*FOUR WEEKS LATER*

*JOHN*

"No, Mom, I haven't heard anything," I say as I talk to my mom. It has been four weeks since Natalie has gone missing and there has been no word from her or any word on her. It's like she has completely disappeared from the face of the Earth. I just don't know what to do. Ashley is missing as well and so is Max. They all seem to be gone so I'm willing to bet that Max, Ashley and Natalie are in the same place. God help Natalie. They have not stopped searching for her but they haven't had any luck in any searches. I feel like my heart is broken into pieces I just got Natalie back and now she's gone again. I need her back. I need my baby. I am so worried about them. There have been lots of tips but nothing really helpful.

"I hope they find her soon. There is no telling what that poor girl is going through," says my mom.

"I know, Mom. I can't even imagine the hell she's facing. What if she's dead? What if her and the baby are dead?" I ask as I feel myself choke on my words.

"Johnny, don't think like that. You have to stay positive especially for Angelina. How is she doing?" she asks.

"She's taking it hard," I say. "She cries every night and every day. She wants her mom back and I don't know how to make her stop hurting because I want her mom back too. Natalie didn't deserve this. This is my fault. If I had listened to her nothing would have happened and she'd still be here and unharmed. I had just gotten a restraining order against Ashley that day and it was too late. I will never forgive myself if something happens to Natalie or the baby. I will never forgive Ashley if she hurts Natalie or the baby. I might kill her if she takes Natalie and my baby from me. I will kill her, Mom."

"Johnny, don't talk like that. What is that going to do? Nothing just take Angelina's father away. Angelina needs you no matter what happens but I am very sure Natalie is alive if anything I believe Ashley took her so that she could take the baby to get you back."

"Natalie is only 29 weeks pregnant. There is no way she can keep her for another 11 weeks," I say.

"She could try," she says.

"And then what? What happens to Natalie?" I ask. It does seem like something that Ashley would do. She is definitely crazy enough to pull something like this off.

"I don't' know, John," says my mom as Angelina comes in the room.

"Mom, I have to go. I will have to talk to you later. Angelina just walked in the room," I say.

"All right," she says. "I love you, Johnny and tell Angelina I love her."

"I will. I love you too, Mom," I say.

"And give her a big hug and a kiss for me," she says.

"Absolutely. Bye, Mom."

"Bye," she says before I hang up the phone.

"Hey, Princess," I say to Angelina.

"Hi, Daddy," she says sadly.

"What are you up to?" I ask as I sit down next to her on the couch.

"Nothing," she says sadly. "I wish Mommy was here."

"Me too," I say, "so tomorrow is a big day; it's your 8th birthday? Want to do anything special?"

"No. I don't want to celebrate," she says. "I have nothing to celebrate. I just want to do nothing."

"Are you sure? We can go out to eat and go shopping," I say.

"No, Daddy, I don't want to," she says.

"And your party is this weekend. Are you excited?"

"I guess but not really," she says. "I just wish mommy could be here."

"Me too," I say, "but you know what they are out looking for her and they are going to find her," I say as I wrap my arm around her to comfort her. Angelina hasn't been herself since her mom disappeared. She hasn't been to school in weeks but they understand the situation, she hasn't eaten much and she's just not happy like she used to be.

"That's what you have been saying but they didn't find her yet. I really miss her, Daddy."

"Me too," I say as I kiss the top of her head.

"Is God watching her, Daddy?"

"Of course," I say.

"Then why didn't he bring her home yet or let them find her yet?" she asks.

"I'm not sure," I say. I don't know how to answer her question because I want to know myself.

"I just want her to come home. It would be great if she came home for my birthday," she says, "but I doubt that is going to happen."

"Anything is possible," I say but I don't' want to get her hopes up for nothing.

"Whatever," she says.

"So do you think you want to go to school tomorrow?" I ask.

"No," she says. "I don't want to go to school."

"You know you have to go back some time," I say. "You can't stay home forever."

"Just like you can't stay home from work forever," she says. She got me and she's right I can't stay home from work forever. I haven't been to work in weeks but Vince understands and told me to take all the time I need. I'm not sure if I'm going to go back and if something happens to Natalie I definitely won't go back because of Angelina.

"I know," I say.

"So when are you going back to work?"

"I don't know," I say.

"Then I'm not going back to school," she says. "And you can't make me."

"I can make you but I won't," I say, "because I know exactly how you feel."

"Okay," she says. "I'm ready to go to bed."

"Already?"

"Yes," she says. "I just want to go to bed. Goodnight."

"Goodnight," I say as I watch her walk upstairs. It breaks my heart even more to see her so upset. I wish this wasn't happening and I wish that Natalie was back and I wish they would find her. I just want Angelina to be happy again; I want to be happy again.

About 30 minutes later I go upstairs to check on Angelina to make sure she's all right. I stop outside her door as I hear her praying, "Dear, God, I really want my mommy to come home soon. I really want her to be found. It would be great if she could be home for my birthday but it doesn't have to be as long as she comes home soon. I really miss her. I know you're watching her so if it isn't any trouble please just let her be found," she says and a tear falls from my eyes. "Amen," she says as she gets into her bed.

"Ange," I say.

"Daddy," she says, "will you lay down with me? I'm scared."

"Absolutely," I say before I walk into the bedroom. I lay down in the bed next to her and she cuddles up against me. "Good night, Angelina."

"Good night, Daddy, I love you."

"I love you too," I say as I kiss the top of her head.

*ONE HOUR LATER*

I am woken up by my cell phone ringing. I look beside me and Angelina is still asleep. I slowly get out of her bed and walk out of the room to answer my phone. I see that it is the detective on the case so I answer it as fast as possible. "Hello?"

"Mr. Cena," he says, "we found your girlfriend."

"You found her?" I ask.

"We found her."
