This is the last one for today. I need to rest. I'm really sorry they are short but I just don't have the energy.
I love the Nat parts too

When Mackenzie got upstairs to the closet she whispered to Sharon.
"Sweetheart, you remember when you and mommy came here to look at this house for nana and papa?"
"Yes mama, we used to play in the secret closet. It was fun."
"I know. Which is why we will play it now. But first I need to write you a note. But you really need to listen to me okay."
"K mama."
Once she had the note written quickly she said...
"You are going to go out the secret closet, and into the yard. Very quietly take King and Kong with you. Walk straight down the beach and count the houses. When you get to house number five that's Adam's. Knock on his door, and give him the note. Can you do that for mommy?"
"I can mommy. I promise."
Kissing her daughter on the lips, whispering her love, she sent her through the opening.
"What the hell is taking you so long?"
"I'm coming now. Sharon is going to put some towels in the dryer, to get them warm for the baby."
When she walked into the room, she seen Stetler nod his head.
"No games now."
"Listen. This is my family. I'm not about to get them killed. I promise."
"Good girl. You must be the smart one of the family."
Sitting beside her mother on the floor. She asked....
"I need another pair of hands, could I please use Natalia."
"Get up. Get over there and help. Don't try anything funny."
As Mac watched Nat unfold the towels, Mac looked on nervously.
*Praying Silently.*
"Please God. Allow my child to live. Allow my wife enough strength to get through this. Please try and help us all find a way to survive. Amen.
As Mackenzie checked her moms dilation, she realized she was about 7cms.
"It shouldn't be long mom. Sharon's heating the towels to keep you warm."
Stella looked at her daughter with confusion, for there was no washer or dryer upstairs.
Meanwhile....
Sharon had made it out. Calling King and Kong to come, they headed over to Adam's.
"Mama says I need to count. So be very quiet King and Kong. One house, two house, three house, four house."
When she got to the fifth house, she seen Adam on the patio.
"Adam, Adam, comes quick, everyone is covered in wires and gonna blows up."
"Sharon? What did you say love?"
"Mommy said to give you the note."
Taking the note he read.....
Adam...We have all been taken hostage by Stetler. He has us all wired with explosive, and mom has gone into labour. You are the only one that can help us. But please...NO POLICE, or he will kill us all. He's holding a detinator, he can set it off at any time, the whole house is wired. You must send Sharon back with some hot towels, so she don't look suspicious. Please Adam, find a way to help us."
"Okay Sharon. Sit down for a minute and I'll grab some hot towels for you. Are you scared?"
"Just a little Uncle Adam. He's a mean monster, he boke Aunties arm."
"Aww...okay love. Come on, I'll help you walk back, the towels are very hot. Then King, Kong and myself will follow you in your secret place. After that, we will find a way to get you all out okay?"
"K Uncle Adam, I'ms very scared though."
"I know munchkin. Now let's go."
When they got to the secret opening, Sharon went first, followed by Adam, and then the dogs.
"Okay love. We did it, now you get these towels downstairs okay?"
"K Uncle Adam, love you."
"Love you too munchkin."
"It's about time little girl. Now give the towels to your mom and sit down."
After doing as she was told, she sat beside her papa and cuddled into his neck.
"Papa...she whispered.
I brought back Adam."
"Shhh....good girl."
