Liam's POV

Ignoring the looks of by passers, I ran past the shoppers in the market, shouting 'sorry' to a few people I managed to bump into.

"C'mon, hurry up," I mumbled impatiently as I went through the check out, buying Emmy's medicine for her cold. Of course when I am in a major rush to get home, some person decides to pay in full cash and has to count the change and elderly person goes in front of me.

I found myself nearly shaking with anxiety as I jogged back to the car throwing the bags into the backseat- speeding off before I had even buckled my seat belt. A soft chuckle left my mouth. How could we have been so stupid? Of course she would need that to have comfort and feel safe. In order to get back into their headspace that is what most babies require. Comfort and safety.

** RECAP [please read this] **
...But as I pushed the cart along, I couldn't help but catch a glimpse of something. Turning my head to look at it one more time, I gasped. How could we have missed something so obvious?!

Of course that's what we needed to get her back!

"That's it!"

The isle of stuffed animals was like a holy grail. Bears among bears were stuffed on the shelves, laying there sweetly. All along Beary has been her comfort item. Her safety. Beary is the answer to getting her back in.

****

The fact we went this long without thinking about her Beary is almost humiliating. It was obvious.

It's also what caused it. The night she had her nightmare we had given her ice cream as a treat. We all know how messy she gets when she has ice cream. She managed to get it all over Beary and we had to wash him.
Emmy had a nightmare because Beary wasn't there that night. She couldn't get back in her headspace because she didn't have her comfort item and didn't feel completely safe. The whole thing just makes sense now.

A huge sigh of relief left my mouth as pulled into the driveway, parking the car and jumping out in one quick motion. I was close to unlocking the door when-

"Shit."

I sprinted back to the car, grabbing Emmy's medicine and rushing back to get inside. Can I just not keep making this trip longer?

As soon as I entered the house, I kicked off my shoes jogging to go upstairs.

"Boys! Boys, I've got it! I know how to get her back! Mates!"

I probably yelled a few more times before I reached the top of the stairs, rushing into Niall's room.

"Liam? What's up?"

I smiled widely, answering ," I know how to get her back."

They looked at me impatiently, nervousness running through them.
I quickly explained my trip to the store and how I passed by the children's isle.
