--Nine--

The next morning, Carly woke up around eight am. She kissed Reid on his shoulder blade, then got dressed. She went into the kids room and only saw Tyler asleep on the little couch and Jacob asleep in the bed, but no Lily.

She was frantic, she went into every room trying to find Lily but she was no where to be seen.

"Lily!" she yelled thru out the whole house, waking everyone up. "Lily, where are you?!"

She walked into the kitchen and saw a note, she picked it up, and read it.

"Hello Carly. Until you come be with me and my son is born, I think I will hold onto Lily for some leverage. Don't worry, I will not hurt her this time… Maybe if she's a good little girl and she does as she is told then there will be no problems. See ya! - Chuck"

Carly broke down and cried on the kitchen floor. Caleb, Pogue, Peyton, Sarah, and Kate found her curled up into a ball.

"What's wrong, Carly?" asked Pogue.

"He has my baby girl." she said getting off the floor.

"Who?" asked Caleb.

"Chuck… he took Lily while everyone was asleep."

She let them read the note, when Reid and Tyler came downstairs, seeing the worried look on everyone's faces.

"What's going on?" asked Reid. Carly looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "What's wrong Bella?"

"Chuck took Lily."

"What!?" Reid yelled.

"When?" asked Tyler.

"During the night… here's the note he left."

Tyler and Reid both read the note, Reid's eyes turned black and yelled "I am going to fuckin kill him!!"

Carly ran upstairs to see how Jacob was doing. She walked in and he was peacefully asleep. She sat next to him and woke him up.

"Jacob… hey honey, get up."

His eyes fluttered and he looked up and said "Hi… mom."

"Hey baby."

He saw the tears in her eyes and said "Whats wrong?"

"Um… there is a few things I need to tell you."

"What?" he looked around. "Where's Lily?"

"Um… she's gone."

"Where did she go?"

"Chuck took her."

"Daddy's here?"

"Look… Um--" she got cut off by Reid coming into the room, he sat down nex to Carly.

"Hey Jacob." said Reid holding Carly.

"Hi." he waved at Reid.

"Okay… Jacob, Chuck isn't your Daddy."

"What do you mean?"

"He's not your Daddy, he never was… Reid is."

"What?"

"Yeah, buddy… I am your dad."

"No way." Jacob said looking Reid in his eyes.

Carly nodded and said "Yeah… Chuck took Lily because he is mad at me. Um… Did you notice when Chuck hurt your sister?"

"Not really… she'd be in pain but I thought it was from school or something… Chuck's been hurting my sister?"

"Yeah… I found marks on her neck."

"Do you know where she is? Is Chuck going to take me too?"

"No, We don't know where he went and no he is not going to take you too." she said holding Jacob's hand.

"We're going to get her back." said Reid.

"Okay… Mom… Dad." Jacob said with a smile.

"Okay… Let's go downstairs so you can be around everyone and so you are safe." she said getting up off the bed.

"Okay." Jacob said getting up as well.

Then all three of them went downstairs in the den where everyone was at.

"Is everything okay?" asked Kate.

"Yeah… for now." Carly said sitting down on the couch, pulling Jacob in her lap holding him.

"Carly… do you know anywhere Chuck would be?" asked Caleb.

"Um… no."

Jacob sat up, looked at his mom funny, and said "Carly?"

"Yeah… my name isn't Isabelle, it's Carly… Chuck lied to you about that."

"Oh okay." Jacob said putting his head back down.

"We better find him… he is going to be dead." said Reid getting pissed off.

"We'll find them, don't worry." said Tyler trying to assure Carly.

"I have to get her back… this is between me and Chuck."

"You don't have to do this alone, Carly… we'll help you." said Caleb.

"I know… and thank you guys." Carly was thinking for a minute, then tears formed in her eyes. "What if Chuck finds out about Nicole? He'll hurt Lily."

Reid sat down next to Carly and said "We'll think of something… Lily will be okay."

She put her head on his chest and said "I hope so… that is our little girl, Reid."

He kissed her head and said "I know, baby."

A few hours later, Jacob was playing video games while the adults were trying to come up with a plan.

"We could go to the hospital or be where ever Nicole is… because you know Chuck will see her eventually." suggested Pogue.

"What do we do about Jacob?" asked Carly.

"He can go to my moms." said Tyler.

"Okay… that will be fine. I am sure he'll be safe there… I'm so sorry getting you guys in the middle of all of this."

"Don't be. We were apart of it when he took you away from us years ago… nothing has changed, Carly." said Caleb.

"Okay." she nodded. "Jacob… come here for a second."

He paused his game, walked over to her, and said "Yeah, Mom?"

"I want you to go with your Uncle Ty and Aunt Peyton to.--"

"Your grandmas." Tyler said cutting her off.

"Yeah… your grandmas okay? While you are there, I want you to be safe and if anything happens, call me, your dad, or any of us."

"Okay… what are you guys going to do?"

"We're going to get your baby sister and bring her back home with us."

"But I want to help Mom."

"Honey… you will be helping by keeping safe and away from Chuck."

"Okay then. Will you let me know when she comes back home?"

"Of course, Jacob. Get your things and they will take you over there."

"Okay… can I take the video games, Uncle Ty?"

"Sure buddy… go ahead."

"Yes… okay. I'll go pack." he said walking up the stairs.

"I'll go with him to make sure he's okay." said Tyler walking up with him.

Ten minutes later, Tyler and Jacob came back downstairs to the den with Jacob's things. Tyler made sure he put the video games in the suitcase with the rest of his stuff.

"Ready Peyton?" asked Tyler.

"Yeah." she said getting up.

Carly gave Jacob a hug and said "Will you please be safe and listen to what your grandma tells you?"

"Yes, Mommy… I'm a perfect angel."

She laughed and said "You are your fathers son… You're a mini-Reid."

"I am?"

"Yeah."

Jacob looked up at Reid and said "Am I a mini-you?"

"Yes… you are. In so many ways."

"Okay… cool." he looked back at his mom. "Okay, get my baby sister back. I love you mommy."

"I love you too." she hugged him again.

He let go and gave Reid a hug and said "I love you, Dad."

He rubbed his back and said "I love you too, Jacob."

Then Tyler and Peyton grabbed Jacob's things, all three of them got into the hummer and left to Tyler's moms house.
