Chapter 8
Beth waited nervously at the gazebo sitting on the picnic table. Wade drove up and got out of his car.
"Where are they?" Wade asked.
"They're on their way," Beth said.
Wade sat beside Beth.
"Why did you abuse Chuck when he was a kid?" Beth asked.
"He was a little brat," Wade replied. "So I roughed him up a little."
"He was your son and you beat him!" Beth shouted.
"Didn't I just say he was a brat?" Wade asked.
"That's no excuse!" Beth shouted.
"Look," Wade said. "I haven't laid a finger on him since he was a child."
"But you violated your restraining orders," Beth said. "You abducted my son."
"He went willingly with me," Wade said.
"First of all, he's a little boy!" Beth shouted. "You violated your restraining orders! You knew you weren't supposed to be near him! You kidnapped my son!"
"So I kidnapped him!" Wade shouted. "I was going to bring him back, but then Nathan Scott had to interfere!"
"Did you get all that?" Beth asked.
Several police officers came out from hiding. Two of them handcuffed Wade.
"Wade Scolnik," one of the officers said. "You're under arrest for violating your restraining orders and for the abduction of Jacob Scolnik."
"You set me up bitch!" Wade shouted.
"Yes I did," Beth said. "You are not standing in the way of my happiness, Chuck's happiness, or Jacob's happiness."
"Beth," Wade said.
"No," Beth said. "I never want to see you again. You stay away from Chuck and my son."
Later, Chuck was reading Jacob a bedtime story in Jacob's room.
"And they all lived happily ever after," Chuck said. "The end."
"Thank you Daddy," Jacob said.
"You're welcome," Chuck said. "Now it's time for you to go to sleep."
"Good night Daddy," Jacob said.
"Good night son," Chuck said.
Chuck kissed his son on the forehead and turned out the light. He then walked out of the room where Beth was waiting for him. Beth and Chuck went into the living room and Beth told Chuck about what happened with Wade.
"So he's in jail?" Chuck asked.
"Yes," Beth said.
"Thank you," Chuck said giving his fiancé a kiss.
