CHAPTER 8

*******DREW'S POV*******

It had been a week since Carmen had gone missing and Amy hadn't gotten any better. During the day, she would sit on the couch and cry and at night she would sometimes wake up screaming. I had tried everything to get her to calm down a little and I had tried telling her that Carmen would be ok and none of that had worked; she just kept sitting there crying and refusing to talk to anyone, even me. It's not that I didn't miss Carmen too; I just had to be strong for Amy. I was devastated that Carmen was missing but I had faith in her and I knew where ever she was, she would be ok, she was a strong girl. I walked downstairs and saw Amy on the couch with her head in her knees. I sighed. She hadn't been eating either and I was starting to get worried about the baby. As much as we both loved Carmen and missed her, we had to remember that Amy was having another baby and she needed to keep it safe. I would hate to lose Carmen and our baby and I knew Amy would be even more devastated if that happened. I walked up to her and put my arm around my shoulders and sat down. She looked up for a brief second and then fell into my chest crying.

"What is it now love?" I asked stroking her hair

"You look so much like her!" she sobbed into my shirt

I sighed trying not to cry. "Amy, everything is going to be ok, Carmen will be fine; she's a strong girl"

She slowed down her sobs and I looked to see if she was asleep. She was awake, and sat up

"Drew, I can't handle this kind of stress, I'm pregnant!" she said rubbing her belly

I sighed. "I know love, I know, but everything will be ok, the police are doing everything they can and I'm sore Carmen is safe where ever she is." I said rubbing her back

"What if something happens to the baby?" she asked looking at me, her eyes full of tears

"That's why you need to be strong, for the baby. Think of little Flynn, he wouldn't want his mommy to be sad"

"But I can't help it Drew, Carmen's gone!"

"I know love, it's ok to be sad, you just have to be strong for the baby, he needs you too"

She sighed and wiped her nose. "I know"

"That's the spirit" I said smiling weakly. "Are you hungry? You haven't eaten in a while and the baby needs you"

She nodded

"Do you want me to make you something?"

She nodded again

I got up and went to the kitchen. She flopped down on the couch and turned on the news staring at the screen intently.

Ten minutes later, I was carrying a hot bowl of soup to her on the couch. She sat up and ate it gratefully. When she was done, she snuggled in to me.

"Thank you Drew, for everything" she whispered

"You're welcome"

"I love you"

"I love you too, so much" I said and kissed her head

She pulled my head to her lips. It had only been a week but it had seemed like she hadn't kissed me in forever. I kissed her back enjoying the feel of her lips on mine. She pulled away and snuggled into my chest hugging me. I hugged her back stroked her back until she was asleep.
