Captured (Part 2 and 3)

Tatiana POV

Waking up in a dumb slumber, looking over to clock realizing I've been asleep for the past 4 hours. Tiredly getting up from my bed, noticing the large suitcase I had packed for myself. Making my towards it, opening it I sigh in relief at the sight of my clothes, sadness washing over me as I notice the kids' clothes. Making my way over to the bathroom, brushing my teeth I notice the dark circles covering my red and puffy eyes. Hopping in the shower as more tears slid down my face, breaking into a sob as I was losing my husband, I had lost Elizabeth, the thought of my babies being out there getting hurt, my pain doesn't matter anymore, all I wanted was my kids and husband. It's all the matters to me. Sitting in the shower for a while until the water got cold before wrapping a towel around my body.
Grabbing the sweats in my suitcase, a knock breaks my thoughts, "Mrs Giordano" Alexis' voice calls out, "your father is here to see you" she says through the door, "should I ask him to give you time?" She asks, my lips quivering, "no, tell him I will be right out" I croak. Getting dressed in a pair of grey sweats, tying my wet hair in a messy bun.

Making my way to the lounge area, seated on the couch his eyes make contact with mine as he got up from the couch, stalking over to him pulling him in a tight hug as tears streamed down my face, "I lost everyone" I cry, "no honey" he whispers tightly holding onto my sobbing body, "you still gave me" he breaths as I cried into his arms, "I don't think I can anymore" I cry uncontrollably, "yes you can honey I promise you, you can do it" he says cooingly, sitting down the couch as I continued to hold onto him in silence. "Tatiana" a voice calls out, looking up my eyes widen, "MOMMY!" the two people I never thought I would ever see again running towards me, engulfing me in a hug making me cry in relief, "oh my god" I cry at my two angels, "I thought I lost you two" I sob in disbelief, looking up at smiling Stella. Managing to calm down I found out Luca had memorized Stella's number as her business card was always laying around the house, so when she got to the bar he called her, if her men had come a minute when those men were taking them, they would have been gone. She didn't say anything for the past days because she didn't trust anyone with them but rather waited till she heard I was back. Tightly holding onto her, pulling away as she wiped the tears off my face, "thank you" I croak, "I told you I will always have your back" she smiles. Looking over to Luca, pulling him in for a hug, "you are so brave my baby" I say in disbelief, "you both are" I cry, looking over to Laura realizing she has a cast on her leg, "what happened baby" I ask in sadness, "I fell when I was getting down the tree, auntie Stella called a doctor" she says in sadness. More grief filled me as they told me how Elizabeth died for them, how she refused to tell the men where they were, that woman had become a mother to me. I know and knew she would do anything for us, crying in my arms as Stella and my father gave us a moment.

I guess there's hope after all
