"Where Graham? Where?" I ask getting in his face as tears blur my sight, Noah gently grabs my hand and pulls me back
Graham turns to my dad, "Everything led to the Cabin" he says and I look at dad
"Where is that?" I ask him
"The place I met your mother in, we own it why would Valenciano leave her there?" he asks Graham
"Because he knows you never wanted to go back there Nikolai. Not after what happened" he says
"What happened?" Mal asks frowning. At least I'm not the only one lost here. Dad turns to us fidgeting with his watch
"Remember Zion told you I we hiding something and I shrugged it off?" He asks and we nod
"That cabin has been in my family for three generations. That's where I killed your grandfather, Johnny. Then your mother used it to cover her affair with Val and I just didn't want to go back" he explains
Well that's not too bad
"Why did you kill your father though?" I ask frowning
"He was...traditional. You hadn't even been born Rosey when he was searching for a husband to marry you off at sixteen" he explains but that's not all
"When I said no to it and every damn proposal he had for your life he took you, he didn't get too far though. The rest is just history" he says
I get the feeling that the story goes far deeper than that but now is just not the time. I have to find my daughter.
"What are we waiting for? Let's pack up and go for our little princess" Noah says
"Are you feeling well enough to go right now?" Mav asks me and I nod
"I could be recovering from a heart surgery and I'd still go. Nothing will stop me from getting her back" I say
"Always so strong" Noah whispers in my ear and kisses my cheek
Over the next hour we go home and pack our bags, I make mine first and Noah comes to my room to help me with Oak's
"Who do you think is taking care of her?" I ask past the lump in my throat while I fold some of his shirts and pack up toys
"I don't know baby, all we can do is hope she's in good hands. I'm sure she will, Valenciano wanted her in one piece after all" he says putting tons of diapers into the duffel bag
I can't wait to get him potty trained. Oakley not Noah
"What if she...has a hard time adapting to me? To us?" I ask shakily. Noah drops what he's doing and pulls my lips to his, keeping his hands on the sides of my face
"Rosey this is not the same, but people adopt babies all the time and even though everything is hard at first, it works out. Yes, it will take time but there's no one better to take care of her than you" he says looking into my eyes
