Hunter

I was sitting on the big brown leather couch with my husband in my arms. We were watching a movie as a family the four of us. It was times like this that I wished that our oldest daughter was home with us. Both Shawn and I missed having her at home with us we were always so close to her. But she was like every teenager and pushed us to our breaking points. The hardest was when she left home at eighteen with her boyfriend. Shawn and I tried to get her stay but that only lead to the fight that has kept us apart for that last six years. She told us that we didn't understand her that she loved him and wanted to follow him. And she would do so no matter what we had said or did. All she wanted was to live her life like an adult that she was. Then the last thing I know was I made the mistake in saying that she was too young to know what love was. And she throw it back in our faces that at least she didn't get pregnant at seventeen. I saw the horrible look in my husband's face and knew that it hurt that she throw that in our face. Sure she wasn't planned but we gave our lives to one another and to her. We loved and did everything for her to make sure she was loved and happy. I watched as Shawn lowered his head and walked out of the room with unshed tears threaten to fall. I knew that he always felt somewhat guilty for getting me pregnant so young but neither of us would change a thing. I then turned to our daughter and saw the look she had as if she knew what she did. When I asked her why she did it all she could say is that we couldn't trust her to make her own decisions like our parents let me and Shawn make our own. And with that she walked out the door and out of our lives. We sent her a Christmas card and Birthday card every year letting her know what has happened. And she would send one on our birthdays and our anniversary. And she always sent cards to her sister and brother. But we both missed her here around the house and in our lives. There had been so many times that we were close to jumping on a plane and heading to New York to find and see her. But there had been one person we could count on no matter what and that was our friend who was an Uncle to all our kids as we were to his. Mark was our life line in everything that was our daughter we know that he keeps her updated on us as he kept us updated on her. He talked to her once a week and tried to get her to come home but it works both ways. The ringing of the phone startled both my husband and the kids as I watched as Zack got up and picked up the phone.

"Hello." Zack said as he walked over to us and handed me the phone.

"Hello." I said

"Hey Hunt…I need you stay claim but I am heading to New York and I am swinging by to pick you up." Mark said

"Oh god Mark what happened?" I asked

"I was on the phone with Laura…um I don't know what happened but there was a kid named Steven and he showed up at her apartment and I heard a gunshot and then I heard her calling out for daddies. I called and booked a flight for you and I, I know Shawn can't fly I'll be there in ten." Mark said

"Ok see you then." I said as I looked to the panic look in my husband's eyes.

"Babe what's wrong?" Shawn asked

"Um Chloe, Zack go get ready for bed and daddy will tuck you in. Come give me a kiss and a hug I have to go with Uncle Mark to take care of something. I love you two." I said as I hugged both my children.

"Love you too daddy." Chloe said

"I love you too dad." Zack said as they ran up the steps. I turned to my husband and held him tightly. I kissed his temple while rubbing his back I knew that this was going to be hard on him not being able to fly.

"Mark was talking to Laura when some kid showed up at her apartment and he shot her. Mark said the last thing he heard was her calling out for us. He called and got us a flight but baby you can't fly so he and I are going. Please take care of you and this baby and the twins. While I check on our daughter." I said as his tears started to fall. I held him tightly as I cried as well we never dreamt that this would happen.

"Ok, but please take care and bring our baby home." Shawn said as I kissed his lips softly. "I love you Hunter so much."

"I love you too with all my heart." I said as I heard the horn of Marks's truck. I walked to the hall closet and picked up my bag that I kept packed for emergencies. Ever since Laura left for New York both Shawn and I kept a bag packed. I took one last look at my husband and I left to find out how our daughter was. I hopped in Mark's truck and we were off to the airport.

"Mark how was she before…" I stopped I couldn't even say what happened all I could think about was my baby and what she was going through alone.

"Michelle and I talked about seeing if she would come to Thanksgiving she agreed only if she could cook. Michelle and I were going to invite you and make it a long overdue reunion. She was telling me how she was thinking about coming home but wasn't sure if she would be welcome in your home after everything and how it was left…" Mark said as I cut him off.

"She will always be welcome it's her home as well god… Mark where did we go wrong?" I asked

"You didn't you did everything that any parent would have done look at what your parents did to you and Shawn. Hell if it was Mason or Ryder I would have done the same thing. It doesn't help that you and Shawn have stubborn streaks a mile wide and your daughter inherited it as well." Mark said

"Mark what if she's not ok what if something is wrong? What if I lose my baby girl? How will I tell my kids hell how will I tell Shawn?" I said

"You won't have to tell him or the kids anything she will be fine. I know it she's strong and as we said STUBBORN. She's going to be fine." Mark said as we finally pulled up to the airport and we headed in and made our way to the gate. There we made our way to the plane that was going to take me to my daughter. Once we were in our seat all I could think about is holding my little girl. I remembered the day that I found out that I was pregnant with her. I thought I had the flu and I was sick for weeks when my parents made me go to the doctors. Shawn and I had been together for three months and it happened when we were trying to figure out what we liked better him top or me on top. I ended up three months pregnant and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. The day we got married was one of the best of our lives hearing him announced as my husband was amazing but holding our daughter was one of the greatest gifts that Shawn had given me.
