Kidnapped III: Offspring//Mike Vitar Fanfic COMPLETED

Chapter One: 2018

Lori's POV (Current Age: 38)

I don't think about it much anymore, as young adults one year after we graduated high school, Mike and I once again were face to face with the drug dealers. Just like in 1997 when Mike had quit his acting career and settled into my small town to lead a normal average life...together we had escaped and survived the wrath of the drug dealers. I'm sure glad those days are over...the druggie parts I mean...not all of it was bad. I smiled at some of our more fond memories as younger adults. Like all the times Mike and I had cuddled in bed all night long in our small apartment. It didnt even seem that long ago...but it's been twenty years!. I'm shocked at how fast all those years went by. Mike and I are now happily married, for nearly ten years now, along with two kids. One boy and one girl named James and Elise. James was now ten years of age while Elise is Nine. Mike and I are currently the same age...Now thirty-eight. Damn how time flys! I thought. It was the middle of the day on a Saturday, Mike was with James outside playing catch with a baseball while Mike pitched and James catches. I sat on the couch and watched the two from the window, I smiled watching how happy the two looked spending time together. It's always important for a boy to have a strong relationship with his father. Same goes for Elise, I think its important to have a mother/daughter bond every now and then like Mike does with James. Mike is amazing with kids and he loves them, when I first delivered James ten years ago, Mike knew perfectly well how to take care of a child. Like he's done it before. I practically used to raise my little sister when I was younger, my parents always worked he would say. Not that I couldnt take care of a child either, I just think its fascinating that a male actually knew how to parent right off the bat after I delivered James. Then one year later I was pregnant with Elise, and Mike took care of me and James and constantly kept telling me not to stress over stuff or do things that would be stressful on me. He was always good about that. Still is.

9:45pm

Elise was getting tired and fussy and Mike went to go tuck her in in bed while James came out and sat next to me on the couch with a blanket wrapped around him, "Cold?" I ask. He nods, "and tired" he whispers. I giggle a bit, "Go to bed then silly" I say, I see a smile appear on James' face and I leaned in and gave him one of those big slobbery kisses on his cheek. He always hated that but his reaction was always so adorable, "Mommmm! Stop it! You got saliva all over me!" He says, I laugh and give him a friendly nudge, "Oh Boo hoo, I love you!!" I exclaim joyfully. James rolls his eyes but with a smile and I wrap my arms around him. Mike had come back out from settling Elise down in bed, James gave me a hug, "Goodnight mom" he says and walks over to Mike wrapping his arms around him. Mike hugs him back and plants a kiss on top of his head, "Night buddy" Mike says softly, "Night dad" James responds and wanders off to his room. Mike and I exchanged happy faces with each other as he sat down next to me and wrapped his arm around me pulling me in. I told him about what I started thinking of today, "I haven't thought of it for a long time but...I can't believe how quickly all those years went by...I even thought about the...drug incidents" I say covering my mouth gently with my left hand. Mike pulls me a hair closer, "That's not gonna happen again...I promise, you don't need to think or worry about that night again...please..." he said quietly. I look at him and smile warmly as I plant a kiss on his cheek and snuggle up in his arms. Like I've always said...I feel safe with this man. Michael Anthony Vitar.
