"No, it can not be her. James, can not be our little girl" Jessica cried on James's shoulder.
"Hey, look at me ..." James grabbed her face "... everything will be fine, I promise."
Jessica just nodded.
"I need to go now ..." he said as he wiped the tears from her face.
"Ok ..." she said in a whisper.
***
It's been an hour since James left. Jessica was alone in the house worried. She was in the bathroom staring at the mirror, lost in her own thoughts. Tears rolled down her face. Somewhere in her heart, something said that Sophia was dead. Jessica felt powerless because she could not done nothing to prevent. She felt guilty about Sophia's kidnapped.
"Maybe, if I had not insisted on the idea of traveling ... maybe ... she would still be here" she sobbed.
"IT'S YOUR FAULT!" she shouted, staring at her reflection in the mirror.
"You were not born to be a mother ... you can not even raise a child" she cried desperately.
"No ... no, no ... nooooooooo" she punched the mirror angrily.
"YOU DO NOT DESERVE A FAMILY!" she screamed and stared at the blood in her hands.
"Sophia did not deserve to die...you deserve to die!"
Jessica looked at the pieces of glass over the bathroom sink. "I deserve to die, not her ..." she took a piece of glass and pressed it hard on her wrist.

James was at the morgue. There was a little girl's body in front of her. A cold, lifeless body. He stared at her for a few minutes.
"Mr. Parker, do you recognize this girl as Sophia Parker?" asked the policeman.
James did not answer. He just kept staring at the girl. Tears rolled down his face.

24 hours before ...
Sophia was asleep when she heard the sound of the door opening. She opened her eyes and saw a man approaching. It was Luke.
"Hi princess. I did not want to wake you" Luke said with a wicked grin.
"Where's Bobby?" she asked, sounding sleepy.
"Bobby is not here. Do not worry, I'll take care of you" he stroked her cheek.
"BOBBY !!!" she screamed.
"CALA BOCA YOUR LITTLE SHIT!" he hit her hard against her mouth.
Sophia felt a horrible pain and the taste of the blood itself in her mouth. She began to cry immediately.
"Do not cry little girl ... I already told you I'll take care of you" he kissed her hair.
"You're evil ..." she said through her tears.
"Do not say that ... you do not want me to hurt you again, don't you?"
"No ..." she cried.
"This is my little princess ..." he took her in his lap and held her head against his chest ".... no, do not cry".
Sophia hated Luke. He hurt her whenever he could. Sometimes he would leave her without food. Everything was a reason to punish her.
"I HATE YOU!" she screamed and bit him with all the strength she had.
"YOU LITTLE BITCH!" he shouted out in pain and threw her to the ground.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!" he began to kick Sophia's belly hard.
She wrapped her arms around her body trying to protect herself, but he was a thousand times stronger. All she could do was scream in pain. There came a time when the pain became unbearable and she saw everything going dark.
"WHAT A FUCK!" Bobby came in and ran to Luke. But before he could get him away from Sophia, Luke pulled out a gun and pointed it at Bobby.
"It's not your fucking business" Luke shouted.
"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? YOU WILL FINISH KILLING THAT GIRL!" Bobby screamed angrily.
"THAT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM!"
"But it's my problem ..." Luke looked at the door and saw a man standing there staring at him.
"Boss?"

"Mr. Parker?" the policeman called him once more.
"What?" James was pale and confused.
"Do you recognize this girl as Sophia Parker?"
"No, it's not her..."
***
"Jessica?" James entered the room.
There was no answer, so James went to the bathroom.
"JESSICA!" he yelled as he found Jessica lying on the bathroom floor. There was a lot of blood on the floor.
He ran and checked her heartbeat. Jessica was still breathing, but her pulse was too weak. James quickly picked up some towels and stagnated the bleeding.
"Hey, stay with me ..." He took her in his lap and led her to the car.
***
At the hospital...
James was the hospital waiting for news of Jessica.
"Mr. Parker?" the doctor called him.
"How's my wife?" he asked desperately.
"Your wife lost a lot of blood, but she's fine now."
"Thank God, can I see her now?"
"Not yet. We're doing some tests to see if everything's okay" the doctor said.
"But you just said she's okay. Why do more exams?" James asked confused.
"Mr. Parker, your wife is fine, but we need to know if everything is okay with the baby."
"Baby?" James looked at the doctor.
