LOSE EACH OTHER (I'M ENDING IT.)

C

Even though I could not sleep I was glad she asleep but she was also fully rested as she kept wrinkling her face from time to time and mumbling incoherently. Even though I should have been enjoying being in the same bed again with her so soon, I was exhausted from trying to think of where Veronica could have taken my sons. If there was a place I missed to check and why she even took them since we have not seen her for months. I tried not to think of how she was treating them because I might just lose the composure I have and cause Amina to worry more. I feared a lot of things for my sons since I learnt I had them but never kidnapping. One never imagined something like this would happen to them.

" Kay..."

" I'm here love."

I turned to her thinking she had woken up but she was mumbling in her sleep again. I grabbed her hand and smiled I do not remember when the last time was that she had called me by Kay, her nickname for me. Even though it was in a semi-conscious state, it still gave me joy.

" Relax we will find our boys."

Was it wrong that I hoped this brought us closer together. In all this chaos I just wanted my family back, back in so many definitions. I wanted my sons back home safe. I wanted her back home, in my bed and I in her heart. The phone rang startling the both of us.

" It's Logan?"

Amina had grabbed it since it was in he side of the bed and handed it to me. Logan was the detective I had reported the boys missing to but we have known each other way longer than that. I put the hone to my ear hoping for good news.

" The boys have been found."

I mouthed to her and she jumped out of he'd to change and I changed into sweats while on the phone. She came out a few minutes later in the same black sweat two piece. Different brand but we looked like a matching couple. She smiled shaking her head and I smiled back. For that short moment it felt like old times and I wanted to stay like that forever.

" Where are they?"

" They took them to the hospital to get checked."

" What? Did she do something to them?"

" No, it's protocol in any kidnapping case."

" How did they find them and where is Vero?"

" They have her in custody and she was caught trying to cross the border with them about an hour forty minutes ago. They delayed calling because she tried to escape."

I could not tell her she had the boys in the trunk of the car, mouth covered and tied up to prevent them from moving. It was hard for me to keep calm, so I knew she would go crazy and want to kill somebody.

" She must have thought the police would not be around this late in the night."

" I guess. I've never been so happy for roadblocks before."

As soon as I found a parking spot Amina was out the car. I hoped we would go in together but thanks to the elevator, she had to wait. The boys were engulfed in a big hug as soon as she got off the pediatric floor. Thank heavens.
