Taissa's pov- November nights had always brought chills in the air, but something was off tonight as I looked at the moon and stars while holding liam. After reading him his nightly story I put him down for the night. I had just settled in for sleep at around 10 when I heard the front door knob jiggle. I sit up and listen in closely. "That can't be Evan" I mumbled. I stand up and lean closer against the door. I close my eyes and focus. This time I hear pots and pans rattling. I go over to Evan's nightstand and pull out the small pistol he bought for protecting the family. I slid it under my garter under my night gown. I quickly and quietly open the door and tiptoe by and up the stairs. As I walk by the kitchen I peek through and see a man covered in all black head to toe searching through drawers and things in the kitchen. I quickly dash by and up the stairs. I hear a faint cry outside liams room. I open the door and see him clutching the crib rail in tears. "Shh mommy has got you youre okay" I pick him and hand him a pacifier to keep him quiet. "Where dada?" he questions "I don't know baby." I say pushing back his mop of brown curls. "But mommy needs you to keep quiet okay?" "otay mommy" We sneak to his closet and shut the door. Liam squeals out due to surprise darkness. "Mommmy!" "shhh no liam please baby don't cry" I hear footsteps make their way up the stairs and that's when I sneak out the closet door and through the bathroom and into the other bedroom. The footsteps had made their way to liams nursery so now is a good time to go back downstairs. I tiptoe into the laundry room and open the washer door. I sit liam inside with his pacifier and my  phone. "Don't come out until I say so okay? No matter what happens" liam nods his head. I kiss him quickly and then shut  the washer door till it comes to a crack. I then step out and tiptoe down the hall to mine Evans room. I grab the phone off it's charger that's our house phone and I sneak it with me. After I crawl under the bed I dial 911. "Hello, 911 what's your emergency?" "yes, Taissa Farmiga here someone is in my house." "okay mam stay calm and we will be there shortly." I click end call and I keep quiet until the phone rings. "Hello" "Hey baby" "Ev, please come home now!" I say crying. "Babe what's wrong?" "someone is here" in that moment the french doors creaks open and footsteps come across. "Is someone in the house?" "yes ,please help us Ev" I cry. That's when I feel a tug at my feet and next thing I know I'm being dragged. "Evvvvvvvvvvvaaaaaaaaan!" "Tai?Taissa" I reach out for the phone that happens to still lay under the bed. I hear the floor squeak underneath me as I am being dragged across it. "Stupid girl" the man mumbles.That's when he reaches up under my nightgown and grabs the gun. "Yep definitely dumb." He aims it at me. "Now where's the baby?" "please don't I don't know what baby your talking about" he rolls his eyes. "Come on bitch stand up." I stand up he points it at my back and makes me sit on the couch. "Now where's the baby or you're  going with me and you can say goodbye to your perfect life" he points the gun at my temple. I had never been afraid in my whole life, but I knew Evan and liam needed me to be brave. "Go to hell!" he clicks the bullet into place and is about to pull the trigger. I close my eyes waiting for my own demise, but it never comes thankfully. I hear a scream of agony as the man drops to his knees. Liam stands behind him with a knife in his hand. "Liam!" liam drops the knife and runs to me. I keep liam close as I pick up the gun. Finally Cops has arrived and so has EMS. My night terror was over so I thought.

I wake up the next morning in a hospital bed and look at my surroundings. I close my eyes that is until a door is open. I hear footsteps and a whisper. "Mommy?" I open my eyes and see liam in Evan's arms. "Liam!" Evan sets liam down on the bed and liam engulfs me. Evan sits on the side of the bed tucking strands of hair away. I couldn't help but pull him into a hug. "Don't worry your safe" He says. He pulls back. "So?" I say. "So the man that broke into our home last night was trying to kidnap and possibly kill you and liam, but you both are okay and vital signs look good so we're free to go the guy that tried hurting you two has a sliced akelles tendon so he can still walk but he will permanently have a limp for the rest of his life if I could I would not let him walk again at all" Evan says in tears. I grab onto his arm. "Hey Ev at least we are still here alive and all that's what really counts doesn't it?" he nods his head. "You're right Tai" he rubs noses with me. "I promise to not leave your side ever again" he says. And believe me he kept that promise for nearly 2 years.
