Noah was feeling devastated and heartbroken. He was feeling like he had lost everything. He had lost Samantha, and he had lost the babies. He was feeling like he had lost his future and had nothing left.
Noah felt like he should have been more attentive to her feelings, paid more attention to the signs that there was something wrong. That she hadn't gotten over what happened when she was kidnapped by Liam. Maybe she was still afraid Liam would come back. They didn't know where he was. But Samantha could have talked to him, told him how she felt and her fears.
How could she do this? Noah wiped at the tears staring at the fallen note.
Two weeks later Noah and his parents had hired a private investigator. They were determined to find Samantha and bring her home. They were also determined to find Liam, and bring him to justice for what he had done to her.
His parents had told him to give her two weeks, because probably she needed time to deal with what happened alone, and if they didn't hear from her after that then they would move forward and take some steps.
Noah felt conflicted about his parent's advice. On one hand he agreed that maybe she needed space, and give her that and wait. On the other hand, Noah was feeling like that was too much time, especially with the babies delivery date so close. He felt like they were being passive and not taking enough action.
Well the two weeks had come and gone and there was no word from Samanatha. Noah had almost gone out of his mind waiting and the only thing that had grounded him was being in her room and the nursery. In those unstable times, when he felt he couldn't take the wait anymore, he would go to their house and her and the babies things gave him comfort. Doing that was the only way he didn't go over the edge. He would sit hugging something of hers and picture her there, or it it would remind him that she was still out there, and that he would find her.
The PI was on the hunt now but Noah was feeling like he had to do something because he couldn't handle the waiting and uncertainty. He couldn't just sit back and wait, on the PI while Samantha and the babies were missing. He had to act now, to find her and to protect her and the babies. Take the bull by the horn and do something meaningful to find her.
He went to see her parents hoping to find her mother alone, and not have to deal with her controlling dad who had thrown Samantha out. Her dad would definitely not give him any information even if he knew.
Talking to Samantha's mom was Noah's best bet. He was hoping to talk to her and get information on where she might be. He doubted that Samantha would confide in her parents but Noah had to start somewhere. He just wanted to know if her mom had heard from her or had any idea where she'd be. He was just hoping no drama would ensue, if he came across her dad.
