Running Scared

13- Too Much

Alec's POV
It's been a crazy few weeks for Kate and it's all been my fault, because of me punching Andrew in the face the judge ruled that Gracie stay with him until our next court date which is a couple months away. "Kate lets go get out the house for a while," I say sitting on the edge of the bed next to her. "Alec I really don't feel like it," she say never even looking at me. "Kate you can't just lay here," I say trying to keep my voice calm. "Why not my daughter was taken from me and you are wanting me to act as if my life is normal, well guess what it's not normal," she says angrily getting out of bed and storming out of the room. "Kate please stop and talk to me," I say fallowing after her. She ignores me as she continues to storm through the house and out the door, and I watch as she gets in her car and pulls away leaving standing staring after her.

Natalie POV
I hate being mad at Alec and I can tell I'm hurting him by shutting him out but there was know way I can make him understand what I'm going through, so that's why I stormed off. "Ms. Hale the doctor will see you now," the nurse calls out to me and I slowly get up from my seat and make my way to where the nurse was waiting. I sit in the room waiting to hear waiting the words I already knew was coming. "Alright Ms. Hale we have the results of your blood work that you had done last week," the doctor say as he walks into the room. "Ok I'm ready," I say taking a deep breath as the doctor say, "congratulations your going to be having a baby." I could feel the tears burning my eyes as I fight them back. "How far along am I," I ask not sure of what I wanted to hear. "I would say you around two months," he say handing me the positive results that included my estimated due date. "I know you are ready to get out of here so you can tell the lucky guy he is going to be a father," he say before letting me exit the room.

I get out of the car and start making my way up the driveway having decided that I was going to tell Drew about the baby and beg for him to let me be apart of Gracie's life. Just as I make it halfway up the driveway his front door opened and I could tell by the look on his face he wasn't happy to see me. "Natalie what are you doing here," he asked but just as I was about to answer I felt someone grab me from behind. "Let me go," I scream kicking at the person trying to get them to release me. "Stop fighting before I kill you right here in front of my son," he says his voice sending chills down my spine. "Rick please don't do this," I beg as he throws me into the back of the van. "Shut up," he says as his hand makes contact with my face. Tears begin streaming down my face as he ties my wrist together and places a blind fold over my eyes. It was at this moment I realized I may never get to see Andrew and Gracie ever again, and I also may never get to see my unborn baby.

Andrew POV
When I got the call a week ago about my dad escaping prison I would have never though that he would actually come after me or Natalie. I figured since Natalie was safe far away from me and California. When she showed up at my house I was confused as to why she would come all this way. When I seen my dad come up behind her and pull her away I immediately ran after them, but once I made it to the end of the drive the van was long gone.

Just as I was about to get in my car to make my way after the van I notice a paper laying on the drive way. I pick it up an my heart dropped as I read the positive results of a pregnancy test. I knew that even if the child belonged to another man that I had to save her so that she can live her life in peace. Knowing there was know way I could do this on my own I get in my car and headed to Alec because even though we may not get along I know she is the only other person that would do anything for her. I also know that Alec had connections to people who could help us find my father without having to get the law involved which could lead to him killing or hurting her.
