October 1st, 2007
A kidnapping changed everything in a family. Ty and Alex were terrified to leave the girls alone for even five minutes. They had come too close to loosing Caroline forever. Over the past couple of weeks, they had spent a lot of time at the cabin. It was nice to get away from the city and all the threat.
Jade sat on Ty's lap as he fished. Alex, cradling the sleeping Caroline in her arms, watched them carefully. She didn't want Jade to fall in and them have another accident.
"When are we going to feel safe again?" Alex said out loud. Ty looked over to his wife and shrugged.
"I don't know. Soon I hope." He said. She sighed and looked down at Caroline.
"Do you think she'll ever stop remembering the scene?"
"Of course. She's almost two years old. I'm sure the memory will fade away." Ty said, "It has to."
"But what if it doesn't?" Alex said, "She told me she's afraid of booms." Ty sighed.
"She'll be okay, Alex." He said.
"Would you be okay if someone blew their brains out onto you?" Alex glared at her husband. Jade slid off of Ty's lap and went over to Alex. She touched Caroline's cheek softly.
"Momma, I'm her big sista." Jade said. Alex nodded.
"I know that, Sweetie." She said. Jade turned her sad blue eyes to her mother.
"I promise, to take care of her, Kay? I won't let her get taken again." Jade said, "It's my job to take care of her." Alex smiled.
"I would like that a lot." She said, "Let me go lay her down. You need to get your Pjs on." Jade nodded.
"Can I sleep with her?" Jade asked her mother. Alex smiled softly as she got up.
"Of course. Come on." She led her family inside. Ty sighed softly as he reeled in a fish. Sure, Caroline would be having a hard time with this, but Alex never asked him if he was. His daughter was taken too. He watched a woman kill herself in front of his daughter. Ty growled and threw his fish back.
"Damn world." He threw his fishing pole down. Why did his heart still hurt? Ty looked up at the cabin. The light in the girl's room was still on. His lip trembled slightly. They were running. They were running from their life because they were too afraid to lead a normal like. Tears started to flow from his eyes. "God damn it."
He began to sob into his hands. The past couple of weeks he had to keep it in. He couldn't upset Alex because She was so edgy lately. He couldn't upset the girls because they were so frightened.
Alex stepped out of the cabin's back door after she had tucked the girls in. They had fallen asleep pretty much right when their heads hit the pillows. Alex stopped in her tracks when she saw Ty crying. His sobs were like arrows in her heart. She walked up behind him and touched his back softly.
"What's wrong?" She asked softly. Ty jumped and wiped his eyes.
"Nothings wrong. Are the girls asleep?" He asked. Alex sighed deeply and sat next to him. She stared at his red eyes.
"What's wrong?" She asked. Ty shook his head.
"Nothing." He said.
"Ty, you're talking to me. Somethings wrong." Alex said. Ty's lip trembled slightly. She took his hand, "Talk to me."
"I can't." He whispered. She squeezed his hand.
"Please talk to me." Alex said. Ty looked at the ground.
"I can't get it out of my head, Alex. Every time I close my eyes, I see the fear in Carrie's eyes. I can't make the fear and worry go away." Ty's body trembled. He started to cry again. "I w-want our life back. I w-want Sharon back and okay. I want that day back. Wh-Why do things l-like these happen to us, Alex?"
"We can have our lives back, Ty." Alex said.
"How? How Alex?" Ty looked at her.
"We can't let what happen run our lives. We're running, Ty." Alex said, "Sharon is dead. No one will touch the girls." Ty laughed.
"We both know what kind of people live in New York." He said.
"Yeah we do, but…but we also know how many great people live there. We can't teach the girls that being scared is okay." She said, "We just need to move on. If not for us, then for the girls."
"Aren't you scared?" Ty asked her softly.
"I'm terrified." Alex said, "But we can't do this anymore, Ty, and you know it. Jade needs to get back to school. Carrie needs to play with her friends. We need to get back to work." Ty nodded.
"I know." He said softly. He wrapped his arms around his wife's slender waist. Alex wrapped her hands around his neck and they held each other tight. Living in fear was no way to raise their daughters. They couldn't do it and they knew they had to change everything.

The Davis' had their life back. They took their lives back with vengeance. Work school everything meant a lot to them. Ty looked at his wife with a grin.
"Come on." He extended his hand. She looked at him as if he was nuts. "Ladybug and Cricket are at Beth's house. We're alone."
"I'm not really up for sex right now." She said. Ty chuckled.
"Let's go out and have a few drinks. We need a night out. We haven't done that in a long time." He said. Alex smiled softly.
"Yeah. We haven't." She said, "A lot of liquor?" Ty nodded.
"A lot except I won't barf in anybody's vans." He winked.
"I don't think Bobby ever forgave you for that." Alex said as she stood up. Ty chuckled as he watched her change her shirt. Very very nice body.
"I don't think he did either." He said. Ty watched Alex closely. Sure she has had two children but she looked as strong and slim as she did the first day they met. The only change was her breasts. They were a little bit bigger. Ty couldn't help but to groan. Alex turned and smiled.
"What was that for?" She asked him.
"I was looking at the goddess in front of me." Ty smiled. Alex shrugged and ran her hand through hr hair.
"All right. I'm ready." She smiled.

The beat of the bass pulsated through their feet and brains. Alex's hips ground against Ty's. He liked being this close to his wife. It made him very….very ready to take her home.
"Let's have a drink or two." Alex pulled away from Ty.
"A girl…woman after my own heart." He chuckled leading his wife to the bar. "Two shots of your strongest liquor."
"You sure you wont be barfing?" She asked, "We've already had two Smirnoff's." Ty chuckled pulling out some money.
"No, but I'm sure I wont be barfing in anyone's vans." He said.
"Oh yeah. Sure." She chuckled taking the shot glass, "To having the girls gone." She raised the glass.
"To a night filled with drunk sex." Ty smiled and drank the liquor.
"OH god." Alex coughed. Her body shivered. "That was horrible, but oh so good." Ty chuckled waving the bartender for more.
"We're walking home tonight." He said taking another shot.
"I know." She smiled, "Could I have another Smirnoff?"
"Don't mix." Ty said. Alex chuckled.
"I can mix. You're the one who can't mix." She said to her husband.
"I think I already mixed." Ty said shooting back another shot, "God…Give me a Smirnoff too." Alex chuckled.
"Just take a boiler maker." She said, "You always wind up drinking two or three." Ty looked at her and then the bartender.
"Get two Boiler Makers. One for me and one for my wife her." Ty said leaning against the bar. Alex giggled softly.
"Darling, you will wind up barfing in a van. It'll be some guy we don't even know." She chuckled. Yeah she was feeling very woozy herself. The bartender handed him the drinks.
"Thank you kindly." Ty handed her the drink. His eyes were starting to go half-mast. "You know, Alex. You're pretty hot." Alex giggled softly.
"Am I really?" She asked sipping her drink. Ty swayed on his feet slightly.
"Fucking hot." He tilted back his head and drank to whole drink in two gulps. Alex shook her head. She would be dragging him home tonight.
"You hungry?" Alex asked him. Ty shook his head.
"I want to dance." He winked at her; "I want to rub my hands all over your body." Alex blushed slightly as she sipped her drink. "Come on, Baby. You know you want to." She chuckled.
"Fine." Alex took a gulp of her drink. That would be her last one. She was a little unsteady on her feet already, but she had to try to sober up. Ty was already too far into the hole. "Let's go."
"Shake your bon-bon." Ty grinned taking her hand. He took her out onto the dance floor again and started to dance. Alex chuckled slightly. He would fall over soon. Ty slid his hands over her stomach, "Mmmm, Hard."
"Me or you?" Alex chuckled. Ty slid his hand beneath her shirt as they dance.
"Mmmm Me." He slurred. Alex chuckled and swatted his hand away from her chest.
"You can't strip me in public." She said.
"Why not? We're married." Ty grunted. Alex laughed loudly.
"I know, but we're in public." She said.
"Public smublic." Ty nibbled at her neck, "Call me Casanova, Baby." Alex pushed Ty away gently.
"Sweetheart, we can't do it right here on the dance floor." She said. Ty looked at her oddly. "You're going to throw up, huh?" Ty nodded.
"God yes." He groaned. Alex grabbed his hand and pulled him off of the dance floor. Ty ran over to a chair and started to throw up on it. Alex shook her head.
"You need to learn how to pace yourself." Alex said. Ty grunted wiping off his mouth, "You okay?"
"Why do I mix?" He groaned.
"Because you're stupid." Alex chuckled, rubbing his back; "Do you want to go now?" Ty grunted and nodded.
"Yeah." He said. She smiled slipping her arm around his waist. Alex led her husband outside. He swayed and tripped with every step. "God, it's cold out."
"It's snowing." Alex commented. Ty looked up.
"Wow. Snow looks like flour." He said. Alex laughed at him, "Why are you laughing at me?"
"Because you're drunk." She said.
"Does that mean no sex?" He asked her. Alex arched her eyebrow.
"Will you fall asleep on me?" She asked him. Ty chuckled and shook his head.
"I've never fell asleep on you, Al." He laughed.
"Yes you have." She smiled. Ty frowned deeply. "Don't give me that look." Alex said as they walked down the snowy sidewalk.
"I don't give looks." He said. Alex shook her head. Ty was funny when he got completely drunk. Luckily he didn't do it often because when he did this, he was sick for a couple of days with a terrible hangover. Luckily, Liquor didn't affect Alex like that.
