Green awoke to the feeling of being watched. She quickly opened her eyes to find Jamieson staring down at her with a smile on her face.
Green smiled back and then began to stretch out as she found muscles and body parts that ached, due to sleeping on the couch.
"What time is it?" Green asked groggily.
"6:30" Jamieson said with an even larger smile.
Greens face turned into a shocked face. Soon it was replaced with anger.
"WHAT!" she yelled out, angered by being woken up before nine in the morning.
"Well....the babies are going to be waking up soon and I thought that it would be a GOOD thing.......if they got fed." Jamieson stated with raised eyebrows and a smirk.
Green's looked up in understanding....then a very troubling thought came to her.
She had placed the babies to sleep around seven thirty.......and they were just now about to wake up and be fed.
She quickly looked up to Jamieson.
"There ABOUT to wake up?" she asked almost scared.
Jamieson looked at her with a 'ah...yeah' face.
"Yeah why?"
Green shot up and ran out of the room, across the hall, up the stairs and into the children's nursery in less than thirty seconds.
She stopped at the doorway breath harshly. The room was completely quiet. She was afraid something had happened......Afraid that they had been taken......Afraid that they were dead. It wasn't normal for two babies to sleep the entire night without so much as a peep out of them.
She slowly approached the crib. She was frightened to even look inside the crib.
As she approached, she saw that Zarek and Zander were both breathing and sleeping.
Green let out the breath that she had been holding. She reached out to the side of the crib to keep herself from melting down to the ground from relief.
She looked down at there little faces.
She smiled.
As Jamieson had said the babies began to wake up.
As they began to cry Jamieson went about to feed them both.
As she went to check on the rest of the clan at the untimely hour.....she discovered all of their beds empty.
The fear of someone taking them came to her in full force. She panicked right away and began screaming for the children.
She ran through the second floor and the third, screaming for the children.
Suddenly Bobby came out of his Bedroom with boxers and a grey shirt on, as he grabbed her.
"Whoa, Whoa....what's going on?" He asked trying to get her to slow down.
"I can't find the children. There not in the house. What if the Centre took them? What if they took them during the night like they did Jarod? What if...." Green babbled on.
"Hey! HEY! If the Centre had taken them then we would be dead!!! So I pretty much know that they weren't taken!" Bobby began, holding his sister by the shoulders.
Green began to breathe normally again as she calmed at the logic that Bobby was giving her.
"Now...." Bobby began, "are you sure they didn't leave you a note somewhere? Maybe in the kitchen?" Bobby asked Green.
Green shook her head.
"I didn't check the kitchen....or for a note."
Bobby tilted his head and nodded.
"Well there you go." Bobby said.
"Hey what's going on?" The Major asked as he came out of his room with his wife.
"Is something to matter?" Sydney asked as he came out of his room.
"What's going on?" asked Kyle as he came out of his room in a yawn.
"I can't find the kids." Green said in a choked voice as a tear ran down her face, and she pulled her head back from the top of her head, as she looked to the side to not show everyone her emotions.
Bobby caressed her shoulders and then grabbed her face and made her look at him.
"Hey.....its O..K. They're probably just outside having fun. Look...I'll come down with you." Bobby said as he let go of her face and turned her to go down the stairs.
As they finally reached the bottom and crossed to the kitchen, Green let out a loud shuddering breath.
Bobby pushed the door open and Green walked in.
As she saw the big white note on the dark granite counter...... she let out a deep sigh of relief.
As she walked outside with the note, to the forest, she could hear the laughing and clattering of her children.
A wave of joy passed over her as she heard the noise.
She then began to walk into the forest.
Five minutes later she came upon them.
To her shock............they were building a tree house......a very big tree house. It seemed to span over 10 big trees.
The second she saw the tree house two thoughts popped into her head.
One.........How could they have almost completed the construction of the tree house?
Two........It was very high off the ground.....and her babies were up there!
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING????!!!" Green yelled out.
The shrill of her voice caused the children to freeze paralyzed, some of the children sucking in deep breaths at the discovery of being caught.
"Busted!" Quintin muttered to the others.
Slowly the children all turned their eyes down to where their mother stood....with wild eyes and hands on her hips.
"Ehhhh....no ablo englese?!" Ulric smarted off.
Green just got even more ticked off.
With barely contained anger she called to them.
"Get down here.......RIGHTNOW!!!!" she screamed out.
The children scrunched the eyes as they winced out the sound of her yelling. They then turned to each other and gave each other the 'oh shit!' face. They slowly descended the rope ladder.
Green paced up and down in front of the line her children had formed in front of the villa.
All of the children had cast their heads down in a defeated way.
The children braced themselves for the loud yelling they were sure to come ahead.
Green turned and faced the children with a smile on her face.
With this action the children grew scared.
"Who's idea was this?" Green asked sweetly.
The children looked up at her.
She tilted her head slightly.
"Well?"
The children then glanced at each other swiftly and quickly lowered their heads.
Green knew what that meant. The quick exchange was the 'no one squeal look'.
As she began to pace again she noticed Francine's eyes fidgeting and quickly shifting her eyes from the ground to her, and then quickly glancing back to the ground.
Green quickly turned her head forward. She smiled.
She found her informer.
As she turned back to begin to pace in front of the children again, Green stopped right in front of Francine. Francine's eyes widened as she kept her eyes on the ground. The other's eyes widened also and began to fidget.
Green placed her hand on Francine's shoulder slowly sliding it up to her face to hold her chin and raise Francine's gaze to her own.
The wide brown eyes conveyed horror.
Green smiled.
"I think you want to tell me something." Green said to Francine.
"No..no I don't." Francine stuttered out.
"Tell her Francine." Jamieson said with a smirk on her face, as she leaned on the door jam of the front door.
Green turned around to verify Jamieson was there.
"I...I don't know." Francine stuttered out looking innocent.
Jamieson's smirk vanished. She began to walk down right in front of Francine.
"Who?" Jamieson asked.
Francine lowered her head.
Jamieson placed the bottom of her fingers under Francine's chin and lifted her line of sight to her own.
"Whhhooo?" Jamieson asked sweetly with a smirk on her face.
"I don't know!" Francine exclaimed frustrated.
Jamieson closed her eyes and nodded.
"I see." Jamieson said.
The other children sighed out in relief.
Suddenly Jamieson reached out and began to tickle Francine to the ground.
"Whhhoo?" Jamieson asked as Francine couldn't contain from laughing hysterically as Jamieson assaulted her.
"I..HEHHEEEHEHE...I CAN'T!!!" She yelled out.
"Oh yes you can!!!" Jamieson exclaimed as she continued to tickle Francine.
Then with barely a breath Francine managed to spill her guts.
"Aries..." she whispered out through her laughter.
Jamieson stopped her assault and smiled.
"Aries."
