your niece and baby together, do you … do you have a child?”
he asks
    “Will that change things?” I retort
    “If you have a child that is safe
and sound with a family member….well then no, but if you are… If you are
pregnant then that changes things. Considering that I have looked into you
fairly thoroughly the last few months I think it’s doubtful I would miss a
hospital document of you giving birth… So are you… Pregnant?”
    I pause. I watch him for several
moments. I haven’t said the words out loud. Not once. When Dean was telling me
he didn’t believe he could be the father, I knew that if I was pregnant it was
his baby, but the words “I am pregnant.” Have not left my mouth. Should I tell
him? Does it put me into graver danger if I tell him that yes I am in fact
expecting? What if it changes things for the better? What if it means that they
will let me go because I am pregnant? Maybe one of my captors has a soft spot?
I decide to be naïve and optimistic.
    “Yes, Adam. I am pregnant.”
    “Fuck.” He shouts. He stands up
quickly, storms across the room to the door and enters the code to the door.
Slamming it behind him when he exits.
    Optimism just bit me in the fucking
ass.

Chapter 11
    A week passes.
    Adam doesn’t talk to me. He brings
me in a tray of food. Looks at me briefly and then leaves. Slamming the door
behind him.
    I watch TV. The movies are all
crime dramas and romances. I find that a little sick in humor. I have a feeling
that these are movies that interest Adam, rather than what he thinks I would
enjoy as for the romance, well just not interested in seeing other people fall
in love. There are several cable stations, but I notice quickly that all news
stations are blocked. I have no idea what the date is. I know it has been
around a week, but I have no idea what the time of day is. I have no idea
exactly how much time has passed.
    I cry. More and more each day.
Until one day, several days later I feel like I can’t cry another tear.
Something in me snaps. No one is coming for me, Dean would be here if he knew
where I was. Adam isn’t going to help me. What is crying going to do? I can sit
here and feel sorry for myself, I can feel the emotions of sadness,
hopelessness and despair but what the hell does it fix? No one cares. No one is
going to make me feel better.
    I wonder what Jaxon and Josslyn are
doing? I wonder if they know nearly 2 weeks later that I have been kidnapped or
if they think I am just busy with work. Jaxon and I talked nearly every day,
but he knew I was with Dean, maybe he assumes I am closing myself off to be with
him? I wonder what Alexis thought the night when I didn’t leave the club? I
know she would look for me. I know that she would know that I wouldn’t go this
long without talking to her. Would Ryan have stopped her and told her not to
bother looking for me? Would she go to Jaxon and tell him that she has a bad
feeling? Would it even matter? My brother and best friend don’t have the means
nor the knowledge to expect that any of this has happened that I was being held
captive by a crazy mob guy. I don’t even think that Jaxon knew what Ashley’s
family did. He didn’t know they were a crime family, he never would have gone
near her. I would have heard him mention it.
    No. Jaxon wouldn’t know I had been
kidnapped.
    Later that evening I took a long
bath. When I was done I crawled into bed and turned on a movie.
    Adam came in shortly after.
Carrying my dinner on a tray.
    “Everyone is out on a job.” The
first words spoken since he asked if I was pregnant days ago.
    I say nothing. I just begin eating.
    “We can talk.” He adds
    I nod, still eating.
    “Dean received the video. The first
night you were here. He hasn’t contacted my dad further. I talked my dad into
giving him more time.”
    “How do you know he got it?” I ask
    “We have a computer guy, he was
able to see when the email was opened and the video was downloaded.”
    “The
