1 Chapter 13

Samantha put Bailey down and both she and Jason put their hands above their heads. The officer put them both in handcuffs. "Mr., My daddy is hurt!" Bailey screamed. Another officer came in and followed her to her bedroom. The officer walked up to Matt and checked his pulse. "Very slow, we need to get him to a hospital," the officer said to another officer. The EMT's came up and picked up Matt. They put him in the ambulance. As soon as the ambulance drove off, a police officer walked up to Bailey.

"Hi. Who are you?" the man asked. "I'm Bailey," she said smiling.

"Are you Bailey Saxe?" he asked. "No. I'm Bailey Hardy," she said proudly.

The officer took her hand. "Let's go to the hospital to see both your mommy and daddy." Bailey nodded.

::Hospital::

Matt laid in the bed sick. The bullet had been taken out and he had been patched up. He looked out the window. He was happy that Samantha and Jason were locked away, but was worried about Amy and Bailey. His thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. "Hey Matt," Amy said walking over. He smiled as she leaned down and kissed him. "Is Bailey ok?" he asked worried. "She's fine. Now our main concern is you. How are you?" she asked concerned. "Never been better," he said sarcastically.

She leaned down to kiss him again when Bailey came in. "Yo Dude and Dudet," she said laughing. Amy shook her head. "You are the cutest little thing," Amy said hugging Bailey. "How are you Daddy and Mommy?" she asked. "We are doing fine honey," Amy said. She picked up Bailey and set her near Matt. The three of them hugged. These past days had been the most hectic they had ever experienced.

::3 months later, Floyd Lamb Park::

The three of them were having a picnic in the middle of the park. They almost got thrown out because of Bailey throwing food everywhere. Bailey was playing on the swing set, when Matt motioned her over. He whispered something in her ear. She smiled and walked to Amy.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Mommy, Happy Birthday to you," Bailey screamed. Amy smiled and hugged her. "Thank you sweetie," she replied kissing her cheek.

"Now, my daddy would like to present to you his present," she said happily. "I would?" he asked.

"Yes of course Daddy. You told me that you wanted to give her-----but Matt cut her off by placing his hand on her mouth. "Go play sweetie," he said smiling. She gave him a mean glare and ran off. He got up and took Amy's hands. She then stood up as well. "Amy, I love you so much," he said kissing her neck. She smiled and told him she loved him too. He grabbed a flower and gave it to her. "This flower reminds me of you, its beautiful," he said smiling. She looked at the flower and gasped when she saw the middle part was a diamond. She ripped the flower apart and revealed it to be an engagement ring. He smiled and kneeled down. "Amy Dumas, will you marry me?" he asked nervously. She thought for a second and then smiled. "No."
