Chapter 54

Jamie smiled as she headed for the bathroom, hoping that everything would work out, hoping that Shane wouldn't be suspicious and not let her go in there alone, like he had done the first day he had let her out. He smiled as she started for the bathroom and grabbed her around the middle.

"You know what I was thinking?" Shane asked her softly.

"No, what?" Jamie asked, hoping her voice didn't sound as anxious as she was feeling. She had to make sure he didn't know what was going through her mind and he didn't know that she was planning on making a break for it.

"I was thinking it might be a good idea if you and I get a number for a great divorce lawyer and we start looking for a doctor to deliver the babies and make sure that they get to Hunter, to cut our last links to that man." Shane said as he leaned in and kissed her forehead.

"Well, we can do that today if that is what you want to do." Jamie said nodding her head, knowing that if she didn't play along then he would get suspicious. "Now if you don't mind, I really think one of them is pressing against my bladder, and I know it will only get worse as I get further along." She said, forcing a smile and making a face, which clearly put him at ease, now she could only hope she could get out of the house before he knew what she was doing and she could only hope that there was no alarm on the window and that the window would open, because if there was a problem with it, then she would never get home to the man she loved.


Hunter could tell that everyone was trying to help him figure this whole thing out. Tyler and Edge were sitting in the room, as happy as they were about having their own child, they were trying to hide it, knowing it was really hard for Hunter to face life without his wife and the unborn twins she was carrying inside of her at the moment. They all knew that Shane had to have something to do with it, now it was a question about whether anyone knew where he could have taken her and whether he was going to keep those babies alive or whether he was going to decide to kill the babies because they were Hunter's and not Shane's.

"I am sure that Shane isn't going to want to do anything that would hurt Jamie or make her hate him, he wants her to love him." Tyler said softly, not wanting to upset Hunter.

"Look, everything is going to be fine." Alex said with a sigh.

"We are positive that Jamie is going to find a way out of this." Jason said with a smirk.

"Yeah, we all know our Jamie and we know that she would never ever let Shane win or do anything that could harm those babies, she was devastated over the loss of your other child and she would never want to let you lose those babies inside of her now or her, she won't let him win this battle, not our Jamie." Michael spoke up, nodding his head in agreement with everyone else.

"Well then, I am guessing we are going to need to make sure that we take real good care of this, and we are going to need to make sure that everything is ready for her when she gets home. She is going to need to rest and she is going to need to be protected and we are going to need to get the cops to arrest Shane and a retraining order to be issued keeping him as far away from this house and us as we can get him." Hunter said as he picked up a picture of Jamie. "The holidays are coming soon, we have to make sure she is home for the holidays, she has to be here."

"She will be Hunter, I know she will be." Tyler said with a smile as she cuddled close to Edge, smiling more as he rubbed her belly where their child was resting. She knew that Hunter was trying not to show how much it was hurting him to see her and Edge getting excited over having their baby, but she was so appreciative that he was trying to still be there as any good friend would be.


Jamie walked into the bathroom and took a deep breath. She locked the door softly behind her and grabbed her stash, double checking to see that it hadn't been tampered with. She checked the windowsill to make sure there was no wires or hook ups, looked for where the lock would be at and managed to get the window open without making a sound. She winced when she felt how freezing cold it was outside and she wondered if she was being stupid but this was her only chance. She slowly and carefully climbed out of the window and then she took off running as fast as she could with her pregnant belly and hoping she made it to the road before Shane realized she was gone. She really hoped someone would be driving, someone who would help her and get her to the police or a hospital and allow her to get Hunter to her before Shane could get to her. She was praying that she was going to be home for the holidays and that she was going to have the rest of this pregnancy progress at home with her husband, the one person she was missing more than anything.

Jamie ran and she ran, only stopped to open the water bottle and take some small sips. When she finally found the road she was shocked, and wondered how she could get so lucky as to see a police car driving down the road, now if she could just get him to stop and see her, to understand that she had been kidnapped and find a way to get her home to the man she loved, and soon.
