"Gabby! Cut that out." Katherine looked at Gabby as she held onto the back of the couch to stand up. She bounced and laughed. Grabbing her toy again, she threw it behind the couch and laughed. Katherine looked to where she threw it before looking at her. Gabby bounced and laughed. "See, now I'm not going to pick it up." Gabby stopped laughing.
"Ah!"
"No."
"Ahh!"
"No." Gabby moved closer. "I'm not picking it up." Gabby hit Katherine's shoulder. She lightly popped her hand. "Don't hit me." Gabby looked at her hand and back at Katherine. Her bottom lip quivered before she started crying. She lost her balance and sat on the couch as she cried harder. "Cut all that out." Gabby crawled over to her lap and pulled herself back up. Sitting down in her lap, she laid her head against Katherine. "Aww, I'm sorry for popping you."
Katherine picked her up and hugged her. Gabby laid her head on her shoulder as she rubbed her back. "But you can't be disobeying and hitting grandma. There are consequences to our actions." Gabby calmed down as Katherine continued rubbing her back.
"What was all that crying?" Joseph came in.
"Someone was being bad, but we got it together, don't we Gabby?" She cooed in response.
"Awww..." Joseph sat down next to her and Gabby immediately reached for him. He took her and she laid against him. "Was grandma being hard on the baby?" Gabby looked up at him and then back at Katherine. "Yeah, she was. You want me to get her?" Gabby looked back at him. "Hmm? You want me to get her back for you?" Joseph pretended to pop Katherine on her arm.
"Owww." Katherine started to fake like she was crying. Gabby looked at her and laughed causing Joseph to start laughing. He stood her up on his lap and she bounced around.
"You're a mean little princess, aren't you?" Gabby hit Joseph's nose. He sat her back down and rocked her. "How you doing?" He looked at Katherine. By now she had stopped faking like she was crying.
"I'm okay." She sighed. "I mean, hearing that Lawrence is out of prison wasn't the best news, but....I've done a lot of work to forgive what he has done so that I could move on. My only concern is the kids. I don't want him coming to hurt them."
"Don't worry about that. We have protection on the kids. Michael is even getting some of the guys to scope out where Lawrence is to follow him. Ever since we found out he was the one behind the accident, we've been keeping everything on the up and up."
"Good, because I don't need anything else happening to my baby here." Katherine held Gabby's little hand. "It just broke my heart to know she was being held by those people."
"But it's good that she doesn't show any signs of trauma.'
"True." Katherine sighed and sat back. "So what else did you find out?"
"There is someone who has been helping the Fosters get info on us. We ruled out Laura and Diana because the info that was leaked wasn't even info they were privy too and if they were privy to it, it was leaked before I had a chance to tell them."
"Who figured out someone was leaking information?"
"Whitney. She was doing her routine inspection of the HR department and noticed that there was some suspicious emails. So she went to Carol and she found out that the emails didn't have the usual company tags. So it was obvious that someone had been sending information to Foster."
"Do you guys have an idea of who it is?"
"No, but we're definitely beefing up our security."
"Good." Gabby moved around in Joseph's lap and pulled at his shirt.
"What's up, princess Gabby?" She whined and pulled at him more. "Aww.." He stood her up and she whined more.
"She must be tired. We did a lot today."
"Oh really?"
"Yep, we went to the park, she played with a bird that landed on her stroller and then we went to the aquarium. She loved all the different fish."
"Did you see the fishes, Gabby?" She whined. "Aww, come on." Joseph laid her on his shoulder and rubbed her back. She moved her head around a few times before sighing. It was obvious she was gonna be out in no time. "What are your plans for dinner?"
"I don't know. I'm probably going to just whip up a salad."
"Or...we could order in."
"Order in?" Katherine chuckled. "We haven't done that in years."
"I know. Since Rebbie and Jackie were little." Katherine sighed and sat back against the couch. "We can get some fried rice, beef and broccoli, maybe those crab rangoons you loved."
"Ohhh...you talking dirty to me." They laughed.
"We can even watch your favorite movie." Katherine cut her eye at Joseph.
"You trying get in between my legs or something?" He smirked.
"Maybe."
"Well..." She leaned closer. "....throw in some oreo ice cream and you just might."
"Ohhh...yeah." He rubbed Gabby's back. "I need you to go on to sleep." Katherine chuckled.
"I'll get the menu from the kitchen."
"So, you're sure this plan is gonna work?" Mr. Foster looked at the man.
"I'm positive. This is their biggest weakness."
"This better work, because one of my daughters is already in jail for this kidnapping. If any more of my family ends up in trouble because of this, it's your behind on the line."
"Trust me. I won't steer you wrong."
"Good. Lawrence!" Lawrence walked into the office.
"What's up Ed?"
"I believe you know Pastor DeBarge."
"Yeah, we grew up around each other." Lawrence held his hand out. "How you been, Robert?""I've been great." Lawrence sat down."I'm surprised to see you here. I thought you and my brother were tight.""We were, but...that's over. Edward gave me a much better offer."
Edward rubbed his hands together. "I told you, Lawrence....money always talks." "You right." They chuckled. "So what's the plan?"
"We're making a move on the one thing Joseph loves more than anything."
"What's that?" Edward smirked.
