Jana and Nick arrived at the police station late that night. Jana walked into the station first and then Nick pushed passed her looking for Officer Martin.

"Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Carter I’m Officer Martin right this way." The short bald man said to them as they shook hands and then they followed him down the hall and into an office where Nikki was sitting in the corner.

"You fucking bitch how could you do this? How irresponsible are you? I can’t fucking believe you did this. It’s all your fault!" Nick yelled at her as soon as he saw her.

"Mr. Carter please calm down." Officer Martin said as he stood in front of Nick.

Nick glared at Nikki as he sat down crossing his arms and then focused on Officer Martin. Jana shook her head and sat down in the other corner of the office.

Officer Martin filled Nick and Jana in on all the things Nikki had told them and then asked if there was anything else and if they had a recent picture. "One more thing just to let you know this is going to go public in the morning." He said looking directly at Nick.

Nick looked back at him and said, "I don’t give a shit if its public I want my damn son back."

"Ok just covering all bases." He said raising his hands in defense.

"So what do we do now?" Jana asked quietly from the corner.

Officer Martin looked at her. "Now we wait." He said calmly.

Jana closed her eyes sighing and then opened them back up to look at Nikki. "Nikki where is Alyssa?"

"In the room next door sleeping." Nikki replied softly staring at her hands.

Jana jumped up and ran out of the room while Nick talked to Officer Martin some more.

Jana walked into the room to see Alyssa sitting in a chair sleeping peacefully. She slowly walked over to her and picked her up gently and then sat back down as she held onto her tight rocking her back and forth.

Nick looked through the window in the door to see Jana holding onto Alyssa as she rocked back and forth. He couldn’t help the smile that was forming, and then immediate guilt that washed over him when he saw that she began to cry.

Nick lightly knocked on the door and then walked in quietly. He sat down across from Jana as they stared at each other intently.

"Officer Martin said we could go." Nick said softly.

Jana nodded as she continued to rock Alyssa back and forth.

Nick got up and walked over to Jana kneeling in front of her. She looked at him weird as he looked up at her. "I’m sorry baby." He whispered. "I’m so sorry that I hit you, I always said I’d never hit a woman no matter what and god I feel so low. I feel like I don’t have control over anything, I feel like I’m watching the life that I thought was perfect crumble right before my eyes." He said softly as he reached his hand up to her cheek lightly moving his finger across the forming bruise.

Jana winced when he touched her face and started to cry again.

Nick stopped what he was doing and looked back at her. "What?" He asked concerned.

She shook her head and stood up. "Let’s go." She said softly as she made her way out the door.

Nick watched her walk out the door sighing and then started to follow her.

"You guys I’m so sorry, I can’t believe this happened I feel horrible." Nikki said in the car on the way home.

"Nikki." Jana said trying to reason with her and make her stop apologizing.

"No Jana, let her go on. I want to hear what she has to say." Nick said calmly.

"No, she’s said enough. She’s sorry it was an accident, there’s not much else she can say." Jana said looking at Nick annoyed.

"Fuck Jana you don’t understand do you? Someone took our son, something could be happening to him right now and you act as if it doesn’t even bother you but I guess you would do that because you never really wanted him."

"Nick that’s not fair." Jana replied.

"Oh it’s not fair? Should we really talk about what’s fair right now? How can you be so calm not knowing where our son is, whether he’s alive or not? How can you do that, I can only think of one reason."

"Don’t say it." Jana said growing angry.

"Say what? The truth?"

"What’s your problem now a few minutes ago you were different; apologizing?"

"No, I just wanted to let you know I was sorry, I’m still pissed though."

Jana sighed as she crossed her arms and stared straight ahead.

"What? Do you think I shouldn’t be mad? That I have no reason to be angry with you?" Nick asked looking over at her and then back to the road.

"I don’t want to have another fight while Nikki and Alyssa are in the car." Jana said softly.

"Yeah whatever." Nick said rolling his eyes.

"God, Nick grow up." Jana said shaking her head.

"Don’t-."

"Would you two stop? Alyssa is going to wake up." Nikki said quietly from the back seat.

They didn’t reply, Nick continued to drive home and Jana continued to stare out the window.

The rest of the ride home was in silence. They got back to the house and Jana got out and immediately went to the backseat to get Alyssa out while Nick headed to the front door and Nikki just sat there.

Jana brought Alyssa upstairs, Nick sat down on the couch putting his hands over his face and rubbed his temples and Nikki cautiously walked into the house and quickly made her way to the guest room steering clear from the both of them.

Sighing heavily Nick got up from the couch turned off the lights that were on downstairs and slowly made his way upstairs to their bedroom. He got to the top of the stairs and saw Jana standing in the doorway of Trenton’s room just staring and it looked as if she was crying or she had been crying.

Jana looked over at him when he started to move closer. They just looked at each other as he got closer; he grabbed her hand and led her into their bedroom. He may still be mad at her but he didn’t like to see her dwell in what was going on, he didn’t want to see her so stressed out and just a big mess. He knew that it was inevitable but that she was going to be like that. Hell, he was like that but he kept it in he just hated to see her upset. All his emotions were so scattered right now, he was mad at Jana but he didn’t want to see her upset. He was upset about Trenton and what he found out. And he was mad at Nikki; he just couldn’t focus on one emotion.

They walked into the bedroom and Nick let go of her hand and went to his side of the bed and stripped down into his boxers as Jana crawled into the bed. Nick got in her back facing him; he wrapped his arm around her waist and rested his hand on her stomach as he pulled her back closer to his chest. He kissed her neck gently. "I love you Jana." He whispered and then closed his eyes.

Jana closed her eyes and began to cry when Nick whispered that he loved her. She sniffed. "Love you too." She replied before fresh new tears began to fall down her face. She smiled through her tears, even though it seemed like her life was crumbling before her, she had a small speck of hope that maybe everything would be alright.

She closed her eyes and forced herself to stop worrying about Trenton and everything else that was going through her head. She sighed and tried to go to sleep.

Nick slowly opened his eyes to the sound of the house phone ringing and then his cell phone ringing and Jana’s cell phone. He sighed as he got up, and turned the TV on, news sure did travel fast and it wasn’t even nine o’clock and it’s on the weekend.

He turned on the TV ignoring all the phones that were ringing as he started to watch the TV intently. Then the newsflash came on.

"This is Rebecca Smith for Channel 8, breaking news today. Trenton Carter, son of pop star Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys, was kidnapped yesterday afternoon. He was last seen in the Tampa Bay mall wearing a blue Nike shirt and jeans with white tennis shoes. He is six years old and has blond hair and blue eyes. If you see him or have any information the Tampa Bay police department is asking you contact them immediately. As always we will keep you posted on any new information as soon as we get it. Now back to your regularly scheduled program."

Nick put his head in his hands and forced himself not to cry. This was a good thing, it was now public the more people that knew then the better the chance of finding him. Right?

"Nick?" Jana said as she moved down to him and cautiously put her hand on his back. She knew he was crying she didn’t know what to say or do though. She saw the last part of the newsflash, so was there something she missed that made him that upset. She started to slowly rub his back as he started to cry a little louder.

He slowly looked up at her, his eyes red. "I hate to cry." He said wiping his eyes.

Jana smiled softly and said, "It’s ok to cry baby. It’s good to cry."

"Jana, if something happens to him so help me god whoever did it will be sorry. I’ll fucking kill them." Nick said staring intensely at her.

The look in Nick’s eyes told Jana not to doubt what he just said. She didn’t want to think about something bad happening to Trenton. She’d much rather think of the positive things like getting him back and when that was going to happen.

"I don’t know what I’ll do if something does happen to him, Jana I’m not sure if I can handle it." Nick said as he started to cry harder and he grabbed her waist and pulled her to him as he hugged her tight and continued to cry.

They rocked back and forth together for the longest time until someone started to knock on their door. Jana pulled away from Nick kissed his cheek and walked over to the door and opened it slowly.

Jana looked at Nikki strangely as she walked in the room with Nick glaring at her still.

"I just wanted to tell you I’m leaving. I’m going to go back home. I’m truly sorry for what happened I know you hate me now and everything but I don’t know what else to say besides I’m sorry. That I didn’t mean for it happen." She said looking at Jana.

Jana walked over to her and hugged her. They separated and Jana said, "I don’t hate you, I know you didn’t do it on purpose. Accidents happen stop beating yourself up over it. He’s going to be ok."

"How in the fuck can you be so fucking sure?" Nick yelled as he stood up. "It is her fault; she should beat herself up over it. She lost our fucking son and you are acting as if he’s gone for a few days and he’ll be back anytime now. Open up your damn eyes Jana our son was kidnapped and it was her fucking fault." Nick continued to yell and point at Nikki as the phone began to ring again.

"You know Nick I’m tired of you yelling at me about this. I know it’s my fault damn it you don’t have to keep fucking rubbing it in my face." Nikki yelled back.

Jana walked over to the phone and answered it. She didn’t say anything until she hung it back up and looked up at Nikki and Nick looking at her curiously to who was on the phone.

Jana took a deep breath. "That was Officer Martin; he wants us down at the police station as soon as possible." She said softly staring at her hands and then she slowly moved her eyes up to look at them.
