Chapter 53

Jamie was rubbing her belly and trying so hard to keep herself as calm as a person could in her situation. The chain around her ankle was rubbing and chafing, she was bleeding underneath it. She tried to keep herself on the mattress, following the bed rest orders of her doctor, even if they were in this dark damp room. She had been given another blanket at least, she was shivering badly and she knew that Shane didn't care. She was going to get sick, she was going to lose her babies and probably her life if she didn't find a way out of there. She was wondering if she could find a way to trick him into giving her a little bit of freedom. Her belly was bigger, she knew she had been here for a while and she hadn't been fighting him, hoping to get him to think he was winning her over. Suddenly she heard the door open and he walked into the room.

"How long have I been here, Shane?" She asked politely, batting her eyelashes and hoping she didn't gag. She just needed him to give her a chance to leave this room, unchained. She needed a chance to run. She knew the first time he let her out of the room she couldn't attempt it, she would need to get him to let his guard down, it would take a few turns out of the hellhole she had been living in.

"A month Jamie. Are you ready to come up there and act like a civilized person?" Shane asked her smugly.

"Yes Shane." Jamie said softly. She wanted to slam her fist into his fist, but she had to think of the two little ones inside of her. "Can you get me prenatal vitamins at least Shane, please? Even if you don't want me to keep them, I can at least carry them and give them to Hunter." She said softly, not wanting to anger him.

Shane seemed to stop and think about that for a second and he smiled. "That's a sweet idea darling. We can give him the babies to remember you by, because you will be married to me and carrying our babies later on."

Jamie wanted to gag but she knew she had to agree, it was the only chance she would have. "Yes Shane." She said, and she was proud that she didn't wince when she said it.

"Come on, let us clean up that ankle." Shane said as he unlocked the chain and she slowly got to her feet. She was even more proud that she didn't slam her knee into him and her fist into his face. She didn't know where she was, she needed to find information out before she attempted anything.

"Thank you Shane." Jamie said with a fake grateful smile on her face.

"Your welcome darling." Shane said, proud of himself.

Hunter was not all right. He was barely eating or sleeping, he was constantly going into the room that would become the nursery for the twins, if he even got his children and his wife home safe and sound. Hunter knew that Jamie would do whatever it took to get their babies safe, to keep them alive and healthy inside of her, and so he couldn't be angry if she befriended Shane, she would do whatever it took. What worried him, was that she was supposed to be resting and stress free, and it was possible that the stress of trying to think of ways to get home to him, would be making things worse for her, and could kill their babies inside of her. Hunter was scared out of his mind that he would lose his wife and their unborn twins, and he would get them back in a body bag and he would be planning a funeral, instead of getting the nursery ready and buying clothes. Already people were sending him a bunch of things that babies would need, making sure that they were gender neutral, like white onsies. He also had a ton of diapers and wipes, and he had already gotten the list of things they would need for the twins put together.

"Jamie, I promise not to be angry, just please baby, find a way to come home to me with our babies, please." Hunter murmured, agony echoing in his voice.

"Hunter, everything will work out just fine." Shawn said as he walked into the room. Shawn had recently been around a lot more for his best friend. They had been in DX together, they had broken apart and gotten back together many times, but they had been best friends for so long. No matter what the script was or whatever Vince was about, Shawn would find a way to stand by his friend.

"I hope so, because I won't survive without my wife and my babies Shawn, I won't make it. If I lose them, then I won't be around, you'll lose me." Hunter whispered, scaring his long time friend who could see the truth of those words as they were echoed.

Jamie was getting angry, Shane was making it seem like they were a happily married couple. She was trying to keep it together, to remember the goal, of being let out enough to learn where she was and where she was supposed to be able to run away from. She had been let out for the past three days, and her ankle was a little sore. She was rubbing her baby bump and she realized, after three days, she knew where she was and she knew the only way out was too run. Shane kept the car keys on him, and she was locked up every night. She had seen the bathroom window, and she knew that was the only way out and she would only have a certain amount of time. So she got ready and she went to the bathroom to make a run for it. She had hidden a bottle of water and a few granola bars in there, hoping she would make it to the road and get help as soon as possible. She would have to hide from Shane, she just hoped this worked, because if it didn't, she wouldn't have another chance. She almost wondered if she should hold it off, but if she waited till she got any further along, she wouldn't be able to run and she wouldn't make it out of the window, so it meant now or never, she just hoped everything went according to plan, or this was it, she would die here, and she knew it.
