chapter. Next one will be even more of insane Ethan. Enjoy and review. I
love reviews.
After ten long hours of labor, Gwen finally gave birth to a healthy baby girl, named Sara Loraine Hotchkiss. Born 7lbs, 8oz. Gwen lay in bed exhausted when Fox and Theresa knocked on her door.
"Hey guys. Did you see Sara?" she asked excitedly.
"Yeah we saw her about an hour ago. We went to see Dr. Culver about whether we will be able to have more children. She's really beautiful Gwen." Theresa started to cry. As Fox started to wrap his arms around her, she pushed him away. "I'm fine. Just a little emotional. She really is beautiful. I hope you know that she is going to spoiled. She is my niece after all. I have to spoil someone."
"T, you can spoil her all you want. So what did Dr. Culver say?"
"Well, he said that Nicholas and I should wait at least six months to let my body heal before we start trying again. But he does not see any reasons to why we can't have children in the future. My body just needs to rest."
"Oh T, that's great." As Theresa and Fox talked with Gwen, about twenty minutes later, Sam walked in with a solemn look on his face. "Hey Sam. What are you doing here? Oh did you see your granddaughter?"
"I saw Sara right after she was born and she is beautiful. But I am here to investigate a kidnapping. A nurse was supposed to bring a newborn to her mother about forty minutes ago. The other nurse just found the bassinet empty down by the exit."
"Oh god. How could someone steal someone else's baby?" Gwen questioned. "Have you told the baby's mother yet?"
"I just did. Gwen, I'm sorry. But it was Sara that was taken."
"No, my daughter is safe, sleeping in the nursery. Theresa and Fox just saw her an hour ago. I don't believe you." Gwen screamed as she threw back the blankets and sprinted out of her room, to the nursery. Looking at all the babies, she crumbled to her knee when she saw the bassinet with Hotchkiss, Sara written on it empty. "Who would do this? My daughter. Sam, who did this?"
"It was Ethan. We don't know how but he managed to get inside and kidnapped Sara. We will find her. I promise." Theresa was comforting Gwen when Fox helped her into the wheelchair to take her back to her room.
"Gwen, I'm gonna go get some water for you. I'll be right back. Fox will take you back to your room." After Sam and Fox rounded the corner into Gwen's room, Theresa turned towards the cafeteria. Halfway there, she felt someone grab her arm from behind and steer her towards the exit. "Hey, what do you think you are doing? Let go of me." Turning around Theresa came face to face with the one person she hoped that she would never see again. "Ethan. Get away from me. Haven't you done enough? Where is Sara?"
"Our daughter is fine. I don't want to hurt you but I will if I have too. Now walk."
"Let go of me. And what do you mean our daughter? Sara is Gwen's daughter."
"No don't you remember? Sara is our daughter. And our daughter needs her mother. You can either walk or I can carry you."
"Let go of me. Ethan you are a psycho. I am not going anywhere with you."
"Fine. We'll do it the hard way." As Ethan held Theresa's left arm, she felt a sharp pinch and when she looked down she saw a clear liquid being injected into her arm. Looking back up at Ethan, Theresa started swaying on her feet. Ethan was getting blurrier by the minute. "What ... what did you do to me?"
"Luckily while I was in college, I couldn't decide whether a doctor or a lawyer. And I still remember a little from that one year I studied medicine. It's just something to make you sleep. You're coming with me and there is nothing that you can do about. You, me and Sara are going to be a family. Just like we were always meant to be. Forever." Scooping an unconscious Theresa into his arms, Ethan started for the door. "Fox will never take you away from me. You will always be mine." Carrying her out the door, he went unnoticed by everyone except Christina Jones.
*Oh my god. I have to tell Mr. Crane.* Running to Gwen's room, Christina entered just as Fox was voicing her concern for Theresa's whereabouts.
"Mr. Crane, does your wife have longish brownish black hair? Was she wearing a purple peasant top with black pants and black heels?"
"Yes. Why have you seen her?"
"Yes. The man who was arrested yesterday was carrying her outside."
"WHAT!?!? WHERE? WHEN?" Fox bellowed. Fox ran out of the room after the nurse. When they reached the exit, all Fox found was one of Theresa's small black shoes. *Resa, I'll find you and Sara. Ethan will not hurt you ever again. I can't loose you. You're my life. And without you, there's nothing worth living for. I'll find you. Just keep hope. I'll find you soon.* Pulling out his cell, he called his father. "Dad, we have a problem. Yeah, Dad, I know about Sara. No, it's a different problem. Ethan took Resa too."
