me what had happened.

'And what? Sonny, what happened?' I pushed and finally, he found the words and told me.

'Shortly before the kidnapping, Luke got a letter containing a threat directed to Tia. But he called us about it when it was too late. Luke has his suspicions though I'm not obliged to share. When the time is right, yes but not now. I'm sorry Rocket but we will bring her back to you, safe. You have my word,' Sonny informed me but my focus was on saving my wife and future child. I had fought so hard to get them both, losing them would kill me.

'No, I'm coming with. I have to save them,' I stammered out as I (somehow) sat myself up in the bed but with a struggle. Before he could argue, what I had just said hit Sonny.

'Them?' he questioned, realising that I knew something he didn't so I told them.

'She's pregnant with our baby. We've only known for a few days, I can't lose this baby either as well as Tia. I have to do something,' I said firmly despite feeling extremely weak from using all my energy to sit up. Even though I knew I wasn't physically capable of saving them, I wasn't giving up and Simbai knew it but fought against me anyways.

'Rocket, I understand how you feel but you're not only physically incapable of saving them but also mentally. You can't save them so you have to leave it to Sonny whether you like it or not. Think what's best for you all Rocket, not just them,' she said firmly and I sadly knew I was beaten. For the sake of us all, I was better off staying.

'Ok, I'll stay but bring Tia back safe. Please,' I begged and Sonny nodded before they both left me in peace and I was left alone, now left fearing for lives of my wife and our child she was carrying…

What has happened to Tia? Is she ok? And is the baby ok? We'll find out soon…
