With the stress of Kristina being missing Alexis, with Jax's urging, made an appointment to see Dr. Meadows just to make sure that everything with her and the baby was all right. Dr. Meadows did an exam and ultrasound and much to Alexis' relief said that everything was fine. Her blood pressure was up a little, but that was to be expected with the situation. The doctor told her that she needed to try and relax as much as possible, and to have faith that the people looking for Kristina would find her.

So far no one had been able to find a damn thing. It was as if Kristina just disappeared into thin air. As she stepped out of Dr. Meadows office Alexis reached into her bag to find her cell phone so she could call Jax. She wanted to let him know she was all right, as well as ask if he had anything new. The sound of his voice when he picked up helped her to relax.

"So how was your check up?" Jax asked.

Alexis smiled as she walked down the hallway. "The baby and I are fine. Of course she told me to avoid as much stress as possible, which isn't going to happen until we've found Kristina. Any word?"

"Nothing new." Jax said sadly. "But we're still working on this."

"I know you are." Alexis replied. "I'm heading home. See you there?"

"Already on my way." Jax said. "Love you."

Alexis smiled softly as she stepped onto the elevator. She gave Bobbie, who was at the nurses' station a wave as the doors began to close, while still speaking to Jax. "Love you too." She hadn't noticed the man on the elevator as she'd stepped on; he'd been standing in the back corner out of sight. She didn't notice him as she hung up her cell and dropped it back in her bag. She finally noticed him when a hand went over her mouth and she felt a sudden prick in her upper arm. She felt her whole body relax, as she grew sleepy. She could feel herself sag into the stranger's arms as she looked at him, her eyes full of rage with a touch of fear.

"Do not worry, Princess." The man told her in Russian. "The drug will not harm your child. Rest now."

When Jax got home he wasn't to surprise to see that Alexis wasn't home yet. Ever since they'd found out she was pregnant Alexis had become an especially cautious driver, which drove Sam insane. He smiled to himself as he thought back to a few nights ago when they'd all gone out for ice cream. Sam was sitting in the back seat complaining about Alexis' driving and suddenly announced, "Mom! Come on! That lady just passed us up and she's like one hundred and two walking with a walker!" For the sake of peace in his family, having a pre-tween daughter and pregnant "wife" had Jax swimming in female hormones; he'd driven them home that evening so his Davis Girls wouldn't strangle each other.

His bright smile quickly faded when he walked through the front door of the lakehouse. Ingrid, Sam's nanny, was slumped, unconscious on the couch. He ran to her and checked for a pulse. "Ingrid!" He tried to wake her while he looked up and yelled, "Sam! Sam! Samantha!" When there was no reply Jax left the nanny where she was and tore through the house looking for his daughter, she wasn't there or on the grounds. He did manage to find the guards Stefan had hired; they were all knocked out as well. He went back to Ingrid and shook her. "Ingrid! Where's Sam! What happened?"

The nanny groaned and reached for the back of her head where she'd been hit. When she was a little more with it she moaned, "Sam?"

"She's gone Ingrid." Jax repeated. "What happened?"

Fear quickly filled the young woman's eyes. Her head was pounded as she held it in her hands. "I was cleaning up after helping Sam with her project for school. She was taking it to her room. Someone hit me from behind."

Jax could see that the young woman was struggling. He jumped to his feet and called 911. Then he realized he'd been home for some time and Alexis wasn't back yet. His heart stopped. His hand shook as he dialed her cell number. There was no answer.

"The Princess and her daughter are secured, Sergei." A young woman said in Russian as she came out of the back room of the private jet.

The man smiled warmly. "Good, Anya, thank you. We will be departing as soon as Andreli returns."

"You're face?" The young woman asked as she touched a rather nasty cut on the man cheek. "Shall I tend to this?"

Sergei chuckled. "The tiny Princess put up a fight." He patted her hand and smile. "I am fine. Thank you."

Anya nodded. "Do we wait on Boris as well?"

"No, he will follow later." Sergei replied as he poured himself a glass of water. "When we land see that Princess Natasha is handled carefully. We do not want to endanger her or the unborn child."

"Of course, Sergei." Anya replied with a nod of her head.

Several minutes later a large man walked into the cabin of the jet carrying an unconscious Nikolas. "Put him with the princesses. Once he is secure we take off." Sergei said. The man nodded and carried Nikolas into the back where Alexis and Sam where. Minutes later the jet was on the runway and then in the air.

Across town Jax was barging into Stefan's study at Windermere. He crossed the room in several long strides and grabbed the older man by the lapels of his suit jacket. "Where are they Stefan? Where is my family?"

Though he was startled Stefan didn't show it. He pushed Jax away from him and then straightened his jacket. "What are you talking about?"

"Alexis! Sam! They're gone!" Jax yelled. "Where the hell are they, Stefan?"

it felt like a knife to his heart but before Stefan had time to react to the news of his sister and niece disappearing one of his men came running into the room. "Master Stefan! The prince! He's gone!"
