One Love to Give ~ Season Three ~ Episode Four

Written by Melissa

Todd arrived at Vicki's cabin, this was the perfect place to hide out with his child. The first snowstorm would be here soon and the access roads were scheduled to be closed for the winter in just a week. Once that happened nobody would be allowed near him or his child and they would be safe until Spring.

She needed a name, but there was only one that he could think of. Honestly her name, everything about her, was all he could ever think about. "Marty," he whispered as he pulled the little girl out of the car seat.

"Shit," he swore under his breath as he placed the child back down, this wasn't his baby. She didn't have the birth mark on her right leg, she was missing the blond curls like her mother's. This child's hair was brown and straight, but where did she come from and where did his child go? The store, the switch had to have happened at the store.

"Come on little one, I've got to get you back to that supply store," Todd said as he grabbed the baby and headed back out into the night.

XOXOXO

"Where are you going? Don't leave me alone with these brats?" Lindsey pleaded as Zach began to leave the cave.

"We need supplies, Margaret will be back soon to help with the kids, and I'll probably be back before they wake up anyways," Zach stated and then ran as far away as he could before Lindsey could say anything else.

Truth was, he wasn't sure if he would ever be back. The sex with crazy Margaret and Lindsey was fantastic, and honestly he wanted his revenge on Todd and Marty, but at what price? Margaret was growing more and more insane by the day, she actually believed that she could be that baby Bear's mother and she expected him to be the father. Then they had kidnapped Sam and Melinda, their little cave was now filled with little ones. Sam and Melinda weren't like the baby bear, they were scary, they knew things, they could listen and they had. They knew so many secrets that Zach didn't want exposed, but could he really kill two kids to keep them permanently silent. What was he going to do?

XOXOXO

Victor was pushing Marty out of the hospital in a wheelchair so that they could find Todd and the baby when his cell phone rang. "Hello?" he said with annoyance as he was trying to hurry in his quest to rescue Marty's baby girl.

"Victor, this is urgent," said Blair. "I need you and Marty to meet me at the docks tonight at midnight."

"WHAT?!" he hissed. "Blair, I don't have time for games. What's this about?"

"It's about Sam. It's about our son. That's what it's about. You haven't forgotten you have a son, have you?" Blair said angrily.

"Well, of course I haven't but..."

"Meet me at the docks at midnight and bring Marty. It's a matter of life and death," Blair said before she ended the call.

Victor was dumbfounded by the call as he helped Marty out of the wheelchair and into his truck. "What was that about?" Marty asked him, referring to the call.

"Don't let it worry you," Victor said as he helped Marty get comfortable in the passenger seat. "Let's just concentrate on finding Todd. We'll figure everything else out later."

"I think I know where Todd took our child," Marty stated as she was seated in Victor's truck.

"Where?" He asked.

"Vicki's cabin, it's where he took Starr when he abducted her and everyone thought he was dead," Marty explained.

"You're right, it's just the place where he would take her. The roads will be closing soon for the winter, I'm sure that he thinks that he'll have the perfect place of solace," Victor stated.

"Hurry, we need to get there. I need my baby," Marty said. She was burning up and she knew that she was getting a fever, but she couldn't say anything because then Victor would make sure that she stayed at the hospital.

XOXOXO

"Damnit," Irene swore as she got out of the car.

"I can't believe that I got a flat tire out here in the woods. I'm supposed to be escaping with Todd and Marty's newborn baby," she vented out loud as she bent over to examine the damage to the tire.

She felt somebody's presence and was just about to turn around to see if they could help when she felt the blade of the knife pierce into her side. She started to cough up blood and knew that she had been dealt a fatal blow.

"You," she accused as she saw the face of her attacker and then everything went black.
