Ezra's P.O.V

   I don't know how long it's been since my kidnapping, maybe a week. I don't know. I just sat here on the cold, hard floor crying and a wanting feeling for my mom and dad. I was scared and in pain from all the torture the Seventh sister and Fifth brother did to me. I had burns, cuts, whip marks, stab wounds, and a twisted leg. They even injected a drug into me that made my stomach tumble. Everything hurt unimaginably bad and if I moved then the pain comes back even worse.

   My clothes look like rages because they were so torn up. But what the worst part was, wasn't physically but mentally. They said things that made me feel useless, broken............unloved. I hated every moment of the agonizing torture. My eyes started to close from exhaustion and fell into the most wonderful place so far since my kidnapping, sleep. Before I did I thought, 'please hurry mom and dad'. Then everything went dark.

Hera's P.O.V

   It's almost been a whole week since Ezra's kidnapped. We still don't know where he is and I can't help but feel ashamed for letting it happen. I held Mary and over the week she kept saying 'Ezwa', questioning on where her big brother is. Every time I hear this makes the guilt increase and sadness always over shadows me.

   "Ezwa," a small voice said, interrupting my train of thought. I look down and held Mary close. "Ezwa," she said again and my eyes started before I silently cried. "I'm sorry baby," I cried, "I don't know where your brother is". Mary just stared at me curiously with big green eyes. I looked into them and when I got closer, there was something. I looked a little deeper and saw a sparkle in her eyes. That sparkle gave me hope and I calmed down. "Thank you Mary," I said and hugged her.

   "Mama," I heard her say and I couldn't help but smile, "yes baby, I'm your mama". Then a burst of confidence came in me and I stood up, "and we're going to find Ezra". "Ezwa," she said and I smiled walking to the kitchen. On the table were some clues that were found but it was hard to know where to track there last location. Kanan came into the room and saw me looking at the clues. "Hera, those are the only thing we could find in the town," Kanan said, "they don't lead us to anywhere but a dead end".

   Then a thought came to me, "Did you just look in town". He raised his eyebrow, "yeah, why?". I smiled as a seed of hope was blooming in me, "Remember the day that you that you couldn't find Ezra in the town because he wasn't". "Yeah?" He said oblivious to where my theory is going. "Have you guys tried to, I don't know, look out of town," I say and realization spread across his face. "No, no we didn't," he said with disbelief and face palmed himself, "I love you and I'll be back". He ran out the door and my guess was heading to the station.

   I smiled, "we might just find my little boy and your big brother". Mary smiled and I couldn't help but smile as well. "Just wait Ez, we are coming," I said to no one. "Ezwa," Mary said and we left the kitchen.

   I laid Mary down in her bed and she immediately fell asleep. I changed into my night gown and then I faced the bed. I saw a note on the bed and my curiosity got the best of me. I walked over and picked it up, opening it and reading what it says. A gasp left my mouth and my eyes widen. I covered my mouth and moved away from the note. "I can't believe she was....."

Ezra's P.O.V

   I woke up to darkness surrounding me. I felt weak still and wasn't planning on moving. I heard the horrid screech of the door upstairs open and foot steps come down the stairs. My breathing quickened and I was getting scared. 'No! No more torture!' I thought and backed up to the wall. The lights turned on and blinded me for a while.

   "Ezra?" I heard a familiar voice say. I looked up to see my dad standing there with worry written across his face. I probably looked gruesome but still pulled off a smile. "Y-you came". Dad walked up to me with tears in his eyes and I did to. "My little boy," dad cooed and gently hugged me. I cried into his chest and smiled knowing that I was going to be safe. "Daddy," I said and hugged him even tighter, not caring about the pain.
   "Shh......shhh.....your safe now," dad said and as gently as possible, picked me up. I grunted in pain a little and dad kept saying his sorry. Dad carried me up the steps and we past some officers talking. "They escaped," I heard one say. "Yeah," another said. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach when I heard they escaped but I wasn't concerned about it right now. All I was concerned about was that I was safe with my family once again. Dad held me until an ambulance arrived and picked us up. We went to the hospital and the doctor started to work on me. I still had questions for dad though and I needed answers to know what 'Jenny' said was true.

   "Dad," I said and he looked at me waiting for me to keep going. "Who was she?" I asked and dad gravely at me. He knew who I was talking about. "As you know her as 'Jenny Walters' or Seventh Sister, but her real name is Sailor Verona Moon," he explained and continued, "she and I were a couple back in high school. Hera was just a friend of mine at the time. She knew that something was not right with Sailor but I thought that was jealousy talk. Then I started to notice Sailor was sending me unusual love notes with white roses. Also when I was at home, I had strange feelings..." He said pausing. "What kind of feeling?" I asked not really wanting to know. Dad looked at me straight in the eye, "....like I was being watched".

   He took a deep breath in and out continuing, "well, things kept getting worse when I was still with her and then I finally noticed that Sailor had a disorder. The disorder was called schizophrenia, it would mess with your brain and think of some crazy things". Dad let out a forced laugh, "She even wanted to get pregnant at age 16". He sighed, "Then later on, I broke up with her and then started up with Hera about a month later". We made it to the hospital and I was trying to take in all the information. "Thank you for telling me," I said and dad walked beside me while I was being pushed down the hall.

   "What about the Ahriman guy?" I asked. "He used to be head over heels with Sailor. My guess is, he still is," he explained. "Sir we are going to ask you to wait out here please," a doctor said. Fear came through me faster than a bullet and dad gave me a 'it will be fine' look before I was rolled into a room. I calmed a little and he disappeared behind the door.

Kanan's P.O.V

   When Ezra disappeared behind the door, I immediately heard my phone ringing. I took it out and sat down in the waiting room. "Kanan," I heard Hera's voice. "Yes dear?" I replied smiling. "Did you find Ezra?" She asked and I could hear the worry in her tone. "Yes, me and him are at the hospital right now and he will be just fine," I said and heard a sigh in relief on the other side. A minute past before she talked again but this time her voice sounded distant, "Kanan". "Yes, I'm still here," I said and chuckled a bit. Then what she said next made me freeze.

    "Sailor is pregnant with both of your's baby".
