Thank you to anyone reading this.

I'm enjoying writing my stories on my profile anyway. I like what's happening here.

Gwen and Tyler have been missing since their late teens to early twenties.

They took a long drive home (or so they had said) and didn't end up there.

The RCMP had been notified of the disappearance of the young couple who, according to reports were officially engaged .

"Last seen outside a friend's home in Ontario in 2018, Gwen Ingrid and Fiance Tyler Kennard were last seen driving through the Canadian back roads, according to witnesses who saw them in British Colombia near the infamous Highway of Tears"... The reporter announced.

The snow had fallen outside and The Algolen house, adorned in Christmas festivites. Married couple Lindsay and Geoff were watching the news while Noah and Emma sipped on egg nog and discussed the disappearance with Bridgette and a more subdued Alejandro who were visiting Canada for the holidays.

The news of their school friends ongoing disappearance shocked many people and Trent was heavy with sadness.

Courtney held Trent close while she watched the news with small tears in her eyes. "I just can't believe it's been so long" she wept into Trent's chest.

Lindsay held her stomach and wept while Geoff consoled her. "It's going to be okay babe, we have our girl to think of okay?"

he held back an anxious breath. Geoff adored his Wife and together the two of them had created a new happy life together but they couldn't properly rest until they knew at least some conclusive proof or evidence could be found on the two suspected runaways who were now being classified as Endangered Missing.

Lindsay kissed her husband on the cheek and reminded Geoff she loved him but worried for Tyler. Obviously Gwen was weighing on her mind but Tyler was her first true love outside of frivolous prepubescent innocence which took place in middle school.

Tyler was Lindsay's first real kiss, first real sexual encounter and first love the same Gwen was for Trent.

"Hey Lindsay," Courtney pressed her hand on the nicely dressed pregnant womens shoulder. I know it's really rough okay?" "I understand what's going on"... "We are all worried but at least we have each other."

"It's just so hard" Lindsay quavered.

Courtney nodded, she then asked if she could speak to her friend in private.

Lindsay had Courtney snervously with the snowglobe on one of the dressers.

"Uh, Lindsay... I have news" she had tears streaming from her hazel eyes.

Lindsay looked worried. "Oh no, what's wrong?" she waddled over to Courtney .

"It's alright I'll be fine, you sit down Mama to be" she then smiled and placed a hand on Lindsay's neatly dressed purple Lilac dressed stomach.

"I'm.sorry I just, it's so exciting " Courtney gushed.

Lindsay tapped her belly and giggled for the first time in awhile.

"Tap away"..."I do have to ask..." Lindsay looked at her friend with bright eyes.

Courtney patted her stomach and nodded.

"Okay, yes" she whispered.

"I'm telling you and well you're gonna tell Geoff because I'm only six weeks" she said quietly.

"Oh my goodness" "Congrats" Lindsay was able to wrap her 28 week third trimester self round Courtney.

The long haired brunette in purple and red silk pants hugged Lindsay back. "It's really early and no one but Trent and my Parents know"

Lindsay understood the rules and regulations of pregnancy. She had been careful to wait until she was twelve weeks pregnant to decrease the miscarriage risk which it did.

Her Parents, Older sister, and Geoff made sure Lindsay was careful and well looked after during her early stages of pregnancy and the two trimesters which saw many changes in the body and mood.

With the rising tension of Tyler and Gwen still missing this was not helping Lindsay's state of mind or anyone's but the poor woman was throwing up alot due to stress and hormones.

It seemed the worst was over once their little girl started kicking at 23 weeks and then when the third trimester hit, Lindsay started to feel hungry again. Christmas was on the horizon and it was the perfect time to indulge with the impending birth.

Courtney and Lindsay were able to briefly forget the sadness and focus on their happiness and the joy of Christmas. Over the years the two had found themselves becoming friends mainly due to the fact they were both in the same place while the others scattered. They shared alot of things with one another they never in a million years thought possible.

Unfortunately even with Bridgettes friendship between the girls, Geoff always felt strange around her and Alejandro so out of respect for that Lindsay adhered to her Husband's wishes as did the couple who moved overseas not long after finishing their studies. It was only this missing couple that led them back. They were the first couple to leave and didn't stay for dinner which Geoff appreciated. He also througholy appreciated his Wife's support. He made sure she knew this in many ways and she was grateful.

It was late that evening when Lindsay and Geoff were finally alone in the house and the December night fell that a knock was heard at that door. In the depths of her heart Lindsay really thought Tyler and Gwen would answer but alas it wasn't them.

"I'm happy for Courtney and Trent" Geoff stated as he went to get the door.

Lindsay winked. "Hush Hush baby".."It's a secret for now"

Geiff gave his beautiful wife a kids and went to get the door while she waited in the lounge. He unlocked the handle dressed in a Christmas red shirt and Matching green pants for the holidays while his Wife was already cosy in her light festive night robe with reindeer on.

"Good evening..." ..."Oh" Geoff gasped.

In a tight red dress with matching stockings and black boots was Heather, pretty as a vogue cover holding hands with her Husband wearing matching wedding rings.

He wore a black tie and Tuxedo. ...

"Who is it Honey?"

Lindsay sweetly called out.

"Why don't you take a wild guess blondie?"

Duncan jeered holding up a large bottle of Jager.
