Chapter 29: Searching

I called Jacob to tell him that our babies were missing. It took him all but five minutes to arrive at the hospital. "I'm sorry Nessie I feel like such an asshole. If I would've just stayed here with you like I should have then this wouldn't have happened,"

"It's okay Jacob,"

"No it's not okay. I love you. You are the mother of my children and I just left you here on your own all because I'm afraid to face my father. Now look what happened! What kind of person does that make me?!"

I shook my head. "We'll discuss that later. Right now let's just find our babies. They don't seem to give much of a crap here that our babies just went missing,"

"What?!"

"They're more concerned about some damn baby wolves that got in here,"

Jacob shook his head in disbelief. "Unbelievable,"

We left the hospital without even bothering to check out. I was frantic. Now I knew how my own mother must have felt when I went missing.

We went to the police first and found that they were already investigating the disappearance of my two babies. That was good..At least the hospital wasn't lying when they said they had alerted the local authorities.

I'd never felt so hopeless before. It was devastating. I had to find my children. I just had to find them. Where could they have gone? Who would have taken my babies from the hospital?

Jacob tried to soothe me but it wasn't really working. "I'm going to phase. It'll be easier for me to track them down that way,"

I moved back to give Jacob room to make the shift. It never ceased to amaze me. Watching his form explode into a reassemble into a wolf four times the size of a normal wolf. Jacob's body stiffened. Suddenly he was on high alert. He whimpered.

Something was definitely wrong. I could feel it deep within myself. Danger. Though I had no idea where the danger was coming from. I wouldn't disappear from Italy for two more days. So it couldn't have been the Volturi.

Jacob began to pace frantically back and forth. It was driving me even more crazy than I already felt. Then he looked at me with woeful eyes. He indicated for me to get on his back.

As soon as I was firmly seated on his back he took off running beneath me. I wondered where the hell he was taking me to. My babies. That was all that I could think about right now. My two beautiful babies. Maybe Jacob was able to figure out where they were. But why did he suddenly seem so terrified?

I couldn't enjoy the ride the way I normally would've. If anything I felt like I was about to have a full blown panic attack. Jacob's anxiety was making me even more anxious.

It was a shock to me when he skidded to a halt just outside of an animal shelter. What the hell were we doing here? Suddenly, as if he'd read my mind, Jacob ran right into the building taking out a chunk of the wall along with it. I could feel bits of debris hitting me.

Screaming erupted all around of us. We busted into another room. There were more employees in this room. What caught and held my attention though were the dogs, or rather wolves, I should say. One of them was on the table about to be put down.

Jacob grabbed both of them and started running again. It only took a few seconds for me to connect the dots. There'd been wolf pups at the hospital this morning. At the exact same time that my babies had gone missing. These reddish brown wolf pups were my babies.

Oh holy shit. My babies were mere seconds away from getting killed. I felt like I was going to have a panic attack.
