Family adventure 2: The return.

Chapter 5.

Ali groaned, it's been almost a full year since Nikolas has been gone. He's been making trips all over the world with Su-Han's help and it's gotten him no where.

Chris has been born. He's one month and he and Layla are very tired.

First baby: Nikolas - cries like a normal baby. Second baby: Nino - doesn't really cry as much thankfully. Third baby: Chris - cries like his life depends on it.

That boy's lungs must be made with steel or something with how he cries.

Layla is right now at training as she's applied for a student nurse position at this point. Trying to become an actual nurse and help people. And she's extremely emotional. With having a baby only a month ago plus being extremely busy with medical school and Nikolas still missing, she's got a lot of emotions going on right now.

He groaned as he closed another book. Trying to find anything to help him find his son.

He can't believe that the police turned everything into a cold case. Believing Nikolas to be dead.

His son isn't dead.

He refuses to believe that.

Kila said Nikolas was at the Temple. He went flying over to see if he was and saw Su-Han shouting at her.

Kila doesn't know what's going on with Su-Han only that he has a special hidden student.

Ali still believed that to be Nikolas to this day.

He's been looking around the Temple late at night whenever he's there.

He heard Nikolas speaking to Lorr and when he goes to a certain area Nikolas isn't there.

Even Feneikk has tried finding Nikolas and nothing.

So whoever has Nikolas? Their being very careful.

He knows that either Su-Han or James has taken Nikolas.

He needs to find James now.

Suddenly the door opened.

Ali looked up and a teary eyed Nino came in.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong?" Ali asked as he went to give Nino a bear hug. Thank god Chris is sleeping.

"When is Nick coming back?" Nino sobbed.

Ali sighed, "I don't know. I know it's been ages."

"Why does James keep coming back for Nickie?! Wasn't one time enough!?" Nino screamed.

"It should have been son." Ali said. His heart was breaking over how sad his second child was.

Had he failed them both now? One is missing and now his other is crying over his mistake.

Oh god... Chris is gonna have a awful father.

He can't even protect his first two kids! Never mind his third!

"What's happening in here?" Layla asked. She was giving a weak smile. He knew she was just as upset but putting on a brave face for Nino.

"I want Nicholas!" Nino sobbed.

"I know, we do too. But we have to give this more time. Me and your father are doing everything we can if no one else is." Layla said.

Ali nodded, "We won't rest even if years go by."

Nino hiccuped, "Okay. What can I do? I want my big brother."

"Just help us take care of Chris." Layla smiled, "And we'll make sure Chris knows about Nicholas so that he isn't forgotten, right?"
