"I'm not ready for this, Caleb."
"I know, babe. I am not ready for it too but it is better for us and for him", he said taking my hand in his hands while we were lying in our bed at night.
"But what if someone comes here to pick him up? I mean, someone who's not one of us. We are going to lose him too! And I don't think I can handle it one more time…", I said almost crying when I remembered Samantha's kidnapping.
"Don't think this way, Han! We have already talked with all the employees and the local police is on guard. Nobody will take him from us! Relax, ok?"
"But you know –A! She or he knows how to get what it wants! I still think Oliver will be safer in our house."
"Hanna, Olie have to get along with other kids! He have to live too! And the sooner, the better! Come on! We are not going to argue over this again, are we?"
"I just wanted to keep our son safe! But if you want to take the risk, all right, take it! However, when Oliver disappear don't say that I didn't warn you about it!", I said with tears coming down my face.
"I know that Sam's kidnapping was traumatic, I was living it too, but know we have ways to protect Olie that we didn't have before, honey. All of the cops in Rosewood are already warned about it and they won't let anybody take our son from us. They will watch him over every day and nothing will happen, ok?", Caleb said stroking my cheeks and drying my tears.
I sniffed and nodded my head. He gave me a kiss in the forehead and smiled, hugging me after. We got under the covers and he turned out the lights. In the next day, we'll take Oliver to his first day in the primary school.
"Good morning, sunshine! It's time to wake up, you have to go to school!", I said trying to wake Oliver up. He shook his eyes against the light that I turned on and muttered unintelligible words.
I helped him to get up and dressed him. We gone downstairs where Caleb was putting Olie's lunch in a blue Spiderman's bag. Then we all walked into the kitchen to have breakfast. Caleb had already put the plates and the cups on the table. While he was frying eggs and bacon, I was making Oliver's milk. He ate an apple while Caleb and I were eating our breads with eggs and bacon and then we left home. When we arrived at Olie's school I got off the car with Oliver and we stopped in the middle of the sidewalk. I squatted in front of him and stroked his blonde hair.
"Mom, why dad is not here? Is he coming?", he asked seriously looking at me.
"Dad and I won't come with you, honey", I answered trying to handle the crying.
"Why?"
"Because… Because we have to work and we can't stay here."
"I'm not going to see you anymore?", he asked with little tears in his brown eyes.
"No! No, babe. We'll came here to pick you up later to go back home. But while this, I don't want you to cry, ok? There are many kids in there, just like you and Julie and you'll have a lot of fun with them, I'm sure. Some nice women will teach you things and help you too. There are a lot of games and toys there for you to play. And you have to behave well ok sweetie? Don't strike others kids, don't yell at people and obey the older people. And please Oliver, don't talk to strange adults. Don't go anywhere with anyone else who's not me or your dad. It's dangerous and we'll be very worried. Do you understand that?"
"Yes, mommy."
"So, what you can't do?"
"Talk and walk with strangers", he repeated.
"All right. Now you'll go there and have a lot of fun!"
I took his hand and guided him into the primary school where a blonde lady was waiting for us. She took his lunch bag in a hand and held his little fingers in the other smiling while talking to Oliver. I gave him a kiss in the cheeks and said goodbye, going back to the car where Caleb was waiting for me.
In the evening, Caleb and I came back to the primary school to take Oliver home. When we were arriving, I saw Olie in the front door surrounded by other children and with a woman that I didn't see before. The woman was holding his hand and talking to him. Suddenly, someone with a black hoddie came from nowhere and the woman give Oliver to the person. He was a little bit confused and refused to go. The woman was trying to convince him while Caleb was parking the car.
"Caleb, -A is here! It's trying to take Oliver!", I screamed in the car.
"What?!"
"Look!", I said ponting to the person in the hoddie. "We have to stop them!"
Before he could said anything more, I opened the door and jumped from the car, running and yelling at the woman. –A heard it and started to run, leaving Olie in the school.
"STOP THAT PERSON! HELP!", I yelled, hopping that some guard was around to hear. All of the parents and children in the sidewalk were in panic and –A escaped easily from them. Before it turned the corner, four cops showed up to stop it but –A ran away from them too. Three cops started to chase –A and they gone away from the school. While that, I was yelling at the woman that was giving Olie to –A and one of the cops came to help.
"What happened here?", he asked me worried.
"This woman was helping someone to kidnap my son!", I answered angry, pointing at the lady in front of me.
"Well, what do you have to say about this young lady?", the asked for her.
"I didn't know that this person was trying to rapt Oliver! I thought it was one of his familiars!", she lied.
"Sorry, but that's a lie! My husband and I told every single worker here to NOT, in any circumstances, let anyone but us pick Oliver up!"
The cop raised an eyebrow and the woman looked worried to us. And then she started running away from us. The cop ran after her and didn't let she escape.
"Now you have to explain yourself to the police, miss!", the cop said holding her hands together. "Is everything ok now?", he asked me.
"Yeah, yeah. For now, everything is fine. Thank you, sir!", Caleb answered behind me with a smile on his face.
"All right! If you two need some help, just call us."
"Yes, we will!", I said smiling and lifting Oliver in my arms.
The cop put the woman in the bushwacker and gone away. Caleb, Oliver and I got into our car and Caleb drove us back home. When we arrived, there was a note in the front door:
"Maybe I couldn't take Oliver today but someday, sometime, they both will be mine. Kisses –A'"
