Luke's POV

They shoved me into the back of some van. Still tied to the chair with my mouth taped shut. My mind racing at a million miles per hour. My beautiful wife, carrying my third child, was about to do the most dangerous thing at the moment. Meet with Joey. I'll never understand why she would do this. Maybe she'll be smart enough and get the police involved. I can't tell you how I feel because I don't feel anything. Maybe it's my mind blocking all of this out, maybe it's just me being me, not feeling anymore. It's not like me being gone for so long will fix anything. Abbey still will leave me again and she will take our kids with her. God knows where she'll go this time. Maybe with Jesy maybe back to the US and I'll see her at some damn concert again. Oh another wonderful thing. These damn fans can be obsessive. I'm surprised they haven't found me yet. I don't even know if I'm in Australia anymore either. The only reason I'm still alive is because of Abbey and my three children. They need a father and some other guy isn't raising my children. Because they're mine.

After a little bit the van came to a stop quickly causing me to roll forward and hit the metal wall with a loud thud.

God Abbey don't do anything stupid.

Abbey's POV

"Okay so we'll have that mic on you so we can hear everything. We have people walking around undercover we have the bulletproof vest covering you and your stomach so the baby should be fine-"

I cut the detective off "what about the van. Is Luke in the van?" I pointed to the monitor to the sketchy looking van

"We don't know" he said looking at the screen then back at me

"Well find out. That's my husband. The father of my children. My best damn friend." I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair

"Okay it's show time. Look don't do anything stupid. Follow his instructions as you see fit. Act like yourself"

I nodded and thanked them before climbing out of the van and walking towards the streets he told me to meet him at. My mind was racing. Luke could very well be dead and I have to prepare myself for the worst. But how do you prepare for that? You don't, you hope for the best no matter what. I would know if Luke was dead, right? Like I would be able to feel it. I feel like he's alive but I don't like going with my gut. I like taking the best option and that's a fact. I checked my watch. Three minutes. I walked and stopped at the corner and waited. The minutes felt like hours every second that ticked away I couldn't deal with it. It was enough to drive a person mad, and I was halfway there. I saw the outline of a person walking towards me. I stared at it and soon realized it was Joey. The asshole that used me, the asshole that has my husband, the asshole that wants to ruin my life stands right in front of me.

"Joey?"

"Why hello Ms. Nelson"

"It's Hemmings now" I said crossing my arms over my chest as he got closer

"Right sure. So how's my favorite Nelson girl?"

"Well that depends. I know you weren't too fond of Jesy or Selena for that matter so if you're talking about me I'm quite shitty to be honest"

"Well whys that?"

"You have my husband and the father of my children"

"Oh yeah that's right. How many kids do you have now?"

"Three" I said as he stopped right in front of me

"I'm not going to hurt you Abbey, it just depends on what you can give me to wether or not Luke lives or dies"

I gulped and nodded "well how much do you want? I'm assuming we're talking money. After all that is your favorite thing"

He smirked "besides myself of course" then winked

"Yes of course"

"How much are you willing to give me?" He said staring me down

"As much as you want as long as I have Luke back safely and very much alive"

"I don't know how alive your husband is dear"

"What the hell does that mean?" I snapped

"Woah calm it prego" he put his hands up "he's feisty"

"I know that. I'm married to him" I sighed

"You sound excited about that"

"It's hard, he's always gone but I'm madly in love with him and you do whatever it takes to make it work"

"Who's Christina?" He smirked again

"Why do you want to know?"

"Just wanted to see if you remembered her. Luke did"

"Of course I remember her" I sighed

"So the money"

I heard the detective in my ear piece say "we've found the van. There's someone in the front and someone in the back. We've got him"

"How much do you want?" I said getting impatient

"That depends... I want it all of course"

I heard some yelling and a gun shot and then the detective say "we've got him. Get out of there"

"I need a few days to get it together, okay? Meet back here-" I stopped when I saw the detectives hold a gun to his back

"Hands behind your head" he said pushing him to the ground then looking at me "he's in the van"

I took off running and saw the ambulance with someone sitting up on the stretcher I got closer and saw Luke covered in dirty and blood but I didn't care. I ran around the stretcher and took him in before lunging at him and wrapping my arms around him tightly "you're okay? You're alive! Are you okay?"

He nodded and lightly wrapped his arms around me "I missed you baby"

I pulled back and pressed my lips to his which he quickly returned the kiss he pulled away and rested his forehead on mine "you did it baby you did it"

"I wasn't going to give up. Not until I found you. Until we found you"

"Is the baby okay?" He put this hand on my stomach only to feel the vest

"Yes we're all fine babe oh my god I though I was going to lose you"

"That won't ever happen"

I say next to him as they stitched him up then letting us get driven home and the kids along with Liz ran out the door as we walked up the driveway and attacked him in hugs and I smiled as Liz pulled away letting the kids see him and hugged me and whispered in my ear "you did it Hun"

"Thank you. For everything" I smiled

She nodded and pulled away as I looked over at Luke holding the kids and whispering things to them. We all wandered inside and we put the kids to bed and then Liz went off to sleep in the guest bedroom. Luke showered and I got into bed and he walked out wearing only a towel and looked at me "please?"

"Go easy on me I'm pregnant"

"As you wish my dear" he jumped on top of me and started kissing me
