Chapter 13
Lily had just fed the twins' lunch and she and Kyle were sitting down to their lunch when they heard the doorbell ring. Kyle went to the door and opened it
"Can I help you?"
"Yes, is Lily here?"
"She doesn't want to see you"
"I just want to talk and see my little granddaughters"
"I'm sorry I can't let you in"
"Come on just quickly"
"No"
"Kyle, baby who is it?" called Lily as she walked out from the kitchen, when she saw her father she gasped and walked backwards into the kitchen
"She doesn't want to see you, if you don't leave now I will have to call the police" said Kyle
"All right, I'm gone" he said leaving. Kyle walked into the kitchen and sat next to a very scared Lily
"Maybe you should tell me about it" he said wrapping an arm around her
"You know how I said that basically everyone in my family is a twin and I am an only child?"
"Yes"
"I wasn't always an only child, I had a twin sister. My dad was always drunk and he beat mum, my sister and I up all the time if we did anything wrong, mum could never have any more children because of the beatings she received. One day he was particularly bad and mum was out, she came home to find him completely out of it on the couch and my sister dead on the floor with multiple bruises. He beat her to death, I was out too but I just had concussion, mum grabbed me and raced to the hospital. He was put in jail and he has never been able to see us, he never tried until now so we felt no need for a restraining order." By this time Lily was in tears sobbing into Kyle's shoulder as he rubbed her back
"It's Ok baby," he said kissing the top of her head. "Let's have some lunch and if he shows up again we'll talk about doing something" They ate their lunch and Lily went off to have a rest. The next day they woke up and realised they didn't have to wake up and feed the twins last night. They were very young and there was no chance they slept through the night. Kyle and Lily ran into the nursery to find the window had a neatly cut hole in it as well as being open and the twins were gone. Lily began to panic and Kyle ran to get a phone and called the police.
"Now tell me once more what happened" The police officer asked, they were sitting on the couches in the lounge room, Lily was crying and Kyle was comforting her,
"We had just woken up to find the nursery as it is now, we left it so you could look and that is all, but we know it was professional because of the cut in the glass that is all we can tell" Kyle said
"Do you have any idea on who could have done it?"
"My dad" said Lily through sobs
"Why do you think that?"
"He has been bugging us to talk to Lily and spend some time with the kids for a few days"
"Thank you, I know it is hard just one more question, can you give us a description of what they were wearing and their age, what they look like etc."
"Melinda was wearing a white night time suit and Melissa was wearing a pink one, they both have blue eyes and blonde hair and they are only a few weeks old," said Kyle rubbing Lily's back as she sobbed into his shoulder
"Thank you" The officer left them on a couch and went to talk to the rest of the police Lily was beginning to calm down and started to talk which would work her up again
"They're so young what if…" Kyle put a finger over her mouth
"Don't worry the police will figure it out and we will have out girls back very soon" he said and kissed her forehead. He helped her up and they went into the kitchen and had some lunch they hadn't eaten all day and they were both very hungry just before the police had all left the phone rang
"Hello?" said Lily
"Lilly baby"
"Where are the twins?" at this an officer turned around and walked back inside
"How should I know?"
"Who else would do this except you"
"So, I've got them, I took some bottles from the fridge, I know what to do, they are safe, just listen to me"
"I want them back before I do anything"
"They are safe, just hear me out"
"All right"
"I'm clean Lily I want to be a part of your life and the twins"
"Not a chance as soon as I get the twins back I am getting a restraining order on you" she said
"Then you will never get them back" Little did he know the police officer was connecting his computer to the phone to track his call
"Dad, please, they are my children"
"Then give me another chance"
"After what you did to Amelia, how can I ever trust you again?"
"Just try" The policeman got a lock
"Give me back the twins willingly and I won't involve the police"
"Trust me"
"No" she said hanging up, they all got into cars and they sped off to where the call was tracked.
