Starla Mcfluffbird

Part 35

Magnus POV

"Me and my search team will continue the search, we will call if we hear or see anything" the officer says getting ready to leave. "Thank you so much officer Jones... please keep me posted". With a nod I walk him out and run a hand through my hair.

It's been a week since Starla has gone missing and I've searched everywhere. I actually met her father which wasn't the right time but for the circumstances it had to be done.

"Magnus sweetheart come eat something" my aunt Ruby says coming into the small living room. "I'm not really hungry- I don't finish when my aunt storms towards me yanking me by the ear.

"Listen here boy you will eat... you are not starving yourself.. now come eat"! Looking at her face I knew she wasn't playing any games so I quickly walked to the dining table. A sandwich with some chips and a tall glass of juice was waiting for me.

Sitting down quickly I devour the sandwich in seconds. I refused to eat and sleep for the past week, everyday I was looking for my Starla... I was desperate. My aunt watched me from across the table eating her own food.

" I know it must be hard Magnus... but have some faith, they will find her and bring her home" my aunt coos rubbing my hand. "What if its... to late.. I'll never forgive myself" I state feeling broken.

"Don't you dare think like Magnus, it's not like you to give up so quickly" she says sternly. Its quiet as we eat our lunch, suddenly I get a phone call from Starla's father.

"Hello Magnus I'm calling to inform you that Martha has gone into labor" he rushes out. I spring up into action grabbing my coat "I'll be there soon" I say quickly hanging up. I kiss my aunt goodbye before rushing to my car, I quickly drive to the hospital.

When I had met Starla's father I told him the situation between me and Martha. Let's just say he wasn't exactly pleased but tried to understand as best as he could.

I make it to the hospital in under five minutes and rush to the front desk. "Hello I'm looking for Martha Mcfluffbird" I rush out huffing and puffing from running.

"She is in room E141" she says grumpily and with that I race to the room. Finding the room I quickly open the door to find Martha in active labor." MAGNUS.. PLEASE HOLD MY AHHH" she screams sweat pouring down her face.

I quickly run by her side trying to comfort her as best as I could.

Two hours later

***

I rocked the newborn baby to sleep as he kept fussing about. I would be lying if I said I didn't find him cute... but damn something in me wanted him to be... mine. I look at Martha who is fast asleep, she had been in labor for twelve hours and I knew she had to be exhausted.

"Lets name him... Logan". That was the last thing she said before she fell asleep. I had been so wrapped up in little Logan he took away all the stress I was feeling due to his aunty Starla who was still missing. Suddenly remembering Starla was missing I gently placed Logan in his little glass holder.

I pulled out my phone seeing that I had so many missed calls. Twenty of them were from officer Jones, I quickly called him back stepping out of the room as to not wake up Martha and Logan.

"This is officer Jones" his rough voice said. "Yes officer Jones this is Magnus I see you called me"... I replied feeling antsy and nervous.

"Well Magnus we have some news for you" he says hesitantly. I clench my hands into fists wondering what his next words will be. "What have you found officer Jones" I finally asked.

"We found a body"...
