Jamie's POV
I can't wait to get home to my girls. It's been a long two weeks, I love my new job I just hate all the traveling. I know Callie hasn't been very happy about it and Peyton doesn't understand why daddy has to go. Thank god this is last trip I have to go on until after twins come. We have so much to get done and not very much time to do it. I know it's getting harder for Callie to do very much. She agreed to let me pick out the nursery theme, and I let her pick out the furniture. I picked out a vintage baseball theme, the guys are going to come over this weekend and help me paint and put everything together.
We finally land and call Callie and let her know I will be home shortly. She asked if I would stop and get her some chocolate fudge ice cream. At least with the twins she hasn't had to strange of cravings. I stop and get the ice cream and head home. I walk in and it's surprisingly quiet. I put the ice cream in the freezer and go to find my girls. I stop outside the door where I can see Callie laying on the bed and Peyton talking to her tummy. Peyton giggles when the babies kick her.
"Mommy when brodders come? I pway wift them soon?" Callie smiles.
"They will be here around Christmas, but they will be to small to play. You can hold them and help mommy and daddy take care of them okay?"
"Otay mommy." She looks up and sees me in the doorway.
"Daddy!" I walk over to the bed and she jumps into my arms. I kiss her all over and she giggles.
"Hi baby. Where you good girl for mommy?" She nods and lays her head on my shoulder. I lean down and kiss Callie.
"Come on baby girl it's way past your bedtime…" She starts to fuss.
"No sweeply daddy!" I sigh and sit on her bed. She has a death grip on me.
"Say night-night to mommy. Do you want me to read you a story?" Callie sighs and shakes her head.
"She can stay in here tonight…" I look at Callie and set Peyton back down on the bed next to her.
"Good night baby girl." I kiss her head.
I was hoping to have some mommy and daddy time tonight but I guess that isn't going to happen. I grab my stuff and head to the bathroom to take a very cold shower. By the time I get out both of my girls are sound a sleep. I kiss them both and go to sleep. The next morning I get woke up by a very hard kick to the groin from Peyton. I whimper loudly and wakes Callie up.
"What happen?"
"Nothing… I get up and go into the bathroom." Callie sighs and follows me. Knowing exactly what happened.
"I'm sorry babe…"
"I will be okay…It just really hurt since it's the morning…" Callie looks down and knows exactly what I was talking about.
She wraps her arms around me and kisses me. I have to laugh when our sons decide to kick us too. I place my hands over where they are kicking.
"Hi guys. Daddy missed you two…" I lean down and kiss her tummy.
After breakfast we take Peyton and Molly to the park we spend the rest of the morning there. She falls a sleep on the way back to the house. I carry her up to her room and put her down. I go back down stairs where Callie has her Ipad looking at baby names.
"We need to name these two…" She says not looking up.
"Yes we do. I don't want their names too be too much alike." She looks at me confused.
"What do you mean?"
"I want them to have their own names. Not start with the same letter or rhyme… Like Aiden and Caden." She smiles.
"Yeah that is to much… So do you have anything in mind?" I nod.
"My favorites so far are; Austin, Easton, Jayce, Ryder, Sawyer and Wyatt." Callie makes a face at when I say Wyatt.
"I'm not naming my son after an boyfriend. So Wyatt is out." I nod completely agreeing to that.
"I have Braydon, Camdon, Kyler, Jayce, Parker, and Tyler." I smile.
"So we agree on Jayce. What about a middle name?"
"Hmm. Jayce Parker, Jayce Michael, Jayce Robert. I like Jayce Parker Hunter, for this little guy." Callie points to the right side of her tummy, where is baby A.
"I love it baby. Plus we will have the same initials." I kiss her and she smiles.
"Hi Jayce. Mommy and daddy can't wait to meet you…" We laugh when he kicks and moves around. He is a lot more active. His brother is the one that keeps Callie up at night.
"So what about his brother?" Callie asks.
"I really like Easton, Ryder and Kyler…"
"How about Ryder James Hunter?" I have a huge grin on my face.
"It's perfect." I kiss her deeply and we have some mommy and daddy time before Pey wakes up.

Callie knew having Jamie home until after the babies come was to good to be true. He was home for a month before his dad sent him to London. Since he has been back he has been working none stop. Callie is sick of it, he hasn't even finished the nursery and missed the shower the girls through for them. At least the boys will be sleeping in their room for while. Callie just thought she was big before. Even doing the smallest things is getting harder and harder. Their second wedding anniversary is in four days and Callie is pretty sure he as forgotten because he hasn't said a word about it. But it's not like they have really talked lately.
The doctor has her taking it easy because her blood presser was high at the last visit so Peyton has been going to daycare since Callie can't do much and Jamie has been working. Thank God for Netflix or she really would die of boredom. They are planning on having Christmas at Their house so Callie doesn't have to travel. But that is still two weeks away. Then Callie's moms are going take turns staying with Callie until the babies come. Right now their C-section is still set for December 27th. But Callie is pretty sure they have turned. Ryder is still pretty high and has gotten to where he kicks her in the ribs. Jamie was supposed to be home an hour ago and he isn't answering his phone. She sends him a text.
Where are u and why aren't you answering my calls. The day care closes in 45 minutes.
Thirty minutes later she still hasn't heard from him, so much for trying to stay calm. She calls Sean and he told her he left three hours ago. She doesn't know why but she has a horrible feeling that something is very wrong. Callie turns off Netflix and turns on the news. Jamie walks in right at the breaking story starts. Callie sees the look on his face and then hears the story about a kidnapped toddler.
"Jamie please tell me what the hell is going on?"
Jamie sighs and walks over to her. He leads her over to the couch and turns off the TV.
"The daycare called a few hours ago. Peyton was taken from the playground…"
"What?" Callie is completely panicking now.
"All I know is a kid got hurt so they were taking care of him and Dylan told Mrs. Scott some man took Pey…"
Callie completely losses it, Jamie holds her and rubs her back. She gets up and grabs her keys and phone then heads to the door Jamie jumps up and stops her.
"Where are you going?"
"I have to find her Jamie I'm not just going to sit her and do nothing my baby girl is out there with some creep."
"Callie every cop in the city is out there looking for her and the FBI… You are not going…" He doesn't even finish what he was saying.
When Callie starts to feel dizzy. Jamie can see something is very wrong.
"Jamie… I don't feel so good…" Callie doesn't finish before she passes out. Thankfully Jamie catches her before she hits the floor.
"Callie! Please wake up baby." He grabs his phone and dials 911.
He does what they tell him to and checks for a pulse and thank god she has one and is breathing.
"Baby please wake up Callie. I love you." He keeps talking too her as he is freaking out.
The ambulance finally gets there. He never lets go of her hand as they take her to the hospital. His phone starts to blow up after the whole family sees the news. He sends a group text tells them to meet him at the hospital. Once they get there they rush her into the ER and make him go out the waiting room. Brandon and Eliza are the first to show up.
"How is she? Is there any word on Peyton yet?" Brandon asks.
"She was still unconscious when we got here. They are looking for Peyton. I'm pretty sure it was Amber and Andrew…"
"Wait aren't they in prison?" Eliza asks.
"No they got out early on good behavior. I told the cops everything I know about them. Plus I have a very good PI looking for them."
A little while later the whole family is in the waiting room. When Dr. Green comes out to talk to Jamie.
"How is she? How are the babies?"
"Callie is wake. Her blood pressure is dangerously high which is completely understandable. We got her contractions stopped for now. If her blood pressure doesn't come down or gets higher we will do the C-section tonight."
"I can we see her?" Jamie asks.
"Yes but just you and her moms for now they are moving her up to room 318. I will keep a close eye on her."
"Thank you Dr. Green."
Jamie, Stef and Lena. Go up to Callie's room. She hooked up to a bunch of monitors and Jamie sighs when he hears the babies heartbeats. He walks over to her kisses her softly and holds her hand. She sees her moms and they rush over to her and she starts crying all over again.
"I love you Callie. I was so scared when you passed out…"
"Have they found her yet?" She asks in a weak and shaky voice.
"Not yet baby but they will and she will be back in your arms soon. Right now you need to take care of the boys." Stef tells her.
Callie cries softly. Jamie's phone starts to ring. He sees it's the cops he goes outside and answers it. They given him an update but they still haven't found her yet. Callie tries the best she can to clam down but it isn't easy. The doctor decides to give her a light sedative to help her sleep. Jamie comes back into Callie's room. Callie is snoring so they know she is a sleep.
"What did the cops say?" Stef asks.
"They have a few leads but they haven't found her yet. I have one of the best-retired FBI agents looking too. Look I know this is my fault. Callie hasn't said it but I can tell by the way she looks at me…" Lena and Stef both sigh.
"Yes you have been gone a lot, but nobody is blaming you." Lena states.
"We are going to go update everybody and get some coffee. If you need us call." Stef says as they walk out of the room.
Jamie sits in the chair next to the bed. His dad calls and he tells him everything that has happened. He said he is going to make some calls but they will be on their way as soon as they can. Once he hangs up Jamie says another prayer for Peyton, Callie and the boys. Callie groans as the babies wake her up both kicking really hard.
"Now that we are alone are you going to tell me what you are hiding from me? And don't you dare tell me it's nothing James." Jamie sighs knowing the only time she calls him James when she is really mad at him.
"I swear I will tell you but you have to stay calm because I can't lose you or the boys…" Callie just glares at Jamie.
"Amber and Andrew got out of prison a month ago on good behavior…"
"Seriously? Why the hell am I just finding out about that? Don't you think I should know that your psycho ex girl friend that tried to kill me once is out of prison?"
"I didn't want to stress you out even more than you already were. Yes this is all my fault for being gone and bringing her into your life in the first place. The whole way back to the house all I did was pray that when I told you what happened that I wouldn't cause you to lose the boys too. You have no idea how mad I am at myself Cal. She is my daughter too."
"Just go I can't even look at you right now. And don't you dare come back until you find her. I swear to god if something happens to Peyton you will never see me or the boys…" Jamie knew she was mad but he ever thought she would say something like that.
"Callie."
"Don't I don't want to hear it. Because you can't promise that she is okay or that you will find her. So please don't say it." Jamie sighs in defeat.
"I love you Callie. I just was going to tell you I will do whatever it takes to find her. Please call me if some changes with the babies. I'm not missing their birth." Callie nods and Jamie walks out of her room right as Stef and Lena are coming in.
"She doesn't want me here. So please call me if anything happens, I know this is all on me but I'm not missing my sons birth…"
"Jamie whatever she said she doesn't mean she is hurting and we all say things we don't mean when we are upset." Lena tells him and Jamie completely breaks down. There is only so much one person can handle. Stef looks at Lena.
"I got him you go check on Callie." Lena tells her wife. After a little while Jamie calms down.
"I will be at home. Please Lena call me if something happens. I will let you know if I hear anything about Peyton."
"I promise Jamie. I know how much you love your family. Don't do anything stupid okay?"
"I won't." Jamie walks out of the hospital. He calls for a car to take him home.
Once Jamie gets home he calls Sean to come over. He changes out of his work close and goes to finish working on the nursery once Sean gets there. They work the rest of the night and finally get everything completely finished. They talk to the cops and set up a press conference for nine o'clock. He takes a quick shower and gets dressed. He calls Stef on his way to the police station to check on Callie and tell her about the press conference where he plans on announcing a 25,000 dollar reward. Stef agrees to have Callie watch it. After the press conference Jamie heads to the hospital. He sees Dr. Green walking out of Callie's room.
"Hi Doctor. How is she doing? How are the boys?"
"Hi Jamie. They are stable for now. Her blood pressure is still higher than I would like but I want to keep them in as long as they aren't in distress. We gave her some medicine that will help their lungs mature so if we have to deliver them it will help them in the long run. She is wanting to go home but I talked her out of it."
"Thank you. I know you are doing everything you can." She smiles at him.
"You're welcome Jamie. Have you heard anything new about Peyton?"
"Not yet. We are hoping the reward will at least give us some new leads."
"We all are praying for her save return." She hugs him and he thanks her.
Jamie takes a deep breath and knocks on Callie's door. Stef answers it and gives him a hug. He sees Callie look at him but then looks away. He sighs as he walks over to her.
"Hi… How are you doing?" Callie just stares at him.
"How do you think I'm doing?" Lena looks at Stef not believing what they hear or see.
"Right stupid question. I love you Callie. I just wanted to check on you and the boys."
He gets up and walks out to the waiting room. Slumps down in one of the chairs. Stef decides to talk to Callie. She sits on the side of the hospital bed and holds Callie's hand. She takes a deep breath before starting.
"Callie Love, I know you are hurting and this is one of the worst possible things that a parent can go through. But please try to remember that he is her father and is hurting just as much or more than you are. He blames himself for everything. But he needs his wife you two need each other."
Callie looks at her mother; she can't believe she is taking his side. It wasn't that long ago when she heard Stef talking to Lena about how she didn't think they would make it as a couple. All she wanted to do was prove her wrong because she did love him. Now she knows she was right. She will probably always have feelings for him but she just can't forgive him for this.
"Good he should blame himself for this. I don't need him; I can't even look at him. I just need my baby to be back in my arms and to have two healthy boys." Callie states as she takes her wedding rings off and hands them to her. The first time in two years she has taken them off. Stef stares at her daughter in disbelief as her heart breaks for both of them. Lena tries to keep her tears from falling but is unsuccessful.
"You can give those back to him. Tell him you will let him know when the babies are here and he can see them, and that he can leave he doesn't need to wait around here." Callie says with bitterness in her voice. Stef shakes her head.
"No Callie. I won't do that. If you want to end your marriage than you can do it yourself. Remember the vow you took, too love each other through the good times and the bad. But you better think long and hard about this. Because there is no coming back…" Stef states and gives Callie the rings back to her.
"Callie, we will be here for you no matter what you decide to do. Remember that it isn't just you two. You have the prettiest little mini you that loves her daddy so much, and two baby boys that need their daddy as much as you do weather you want to admit it or not." Lena says softly.
Callie cries for the millionth time in last twenty-four hours. How dear she say that she hasn't thought about her babies. That's all she has been thinking about is keeping them safe and right now if that means not having Jamie in their life than so be it.
"Mama that is all I have been thinking about. I have to keep them safe and right now my daughter is missing because of his psycho ex that won't stop until she gets what she wants which is Jamie. As much as I still love him, I just can't put our lives at risk anymore. So please just go. If he is still hear you can send him in."
"Okay. We love you Callie. We will be back later okay? Call us if you need us…" They nod and hug Callie before they walk out. They know she is going to need them so they don't leave the hospital.
Jamie looks up when they walk out of her room. He can see hurt and pity in their eyes. They walk over to him and sit with one on each side. Stef takes a deep breath before starting.
"Jamie she wants to talk to you. But before you go in there just be prepared you aren't going to like what she is going to say. We want to you to know that we both love you and you will always have us. No matter what happens." Jamie nods he doesn't bother wiping his tears away this time.
He gives Stef his phone just in case they call about Peyton. He slowly makes his way to Callie's room. He can barely see through his tears. He takes a seat by her bed not trusting his legs right now.
"First off I want to say that there is a part of me that will always love you, but as a mother I can't put my kids or my life in danger anymore. We both know that she isn't going to stop until she gets what she wants, which is you. I won't keep the kids from you. We will work something out when they get older…" Jamie can't take it anymore. Callie has never seen him this mad before.
"If you ever did love me you know there is no why in hell that I would ever put you or our kids in danger. How the hell was I supposed to know they would get out early. You know Callie I never thought you could be heartless. I guess the last three years have meant nothing to you or our vows. I should have listened to everybody when they told me that you would just end up breaking my heart. But you know what I would still do it all over again because in the end I have the greatest little girl that calls me daddy and two more coming. So I hope you are happy when you have tell her that daddy isn't coming home anymore. Just remember that this was all your idea." He gets up and walks to the door taking one last look at her.
"I will bring Peyton to see you because I'm going to find her." He barely makes it out of the room before he completely losses it.
Callie cries hard she knows her heart can't take much more. But he was right this was her fault and she just let the best thing that has ever happened to her. Her boys were kicking like crazy when they heard their daddy and which makes everything so much harder. Jamie makes his way back to the waiting room. The moms can tell that it went about like they thought it would.
"Jamie the cops think they have a credible lead." Stef says as she hands his phone back to him.
"Really?" Jamie asks trying not to get his hopes up.
"Yes. Several people called the hotline and reported seeing Amber and Andrew in east LA. Lena is going to stay with Callie we are going to the station." He nods and they head out to the police station.
"As you probably know Callie wants a divorce. I'm sorry I wasn't a better husband for your daughter. But I promise to still be the best father I can be." Stef squeezes his hand.
"Jamie I don't blame you for any of this. Callie will come around once her baby is back in her arms. I know you would do anything for them." Jamie sighs as he looks out the window.
"She has her mind made up. So I'm going to respect her decision. She hasn't been happy for a while now. This was just the icing on the cake."
When they get the station, they are told that they indeed found Amber and Andrew but there is a stand off going on. They take them to the scene after Jamie threatens to sue them if they don't. When they get there they go over the command center. Stef talks to the Capitan to find out what they know. They hear two gun shots, Jamie doesn't think twice about running toward the house. Before he can get inside Andrew comes out with his hands up and Jamie can hear Peyton crying. He stops long enough to hit Andrew as hard as he can. Then goes to find his baby girl.
He sees Amber dead on the floor. Which is not one bit sad about he follows the crying to the back room. He runs over to her and carefully picks her up.
AN: Please don't hate me. They have a long a road ahead. I hope you are happy with names. Jayce is named after my new nephew so of course I had to use his name. Please let me know what you think. I have started the next chapter but I have to work all day tomorrow and Saturday so I don't know how much I will be able to work on it.
