"What do you mean kidnapped!" Ashleigh yelled into the phone. "Why would terrorist want to kidnap our children!"

"I'm not sure about Alice, but I know they kidnapped Alex because he is my soon………and they need one of my manufacturing plants. The man said that I have 2 days to give my answer……or else he will kill Alex……and his other 2 hostages."

"But who is the other person?" Ashleigh asked frantically.

"I'm not sure……..but for their family and our children, I will have to succumb to them and give them what they want." Quatre sighed.

"Please Quatre….don't let anything happen to them." She hung up the phone and fell to her knees crying.

"Mom? What's wrong?" Kyle ran up to his mother as he walked into the kitchen.

"Kyle………I want you to take care of your brother." Ashleigh told him quietly. "If you need anything…..please call either of your Uncles or Aunts."

"What's going on Mom?" He looked at her questioningly.

"Your sister has been kidnapped. I'm going out to find her. I can't bear to lose her like I did your father." She cried as she stood up.

"You won't lose her Mom!" Kyle clung to his mother. "You haven't lost Dad either. Uncle Quatre-"

"If he was still alive, he would try his hardest to come home." She said stiffly as she pried him off and walked to her room.

While there, she grabbed some clothing and threw them in a back along with a brush and her other toiletries. After her bag was packed, she walked to Mitcheal's room.

"Hunny, I want you to listen to your brother for me. I have some things I have to go do." She leaned down and hugged him tightly.

"Mom! You can't go!" Kyle ran up to her as she left Mitcheal's room.

"I have to Kyle. I dedicated my life to my children and that means all my children." She stated as she leaned down and hugged him. "Don't worry, I'll be alright Kyle. I promise."

"But what about the baby!" He cried. "How do you know that it will be okay!"

Ashleigh placed her hand on her stomach. "I know it will be okay." She smiled as best as she could and walked out the door.

Kyle ran after her and continued to try to stop here, but that didn't happen as she pulled out of the driveway and down the street. Kyle stood there crying for a moment before running in the house and grabbing the phone and dialing the first number that came to mind.

Ring Ring

"Yuy residence." Chasity answered.

"Aunt Chasity, please let me speak to Uncle Heero." Kyle cried.

"Kyle, what's wrong? Heero isn't here, he's at work."

Kyle explained everything that he knew to her as best as she could.

"Alright Kyle, I want you and Mitcheal to stay in the house until I get there. I'll call Heero and let him know. Alright hun?"

"Alright Aunt Chasity." Kyle sniffled.

"Alright, I'll be there as soon as I can." She stated as she hung up the phone and quickly turned it back on to call Heero.

"Preventers Headquarters, how may I help you?"

"I need to speak to Heero Yuy please. It's an emergency." Chasity said as calmly as she could.

"I'm sorry, but he's currently in a meeting with Lady Une."

"Please I'm begging you. It's concerning Ashleigh Maxwell."

"I'll see if he can take the call." The receptionist put her on hold and called Lady Une's office.

"What is it Melanie? I told you I'm in a meeting and can't be disturbed." Une said impatiently.

"I know ma'am, but there is a call for Mr. Yuy from his wife saying it an emergency regarding Ashleigh Maxwell."

Heero looked at Une as she nodded at him.

"Go ahead and forward the call."

Heero walked to Une's desk and picked up the receiver.

"What's wrong Chas?"

"It's Ashleigh. Kyle called me crying telling me that she had left to find Alice."

"I don't see what the problem is." Heero furrowed his brow.

"From what he told me, apparently she told him that Alice was kidnapped."

"Dear lord……that solves who one of the two are."

"What are you talking about Heero?"

"Alex was kidnapped as well and he is being held hostage with 2 other people and if Quatre doesn't give over one of his manufacturing plants, all 3 of them will die."

"Oh goodness……….Alright, keep me informed. I'm going over and getting Kyle and Mitcheal."

"Be careful." He stated as he heard a click as she hung up.

"What has happened?"

"Alice was kidnapped as well and Ashleigh has gone out to look for her by herself."

Knock Knock

"Who is it this time?" Une sighed as she went to open the door.

As she opened it, Ashleigh was standing there looking firm.

"Ashleigh! What is going on!" Heero demanded. "How could you leave your kids like that! And how could you plan on going to find your daughter in your current condition!"

"I look after all my children……………but I can't do it now….." She started to sway. "I need a hospital…….my……..my water broke….." She stated as she passed out. Une caught her and gently laid her on the ground.

"Quickly call the medical ward." Une stated as she laid Ashleigh on the ground.

Duo was abruptly woken from his sleep as he felt a pain in his heart. He sat there gripping his shirt above his heart while breathing heavily and sweating.

'Please be alright Ashleigh…….' He prayed in his head as he checked on Alice and Alex.

They were sleeping peacefully in the same position that they had fallen asleep in. Alice had soon fallen asleep in Alex's arms after Duo told her the past of her parents and relatives. It wasn't surprising to him that she had reacted that way. Besides, she had learned in school what they were supposedly like.

Duo wiped the sweat from his forehead as he once again rested his hand on his heart. It had hurt like this 3 other times……..the time when his children were born. He had begun to take it as an omen to tell him when Ashleigh was about to give birth.

'Lord, I beg you, let Ashleigh give birth safely……..I want to see her and my newest child in good health please.' He prayed as he gripped his shirt again.

"When is she supposed to be due?" Sally Po asked as she talked to Heero outside Ashleigh's room.

"Not for another month." He stated. "I have a feeling that it might have been induced due to finding out what happened to Alice. The baby was lucky enough to have survived when she found out what happened to Duo, but this time……" He trailed off.

"Her contractions are about 4 minutes apart but she isn't fully dilated. We might have to do a C-section."

"I understand. I'll be in there with her. It's the least I could do for my best friends." Heero nodded.

"Alright, but we have to get her to the hospital first." Sally walked to the phone and phoned the hospital.

This seemed like a good part to let off. Hope you all like it and I'll try to get more up asap.
