Iris' POV:
Nora has been missing for two weeks now. The pain in my chest grows stronger with each second that goes by and she's not here. A million thoughts run through my mind. Is my baby okay? Is she eating, is she sleeping? Is she even breathing?
The cops have been to Patty's house, but there is no sign of her anywhere in Central City. Why would Patty take Nora, why not bring her back home instead of taking her? All this is running through my head, but I'm broken from my train of thought by the sound of Francine calling my name.
Francine: IRIS?!
Iris: (sad) Yes?
Francine: (concerned) Sweetie you need to eat something.
Iris: (sad) I'm not hungry.
Francine: (concerned) Iris you have to eat. I know you're hurting right now. We all are, but you're still pregnant and you still have to take care of yourself and the babies.
Iris: (sad) I'm not hungry.
Cecile: (concerned) Iris Francine is right. Will you please eat something? Even if it's just a piece of fruit.
My dad and Barry comes into the living room. They were out putting up more missing persons flyers. They notice the concerned looks on my mom and Franchise's faces.
Joe: (worried) What's going on?
Francine: (concerned) She won't eat.
Cecile: (concerned) No matter what we say or how hard we push she won't eat.
Joe: (concerned) Baby girl will you please eat something?
Iris: (sad) I'm not hungry.
Barry comes and sits next to me on the couch. He pulls me into a hug. I close my eyes and rest my head on his shoulder. He rubs my back and whispers in my ear.
Barry: (sad) Honey you can't keep going like this. It's not healthy for you or the babies. I understand the pain you're feeling. I feel that same pain, but please for me eat something at least for the babies sake.
Iris: (sad) Okay.
Barry: Thank you. Now I'm gonna run out and grab you something really quick.
Iris: (sad) No. I don't want you to leave.
I cling to him tighter.
Barry: (sad) Okay I'll make you something then. I'll be right in the kitchen if you need me.
Iris: (sad) Okay.
We pull out of the embrace. Barry goes into the kitchen and I automatically turn back and continue staring at Nora's picture on the wall.

Nora's POV:
Ms. Patty picked me up in her car and bringed me to this very strange place. I been here for a really long time. It's dark and cold. I tried to leave, but only the door is locked and the window won't open. I think maybe it's broke. I miss my mommy and daddy.
When Ms. Patty picked me up in her car she said she was gonna take me home, but she fibbed. She didn't take me home she bringed me to this strange place. I can't yell or make noise because Ms. Patty don't like that. It makes her angry and if she get angry she will spray me with really heavy water and it hurts. Ms. Patty comes in and I get really scared and hide in the corner.
Patty: (mean) Since you were a good little girl today I'm gonna let you call your mommy and daddy.
Nora: (sad/scared) Really?
