Upstairs, Camden grabbed the tablet that his parents used as a baby monitor. Remembering his sisters had downloaded this messaging app for when their mom didn't have her phone while feeding the babies. It also has a video chat that they used for when they talked to their dad on the road.
He found his dad's name and clicked it. Hoping his dad forgot to turn off the video chat.
Dean-
After Lola had woken up and was fed again, the doc said I could take her home. Seth had her in his arms right now. Wyatt stayed just in case we needed him. Hearing music coming from my phone and looked at it.
"Why the hell is it making noise?", I asked out loud.
Wyatt chuckled, taking my phone.
"It's the video chat, Gracie and I use it all the", he stopped when he saw the look on my face.
"I mean, we don't use it at all", he said.
"Answer the damn call", I said.
He pressed the button and Camden's face popped up. Luca in the background crying.
"Cam, what's up bud? Where's mommy?", I asked.
He was crying.
"A lady, she's in the house. I think she hurt mommy, daddy", he said.
"Camden, stay in the room. Don't move", I said.
He nodded. Handing the phone back to Wyatt.
"Stay on the phone with him, talk to him. Let's go", I said.
He nodded.
"Seth, stay here with Lola", I said.
He nodded. Roman came with me. I could hear Wyatt talking to Camden as I told Detective Scott what was happening.
Lexi-
My head hurt, I could hear Luca crying in her room. I tried to stand, but I was in a lot of pain.
"You stupid bitch. You ruined everything", I heard Penny shout.
I looked in her direction. She couldn't stand, her ankle was broken and swollen. I took a deep breath before trying to stand again.
"Madison, help me", I heard Penny say.
She reached out beside her, but I didn't see anyone.
"Your sister is dead, Penny", I said.
I touched the back of my head, pulling my hand forward. It had blood.
"Shut up", Penny yelled.
"Its over Penny. You can't have my family and yes that does include Jon and Catherine. They are mine", I said, gritting my teeth.
Feeling a throbbing in my head.
In the room, Camden was talking to Wyatt. He heard someone shout and put the tablet down.
"Camden, stay in the room buddy. Okay, your dad is coming", Wyatt said.
Camden pulled his little sister's bouncing chair into the closet. She was asleep and hungry.
"I'll be back Luca, okay", he said softly to her before kissing her cheek.
He grabbed the tablet and Wyatt sighed. He noticed Camden put it against the closet wall.
"Cam", he called.
"I have to help mommy", Camden said.
"No Camden, I'm coming", he heard his dad say.
"But she's hurting mommy", Camden said.
He went over to the door, hearing his dad shouting for him from the tablet. He unlocked it, walking out and relocked it before closing it. His sister would be safe. He walked over to the top of the stairs and watched this woman grab his mom by the ankle and dragged her down the rest of the steps. His mom was hurt.
"He was mine and you took him from me", Penny shouted.
She grabbed Lexi by the hair and pulled, dragging her as best she could. Lexi was trying to push the pain away. Grabbing Penny's hurt ankle. She screamed. Penny punched her. Lexi groaned. She tried to lift herself up using the coffee table, but Penny climbed on top of her, wrapping her hands around Lexi's throat.
She scratched at Penny's arms.
"I'll take good care of your brats for you, I'll make sure their deaths are fast and painless", Penny said.
Lexi couldn't get any air into he lungs.
"No", Camden shouted and hit Penny with a wooden baseball bat.
Her hands loosened around Lexi's throat, allowing her to breathe. Gasping for air. Camden was going to hit Penny again, but she grabbed the bat and pushed him back hard. He bumped into a table and knocked over a glass vase. He held his side and Lex crawled towards him.
"Mommy", Camden cried.
Lexi was going to reach for him, but Penny grabbed her leg and pulled her back. Lexi reaching for a piece of glass.
"Cover your eyes Cam", Lexi got out.
He did. Penny grabbed the bat, straddling Lexi.
"This is your own damn fault", Penny yelled.
Lexi lifted her hand and pushed the glass into Penny's throat. Penny gasped and dropped the bat, putting both hands to her throat.
"Don't ever hit my baby", Lexi said, pulling out the glass and stabbing Penny again.
Penny fell off of Lexi, blood pooling around her. Lexi took a deep breath before sitting up and turning to Camden.
"Cam", she called.
He looked up and ran to her, jumping into her arms. Crying into her shoulder. The back of her head still hurt but she didn't care, her son was safe. The front door was kicked open and police barged in. Detective Scott behind them. He sighed when he saw Lexi.
"Are you hurt?", he asked.
"I hit the back of my head when I fell down the stairs", Lexi said.
He nodded. Dean ran in, along with Wyatt and Roman. Dean's tears fell at the sight of his wife and son.
"Hey, what took you so long", she said.
He chuckled and shook his head before making his way to them. Wrapping his arms around them and kissing their heads.
"Luca is upstairs", Camden said.
Dean nodded.
"Wyatt and I will get her", Roman said.
Dean cupped his wife's face.
"Are you sure you're okay?", he asked.
"Just the back of my head, I don't know if anything else was hurt. My adrenaline is still kicking", she said.
He nodded.
"Someone is waiting for you at the police station. She's about three days old, sweetest little face, and missing her mommy like crazy.", he said.
She smiled.
"You found Lola", she said, as the paramedics ran in.
"Wyatt did", he said.
"I want to see her, bring her to me", Lexi said.
"I will babe", he said, kissing her.
Camden didn't want to let her go. The paramedic said it was okay that he went with Lexi. Roman came down with Luca in his arms.
"Camden put her in the closet", Wyatt said.
Dean sighed.
"I'm going to grab her and Lola a change of clothes", Dean said.
"Already did it", Roman said.
"Diapers?", Dean asked.
"And wipes are in the baby bag. I think she might be hungry though", Roman said.
Luca kept turning her head, a pout on her face. Dean made her a bottle using formula. Roman fed her while they stopped to pick up Seth and Lola.
Lexi-
Camden had fallen asleep beside me. His arms wrapped around my waist. The door opened and Dean walked in with two car seats. I smiled and tried to sit up as much as I could.
"Look girls, it's mommy", Dean said, smiling and setting down the car seats.
He unbuckled both and lifted one out. Bringing her over to me.
"Here's Lola", he said.
I looked down at the adorable face.
"Hi my baby", I said softly.
Kissing her cheek.
"They might be hungry still", he said, pulling out Luca.
I nodded. I lifted my shirt and hoped all the excitement didn't stop my milk.
"Did you get her looked at, to make sure Penny didn't do anything to her?", I asked.
He nodded.
"She's in perfect health", he said.
I nodded. Lola latched on.
"Are we going to talk about what happened? About how Penny died?", he asked softly to not wake Camden.
"I killed her, she was trying to kill me and then threatened to kill them. I had too", I said.
He sat beside me.
"You don't have to explain anything to me. I won't look at you any differently and you know that. I've been in your position, remember", he said.
I nodded.
"Cam hit her. If he didn't she would have killed me", I said.
He looked at Camden and smiled.
"That's my boy. I told him to take care of you and Luca.", he said.
"He hit the table, doctor checked him out and said he'll have a bruise but that's about it.", I said.
He nodded.
"We should have him talk to someone. What he went through was traumatic and I'm not a hundred percent sure if he saw me kill Penny.", I said.
He looked at Camden, worried.
"We'll take him to your therapist. He helped us, he can do the same for Cam.", he said.
He swallowed and leaned over, pressing his lips against mine.
"I love you, so much", he whispered.
I smiled and softly touched his cheek.
"I love you", I replied.
