The Taxi Driver

Chapter 42

"Who are you?" Stormie asked. She cried falling into her arms. "Stormie. He.. He has....my baby....our baby..." She said between gasps for air. She looked at her confused. "Baby? Who's baby?" She asked. Mandi then stepped forward and Stormie's face turned quickly. She then looked at the crying girl in her arms. "Laura? Laura!" She hugged her. She wiped off the tears rolling down her cheeks. "Sh...It's okay. It's your baby. Both of you. He wouldn't hurt her like someone would." She glared at Mandi. Mandi returned the glare. "Promise?" She sniffed. Stormie nodded inviting her in.

"Promise. How long ago was it that he took her/him?" She asked. "36 hours 16 minutes and 13 seconds. And counting." She sniffed. She smiled. "I have a grand baby?" She asked. She wanted to be happy for her but she couldn't. Her mind always shifted to bad thoughts about both of the two beein hurt. "It's a girl.....Isabella...Lynch." She told her. She became over filled with joy she hugged her even tighter. "I have a grand baby. Why hasn't he told me?" She asked. She cleared her throat and looked into her eyes. All she saw was pure anger.

"What did he do?" She asked the girl. She shook her head. "He told me not to...but he kept it from me. How could he?" She asked her mother-in-law. "How could he what? He kept what from you?" She asked. She shook her head. She looked at Mandi and bursted into more tears. Stormie helped her up. "Come let's get you some water. Until Ross returns. I promise they'll make it to you safely. I promise." She comforted her. She nodded still a little uneasy. She had that mother gut feeling and she didn't like it.
