"How exactly do you expect us to get you a check if you won't let us move ?" Dana asked

"Do you honestly think this is the right time to act like a smart ass, Dana, honestly do you?" Nick yelled

"Can you stop yelling." Dana yelled back. She thought briefly. "You do realize that you're not wearing a mask, right?"

"Dana! Consentrate on the main issue." Nick yelled

"Shut up." she yelled back. "Think about this. If you are to take our daughter, my husband and I would be able to describe to the police exactly what you looked like. With the connections we have chances are you'll be arrested before you can blink. If you do get arressted then you'll most likly be in jail for the rest of your life. Meaning for the rest of your life you will never be able to see your family, your wife. Is my daughter really worth all that trouble?"

"3 million dollars is." the other guy said

"Do you have any children ?" Nick asked

"Yeah, an 8 year old son."

"Now image yourself in my postion. How do you expect me to just stand here and watch my daughter get kidnapped, again. If you want money we can give you money. Not 3 million, we can't afford that. The highest we can afford is one mil." Nick explained

"I'll take it."

"Dana, write a check." Nick whispered "I'll stay here with Jessica."

"Yeah, and that check better not bounce." one guy said

"Move your ass, we aint got all day. I got stuff to do." the other fallowed, Dana ran out the room.

"Biancavilla, keep in mind, if anything goes wrong, if you tick me off, you will be in the deepest shit of you life.You got that?"

"Look, dude, I just want my kid back. My family has gone through hell and we're just recovering. My wife... I don't want her to hurt like she was. I understand that you guys need money. However why torture my kids and my wife for that money?"

"Look, Kid." the guy yelled at Nick "You can't complain! Your family has gone through hell? Don't you have another little girl asleep in the room next to this? You have two little girls, they will always be there to make you proud. They will always be there for you when you need them, just like you'd be for them. As for your wife! She's still by your side ain't she? She loves you, you love her; she'd never abuse your trust, she'd never take advantge of you. My wife left me, she took my kids. Until I can pay child support I can't see them. That's why I need your money." Dana walked back into the room with the check in her hand. Nick took it from her.He handed it to one of the guys. The other man released Jessica, who ran into Nick's arms. He pick her up, her arms were tighly wrapped around his shoulders.

"You what you wanted, you can leave now. I really don't want to call the cops." Nick warned, the men quickly evacuated.

"You okay, hun?" Dana asked, Jessica nodded "Did you get scared?"

"Can I sleep in your bed? Please." she begged

"Of couse you can, babe." Dana said. "Run, Daddy and I will be there in one second." Nick put her down and she ran.

"This is all your fault." Nick yelled

"My fault? I was right there in bed next to you. How the hell can I be responsible for this?"

"Quite simple. You gave birth to her!"

"Well, you got me pregnant."

"That was your fault, too! You're taking advantage of my sensitivity for you. I'm not stupid you're not as vonrable as you claim to be."

"Are we seriously going to fight over who's fault this is?" Dana asked "Our daughter was being kidnapped before our very eyes. Instead of being with her comferting her, we're argue over who's fault it is."

"Your right." Nick thought. "Have fun comferting her." he said and walked toward the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Dana whined

"I'm going to sleep at my mother's house. If I stay here I may kill you."

"What did I do? Why do I deserve to be killed?"

"I'm tired of giving a shoulder to lean on, tired of giving you a hand to hold. I have needs to ya' know. You're taking advantge of me."

"I'm not! And I'm not acting vonrable. I'm over it Nick, all of it. I don't need anymore 'shoulders to lean on, or hands to hold' I'm fine."

"Have you realized we can't go three days without fighting?"

"Yes, I have." she whispered

"I'm sorry, Dana, but I think we should seperate... I need time to my self." he walked away as Dana begunto cry. She walked into her room. Jessica was sitting in her bed waiting for her. Alexa came running into the room.

"I heared yelling." she said with incorrect vocabulary "Can I stay here?" Dana nodded, Alexa ran and got into bed.

"Why are you crying, Mommy?" Jessica asked "What happened ?"

"Nothing, just go to sleep." Dana whispered
The next day. Dana's mother flew in from Verginia, due to the seperation.

"I don't understand why he left you?" she asked

"He's tired of me." she answered as tears ran down her face, leaving dark streaks of mascara and eye liner.

"What about the girls? Doesn't he care about them?"

"I don't know, Mom. Honestly, I don't care. I hate my life."

"I told you not to get married at 19. Did you listen to me? No, you insisted."

"Mom, I really don't wanna listen to that right now."

"Have you told the girls ?"

"Was I suppose to?"

"Yes, of cousre you were."

"Well, I haven't. I don't want to tell them."

"They're going to notice that their father isn't here, Dana."

"I don't want to think about it right now." Dana yelled and ran up the stairs and slammed her bed room door closed. Meanwhile, Nick was sitting in his old room. His TV was on and he was watching baseball, with Beer in his hand. His brother entered the room.

"Hey, Dude, sup?" Jake asked

"Nothing."

"I heard about what happen?"

"Good for you Jake."

"I think you're making the biggest mistake of your life."

"Do you ?"

"Yeah, moron. Any idiot could see that the two of you love one another."

"Well them those idiots are wrong, because I don't loverher."

"You are lying to yourself."

"Jake, you don't know what's going on. Hell, you aren't even married."
