My Ever After

Chapter Twenty One

Trent's Point Of View (SURPRISE!)

After meeting with Elizabeth, I went home. I don't even know how I am going to begin to tell Tracy that Elizabeth doesn't want her around Emmie. I don't blame her. Tracy is a bit into herself and can have a potty mouth, but I won't let Tracy ruin this for me. I have already lost six years with Emmie because I was too stupid to step up and be a father. I am going to do whatever I can to be able to see my daughter.

"Hey babe." Tracy said right when I walked in the door.

"Hi." Her voice is actually really annoying.

"So how did it go with Elizabeth." She said her name in a immature way.

"It went good. She is allowing me to see Emmie under two conditions in which I agreed."

"I don't even see why she has to "allow" you to see your own daughter."

"Because I signed my rights away and that means she has sole custody of her and what she says goes. I will take what I can get though."

"So when do you get her and when do I get to meet her?"

"Er, that's the thing. You won't be able to meet her yet."

"What? Why not?"

"One of the conditions Elizabeth set is that during the times that I get Emmie, you are not allowed to be around."

"WHAT?! And you agreed? I am going to be your wife!"

"Listen, Elizabeth has her doubts and I don't blame her. I am going to do this her way and if it means that you don't get to meet Emmie yet, then that is the way it is. I won't have you ruin this for me. I want my daughter in my life and if it means that you have to wait for a little while then so be it." 

"This is completely unfair. I am going to leave and give you time to think about what you just told me and then when I get back I hope that you came to your senses and will tell Elizabeth that if I am not there then she can see us in court."

"I won't do that. I am not missing the chance to get time with my daughter."

"Why would you pick your daughter over me?"

"Because she is my daughter Tracy! I have been out of her life for six years and I regret it every single day. I saw her at a restaurant one time and she was a beautiful little girl. I don't want to miss out on any more of her life. Either get on board with it or walk and we won't get married anymore."

"This is such shit. You will regret this decision." She said and stormed out.

Tracy is harmless so I doubt she will do anything. Like I told her. I am not missing any time with my daughter. I need to do right by her and Elizabeth. When I saw that Rylan guy with her I felt a little jealous, but it is my fault. I let her go and she deserves to be happy after everything.

I used to see her around in town after she had Emmie. She would be at the grocery store is sweats and getting baby food and diapers and all that and she looked exhausted. I felt so bad, but I couldn't just walk up to her then.. She probably would have yelled at me. I wouldn't blame her for that either. I would always see her and want to just go and ask for a second chance, but then I got busy with life and Tracy happened and before I knew it we were engaged.

I honestly don't remember proposing to her. All I remember was her bringing up the topic of marriage and somehow she ended up telling everyone we were engaged and I just went along with it. I think it would be in my best interest to completely end it with her. 

I waited up all night for her to come home and she never did. I guess I would have to wait till the following day. Give her some time to calm down. It was now 3 am and I was about to go to bed until my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"T-trent?"

"Elizabeth what's wrong?" 

"Its E-Emmie. Someone kidnapped her and I don't, I don't know what to do. Can you please come over and help?"

"Of course! Send me the address and I will be there."

I hung up the phone and grabbed my car keys. Why would someone kidnap Emmie? As far as I could tell she was the sweetest little girl ever. I made my way over to where she was and when I pulled up, I was at a mansion.  This must be where Rylan lives.

"ELIZABETH!" I yelled.

I saw her sitting on the steps and she was crying. There were many people around including my parents who were trying to calm her down.

"What happened to my daughter?!" I said.

"I don't know. She was outside playing and she went to pick me a flower and after five minutes she wasn't back and when I went in the direction she was in her flower was on the ground and she wasn't anywhere to be seen." I heard my mom say.

I was wondering  why my parents were even hanging out over here. I mean, I always knew that Elizabeth let Emmie visit my parents. They are her grandparents after all, but why were they hanging out her as if they are all best friends.

"I will find out who did this and I will kill them!" Rylan yelled.

He seemed legit angry. He must really care for Elizabeth and Emmie more than I thought. 

"Has there been any issues going on in your life?"

"I have an abusive ex, but I don't think he would go as far as kidnapping Emmie. He has no reason to."

"Is there someone who does have a reason?"

"No. Emmie is the sweetest girl in the world. I don't understand who would do this." Elizabeth said and she started crying again.

My phone dinged. It was from Tracy.

Tracy: Went out with the girls and I am staying at their place. I will see you later so we can talk.

Well at least I know what she was up to. Now I needed to focus on finding my daughter.

Trent is really serious about getting to know his daughter. It is the sweetest thing ever and just when he is about to get it Emmie gets kidnapped.

I have no sympathy for anything that happens to people who kidnap young children.
