The plane right back to Tennessee was excruciatingly long. I had to much time to think and get worked up over and over again about Derek trying to take Chloe away. I called my mom before leaving to let her know I was coming home and she told me he called again saying he was contacting his lawyer. I had also called Sidney to let her know what was happening, she too freaked out. Sidney was picking me up at the airport and we were heading straight to my mothers.

Sidney had a friend who's father was a family lawyer and he said he would help me out if I needed him and after what my mom said last night I seems like I will need his help. Since I was getting in late tonight Sidney had set up a time for me to meet with him tomorrow morning.

I carefully maneuver around all the people standing in the airport, ignoring the occasional flash of a camera or phone taking pictures, I could care less if I'm being noticed or not. I had only one thing on my mind right now and that was my daughter.

Just thinking about losing Chloe had my stomach tied in knots and make me nauseous. It felt like my heart was breaking, threatening to shatter into a million pieces, unable to be put back together. I'd never survive losing her. Just the thought alone is to much to bear, I can't even begin to imagine what it would feel like if she was really taken from me. I'm not sure if I'd be able to survive it.

I see Sidney standing by the doors of the airport, foot tapping anxiously as she scans through the crowd of people, all making their way towards the doors. She spots me and gives me a small smile before making her way towards me.

"That bâstard! I'll kill him," she whispers in my ear as she envelops me in a hug.

"Get in line," I tell her, giving her a small smile when she pulls back. Her eyes are sad but I can tell she's trying to lighten the mood by staying her usually happy self. Another reason why I loved her.

"Let's get you to your moms so you can get your little girl," she said sadly, linking her arm with mine and leading me out of the airport.

We make it to my moms and I'm out of the car before Sidney has a chance to shut the car off. I just need to see Chloe, to touch her and make sure she's ok. As a parent you can only be reassured so many times that your child is ok and safe but you don't really believe it until you can see them with your own eyes.

I rush inside, not bothering to knock and follow the voices I hear coming from the living room. I walk in and my dad is on the floor building towers out of blocks and laughing when Chloe knocks it down. My mom is sitting on the couch, curled up in a blanket, laughing at them while they play. I stop for a second, standing unnoticed in the doorway, and just watch them. I watch Chloe smile as she knocks over the tower of blocks and breaking out in laughter as it comes crashing down. I watch her clap her tiny little hands as my father builds the tower once more for her and watch my father smile lovingly at her. I watch as my whole world plays, not having a single clue that my heart was on the verge of breaking, unaware of what was going on around her. I held in a sob that was threatening to expose me.

"What are you doing?" Sidney says, walking up behind me, bumping me with her shoulder. Her voice causes my parents to snap their heads towards up and Chloe to look back as well. Her eyes widening as well as her smile before she stands up on her own and walks towards me, a little wobbly, but she did it. I kneel down and open up my arms, wrapping them around her as she walked into them and wraps her small arms around my neck. Tears I've tried to hold back broke free and fell down my cheek. I close my eyes and just hold my little girl, unsure how I was going to handle it if anything happened to her.
