"We should probably get out of bed Soph, " Nate told the sleeping woman next to him.
"Don't wanna," she mumbled snuggling into his chest further.
"You can wake up Parker."
Just the thought of her baby girl with sparkling blue eyes grinning and reaching out to her with a cry of, "Mummy! Up, Mummy up!" made Sophie practically jump out of bed.
Nate smiled to himself and got out of bed to make breakfast.
From the upstairs bedroom Sophie screamed. "Nate! Nate!" He rolled his eyes at her theatrics, probably just a spider the size of a Cheerio, "What is it Soph?"
"Parker," she cried.
Nate ascended the stairs taking them three at a time and turned sharply into his princess's nursery. Sophie was sobbing against a wall and Parker's crib was empty, not even 'Bunny', the stuffed rabbit Nana Devereaux had given her when she was born was there. Parker never went anywhere without Bunny.
Their baby was gone.
