Isabelle had enjoyed the first two nights, but something in the pit of her stomach was warning her about something.
"You okay?", Dean asked, after catching her looking at her phone.
"Yeah, I just feel weird. I don't know how to explain it.", she said, finally looking at him.
"Someone would have called if something was wrong", he said.
"I know, just, ignore me. I think maybe because I left the kids I feel like something bad is going to happen", she said.
He nodded. She stood.
"So what do you want to do tonight?", she asked.
He could tell she was still on edge.
"What?", she asked.
"I have to tell you something. Its about Mia.", he said.
Her smile fell.
"What?", she asked.
He told her everything and how he promised her sister he wouldn't say anything so she could enjoy herself.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner? Forget what Mia asked you to do. I needed to know about this. She is my little sister", Isabelle shouted.
She removed her heels and started packing.
"Honeymoon over?", he asked.
"What do you think? Of course its over. Jason is dangerous, obviously. We need to go home and I need to make sure she is safe, along with our kids", Isabelle said.
"Izzy", Dean said.
She sighed and stood, hands on her hips.
"I get it, but did you at least enjoy yourself a little?", he asked.
She nodded.
"I did, baby thank you. Maybe when this situation with Jason is over, we can try this again. Right now, I just want to go home", she said.
He nodded.
"I'll get our tickets changed", he said.
"You okay?", Chad asked after she checked the top of the stairs again.
"Oh yeah. I just, I feel like we're being watched", she said.
He nodded and stood.
"If you want, I can go upstairs and check", he suggested.
"Please", she replied.
He kissed her before making his way up. He checked each room, knocking on Abel's door. Abel opened it.
"Just checking in. Your aunt wants me to double check", he explained.
"Haven't heard anything", Abel said.
Chad nodded. Leaving Abel's room, he went to check Malia and Austin's rooms. Checking each space someone could possibly fit to hide. When he got to Isabelle and Dean's room, the window was open. He walked over and looked around in the back. Nothing. He closed the window again.
Going back down.
"Everything is closed up, babe", he said.
She nodded. Hearing laughter, the front door opened to Trish and Catrina. Mia smiled.
"Had fun I see", Mia said.
"Yes and we both have dates", Trish gushed.
"With who?", Mia asked.
"Dwayne and Trish with your uncle Alberto", her mom said.
"Just don't sleep with them on the first date", Mia said.
Both women laughed softly. Chad stood and kissed Mia.
"I should go now, but I will see you tomorrow. Don't worry about Jason, he can't get to you", Chad said.
Mia nodded.
"Get home safe", she said.
"I'll call you when I get home", he said, touching her cheek gently.
She nodded. Watching him drive off with a cop car behind him. The second one stayed put.
Jason arrived back to his hotel room. He had gotten a room under a friend's name. He had found a way to sneak into the house without being seen. Learning which room belong to which kid and what room Mia was staying in with her mom.
He didn't like watching Chad make out with his girl on the couch as the movie played. He knew Mia still felt him because she kept looking back towards him. He had snuck out through the same window he snuck in. It was a climb to get to the window, but it was worth it to get his hands on her.
The next night, Isabelle and Dean arrived home. The kids were fast asleep.
"What happened to two weeks?", Trish asked as she arrived to pick up Catrina for their dates.
"The bigger question here, is why are you two dressed up to go out?", Dean asked.
"Well, if you must know, we have dates", Trish said to her son.
"Would this date be with a certain Latino man?", Dean asked.
"Maybe", Trish said.
"And you?", Isabelle asked her mom.
"Dwayne", Catrina said.
Isabelle nodded.
"Well have fun", Izzy said.
"Not too much", Dean added.
"So, now you two have to explain what you're doing home", Catrina said.
Isabelle sighed.
"I felt off and, like something bad was going to happen. Then Dean tells me what's going on with Mia. I didn't like the secret keeping, but I get why you all did it", Isabelle said.
She walked over to Mia.
"And you, you need to tell me these things. I needed to know what he was doing.", she said.
Mia nodded.
"I just didn't want you to worry", Mia said.
Austin started crying.
"Well, I should go get him. Moms, have fun and Mia, you should call Chad and go out. Take your mind off things", Isabelle said.
They all nodded. Isabelle made her way up. Mia looked at Dean.
"Mind giving me a ride to the store? He's working right now", Mia said.
Dean nodded.
"Let me go tell Iz", he said.
Their moms left on their dates. Dean walked in to see Isabelle holding Austin and kissing him.
"Hey, I'm taking Mia to Chad. I'll be back in a few minutes", he said.
Isabelle nodded.
"Pick up some food will you", she said.
He nodded. Getting back downstairs, he grabbed his keys and they walked out. He locked the door behind him, telling the cops keeping watch to stay put.
They agreed.
Once Austin was down once again, she checked on Malia, kissing her head before leaving her room. Going to hers, her window was open, she sighed and walked over to close it. She stopped when she could smell gasoline.
She went down to check her stove, but the smell wasn't coming from there. Going back over to the stairs, the smell was stronger. She grabbed her phone to call Dean, to let him know she was waking up the kids and taking them out. She didn't want to take her chances.
Getting upstairs, she woke up Abel.
"Hey babe, I got the food and I'm on my way", Dean said as he answered.
"I'm taking the kids to my grandma's house. I think theirs a gas leak", she replied, making her way to Malia's room.
Abel finished putting his shoes on when he smelled it too, then the smell of smoke hit his nose. He looked over to the hall and he could see something glowing. He ran to the stairs and they were on fire, along with the front door.
"Mom", he yelled.
He heard her behind him.
"Oh my god, Dean, the house is on fire", she said.
"What?", he said.
"Dean, what do we do? We can't get downstairs", she said.
His heart was racing and his thoughts were racing even faster. He couldn't think. This was his worst nightmare.
Roman and the guys were playing a game of cards. When their alarm blared. Hunter looked over the railing.
"Guys, its Ambrose's house. Move it", he shouted.
Roman, Spencer, and Seth's hearts almost dropped, but their feet moved quickly.
"How much you want to bet it was that son of a bitch", Spencer spat.
"I wouldn't put it past him", Roman replied.
Izzy had moved her kids to her room. Seeing the window, she opened it and looked down.
"Ab", she said.
He held his little brother.
"I'm going to need you to climb down", she said.
He started to shake his head no. She held it in place between her hands.
"I know you can do this, kid. You have to help me", she said.
They heard a crack and jumped. The fire was moving fast. She looked at him again.
"Ab, please", she said.
He took a deep breath and nodded.
"I'm going to tie these sheets together, it should get you a few feet down so the drop won't be so bad", she said.
He knew what Dean would say.
I trust you Abel. You are brave and strong. You can do this.
"I'll be right back", his mom said.
He held onto his little sister's hand. She was crying and holding her stuffed puppy. His mom came back with the harness they used to hold Austin to their chest hands free. His mom put it on him and then placed Austin. The flames were closer to the door now. She tied the sheets as best she could and she hoped they didn't come undone on the way down.
She could hear the cops screaming for her.
"The back, go to the back", she yelled.
She hoped they heard her. When Abel got outside of the window, she handed him the sheets. She saw TJ at the bottom.
"Come down slowly Abel", he shouted up at him.
Abel nodded. Isabelle watched as TJ and his partner reached up and took a hold of Abel.
TJ's partner checked on Abel and Austin. Isabelle pulled the blanket back up. She was going to tie it around Malia and have her hold on and slowly take her down.
"Mommy", Malia said.
Isabelle turned to pick her up, but was punched hard. She fell back. When she tried to open her eyes, everything was spinning. She felt Malia place her hand on her side.
"Isabelle", she heard TJ shout.
