Chapter 25
*Stephen*
Stephen arrives at Silas' house and heads inside. Rafe and Molly are fast asleep on the couch. "Rafe…Rafe! Wake up!" Stephen says as he shakes him. "Wha…what's going on?" "We've got to get going. Molly we are going to drop you off home ok" Stephen says running down the hall. "Dr. Clay what's wrong? What's going on?" Molly asks. "Yea unc, where are we going?" Rafe says as Stephen comes back. "I'll explain in the car. Come on." He says as they head out the house. They head to Alexis' house. "Now I don't want to scare the both of you but your father is back and I just have to get you out of town." "Oh MY GOD! He's alive! What about my sister?! Does she know?" Molly panics. "Yea she does. She told me to pick up Danny and she's going to meet us where we're going." "I knew he was going to come after us so I'm going to beat him to the punch." Stephen says as they pulled up to the lake house. "Be careful Rafe. Call me when you can." Molly says as she kisses him on the cheek. She starts to get out the car but Rafe pulls her back and kisses her. "Who knows if I will ever get to do that again." Rafe says as Molly looks at him with a shocked look. "Sorry I have to break this up but come on Molly." Stephen says as Molly gets out the car and heads to the door. Alexis opens the door with a confused look. "Mom where's Danny?" Molly asks slightly frantic. "He's in his crib sleep." Alexis says as Stephen goes towards her room, "What's going on?" Alexis asks. Molly starts to explain but Stephen interrupts her. "Nothing is wrong. Samantha just wanted me to pick him up. She's a little tired that's all." Stephen says. "But…but…" "It's okay Molly. Ya'll have a good night." Stephen says as he heads out the door. He puts Danny in the car and drives off. They head towards the mountains.
They arrive at the villa as Rafe looks on. "Whoa…what is this?" Rafe asks as they get out the car. "This is a family heirloom. Welcome to the Morley villa." Stephen says. Rafe pauses before he goes inside. "What's wrong?" Stephen says as Danny fidgets in his arms. "So this is something that belongs to the family." "Well actually it belonged to your father. As you can tell." Rafe goes inside and looks around. He sees pictures of Livvie all around. "So this is Livvie? Wow, she really does look like Sam." "Yep, that's your step-mother, Olivia. It's uncanny really how much they look alike." "She's beautiful. Like a serene goddess or something." Rafe says as he goes off in a daze. "Olivia was the most elegant woman I ever met. She'll light up the room with her smile alone. She would walk in and heads would turn, like she was a queen." Stephen says as he sheds a tear. "Wow, I see why dad would lose it." "I was lost without her. She was everything I ever wanted. I could have a shitty day and I'll see her. She'll come running to me every time and jump in my arms. And in that moment everything that was going wrong, just melts away. She took me to a place where no one else could. When I lost her…I lost everything." Stephen says as he walks away. Rafe stares at the picture for a little while longer until he realizes what was just said. "Wait…" Rafe says as he walks down the hall.
Stephen puts Danny down in the playpen. He then looks at a picture of him and Livvie. "Oh Olivia…where did I fail you at? Everything was going so great." Stephen says as Rafe goes running in the room. "No…it can't be…" "I'll promise I'll make everything good again. You'll come back to me, I swear." Stephen says not realizing Rafe is in the room. "Is everything ok...?" Rafe asks. "Yes, I'm okay." "You must really loved her…" "I did. She was my world. My whole world…and in a flash, she was gone." "But it's okay now…you have Sam now. Rafe says getting closer. "Yea…my Samantha." Stephen says looking at Rafe whose eyes have grown in size. "You want a tour of the place? I think Danny wants to go back to sleep don't you buddy?" Stephen says as he leads Rafe out the room and Danny falls fast asleep.
S&S&S&S&S&S&S&S&&S&S
Silas is frantically driving to his house. Every now and then he would glance over at Sam who was looking out the window. Then he would look in the rearview mirror and see Livvie who was doing the same thing and get instantly creeped out. "You can stop doing that you know. It's getting annoying." Livvie says which breaks Sam out her thoughts. "What's going on?" "Silas keeps looking between the two of us and its weirding him out." "Sorry. I'm trying to get used to having the both of you around even though I can tell the difference between the both of you." Silas says. "How?" Sam questions. "Well for starters Livvie's hair is a little longer than yours Sam. And you part yours different. Secondly, I know your eyes anywhere Sam. They radiate something different than hers. There could be a million lookalikes and I will be still be able to see you and only you." Silas says as he grabs her hand. Sam smiles and looks at him as they pull to the house. They go running inside. "RAFE! Sweetie where are you?" Sam says as they go running through the house. "It looks like he was here at some point." Livvie says as she goes in the living room. They all run into the living room to look around. "Looks like he had company too. There is another glass here." Livvie says as Sam says out loud "Molly…my sister was here." "Who?" "My little sister Molly. Rafe and her are basically inseparable at times. They would probably be dating if she wasn't with T.J. I thought you knew all this angel of the night." Sam says sarcastically. "I knew of her but never knew her name Samantha." "Call me that again Olivia and I will punch you in the face." "Girls! This is not the time for meaningless arguments! We have to find my nephew!" Silas interjects. "Let me call Molly." Sam says as she walks out the room.
"Come on Molly…pick up the phone." Sam says impatiently. "Hello?" "Hey Molly! Where are you at?" "I'm home. Are you ok? Dr. Clay was telling me and Rafe everything." Molly asks as Sam pauses. "Wait…you actually saw Silas tonight?" "Yea he came and picked up me and Rafe. Took me home and picked Danny up." Molly says. Sam looks at her phone then screams. "HE'S GOT MY SON! SILAS!" Silas and Livvie come running as Sam panics. Silas grabs the phone. "Molly? You said that I picked up you and Rafe and then went and got Danny?" "Yes, why are you asking me that for?" Molly questions confused. "Molly I need for you to go get your mom and put me on speakerphone." Silas says calmly as Livvie tries to calm Sam down. "Calm down?! How can I calm down when my children have been kidnapped! Don't tell me to calm down!" Sam yells as Silas looks at her. "You're on speaker." Molly says after a minute. "Okay I don't want to alarm you. But that wasn't me that came to your house. It was my brother…" Silas says. There was a silence followed by a shrill scream. "HE'S ALIVE! HOW? WHERE IS SAM?" Alexis blurts out. "I don't know how but he is but don't worry Sam is with me." "I'm fine mama but he's got my babies." Sam grabs the phone and says. "Oh God Sam, I've should of known…but he looked so much like…" "I know mama. I know. But did he say where he was going? Where he was taking Rafe?" "No he just said that wherever they were going you were going to meet them there." Molly says through tears. "Look you go and find them. We'll call the police." Alexis says. "Don't call the police!" Silas and Livvie both yell. "Why not?" "They're not going to believe me when I say my brother is back and he's gone crazy again." "Well that last part they might believe…" Livvie says. "Look we have no time! The police don't know how to deal with him like I do. We'll find and bring them home. Trust me." Silas says. Alexis sighs. "Just bring my grandsons and my daughter home safe please. And you just be careful. The last time someone went up against him, people almost died." "Well unlike them, he can't kill me. Not by a long shot." Silas says as he hands the phone back to Sam. "Baby be careful. I love you and Silas so much." "Oh mama we will. I'll be home soon." They say their goodbyes and hang up.
Sam looks at Livvie who has a solemn expression on her face. "Where Silas go off to?" "He went upstairs for something." Livvie says as they hear something break. They go running upstairs to see Silas throwing everything around. "Silas! SILAS!" Sam yells through the chaos. Silas turns around to see both of them looking at him wide eyed. Livvie starts to back away from the door. Never have she seen Silas like that. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to let that happen again." Silas says as he drops to the floor. Sam runs to him as he lets out a cry in frustration. "It's okay, we'll find them Silas. We'll bring our kids home. And then things can go back to the way it was before." Sam says holding him. She looks up at Livvie who shoots her a knowing look. "Come on let's put our heads together. Where could he have taken them?" Sam says. They all look at each other until Livvie looks off out the window. She sees a picture of Stephen and Rafe. "What? What is it Livvie?" Silas looks at her and asks. "I know where they are…they're at the villa in the mountains." She says. "Let's go then! What are we waiting for?!" Sam says as she runs out the door. She makes to the stairs when she doubles over in pain. "Sam? You ok?" Silas runs to her. "I'm fine. Just caught a cramp." "You sure?" "Yep. It's gone now." Sam says as they run down the stairs and out the door.
