Time Skip

It was now June 12 and I was 25 weeks today so 6 months. We were still in protective custody and no one has any clue where Mark could be. Each day that went by with no news pushed me further into the darkness. As I sat in bed relaxing I wondered if my life would ever be back to normal or if I would ever see friends and family again..

"Your up." Colby said as he walked into the bedroom. "What time is it." I asked him. "It's 11:00am." He said. I nodded and Looked down at my hands. "What's wrong baby." He asked me as he sat by my legs. I just shrugged keeping my gaze on my hands as I picked at the blanket.

Colby set his hands on top of mine and I looked at him. "Talk to me love what's on your mind." He said and squeezed my hands. I sighed. "Are we ever gonna be able to go home." I said "I don't want to have our baby in protective custody I want Quin to be there like me and her always talked about, I want to bring him home to his actual room and not here I just want to go back to normal." I finished as I started to cry.

Colby scooted closer and pulled me into his arms. "I know baby and I want that to but it isn't safe for us right now" He said. We sat that way for a few minutes before we heard a commotion in the living room.

Colby stood up and helped pull me up and we walked to the living room. "What's going on." Colby asked as we entered the room. Sam and Kat walking in behind us. It was just Nole and Chris in the living room Chris on the phone.

"We got him." Nole said. I immediately broke down Colby hugged me. "Thank god." He said as Sam and Kat celebrated. Within 3 hours we were on the jet home to Vegas. When we landed I couldn't help the sigh that escaped my mouth. I was so happy to be home.

When the uber pulled into our driveway I practically jumped out of the car. I went to the garage and entered the code opening it up. I quickly walked inside and into Colby and I's room. I sat on our bed and smiled as Colby walked in with our bags.

I got up and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him catching him of guard. He chuckled when I pulled away. "I'm gonna check the mail." I said as I walked out of our room. The mail box was almost overflowing.

I brought it all inside and there was a little package for me. I opened it. It was from Lauren my birth mom. She apologized for the way she reacted to my pregnancy and even sent little blue onesies. I smiled and brought them into the nursery.

I hung them up in the closet. I all of a sudden had the urge to start hanging all his stuff and putting it away. I opened one of the gift bags that had baby clothes Colby and I had bought. I turned on Nessa Barrett on my phone and got to work.

I was almost done hanging all his clothes 20 minutes later when Colby walked into the nursery. "What you doing babe." He said. "I'm hanging all his clothes." I said. He chuckled. "Want some help." He asked me as I hung the last one.

"That was actually the last one." I said. "Damn he has a lot of clothes." Colby said as I sat in the rocking recliner. I put my hands on my belly and sighed. "Yeah he does." I said. Colby smiled and came and stood next to me.

He brushed my now sweaty hair back from my forehead. "You doing okay." He said. I nodded. "Yeah just achey." I said reaching my hand out for help to get up. Colby helped me up. "Do you wanna rest for a bit." He asked me. "No I have to organize some more stuff in here." I said "Ok don't over do it Sam and I will be in the office catching up on phone calls and email's." He said. "Okay and I promise I won't over do it." I said.

He kissed my head then left the room. I spent the next 2 hours putting away diapers and pacifiers along with toys and blankets. I grabbed the vacuum and started to vacuum of the rug and floor in the nursery. A minute after I started it shut off. "M what are you doing." Colby said walking into the nursery with the now unplugged chord.
