Well, I am trying to make you hate Sean, but even I feel kinda sorry for him. Although he needs to give Raine back, will I make him? Will I make it be ten years when they see her next? Will they ever see her again? Why am I doing this? I am writing the chapter now...

P.S. Thank you WinterSapphire, for helping me get this chapter up.


Troy was standing, his hands on his knees, breathing heavily, when his phone rang. His dad was now allowing him to keep the cell with him since Raine's attack, so Gabriella could call him if it happened again. He immedatly jumped to attention, thinking that something had happened to Raine, he threw the Basketball to Chad and ran over to the bench he had left it on. Picking it up, he opened it an pressed the green button.

"Hello?"

"T-troy?" It was Gabriella.

"Gabriella, what's wrong?" He was instantly concerned. A few of the players, including Chad, stopped and watched what he was doing. "Are you OK? Is it the twins?"

"R-raine, s-she's g-g-gone." Gabriella was stuttering so badly that it was hard for Troy to understand her.

"What do you mean 'gone'?" Now everyone was looking at him, anxious. Even Mr. Bolton had stopped to see what was wrong.

"I-I t-think she w-was k-kidn-napped." Troy nearly dropped the phone. He couldn't speak. He was in shock. His daughter had been kidnapped? He started pulling on his shoes, trying to concel tears.

"I'll be right there Gabriella." They said a quick good-bye and Troy finished pulling on his shoes. He knew where Gabriella was at, so he didn't need to ask. Shoving his cell phone in his pocket, he started running from the room. Mr. Bolten stopped him before he could leave completly.

"Troy, what is it? Is Raine having another attack?" He was clearly concerned. He had been acting like a proper grandfather for a while now, and Troy didn't quite know what had caused his change of heart.

"No. Raine's missing." And with that, he continued running, not even bothering to change from his basketball clothes. They had to find her, she couldn't be gone. But as he exited the school, he knew that no more than three percent of missing children were ever found again. As he was starting his car, he saw his dad run from the school, out of breath.

"Troy! Wait!" Troy started the car, but didn't drive out of the parking lot. His father was at the car side within seconds. "I'm coning with you." Troy didn't feel like putting up a fight, so he just let his dad climb into the car and started off. The park was only ten minutes away, but somehow, Troy managed to get there within five. He pulled the car into a parking sopt and jumped out, running over to where he saw Gabriella. She was talking with a policeman. He stopped by her side. When she saw him, she threw herself into his arms, crying. Troy couldn't hold back any longer, he started crying as well. Gabriella was clutching Rocket to her tightly, which was making the embrace awkard, but neither of them cared. The policeman cleared his throat, causing them to pull apart.

"Ma'am, I have a few more questions to ask, if you feel up to it." Gabriella nodded. "OK, do you have a picture?" Troy and Gabriella both reached for their wallets, but Troy was faster, for he was not holing Rocket. Taking the picture he always carried out, he handed it to the policeman. It was of the twins and Gabriella, Gabriella's was of him and the twins.

"That's her." He pointed to Raine, who was only a little younger in the picture than she was now.

"Does she have any distungshing marks?"

"N-no...well, y-yes." Gabriella answered. "She cut her head last week. A small scare right aboce her eye-brow." The policeman nodded and wrote something down in his notebook.

"Did you see the person who took her?"

"There w-was someong h-hanging around u-us all d-day, but I didn't t-think much of i-it." Gabriella whipped at her tears. "He h-had blond h-hair and was t-tall. I couldn't s-see his e-eye's or anything. I w-wasn't paying attention to h-him." He nodded again, still writing in the notebook.

"Do you know anyone who might want to hurt your child, or someone who might do something like this?" They both shook their heads, not noticing Mr. Bolton was standing right behind them. Mercefully, Rocket had decided that he was going to be quiet, and let them answer all of the mans questions. "Thank you. We will call you with anything we find as soon as we find it. We will also put out a missing report as soon as possible. I am sorry for your loss, and we hope we can help." It sounded to Troy like the man had memorized this, and was not speaking out of general concern. When he left, Gabriells turned her attention back to Troy.

"I-I'm sorry, T-troy."

"Why? This isn't your fault."

"I l-left her a-alone." She was crying uncontrolably again, Troy just stood there, rubbing her back. She had left Raine alone? Why? Normally, she was very protective, and wouldn't leave the twins alone for more than a second. He was sad, worried, and mad all at the same time. Worried for Raine, mad at Gabriella, however little, and sad that this had happened. Troy rested his head on Gabriella's shoulder, knowing that, if they did ever get Raine back, he wasn't leaving her side for anything.


Sean groaned as he looked into the backseat. The little girl was crying loudly, and wouldn't stop. He was starting to get a headache, and he still had four hours to go. Reaching back, he started rubbing her leg. She continued to cry loudly. Nothing he was doing was working. He couldn't wait until they got home. He had everything set up, well, not really, but he had a place for her to stay. He would finish setting up the crib when he got there. In the meantime, he needed painkiller, and to change the little girl out of the outfit she was wearing. Pulling up to a gas station, he reached into the back seat and took the little girl out, pulling off her overalls, leaving her only in a diaper. Wrapping her in a blue blanket, he walked inside. She had so little hair, although a lot for sucha young baby, she could pass for a boy. He was going to call her 'Jack' for the time being.

"Hello, can I help you?" The desk clerk asked. Sean was extremly nervous.

"Um, yea. I need some Asprin and a pacifier." The desk clerk nodded and showed him where the items were at, then Sean paid in a hurry and walked out of the store. Putting the pacirier into Raine's mouth, he placed her back into the carseat. She sucked on it for a moment, before spitting it right back out and continued her loud crying. Taking several of the Asprin pills, Sean started up the car again and drove off, wanting to be back home in his nice, cozy bed.


Troy was now sitting in the apartment he and Gabriella were renting. They were planning on getting married soon, and decided that they needed a place of their own. They had started painting the baby's rooms, Raine's was pink and purple while Rocket's was blue and green. They were nearly finished. It was a thee room apartment, and they were giving each of the twins their own room. Gabriella was sitting in the room next to Troy, which was Raine's room. She was holding her purple, flowered blanket clutched tightly to her chest, crying. Troy was numb. He wanted to be mad at Gabriella, but he just couldn't. He knew he should, for she had left their baby alone, for however breif a time, but he couldn't. And he didn't know why. He stood up and walked into Raine's room, Wrapping Gabriella in a hug. She colappsed into his arms, shaking with sobs. Neither one of them spoke.

This went on for several days. Troy and Gabriella hads stopped going to school. Their friends would stop by and visit them sometimes, but besides that, they wanted to be alone. There was no good news from the police, and Troy was starting to worry that the person who had done this was gone. Gone and would never be found. He did not openly show his emotions, for he knew he had to be strong for Gabriella.

One day, he broke down and allowed himself to be mad at Gabriella. They were sitting at the kitchen table, Rocket was sleeping.

"Why did you leave her alone?" Troy asked, wanting to know.

"I was trying to catch something. I was keeping an eye on her, I don't know how he got to her. Troy, I swear I was!"

"Why did you leave her alone?" Troy said again, tears forming in his eye's."Why didn't you take her with you?" Gabriella just shook her head, tears slipping down her face as well. She was sobbing loudly now, just wanting everything to go back to how it was. Troy stood up from the table, grabbing the keys to the car and walking out of the kitchen. Gabriella didn't even bother to ask where he was going, for she knew that he was going to the park. Wanting to be close to the last place they had seen his baby. The fight grew steadily worse. Sometimes they would scream, other times they would just quietly argue. Rocket was extremly cranky to top it all off. Troy and Gabriella drifted further and further apart.

One day, five months later, the call came that gave them all hope, yet filled them with fear at the same time.


(I know, I am evil, but I am not showing that yet.) Four Months Ago/Raine has been gone for one month

Sean pulled a shirt over his head and walked out into the living room, toweling his hair dry from his shower. He stopped in mid-step when he saw Katie (That is what he named Raine) holding herself up on the play-pen he had left her in. He hadn't bothered to raise the sides, thinking she couldn't get out. She was only five months old, for goodness sake! But, nonetheless, she was out, and standing skakily on her little feet. She was wearing wearing a sleeper. It was bright purple, and had footies.She turned and saw him, smiling to show her first two teeth. Taking her hands off of the crib, Katie let go and attempted to walk. She got three steps before falling to the ground. Sean smiled widly and ran over, sweeping her into his arms and kissing her on the forehead.

"You did it! You walked!" She smiled again, reaching out to play with one of the buttons on his shirt. Sticking it into her mouth and sucking on it. "You hungry? OK, I'll get something." He walked into the kitchen and placed her into her high-chair, where she clapped her hands and hit them on the tray. Sean took a jar of gerber baby food from the shelf and opened it, walking back over sitting down to feed Katie. It took three tries to get rid of one spoonful, for she spit half of it back out each time and he had to scrape it off of her face.

After breakfast, he took her out of the highchair and placed her back into her playpen, sure to raise the sides this time, and went off to finish some of his paperwork. He had quite his teaching job, and got a desk job so he could take care of Katie. She fell asleep soon, and her quiet snoring filled the room. Deciding that he needed to go down to the store, Sean pulled on his jacket and locked the house up tightly. He had to leave Katie, for it had not been long enough, and he needed to make sure she was not found.

He drove quickly to the seven-eleven down the street and picked up a few things, including more diapers. He needed them. As he slowly walked back to the house, he started thinking. What happened to the woman he took Katie from? As far as he knew, nothing. She would get over it...wouldn't she? Maybe he should give her back. He knew how he felt when he lost his child, surely he didn't want to put anyone else through that. But he couldn't, he loved Katie, and he would be sent to jail if anyone knew. No, he was keeping her. He would raise her as Katie-Ann Whitman. And she would always be his daughter.

He reached the aparment again, and was relived to see that Katie was still sleeping. He walked into the kitchen and threw together something for him to eat before turning on the T.V. and settling himself in fromt of it. The news came on, and he saw a familiar face. It was of the young woman. She was standing with the father of the baby. He was hugging her, both of them were crying. The reporter had cornered them and was trying to get anything out of them she could. She didn't seem to care that she was causing them to relive the moment Raine had gone missing. Sean grabbed the remote and quickly turned the channel to sports. He couldn't watch that, he just couldn't.

Suddenly, the phone rang. He sighed and walked over to it. Who would be calling him? The only person that knew his number was his boss.

"Hello?" He said into the reciever. However, it was not his boss.

"Hey, it's me." Sean's face immedatly addopted a frown.

"Maddie." He said, "What do you want?"

"I want to talk. To say I'm sorry, to ask if we could start over."

"No." Sean said firmly. "I have a life now. I am not coming back. How the hell did you get this number?" He knew he was not going to be able to control his anger much longer.

"I just did. Please, Sean, I love you, I just couldn't have a baby in my life right now."

"You do know that right now, if you hadn't killed it, we would be able to know weither it was a boy or a girl?" Sean said. He had known, hoped, it would be a girl. He had a little girl now, and there was no way he was going back to Maddie. She had broken his heart many, many times. Never again.

"I'm sorry, Sean, I really am."

"Good-bye." He hung up th phone and looked behind him to find Katie staring at him, holding herself up on the edges of her crid, yawning with tiredness. Sean entertained himself the rest of the day by playing with his daughter.
