when they got in the car the whole ride was filled sounds of Meryl's sobs Don wanted to sob to but he couldn't for he need to stay strong for Meryl and she needed this let out and he knew that. when they got home Meryl couldn't even stand up on her own so Don had to help her into the house. as soon as they get in side Meryl runs out of Dons grasp and up to Grace's room. when she reaches her room she collapsed on the floor crying she grabbed the nearest stuffed animal and she just held it close to her. Don ran in after her when he found her there he couldn't hold it in anymore and he ran over to comfort her now crying himself. no words where spoken between the two they just laid there in each others arms. the kids had come home and called for their parents but no one answered so they just searched the house when they found them laying together in Grace's room on the floor asleep. they left them alone not knowing the true reason they where there.
"should we wake them" Mamie asked her older brother an hour after their return home.
"yeah probably, I'm hungry for that chicken mom makes" Henry answered. they walk upstairs and to Grace's room.
"mommy daddy time to get up you forget to pick up Gracie Beatrice is probably confused out of her wits"
"hmm what" Meryl says as she slowly wakes up
"mmmmm ten more minutes" Don mutters
"haha your funny you still have to pick up Gracie from Beatrice's" Henry said laughing
"Grace my baby my poor baby" Meryl started to cry
"what-whats wrong mom" Henry and Mamie chimed worriedly.
"Well kids we have some bad news" Don said trying to comfort Meryl
"please tell me the new baby isn't dead please tell me that" Henry pleaded
"no heavens no why would you think that" Meryl said grabbing her stomach
"sorry but what is it" Mamie said for the befuddled Henry
"Gracie was kidnapped today" Don answered gruffly.
"what? when? Why? who? how? " the two siblings chimed as they ran over to comfort their parents. Don rapped his arms around his family as like a barrier from harm
"somtimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess but to just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best" Don whispered into the ears of his grieving family.
"I know I know" was all Meryl could say as she held her children close to her chest where they always where when something bad was happening to their family Meryl would hold them and Don would hold her in his arms as if to say it will all be okay I will make sure of that even if it kills me.
"we will make it out of this shadow of darkness and we shall reach the light together we always have and we always will" Don said into Meryl's ear
"for better or for worse" Meryl hummed back "for better or for worse"
later when they where eating they got a call. Meryl got up to answer it.
"hello Gummer residence Mrs.Gummer Speaking" Meryl said as cheerily as she could
"hello I have a message for you and your husband" said and erie voice that Meryl would never forget ever. Meryl started to breath heavily and looked at Don her eyes widening
"what do you want you son of a bitch" Meryl boomed as Don came rushing over
"oh is that how we are going to play it well the last time I checked I was the one with precious little baby Grace" the man said threateningly
