Chapter Four

Sarah-Jane

Being six months pregnant, they finally put me on desk duty, and I hate it. I’m cranky, hot, and above all bored. Nothing ever happens when on desk duty. My desk phone rings, and I answer it.

“Constable Hart.”

“Yes, I’d like to report a kidnapping,” the deep masculine voice I know so well says.

“Oh, really?”

“Absolutely. Can you come to 735 Hillside Drive?”

“What’s at 735 Hillside Drive?” I ask, the address unfamiliar to me.

“The scene of the crime. What kind of cop are you?” Daniel asks and I laugh loudly. “This is no laughing matter, officer.”

“Right. I’ll leave right away.”

“See that you do,” he says and hangs up. I grab my stuff and walk out of the office to my car. Inside, I struggle with the seatbelt and realize this will probably be the last time I drive with this belly. I make the twenty minute drive over to the address he gave me. I moved into Daniel’s five bedroom cabin the day after we met. It was a huge step up from the crappy efficiency apartment I live in. My parents live in British Columbia, which is where I grew up, so when I was transferred to Whitehorse for work five years ago, I was all alone. I went home every chance I got because my place was too depressing to invite my parents too. In the last six months, they’ve been out here ten times already. They love Daniel who honestly doesn’t know what to do with that love. He grew up alone in a shitty orphanage in Toronto and then was in the army. Then he was all alone, until he met me, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. Hence, being knocked-up so soon after meeting. He asked me to marry him right away but once we found out about the baby, I wanted to wait until I could wear the dress of my dreams. That pretty much went out of the window when he gave me two weeks instead. A quiet ceremony and brunch was all I wanted so it was just my parents and us.

I pull up to the mansion and I am surprised by it. Getting out of the car, I enter the open front door.

“Daniel?” I call out.

“Hello wife,” he says coming out of the kitchen.

“What are we doing here?” I ask.

“I want to buy the place. What do you think?”

“Um… what’s wrong with the house we have?”

“It’s too far away from town. What if something happens to you or the kids?”

“Kids?”

“Surely you don’t think this will be the only one.”

“Well no,” I begin.

“So I am thinking about the safety of our family.”

“But we have a house. This might be too much.”

“You hate it?”

“No, but I love the house we have already. It’s only seven miles from town.”

“You don’t want to live in town?”

“No, I want to live with you out in the woods,” I tell him firmly.

He’s always so sweet to me, looking after me, but I don’t need or want anything extravagant like this.
