Not As It Seems (Alaskan Bush People Story: Sequel to Love)

Not Expected

Gabe POV

Henry was trying to stop but he was about to fall forward. His little foot fell over the ledge as I reached for him and I caught him by his arm. Rose was crying as I was trying to save her brother. "Daddy, Daddy Please help me!" "I got you." I pull him up into my arms knowing I had almost lost my son. I felt Rose put her hands on my arm. I bring both of them into my arms. My babies were safe. I felt another note on Rose's shirt. "Turn around for me sweetheart." She turns for me as I unpinned it and there was a note for Blaine. I thought they were going in order. Lacy was going to finally meet the man that had taken her family and had hurt her. I take the walk down the mountain. It was already dark and I worried there might be snakes out here. I carry both of kids so they wouldn't be bitten. It took me a lot longer to make it down the mountain. Grace would be worried sick right now.

Grace POV

I can't stay still as I keep worrying about my family. Gabe could be hurt up there on the mountain and we didn't know. One of the kids could be injured and he is trying to bring both of them down safely. Then I hear "Momma, Momma!" I turn to see both my kids are okay. He puts them down as they run to me. I gather them into my arms and I don't want to let them go. I started crying knowing my babies were with me again. He bends down with us and he kissed me and then brought all us into his arms. The rest of the family was crying at our reunion. Then Gabe stood up "Blaine, this was left for you." He takes the note as Birdy came over to read it with him. Blaine put his arm around her as she started to cry. "What does it say?" "He is in San Diego at a lighthouse. We have to be there in a few hours."

Lacy POV

I thought we would get our children back first. I couldn't hold it in any longer and I just balled my eyes. I was on my knees and screaming "Why?" This guy had it out for me and I didn't know understand. Noah bent down with me as we cried for our children.  "We have to go darling, if we want to save Peter." I couldn't get up. Matt and Bam came over to help me up as they walked me to the RV. Gabe had come over to help Noah. We couldn't fathom why someone was out to get me. We all made it back on the road making our deadline. We traveled another three hours. We all tried to sleep as Blaine and Birdy road in the driver and passenger seats. They didn't want us to know when we got to the lighthouse. We were all asleep in the back.

Snowbird POV

"Do you want me to go with you?" "No, I don't want to worry about you too. I'll be back before you can worry." "To late, it is already happening." He took my hand and kissed it before he got out.

Blaine POV

I look at my wife one last before turning towards the light house. I see the light on the top as it moved in a circle. I go to the front door to see a desk with a lamp on top of it. It was turned on so I could see. An older man was asleep on the couch. He didn't wake when I opened the door. I see the door leading up to the room upstairs. The spinning stairs went all the way to the top. I could see a child on top step. It was Peter asleep swaddled the way he enjoys it.  I take the next step to be blinded by the bright light. I step over him as I didn't want to wake him. I kiss his head as I see smoke coming from downstairs. It was getting hard to breathe.

Snowbird POV

I'm standing outside waiting on him to come out then I see a fire. "Blaine!" I open the door and turn on the light "There is a fire in the light house! Blaine and Peter are in there!" Gabe, Matt, and Bam all get up and race to the light house.

Bam POV

The fire was spreading quickly as we reached the front door. I touch the knob and it was hot to the touch. Gabe breaks down the door and we are in. Matt stands outside trying to find them. "They are up top with the light. Gabe and I race up the stairs to find them both trying and Blaine was trying to stay conscious. I go for the baby as Gabe picks him up. I run downstairs but Gabe and Blaine can't make it out. Matt had helped an older man out as he was trying to catch his breath. 

Gabe POV

We can't get it out by using the stairs. I stand over the railing and there was only one thought that came to my mind. We had to jump. I turn to him and try to wake him up. "Hey, the only way we can get out here is to jump, okay?" "What? Where is Peter?" "Bam got him out safely but we need to get out of here now before it collapses." He nodded his head. "Try to find something for us to land on." They take the mattress out of the RV and lay it in close to lighthouse. "You go first." He makes his way to the railing and steps over it. Then he jumps off like a flyer monkey. He falls onto the mattress as he rolled onto the grass. I could hear the wood cracking. I had to jump now. I jumped as the building collapsed after I jumped. I fell onto the mattress and then rolled until Bam stopped me. Grace runs over to me. "Are you okay? Anything broken? Did you get burned?" "Babe, for right now stop being Doctor Grace and just be my wife. I'm fine." She was already crying before I could finish my sentence. She brought me into her arms as we heard a siren. There was an older man that was trying to catch his breath. A fire truck and an ambulance pulled up at the same time. Firefighter got started with the water trying to put the fire out.

They check all of us involved in the fire. They had put out the fire as the police did an investigation. The had determined the candle downstairs had caught the curtain on fire because the window was open. We were getting ready to go but we couldn't find Lacy. Noah said she had stepped outside on the beach to get some air. She must have gotten lost. We search up and down the beach but we couldn't find her. Then we found a note on the RV door.
Be back in Seattle in the next few days. I have Lacy and both of her kids. I will be inside the space needle.
We climb in the RV as we make our way back to Seattle.

Lacy POV

My wrists and ankles we tied up with a piece of duck tape and a piece was across my mouth. There was a man driving. He didn't say a word. He told me if I didn't do what he says my entire family would be killed. I didn't want anything to happen to them. They had taken me under their wing and had blessed me with a family that cared. I had met an amazing man and had turned out to be an amazing father to our children. He was my soulmate. I remember our wedding night. We didn't make love on our first night of being a married couple. I had cried for being nervous. He let me sleep in his arms that night. Each night after that, we had worked our way up to having sex. Each night we would remove one more piece of clothing. The night I had first seen him standing in front me, I fell in love even more. We still didn't have sex that night either. We made out, kissed other parts of our bodies but that was it. The first night we had made love was our first night in our new home. I cried the entire time. When he had gotten up to run us a shower, I noticed a blood stain on the sheets. That embarrassed me. He walked back over to me and I heard the water running into our bathtub. He lifts up the sheet and saw the blood. He put out his hand and pulled me to him and kissed me. "That will come right out after we wash it in the creek." I giggled as he took my hand and lead me to the tub. The rest is history.

I had fallen asleep in the back of the car. I had been moved while I was sleeping into a nice hotel. I could hear cars from the street and then the door opened. The light was off in the room as the person came into view. "Andrew?"
