CHAPTER 2
"Linda, meet me at the airport in 20 minutes, just hurry." Vince said as he sat in his
limo. He was on his way to the airport now.
He couldn't believe this was happening. His precious Milia Amber. In the past 20 years
not a day went by when he didn't think of her. He had given up hope after the five years.
She had been his precious baby daughter. His "precious miracle," he had called her.
After Stephanie had been born, Linda and him had been told that she couldn't have any
more children. Then four years later, Milia was born.
Then when she was almost 1, she was kidnapped from a hotel room. Vince had put up
the ransom money right away, but after the deal had went bad, they had never seen her
again. It was the post painful time in his life. It had been kept quite for Milia's safety.
The pain had never dulled though.
Vince and Linda had gone on with their lives; they had two other children to think about
at the time. After Five years, the police told them that there was no hope, that she was
probably dead.
"Now after all these years." He said to himself. It was like a missing part of his heart
was back.
*******************************************************************
Milia opened her eyes, and looked around the room. The first thing she noticed was how
white the room was, at leased compared to the last place she lived.
She hurt all over, and tried not to move, not wanting to feel the pain. Barry had really
done a number on her this time. But by now she was use to it. Used to the feeling of the
impact on her body.
She turned her head and looked out the window. It had been such a long time since she
had seen the sun.
She heard someone come into her room, and swung her head around to see who it was.
A lady dressed in blue came in, she had a white apron on.
"Hi, it's good to see that your awake, how are you feeling?"
Milia didn't say anything, she just stared at the woman.
"Okay, I can tell you're not in a talking mood. But I can tell you that your family are on
their way."
Family, I thought. What family? Berry. No Berry wasn't family, he was just someone
who used her for what she wanted and then left her alone. No, Milia didn't have a
family. But still she didn't say anything. She just watched the nurse leave.
********************************************************************
Two hours later . . . . . .
Vince and Linda were on their way to the hospital. It seemed like the longest ride of
their life.
"Vince this is just so unreal." Linda said looking over at her husband.
"I no honey, but it's what we've been hoping for, for so long." Vince said reaching over
and grabbing her hand.
Linda couldn't help but be nervous. So many years had passed, and now they were going
to go meet the daughter they barely know.
Finally they pulled up to the hospital. They rushed to get out of the limo, and walked
into the hospital. They stopped at the information desk, trying to figure our where they
needed to go. After getting directions, they rushed to the second floor of the hospital.
They were met by a police officer and a doctor as they got out of the officer.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. McMahon. I'm your daughter's doctor." He said shaking their
hands.
"So what's wrong with her, what kind of condition is she in?" Vince asked with concern
in his voice.
"She is in stable condition, and doing quite excellent considering what she's been
through. She does have major bruising and cuts on her body. But everything should heal
with no problem. The only thing we are concerned about at this time is her mental state.
She has been awake for the past couple of hours, and she has yet to speak. She has no
medical condition from stopping her though." Vince let out a breath of relief, knowing
that she would be alright.
"Can anyone tell us about where she has been, or what has happened to her?" Linda
asked looking back and forth from the police officer and the doctor.
"I can tell you something's up to a point." The policeman said. "We found her in one of
the old abandon warehouses, that we had raided. The men who had been keeping her
there were shot. They had been dealing drugs, and keeping the product in the warehouse.
That is all we know. And as said before Milia will not talk."
"Doctor can we see her now?" Linda asked anxious to see her daughter.
"Yes, but please take it easy with her."
The doctor led them down to her room. They looked through the door window and saw
that she was sleeping. It was hard to believe that this was the little girl that they had
remembered her as. She was a young woman now, and it pained them to see how the
years had changed her, and had done it without them.
Vince opened the door for his wife, and followed her. Milia's eyes opened and stared at
them, not having a clue who they were.
************************************************************************
Milia watched the two people who were standing in the room, looking at her. They
seemed familiar, but that was it. They began to walk over to where she was.
"Milia, I know this is all pretty strange to you, and your scared right now, but I think that
we need to talk to you." The woman said sitting down in one of the chairs near the bed.
The man remained standing, behind the woman's chairs. There were tears in both of
their eyes.
Then the man began to speak. "Milia, honey, we are your parents." Milia's eyes grew
big, and she became confused. "You were taken away from us when you were a baby.
And even though we searched for you, we couldn't find you." The man said.
"But now we are here with you, and we always will be. I know it will take time, but we
hope you will come to know us as your family.
Milia didn't say anything. She just watched them, taking in their words. She actually
had a family. After all these years, she had parents. Milia turned her head back to the
window, trying to uncloud her thoughts.
*Please review and tell me what you think of my story so far. And please feel free to
make suggestions, or give me your opinions.
