All Chapters of Mommy! Daddy is Missing.: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The gates are opened and Ford, still in the act of being a perfect gentleman, helps Alexa to exit the car without hitting her head on the door frame even though she wouldn't have without his help.Playing coy, he walks back to the driver's side and intends to leave but Alexa stops him."Thank you for dropping me off, I really appreciate it."Ford fakely. "Sure, anything for you my in law." He jokes."Uhm, I hope you don't mind but you could you come inside for a glass of water or even a cup of coffee?"Ford shook his head in the negative. He knew very clearly that that offer was what he actually needed and what made him drive Alexa all the way from the hospital to her home was to actually find out the information he needed.But he needed to play coy to not seem desperate or suspicious."No thank you. I have business in the hospital. I just felt it was nice to come drop you." He offered and then made to start the car again."Oh come on. Even after I rejected your offer of dropping me a

They exchange looks at the question."Well, a lot happened actually. Get back to the bed and we'll talk. You're not to leave your bed yet." Jean pushes her slightly back to her bed and adjusts her pillow as she lays her head down."Okay now I'm ready to hear.""What's the rush? You need a little more rest.""I feel well rested. I mean, I've rested for almost twenty four no?"They exchange another look and smile. "Almost twenty fours?""Don't tease her, come on."Ford walks to her and sits on the edge of the bed with Ashley in his laps. "You've been there for four days.""Ei. Stop pulling a prank on me. Is this your revenge for what I pulled? I already apologized, come on." Sue laughs and then stops. "You're not kidding.""Yes, I'm not so yes, a lot happened while you were in bed.""Now I really want to know. Stop being so secretive and let it out.""Okay. We'll let Holly tell you... Come on Holly.""By the way, congratulations. I noticed you were already walking the other time but I w

While everyone is somewhat happy and chatting away, Ford can't get the thought of his mum being behind Sue's kidnap out of his head.The food is packed off the table and everyone files to the living room to just sit and chat, while the food digests. Ford sits with Marshall on the couch, lost in thought."You've been spacing out since we found out that Lene was your mum."Ford snaps out of it. "hm?""That's exactly what I'm referring to." Marshall comments.Ford sighs. "What if...?" He starts and shakes his head as if to rid his head of those damn thoughts but it doesn't work.Marshall hesitates, then places his hand on Ford's shoulder. "You should trust your mum more than that. She's a pretty sweet woman. She won't do that to her own best friend.""I want to think that but I keep having doubts.""Get rid of them. Darlene is nothing like that."Ford smiles at Marshall thankfully. "Who would have known?""That what?""You'll actually be able to comfort someone, knowing the right words t

Once in a while, Ford will bring her to visit her mum in the hospital. She'll play for a bit and then go back to Darlene's or even Holly's.Bored out of her head and restored back to health, at least most of it, she plays scrabble with Jean whenever she's around and they chat for sometime before it's past visiting hours and stuffs.Finally, Ford signs the form for her discharge and Sue is allowed to leave for home.For days on end, Ford had been somewhat busy, all around the place, always talking to someone on his phone and most times, Marshall and then sometimes other people that
