Emerson's Pov 


I was sitting at the house watching Finn play in the living room and Dawson taking his nap. I'm glad that Brantley took Riker and Arlo to there baseball practice so I can get a few things done around here. So far I've got all of the laundry done and put away, dishes are all done and put away and I have supper out thawing out on the kitchen island. I looked down at the clock on my phone and saw it was already going on 1:45. Brantley and the boys should have been home by now. Maybe he was just taking them out to lunch after there practice. 

I got up to get myself a glass of sweet tea, when I saw the mail truck leaving. Just what we needed. More bills to pay. I walked over to the front door and grabbed all of the mail. As I was walking back to the kitchen I cheeked on both of the boys in the living room. Finn is playing with his toy cars and watching 'The Land Before Time' while Dawson was sound asleep in his swing. I put all of the mail on the kitchen island, so i can get my tea. 

After I got my drink I sat down on the island so I can go through the mail. Like I said before bills and more bills. But one thing cough my eyes. I opened up the letter up and saw it was from my brother Brett. He was telling me that he is happy where he is and he has a lady friend name Deena. She is the farmer's daughter who works for. As long as Brett is happy, then I'm happy for him. 

As I was ready Brett's letter there was a knock on the door. I jumped down from the island and ran over to the front door, before who ever it was would wake up Dawson. If that boy don't get his naps out he is grumpy all day and I don't want that at all. I opened up the door and saw 2 police men. 

"May I help you sir?" I asked them. 

"Yes, are you Mrs. Emerson Gilbert. Wife of Brantley Gilbert." One of the police men asked me. 

"Yes." I said to him. 

"Ma'am, there's been an accident." The other man said to me. 

"Is my sons okay. Or my husband." I asked them. 

"Ma'am, you husband was arrested. You need to get down to the county jail as fast as you can." He told me. 

"Okay. Is my sons okay. Where are they?" I asked them. 

"They are safe. One of our workers have them in the play room. But you need to get down there quickly." He told me. Thank God my boys are okay. 

"Okay. I'm going to get my other 2 sons ready." I told them. 

"You can follow us. Just hurry ma'am." He told me. I looked up at him. 

"Yes I will. Thank you both." I said to them. I shut the door, and ran over to Finn. I picked him up. 

"Baby, we need to go for a little ride okay." I said to my 3 year old son. I put his sanders on him. 

"Okay mommy." Finn said to me. I walked over to diaper  bag and made sure there was diaper's and another outfit for Dawson. I ran over to the kitchen and grabbed 2 bottlers with Dawson's dry milk in them. I grabbed 2 water bottlers as well. 

I picked up Dawson and held onto Finn's hand as we walked out of the door. 

"We are ready now." I said to the police men.

"Okay. Ma'am do you and your kids just want to ride with us." He asked me. I looked up at him. 

"I think that would be better. I'm scared." I said to him. All I can do is worried about my sons being there by themselves and whatever Brantley did.
