Cason, Ashton, and I all walked into the little gym where Cason would be playing basketball. Tonight is his first game and he was so excited. Ashton and I paid for our entry and walked in, finding Cason's coach and some other kids on his team with their parents. The only way we know who they are is from the meeting we had about the league.

The coach talked to us briefly and then took the kids to the court. Ashton and I found a seat on the bleachers up against the wall,

"He's so excited" Ashton chuckled, watching Cason 'warm up' with his team. Cason was dribbling all around. He actually wasn't bad at it for being so little,

"I'm worried about his knee" I sighed. Ashton took my hand,

"He's okay. He'll tell us if it hurts" he assured, making me nod.

The game soon started and it was probably the cutest thing I've seen. They were all just running around with the ball, occasionally dribbling. At one point, Cason took the ball from a kid on the other team and ran down the court, stopping by the goal, shooting, and making the basket. Both Ashton and I cheered as Cason just grinned at us.

When the game ended, Cason ran to Ashton and me. Ashton swiftly picked him up as I took his water bottle,

"Mommy! Daddy! I score!" he beamed,

"I know buddy! You did so good" I grinned, kissing his cheek,

"How about we go get tacos since you played so good?" Ashton suggested. Cason nodded fast as we exited the gym and got into Ashton's car.

As we headed to the Mexican restaurant, the car was relatively silent except for the music on the radio. Ashton's hand was holding mine in my lap and he'd occasionally give my hand a loving squeeze. It's been a hectic day and will continue to be after dinner, but right now it was calm.

"After we eat" Ashton spoke up, "I'll take you and Cas back to yours. Then I'll run by Cal's because he needs me for some reason, and then I'll come back to yours"

I nodded and began playing with the rings on his fingers. All day we've been packing my house and will do that well past midnight,

"As long as you're sleeping next to me tonight" I cheesed,

"Always"

After Ashton took Cason and me home, I gave Cason a bath and let him settle on the couch with a movie so I could shower.

I got out and dried off, throwing on a pair of cotton shorts and one of Ashton's shirts I stole.

I left my bathroom and walked out to the living room. Cason wasn't there but I could see and hear movement in the kitchen. I walked in and saw Ashton and Cason watching the microwave as popcorn popped,

"Hi Mommy" Cason giggled,

"Hi baby" I laughed, kissing his cheek and Ashton's lips,

"I figured we could watch a movie" Ashton spoke. I nodded and decided I'd grab us drinks. I grabbed two cups and Cason's Lightning McQueen sippy cup out and put ice in both. I filled Cason's with some Sprite and mine and Ashton's with Diet Coke.

Cason ran ahead of Ashton and me to my room. We were gonna watch it there apparently, which is fine. We'd be sleeping in there anyway so already having Cason there works. We took his bed apart and took it over to Ashton's so he's been sleeping with us the past couple of days.

When Ashton and I entered my room, Cason was on of the bed with his back up against the mountain of pillows I have on it- something Ashton's not looking forward to when we are officially moved in together,

"What are we watching Cas Cas?" Ashton asked, sitting next to him in the middle of the bed. I sat next to Ashton and handed Cason his snippy cup and baby bowl of popcorn,

"Toy Story!" he yelled, making Ashton and I groan,

"We watched that last night. How about we pick something else?" I suggested. Cason nodded and thought,

"Tigger?" He asked,

"We can watch The Tigger Movie" Ashton nodded. I grabbed the remote and got the movie on while Ashton pulled the covers over the three of us. I cuddled into Ashton's side as we shared a bowl of popcorn.

As predicted, Cason was asleep in minutes. Ashton and I finished the popcorn then got up and snuck out of the room, shutting the door behind us.

We headed into the kitchen and started packing some things up. While in the middle of it, there was a knock at my front door. I furrowed my eyebrows and followed Ashton to the door. It's ten at night, who the hell is at the door?

Ashton opened the door and my heart dropped at the sight of my mom standing there,

"What are you doing here?" I spit, standing slightly behind Ashton,

"I'm here for my grandson," she told me like I should have known,

"Well you're not seeing him" Ashton spoke for me. That's when she laughed,

"That's where you're wrong" she chuckled and walked back towards the car in my driveway. I looked up at Ashton and that's when I heard my son yell. Ashton and I took off sprinting to my room where the only trace that Cason was there was the stuffed Pluto on the bed.

My son was gone.

My parents kidnapped my son.
