"Baby, tell Mommy what's wrong?" Bella asked softly into the phone, next thing I know she was jerking forward like someone told her it was her last moment on Earth.

I tried taking the phone, but she shook her head furiously. I was able to hit the speakerphone button so I was clued into what was happening.

"The lady…" my angel cried.

"Mackenzie, tell daddy where you are?" I said as calmly as possible. My heart was now in my throat wondering what the hell was going on.

"In the…pppotty," she hiccupped.

"Monkey, please quit crying so we can help you, please," I pleaded.

After a pause her breaths slowed down, I hoped she wasn't going to sleep. "Daddy?"

"I'm here, Mommy's here…now tell Daddy what happened, baby," I soothed wishing I could take all the bad away and hold her close.

"I took Mommy's phone," she whispered.

Bella looked at the nightstand where her phone usually was. "She knows how to use my phone," Bella said aloud not really directing the statement to me. I remembered the Jessica incident and how she called her mother.

"That's okay," I assured her. "Where are Nana and Gramps?"

"I…I…lost them," her little voice cracked.

"Shhh, you're going to be okay," I cooed hoping I was right. "How did you lose them?"

"The lady grabbed my hand, made an owie," she squeaked.

"What lady, Kenz?" Bella finally spoke.

"The lady that looks like Mommy," she finally said.

"Renee," Bella whispered, clutching my arm tightly as her breathing picked up.

"Is the lady with you?" I asked firmly forgetting that I needed to be gentle.

"I ran far," she sniffled.

My phone began ringing and it was my parents. "Bella keep her on the phone, I know this is scary, but keep her on the phone," I murmured so Mackenzie wouldn't get scared anymore then what she already was. Finally, Bella looked at me and nodded, trying to ask her question in a normal tone, I knew on the inside she was falling apart.

"Dad?"

"Edward," he said warily I could feel the panic in his voice.

"Mackenzie's on the phone with Bella,"

"We're in the airport looking for her, security is helping us," he said quickly.

"She said she's in the potty, have them check the restrooms," I told him and heard him speaking to someone I could also hear my mother crying.

"She walked away…"

"She was taken," I said through gritted teeth.

"Taken?" I couldn't tell what was going on in his head, but the fear of this situation was weighing down on me.

"Renee," I said after a deep breath.

I looked over to Bella who was rubbing her naked stomach. The next wave of fear was for her and the baby. The stress of this could affect them.

"Get a description of the bathroom from her," I said gently cupping the side of her frowning face. She was being strong not trying to cry, she was holding it in for Mackenzie.

"What colors are the doors of the potty, monk?" Bella cooed.

"Blue and red," Mackenzie mumbled.

"Did you see anything…" she stretched trying to get more information out of a little child.

"I saw Mickey, and a castle, and a tree… a hat…" she rambled out.

"Dad, Mackenzie said she saw Mickey, a castle, and a tree?" I told him.

He rattled the information to whoever was with them. I heard someone reply something about the Mickey Mural.

"You such a good girl, baby," Bella reassured her.

I stayed on the phone with my dad also listening to every word that was coming out of Mackenzie and Bella's mouths. Then I heard someone on Mackenzie's end. "Mommy?" she started to cry.

Bella cast a scared glance at me. Then I heard it on dad's end. "Small girl found in the mural restrooms, dark auburn hair, green eyes…" they trailed off more information they also said something about the phone. They found her. I nodded to Bella letting her know it was okay.

"Baby,"

"The man and lady looks like, Pap," she whispered.

"Kenzie it's okay go to the man and lady they'll take you to Nana and Gramps," I told her gently.

I heard her talking to them. "Daddy say I can go with you, are you nice?"

"Edward?"

"They have her dad," I sighed. "Renee took her, they need to find her."

"I'm already taking care of it," he assured, but it wasn't good enough.

"We're flying down."

"Bella shouldn't be…" he started, but I cut him off.

"We're flying," I said with more finality.

"We'll arrange your flight," he exhaled.

I hung up the phone closing my eyes tightly. That was one of the scariest things I had ever been through.

"Edward," Bella finally whimpered, the tears flooding down her cheeks. I pulled her to me never wanting to let her go, whispering promises of safety and protection.

"We need to get ready, love," I said kissing her hair.

"I want to kill her," she cried out through clenched teeth.

"Believe me I know," I said sadly. "We need to call your dad."

"He'll want to go."

"He can, it's better to have the law on our side," I tried joking, but it felt off.

"He's the law of Forks not Orlando," she offered back, but I knew we were feeling the same emotions.

"Come on," I sighed grabbing our clothes so we could get to our girl.

"I'm never going to want to let her go," Bella said frankly.

"Agreed," I nodded, helping her dress. She was cringing and that was another thing I had to add to my worry list.

Charlie had his sirens blaring when he met us at the drop off zone at the airport. I'm pretty sure it wasn't legal, but he had reasons. Seth got out of the car giving both of us a quick squeeze before he left with Charlie's car.

"Bella, I'm so sorry you both had to go through this," Charlie said his only focus on his daughter.

Renee's words from our last encounter kept slamming into my brain.

"You both will pay," she screamed. "You took my daughter away, your perfect fucking rich family took her away," she said as her finger dug into my chest repeatedly.

She swung around to Charlie a look of pure hatred upon her features. "I hope you're happy Charlie, you've managed to fuck up my life again and you will pay, you all will pay!"

That's when she started toward Bella in my car. Not knowing what she was capable of I had to stop her, thank God, Charlie was able to.

"Dad can we please just go get Kenz?" she asked meekly.

I tucked her into my side as we walked through the airport. I was reluctant to let her go as we went though security, but we had to follow procedure. Charlie remained quiet not looking at us the entire flight. I could see the guilt he was trying so hard to hide. This wasn't his fault.

"Can't this plane go any faster?" Bella grumbled from beside me.

"We're almost there," I said squeezing her hand.

True to my word we landed twenty minutes later to my dad and the police greeting us. "Mr. Cullen we have your mother-in-law in custody," he began.

I shifted at the title, that woman was nothing to us. Bella's face turned red and never in the twenty years I've known her have I seen her this outraged. I pulled her closer to me before she started a scene. "Can we discus this later? My wife and I would really like to see our daughter," I said politely.

"I understand sir," he smiled warmly.

"Edward I can deal with this for you," Charlie said.

I looked between him and the cop. "My father-in-law is the Chief of Police in our hometown I would appreciate if you could fill him in on the situation and what action will be taken. We can talk in the morning?" I offered the man.

"No problem sir, we can take him to the station and let him see the paper work," he suggested and I nodded.

"Come on kids, someone very important is waiting for you in the airport suites." Carlisle smiled hugging us both.

We followed behind him. "I've never seen you act like an adult," Bella said quietly, squeezing my arm.

"I do what I need to do," I shrugged, kissing her head.

It felt like we had been in limbo since Mackenzie called us, that was until we were standing in front of the suite.

"Go on she's waiting for you," Dad nudged us.

Lying on the bed was my little angel with her Ariel nightgown on and her wild curls splayed on the pillow as she watched the television. Bella rushed to the bed sweeping her into her arms and I followed holding on to both of them tightly.

I love you's flying out of our mouths. Bella and I laywith her crying for what we have and could have lost. After almost an hour, both Bella and Mackenzie were out for the night.

I sat on the edge of the bed not wanting to take my eyes off them for a second. I felt the spot next to me sink and arms wrap around me, pulling my face to their shoulder. That's when I broke down in my mother's arms.

"How could someone do something like that?" I choked out.

"I don't know, sweetheart," she murmured, kissing my head like she did when I was little and Emmett would terrorize me.

"She could be gone, Mom," I rasped out at the thought.

I would never be able to be in a world without Mackenzie, Bella, or the baby. Mom tightened her hold crying with me.

"Thanks for being an extraordinary mother, " I pulled away kissing her cheek.

"I have to say I've had pretty amazing children," she giggled and Dad chuckled from the chair in the corner of the room.

Her focus turned to Bella as she lightly touched her baby bump. Mom was quiet as she looked at her. "No matter what happens with this whole Renee mess, you need to be there for her Edward. She will need you to help her through this. Her pregnancy will be difficult and she will need you to love on her. Be her rock, be the man we raised you to be," she smiled.

"I will Mom," I said lamely. How do you respond to something like that? I knew in my heart I could do that, which was my purpose in this life. To be with Bella, protect her, love her; make sure she had all the happiness life could offer. I would be the person in her life that could give her that. We would spend the rest of our lives with our children however many that would be and I would be the one to give them everything.
