Campbell These past few weeks have been crazy; from working to Dr. appointments with Mary, to everything in between. We hadn't had much time together lately, so I decided to stop by her store. But instead of seeing the usual stream of customers coming in and out, it was surrounded by police cars. The entrance was barricaded by tape. Instantly I started worrying and ducked under the tape. "Excuse me miss- you can't be here. The store is closed." An officer said to me shortly. I didn't recognize any of them, so it must be a different station than Mason's. "No, I'm not here to shop. What's going on?" I asked urgently. "We can't tell you. You have to leave." He said, putting a hand on my shoulder and leading me out. I stopped and stood my ground. "No. Marry is carrying my baby. She's our surrogate mother." I said. Tears filled my eyes and he bit his lip, feeling bad. For a minute he left to go talk to someone and came back. "The Millers aren't here- we don't know where they are. They've been stealing from bank accounts for almost a year- have acquired over 5 million dollars. Something must have happened and they ran. We think they left the country." He said. Nothing he said stopped the panic. Shakily, I called Mason.

Mason I answered the phone when I saw it was Campbell. "Hey hun, what's up? I'm really busy." I said as I typed a report. "You know the station has been busy. You usually don't call unless..." That when I paused and could here her sniffling. "What's wrong?" I asked urgently.

Campbell I couldn't help but start crying. Everyone around me was busy and moving around, not noticing me. I felt so alone. "Mary and Jake... are gone...They left... I don't know what to do." I cried.

Mason "I'll be right there." I said. I got up and hastily left the office. When I got to the store, I shined my babe and got into the building. "Campbell?" I joked over to her and wrapped my arms around her. "Where did they go?" I whispered.

Campbell Being with him just made me more upset. "I don't know- they don't know." I cried.

Mason I rubbed her back. I wanted to cry with her but I had to keep it together. "We'll find them. We'll get our baby back." I told her. "Now who's in charge here?" I asked.

Campbell "I don't know- I talked to him earlier." I pointed to the man behind the register looking at papers another officer.

Mason I nodded. "Stay here. I'll be right back." I walked over and held up my badge and started trying to get info.

Sage I just bit my lip hard and stood there. Finally a kind police officer came up to me and lead me to a chair, then got me a cup of water. Not really thinking about it I took a sip.

Mason I came back a few minutes after and sat with her. "We're going to find them." I said, not sure what else to say.

Campbell "That just your way of saying I don't know, isn't it." I said a bit sharply . I wasn't trying to be mean, I was just scared. "They said they probably fled the country. How much can we do then?" I asked softly.

Mason I looked her in the eye. "I will find them Campbell. I will not lose my baby again." I said firmly.

Campbell I wiped my tears. "This is all my fault. You said you had a bad feeling about them and I didn't listen." I cried.

Mason I wrapped my arms around her. "Shh. I didn't think about it either." I said.

Cambell I wiped my tears. "What if... We never figure out the gender?" I asked with a whisper. We could have figured it out about a month ago, but we decided to wait. I regretted that now.
