Chapter 13

Things have been going good so far for Starr and Cole. Starr's little boy inside of her was growing real good inside of her. She was now 5 ½ months pregnant, and she was really happy that this little one was growing okay, even with worrying about when James and Britney were going to strike. It definitely wasn't helping Starr much, since she was a little hormonal right now, but it was a good thing Cole and Hope were there for her.

Not that it was easy, of course. Cole had explained to Hope about how her mom could go off the handle because of something, just to warn her in case it happened. Hope didn't understand it much, but nodded to let her dad know that she was aware.

"Man, I really wish things would be just normal for us," said Starr one night, as she was looking at stomach again.

"Well if it was, we wouldn't be as close as we are right now," said Cole, who walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around his wife. Starr always felt comfortable in her husband's arms.

"Well, that is one positive thing about it" Starr said while giggling a little. "But still, I mean, I wish we could have almost like a normal life sometimes."

Cole just sighed and turned Starr around said to her, "I hate to say this, Starr, but I think this is as normal as we can get. Granted, I may not like it either, but as long as I got you, this little one (He pointed at Starr's stomach), and our daughter, I would even go through the craziest situation that someone could think of."

"Something tells me I've been rubbing off on you, haven't I?" Starr wondered.

"Well, that could be," said Cole. He then bended down to kiss Starr on the lips; Starr couldn't bend right now because of their little boy.

A couple days later, Starr, Cole, and Hope were all at home. It was summer break, and Cole and Starr had the day off work. Hope was reading one of her favorite books. Cole was cleaning around the house. Starr wanted to help, but Cole told her to let him do it. Starr was a little annoyed, knowing it was about the baby, but she decided to listen to him. Instead, she decided if she couldn't clean, she would come up with some names for their unborn son. Unfortunately, Starr was having bad luck, and with hormones, it was driving her crazier then usual.

"What's wrong, Mommy?" asked Hope, who looked at her mom when Starr growled.

Starr really wanted to scream, but she held it in the best she could, because her daughter didn't need to feel what she was feeling. "I'm just having trouble coming up with names for your little brother, Hope," she said with difficulty.

"How about bunny?" Hope suggested.

Starr eyes popped out and laughed, which probably helped with her frustration a little. Cole even was laughing and said to Hope, "I'm pretty sure your brother wouldn't want to be named, Bunny, Hope."

"What could we name it then?" asked Hope.

"Honestly, right now I have no idea, sweetie," said Starr. "I just know that this little one is going to need a name real soon."

"Hey, we'll figure out a name real soon," said Cole. "In no time at all, it'll come to us just like that," Cole said, snapping his fingers as well.

Starr just smiled as well; Hope as well. She then decided to get another from the shelf when she saw a picture of her grandpa on the table. "Do you think Grandpa would be able to help us?"

"I'm sure your Grandpa Todd would be a little too busy right now, sweetie," said Cole.

"No, I mean my other Grandpa," said Hope. Starr and Cole looked at Hope curiously until they saw a picture of Cole's father, Patrick.

Just then Starr face just lit up and said, "Hope you are a genius." Hope though was confused by this, and so was Cole.

"What do you mean, Starr?" Cole asked, wondering what made Starr so excited.

"Why not give this little one your father's name?" Starr suggested.

"You're serious?" asked Cole. Starr nodded.

"You are going to name the baby, Grandpa?" asked Hope.

"No, sweetie," said Starr, laughing again, along with Cole. "I'm talking about giving your grandpa's name, which is Patrick, to your little brother."

Hope thought about it for a sec, and then said, "I love it."

"You aren't the only one, Hope," said Cole. Starr looked at him. She knew that Cole really loved the name choice, since it was his father's name.

"But don't babies have two names?" asked Hope.

"Don't worry, we'll find a middle name for this one soon, but do you guys agree, in naming him Patrick?" asked Starr.

There was no disagreement as Cole and Hope put their votes up. Starr just laughed, as she laid her hand again on the baby bump. Just then, she said, "Looks like he likes it too."

"How do you know that, Mommy?" asked Hope.

"Because he's kicking again," said Starr. She then took Hope's hand and put it to her stomach, and Hope was like in shock when she felt it.

"Wow, it feels awesome," said Hope.

"You bet it does, Hope," said Cole. "Nothing is better then bringing a new life into this world."

"And don't you forget that, Hope," said Starr. Hope assured them that she wouldn't.

Meanwhile at the police station, John was going through every lead they were getting on trying to find James and Britney. Unfortunately, every lead was turning up a dead one.

"Where are you two?" he said to himself, as he looking around the new leads.

"Having trouble, John?" asked Bo, who walked in.

"Yeah, with the Jennings/Ford case," said John. "I've been going over every promising lead, but nothing good on it."

"Hey, we'll find them," said Bo. "They can't just disappear into thin air."

"Well, I just exhausted every single place in Llanview. I am pretty close to start searching around at Llantano Mountain. It's the only area we haven't gone over yet," said John.

"Well when you get ready to do that, let me know," said Bo, "because I want to search with you."

"No problem," said John, and Bo left John to get back to work.

John though knew that they had to find them as soon as they could, because since James was a mental patient, he could snap at any time, and it certainly wouldn't do well if he was around Starr. Britney definitely needed to be captured as well, for breaking James out as well. .

"John, its Brody." He was calling from outside the office.

"Enter," said John.

"We just got another tip about where Jennings and Ford could be," said Brody.

"Oh great, How reliable is this?" asked John, taking the file.

"Pretty good," Brody answered, "because this tipster sent a photo of them."

Sure enough, once John opened the file, He saw a picture of Britney and James in the woods, at Llantano Mountain where the tipster said where the picture was taken.

"Go get some men, and tell them to suit up," said John. "I want to check this area out. I'm going to tell Bo about this."

"No problem, John," said Brody, and he went to go do what he was told.

"Where do you think we should go now?" asked James. They were packing up, since they knew they couldn't stay too long.

"Oh don't worry. I already got that figured out," said Britney. "I heard that there's an abandon building up on top of the mountain, and it should help us for a while until its time to put the plan into action. And we need to get moving now."

"Well then what are we waiting for?" said James. He and Britney then headed out, with Britney making sure that the alarm was secure, along with a trap just to be safe.

Later that night, Starr was looking at the calendar, because she had to figure out soon when she had to go on maternity leave for a while from work. Cole walked in after putting Hope to sleep.

"It's getting pretty close isn't it?" said Starr.

"Yeah, I know what it is," said Cole, "even though it is 3 ½ months away." Starr just laughed at that.

"You're really just as excited as Hope for this little one to get here, huh?" Starr said, in a cheerful voice.

"Well, considering that we decided what his name is going to be, Yeah, I guess you can say I'm even more excited then I have ever been," Cole said in a soft tone. Starr just smiled as she and Cole went into bed and snuggled into each other, with both having one hand over their unborn boy.

John, Brody, Bo, and other officers from the Llanview PD was searching around the woods of Llantano Mountain for Britney and James. Just then, Bo noticed something.

"Hey there's a cabin up there, a few feet ahead. Let's check that area out," he said. In addition, they went up there to check it out. They looked around and saw that the cabin was used recently.

"They've been here, but looks like they just left," said Bo, but just as he step down, he knocked over something that triggered something to fall down hard; the porch roof. Unfortunately, one of the officers was hit. John and Bo, who were also under the roof, dove out in time.

"Call a medic, now!" Bo called out. He and John helped get the officer out of the rubble, while Brody kicked the doors open and led the other officers in, since it was now a crime scene.

"Get this place checked out now, and bag anything that looked like it was used recently." He ordered. "They're really in trouble now," he said to himself as he went to help search the place.

A/N: Oh boy, If Britney and James could set something up like that, who know what could happen to Starr and Cole if they managed to get to them. Stay tuned.
