Ethan's POV

"Have we gotten anywhere?" I asked Marco, letting out a frustrated sigh. Why can't we find where Silver is? It's been a week and we haven't made any progress in finding her. Detective Somerset and Conan have been trying their best to look for her with their contacts but they haven't gotten anywhere either.

"No." Marco groaned as he continued to stare at his computer screen.

I was tired of sitting here and doing nothing. Aiddan was getting cranky from not seeing his mother and I didn't know what to do. The only person that could sooth him down when he got hysterical was Ashton. I don't know how he did it but as soon as he picks up Aiddan when he cries for his mother he immediately goes silent. It was like pure magic.

As of right now Aiddan was sleeping calmly on the couch curled up in a blanket. Gently I picked him up and made my way to Marco's front door. Before I could leave Ashton jumped in front of me glaring at where I was holding Aiddan.

"Where are you taking him?" He demanded with a hoarse voice.

"Home." I replied blankly, looking at him indifferently. "He needs some semblance of normality and we could both use a shower. So I am taking him home."

Slowly his expression softened. He looked up at me with apologetic eyes. After a while he grudgingly moved from the doorways, allowing me access out. Before I could say anything he kissed Aiddan on the forehead and turned to walk away. Staring after him I go to talk but he suddenly stops to look over his shoulder.

"Take care of my nephew." He spoke gruffly, his face filled with pain.

"I will." I whispered, feeling slightly choked up.

Walking out the door I walk towards the driveway. Gently putting Aiddan in the car so he doesn't wake up, I start to think about what has been happening to his family.

My son is such a strong kid. He's got cancer and he's battling it like a champion. His mother has been kidnapped, although he doesn't know that. When I showed up, a father he hadn't known his whole life, and he just accepted me with no questions asked.

Okay. I chuckled to myself as I started the car and backed out the driveway. There were a few questions. But he still accepted me into his life with open arms. He showered me in love that I hadn't been able to have or give for the first years of his life. My son truly is a soldier.

Within no time we are finally back at our house. Careful to not wake him I gently pick him up and carry him into the bed. Making sure to shut and lock the door, I start down the hall towards Aiddan's room. Settling him into his bed I tuck him under the covers. Softly I close the door before starting to go to the bathroom down the hall.

Silver's POV

My heart pounded as Rhys slowly opened the door outside the compound. We had finally been summoned to meet my kidnapper and we put our plan into action. Silently Rhys led the way to a car and got in. Following suit I made sure to get in the back as the guards were watching us carefully from the house.

The car started and I kept my head down trying to conceal my happiness. I didn't bother to watch where we were. I knew I probably wouldn't recognize the area. Turning down a winding road I felt the car jerk as it hit jagged rocks. We were going faster than we should have been but what can you do when escaping?

Looking out the window cautiously I see that we had made our way into the run down side of town. We began to slow down as the car came to a stop. Rhys ran out of the car and into a building as fast as he could. I assume this is where his sister is.

Almost as soon as he left Rhys was back. But he brought an adorable little girl. She had long blonde hair that looked to be well kept. It framed a slender, pale face that held bright electric eyes. She looked as if she was older than she truly was. It was as if she had seen something devastatingly traumatic and she was forced to grow up before her time.

Coming to think of it, she probably had. I forget that she had to live with my kidnapper and God knows who he is. Or what he is capable of. Never did I want this child to have to go through that again. I may not know her personally but I felt as if it was my duty to shield her from harm.

Call it motherly instincts or whatever. All I knew is that I would do anything to give these two kids a better life. Especially since Rhys was literally risking his just to do what was right. After this was all said and done I plan on making them a home within my heart. And physically in my house. Or...Ethan's house, I guess. And if he won't allow it I know that my brother would. I would just return to his house because these two children were now a part of my family whether they knew it or not.

I know Rhys understands that I was going to find them a place to live but I don't think he understood that I was going to give him a new family. If he and his sister would accept it that was.

Lost in thought I didn't notice that we had made our way towards downtown New York until Rhys pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Huh?" I replied dazed. "Sorry, this is all just slightly overwhelming."

"It's fine. I just need directions to this Ethan guy's house." Rhys laughed awkwardly as he glanced back at me and his sister.

Nodding, I began to direct him towards the house. In no time we arrived and hurriedly ran to the door. Knocking on the door I was slightly surprised that it didn't fall off the hinges by how hard Rhys and I pounded on it. The door suddenly gave way and I almost fell forward but a hand caught my arm just in time.
