Two Worlds Collide

Chapter 33

Lucas POV

I was laying in my room looking at pictures on my phone of Jordan from when he was a baby until now. Jordan has been my life since day one. It's been him and I that's all I've been used to for the last 5 years. The thought of something happening to him ate me alive. I was so scared and all I wanted was him for to be back here with me. All I could think about was is he scared, hungry, what if he wants me? So many thoughts were running through my head. He should be home here with me and in his bed sleeping peacefully with Lily snuggled right in there with him. My phone ringing brought me out of the thoughts I was in. I looked down and it said it was the Austin Police Department. I answered the phone call right away.

(A/N: formatting this convo differently)

Me: Hello?

Cop: Mr. Friar we have located Jordan about 3 and a half hours from here in Abilene at a gas station.

Me: Is he okay, is he safe? When do I get him?

Cop: We have an officer on stand by right now to get him. He is currently being questioned at the police station in Abilene.

Me: What about Jennifer?

Cop: She's in police custody and is not getting out anytime soon.

Me: When will I get my son?

Cop: After he is questioned he will be escorted by a police officer to the Abliene aiport. The officer is going to fly with him back to Austin where an officer from our department will be there waiting to pick him up. We suggest that you leave now.

Me: I'm on my way.

I hung up with the police officer and ran down stairs where Mom and Dad where were still awake. I told them that they found Jordan and I was going to go get him. It didn't take me long to get the police station at all. When I got there they said he was currently on his way to the airport and should arrive to the Austin airport direct flight in an hour. The officer asked me some more questions about Jordan's birth mom and I asked him some questions too. I wanted to know how I could prevent this from happening again. He told me that she was going to be in jail for a very long time and that even if she got out that she doesn't have a legal leg to stand on since she hasn't been in his life in the last 5 years. I felt like time was going by so slow. I just wanted my son back. As I was lost in thought about everything that had happened today I hadn't heard the door open.

"Daddy?" Jordan said causing me to look up. "DADDY"

I stood up and Jordan took off running towards me. I picked him up in my arms and he grabbed me tightly around the neck.

"Jordan." said as I hugged him tightly. "I'm so sorry that this happened."

"It's okay Daddy." he answered.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Yes, Daddy I'm okay. The officer helped me just like Maya said." he said and I looked at him confused.

"When did you talk to Maya?" I replied.

"Before we came to Nanna and Papas. She told me and Lily to always stay with you and her in the airport. She said that if someone took us and we saw a cop to tell them that they would help. The cop helped me Daddy." he replied and suddenly I felt like the biggest asshole on the planet.

I hugged Jordan again "Maya's very smart and so are you. I'm so glad you asked the cop for help."

"Can we go home Daddy. I'm tired." Jordan yawned.

"Soon." I replied.

The cop had some things to discuss with me and eventually let me take Jordan home. I buckled him in and then made my way home. I need to talk to Maya. It didn't take long to get there. Jordan fell asleep in the car so I picked him up and carried him into the house. Mom took him from me and said she'd carry him up and put him in bed with Lily and that Maya was in the kitchen. I went to find Maya.

Maya POV

Sarah barged in my room and said they had located Jordan. Relief washed over me when she told me that. I got up out of bed and joined her downstairs. We decided to watch a movie to pass time as we waited for Jordan to get home. After the movie ended I went into the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. I hadn't ate all night and was starting to feel sick to my stomach due to my nerves getting to me. I was still so upset that Lucas was mad at me. I made myself a sandwich and then got myself a drink. I decided before I ate that I'd use the bathroom. As I was walking out of it I heard someone barge though the kitchen and looked up to see what was going on.

"Maya." Lucas said and I looked at him frozen in place when I saw he didn't have Jordan.

"Where is he?" I said as anxiety immediately washed over me. "Did something happen to him? Where is he? Oh god if something happened to him this is all my fault."

Lucas slowly walked up to me and I looked at him waiting for him to answer. He placed his hand around my wrist and pulled me to him. His lips landed on mine and as much as I wanted to get into this kiss, I just couldn't. He pulled away from me and I looked up at him as the tears streamed down my cheeks.

"Jordan is fine. Mama took him up to bed with Lily.Maya I'm sorry for how I treated you. I was just so scared." I replied.

By this point I was annoyed with him, "I'm glad Jordan is home safe but I'm annoyed that you think kissing me would make everything all better." I snapped.

"I'm an asshole, I get it. A major prick at that. I kissed you to relax you before you got a panic attack because it calms you. Look I'm so sorry Maya. If it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't have Jordan back with me right now."

I looked at him confused "Because of me?"

"He said you talked to him before we went to the airport and that you told him and Lily that if someone took them and they saw a police officer to ask for help." he replied and I felt the tears welling up in my eyes again.

"Yes, I did tell him that. I'm glad he listened." I replied.

"I'm so sorry Maya. I was terrified of something happening to my son and that I wouldn't ever get him back. I shouldn't have blamed you. " he replied to me as a tear ran down his cheek.

I wiped it away, "It's okay I understand." I said softly.

"Are we okay? I don't think I could bare losing you too." he said to me.

As annoyed with Lucas that I was I knew that I couldn't stay mad at him. I probably would have been a raging bitch had it been Lily. Instead of answering Lucas with words I pulled his face to mine and placed my lips on his. I kissed him hard as I cried with him. I pulled away and looked at him.

"I love you. It's been along night. Why don't we go to bed?" I said to him.

"I love you too. I think that sounds like a good idea." he said. "I want to get something eat first.

I made Lucas a sandwich and together we ate then we went and got around for bed. As we were cuddling he told me everything that happened with Jordan.

"Lucas?" I said to him.

"What?" he said as he turned his head to look at me.

"I want to be Jordan's, Mommy. I want one of my Christmas presents to him to be a piece of paper asking him if I can be his Mommy."

Lucas looked at me with a shocked expression on his face. "I thought you wanted to wait?" he replied.

I shook my head "No, not anymore. Not after what that bitch did to him. I want to adopt him. I want to be his Mommy like he has always wanted. I would put money on that being why he went with her because not only have you put it in his head to never talk to strangers but so have I. I want to adopt him."

Lucas sat up and leaned on his elbow looking at me with a smile on his face "I think you're right Maya. I'm sure that's exactly why he went with her because he knows who she is. I've shown pictures of her when he's asked about her. And I want nothing more than for you to be his Mommy." he answered. "Wrap the gift for him and we will give it to him on Christmas morning."

Lucas kissed me softly and we cuddled a little while longer before the both of us drifted off to sleep.
