Finally Happy (Sequel to Tortured)

Ch 22

| Stephanie's POV |
It has now been a year since the babies have come home and I asked Matt to come live with me.
"Hey Matt lets go to the grocery store! I need more diapers and more baby food!" I yelled since he was upstairs.
"Ok let me just change!" He said back.
"Come on babies! Let's go get you guys dressed so we can go get some more food!!" I said in a baby voice to the babies.
They cooed.
"Can you change Mason while I change Marissa?!" I told Matt as he entered the babies room.
"Ok" he took Mason and laid him in his crib and got clothes for him.
In 2 more months, they were going to have their 1 birthday and I couldn't be any happier.
I grabbed a diaper and a pink shirt that said: I'm a Queen👑.
And some white leggings with black strap on sandals. And I stretchy headband that went around her head.
She was so cute.
As for Mason, Matt dressed him in a small plaid blue shirt with shorts and socks and his small black vans.
It was so adorable.
"Let's go babes!" I said and walked downstairs and grabbed the babies bag and the keys and handed the babies to Matt so he can go strap them in the car.
I walked outside making sure to lock the door and I went and turned on the car and me and Matt switched so he could drive and I went on the passenger seat. (Shotgun!)
"Let's go!" Matt said.
The babies laughed.
We drove while listening to music and Matt singing and the babies admiring their loving yet immature father.
I couldn't help but feel so grateful that things turned out the way they did. I haven't been this happy for a long time.
I decided to take a picture and post it on twitter.
"Let's take a picture!" I say lowering the music.
"Yass!! Ok babies smile like daddy!" Matt said making the most cheesiest smile.
And the babies made a really cheesy smile also.
I captioned it: Nothing better than driving with the three most important and awesome people in my life!❤️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 @TheMattEspinosa
We got to the grocery store and I got Mason and Matt got Marissa.
I locked the car and I headed inside and headed towards the vegetable section. I picked out some vegetables while Matt took the babies to look at some toys.
I had picked out tomatoes, avocados, onion, and a bunch of other necessities.
I walked into the baby food section and chose 3 different types of baby foods and some baby cookies for the babies to suck on.
I pushed the cart and ran into Matt, who was sweating and looking scared out of his mind.
"Matt what's wrong!?" I asked scared. "Where are the babies!!" I said even more freaked out when I saw his bloody lip.
He didn't answer he was trying to catch his breath.
"Matt!!" I said.
"They- they took them!" He said starting too cry.
I couldn't think. I dropped everything and ran for the exit with Matt following close behind.
The tears were starting to fall and I couldn't stop them.
I got to the car and uncontrollably looked for the keys in my purse. Finally Matt caught up too me.
"How?! How did this happen?!" I asked him still sobbing.
| Matt's POV |
I took the babies and took them to the baby section.
I saw a toy that they might like and want to chew on since their teeth are coming in.
I gave it to them and they started shaking it.
Then all of a sudden I heard someone say hey.
I turned around and three people wearing black covering their face were standing behind me.
"Can I help you?" I asked them.
"Give us the babies." The man in the middle said.
"Excuse me? No" I said.
"Give us the babies!" He demanded.
"No! What's wrong with you!" I said and stated walking away.
Then they came up to me and they roughly took the babies from my arms and they ran off.
I thought I was hallucinating.
But I wasn't. At first I ran to catch up to them and then I bumped into a cart that was being carried by Stephanie.
"Matt what's wrong?" She asked scared.
I didn't answer because I was trying to catch my breath.
"Where are the babies?!!" She asked even more freaked out when she saw my bloody lip.
I still couldn't talk.
"Matt!!" She finally said.
"They- they took them!" I said once I gained my breath and tears started falling from my eyes and she dropped everything and ran towards the exit and I ran behind her.
She got to the car and I got to her and she was looking for the keys uncontrollably.
"How? How did this happen?!!" She asked sobbing.
"Well we were at the baby toys and then these three dudes came up to me telling me to give them the babies and I hesitated and then they beat me up and ran off. that's why I was sweating and have the bloody lip when I bumped into you because I was running after them!" I said sobbing.
"I can't even think straight! Matt I want my babies back!" She said and by now we were driving back home.
"Stephanie don't worry we'll get the babies back! I'll call the police!" I said and we pulled up to the driveway and we rushed inside.
I dialed 911.
911- 911 what's your emergency?
M- my babies Have been kidnapped! Please send the police right away to Anne Dr. 282 Woodbridge, Virginia!
911-help is on the way
I hung up and went upstairs to see Stephanie talking to someone on the phone.
"Thanks Cameron see you soon." She said hanging up and crying.
"Baby the police are coming! Do you want to give them a picture?" I asked.
"Well no shit I need too!" She said.
"I'm sorry I should've just stayed with you and this would never be happening!" I said crying.
"No then they would've followed us home and it would've been worse they would've probably killed us and then tooken us!" She said.
"Why does this have to happen to us?!" I asked.
"I don't know! Cameron's catching the next flight here. He'll be here in 7 hours" She said.
We heard the doorbell ring.
"I'll get it while you get the pictures." I said.
I walked downstairs and it was the police.
"We have a reported kidnapping. Is this the right residence?" They asked.
"Yes it is" I said.
"Ok we'd like to ask you a few questions." he said.
"Go ahead." I said.
"What are the babies names?" He asked.
"Marissa Espinosa Dallas and Mason Taylor Espinosa Dallas." I said.
"Where was the last time you had the babies?" He asked.
"At Grocery Outlet" I said.
"What did the people who took the baby look like? How did they take them?" He asked.
"They were wearing back and covering their faces so I couldn't see me and they attacked me from behind and they just took them away from means started running and I ran towards them but then lost them." I said wanting to cry again just by talking about it.
"What did these babies look like?" He asked.
"Umm let me go get a picture." I said walking upstairs and finding Stephanie still crying.
"Baby they need photos.." I said picking her up from the ground and carrying her downstairs with the pictures.
She handed the pictures to the officers and they kept the pictures.
They left and soon we were left alone.
This night we didn't sleep a wink.
