Miranda's pov

I wake up tiredly against his bare chest, his arm wrapped around me. I sit up and stretch, a yawn coming out. I smile remembering last night.

~flashback~

After the show Sierra was so tired she didn't care if I wasn't around so Mike babysat her for us. When we got back to his house, he laced his fingers with mine and kissed me hard my arms wrapped around his neck as we made out. He sweeped me off my feet, holding me bridal style and I gasp in surprise. He laughs at my sudden surprise then kisses me again, carrying me to his room.

~flashback over~

I kiss his lips, thus waking him up and one hand instantly landing on the back of my neck. He sits up. "Oh Mike is gonna be pissed." He mumbles, smiling. "We better go get her." I nod and get dressed as does he. We drive to Mike's house and Sierra is sitting at the kitchen table telling Mike all about the pancake story.

~flashback~

I was fixing pancakes for Sierra when she tripped grabbing my pants to steady herself. My pants came down, making me shriek in surprise and the waffle flew off the spatula and got stuck to the ceiling. I was trying to pull my pants up when I slipped over juice on the floor. I fell on my butt with Sierra laughing hysterically. The pancake fell back down, hitting me in the head and Sierra poured syrup on my head and the pancake and started eating it off my head.

~flashback over~

My face is fire red. But what shocks me is how she's talking to him without stuttering. She's not shy at all and she's holding tight to Mike's hand. Jason and I are both shocked. I open the door. "Sierra?" I gasp. She spins around. "Hey mama!" She cries, running over and hugging my legs. "Me and Uncle Mike had so much fun. We had breakfast for dinner last night and now we're having dinner for breakfast. He's so much fun!" Mike is smiling. Jason shakes his head with a smirk, his hands on his hips. "Uncle Mike?" He asks, trying not to laugh. She nods. "You aren't jealous, are you Mr. Jason?" She asks, teasingly. He smiles and shakes his head. "No. Just surprised." He picks her up and puts her at the table. "Oh I made you something!" She gasps, jumping back down. She runs out of the room and I'm completely bewildered. "I've never seen her act like this." I choke out. Mike laughs. "Mike works wonders." Jason says, smiling. Sierra runs back in with a drawing she did of us all onstage. He smiles and says, "This is going up in the studio." She gets really excited and I realize I haven't given her her meds. "Hey sweetheart you have to take your meds." She looks sad. "Mama, why do I have to take meds? What's wrong with me?" "Nothing is wrong with you." Jason says sternly. "Honey, I've gotta take meds too." He says. He does? He winks at me. "You take your meds and I'll take mine." He says. She smiles and nods. He pretends to take something while I give her her meds.

*later*

"I'm just so shocked. She was never like that." I mumble, laying her down for her nap. "Is that normal for kids like her? To completely change?" He asks, leaning against the wall, his hands in his pockets. "Not that I know of." I reply staring at my sweet little sister. I stand back up, watching her sleep. Jason's arms wrap around my waist, seconds later. I smile and turn around where we kiss. My arms instantly around his neck. "Jason, you've been my saving grace the last 3 weeks. I can't thank you enough." "You don't need to thank me baby, I'd do anything for my girls." He kisses me again then picks me up, carrying me out of her room to my bedroom. "I was thinking baby, why don't you and Sierra move in with me." "Yeah I would love that." "Great. We can go to my house tomorrow."

*the next day*

Jason's pov

I wake up groggy as hell. My head pounding and a syringe in my arm! "What the?" I walk out of her bedroom. The first thing I see is the stuffed dog I won for Sierra. The head's been torn off and there's a note. I shakily pick it up, worried. "Baby girl, please tell me you're in here!" I call. Silence. I open the note. You made a big mistake. They're my girls not yours and I've been looking for them for a long time. Don't try to find us. "Oh no.... They've.... Been.... Kidnapped!!"

Miranda's pov

My stupid ex boyfriend and Sierra's father Nick sedated Jason and forced us to go with him. Sierra buries her head in my shirt, shaking. "I want Mr. Jason." She whimpers. "I do too baby. I want Jason too." I struggle to say in between my sobbing. My wrists and feet are bound with duct tape. Nick paces the floor in front of us. He's waiting for the getaway car. The door busts open. "Finally, I've been waiting- uh oh!" I look up. Jason! Thank God. "We're gonna be okay baby. Jason's here." I whisper, shakily to Sierra. She looks up. "J-Jason is h-here?" She whimpers. I nod. "There's two things you don't mess with when it comes to rednecks. And that's his guns and his family." I'm not the one who made a mistake buddy, you are." He growls, furious, pulling out a 9mm. Nick meets him with a machine gun, pointed at us. Jason gasps in fear, his eyes wide. "Drop the gun or I will shoot!" He threatens. He stares fearfully at us. "Fine. Just let them go... Please!" He cries, dropping it. Nick walks over to us the gun pointed at my head. "No! Don't!" Jason cries in desperate panic. "They mean everything to me. Please don't hurt them! Let them go!" I'm so scared. Nick is off his rocker. He lowers the gun and I take a deep breath but feel a sudden yank then Sierra is ripped from my arms. "No!!" I scream desperately. She fights to get to me but Nick holds tight. "Let her go!" I whimper, hitting my knees.

Jason's pov

No way!! No freaking way!! I take a deep shaky breath. "Let the girl go. Take me instead. I can assure you you'll get a much higher ransom for me." I shakily say, my eyes glued to my little girl. He looks like he's thinking. He finally lets go of Sierra and she runs back to her big sister. Someone grabs my arm and twists it behind my back. I didn't know anyone was even behind me. My eyes stay glued to my girls while whoever it is forces me to my knees. The gunman tells them to stand up. "Nick please don't do this." Miranda whimpers. I at least have a name. He fires the gun in the air and both girls scream in fear. He grabs her arm and drags her to the door. "Where are you taking them?!" I scream. "Shut up." The guy behind me growls and presses a gun to my head. I freeze, my eyes shut tight. My hands on the ground in front of me. "Jason!" I hear her whimper. "It's okay baby I'll be okay." I call. "Now get outta here you harlet!" Nick yells. He walks back in. What does he want with me? "You won't get nothin' of you hurt one hair on either of my girls' heads." I warn. "You're sassing the wrong guy, pal. There's a gun on your head right now." "I know. I'm just warning you. I'll kick anyone's fucking ass if they hurt them. They better be alive." He just laughs. They better be alive for this piece of shit's sake. They better be.
