Chapter 99 — The Beginning Of New Life
Mary almost falls asleep on the way at home. In Mason's hands she feels so good and cozy that even when the car stopped nearby their house, she's not wanted to get out at all. But it was necessary. The driver waved them and got off, quickly speeding up. Mason and Mary stay alone.
Mason walks to the building's door, but then stopped.
"Mary? Is something wrong?
She shook her head.
"I still some confused. And now we should beat off from relatives."
"They are not too terrible... If you want I can go in and make them leave out."
"No, Mason," Mary deeply sighed. "Let's go together."
"If you are afraid that they'll eat me?"
"No, just I wish to finish all as possible as quickly."
"Me too."
Mason lowers his head and covered her lips by his mouth. Mary starts to kiss him and forgot about all.
"I just cannot believe my eyes!" upset CC's voice interrupted them
Mason and Mary jumped up as teenagers who caught up by their parents.
"Dad--" Mason begins, but CC's not allowed him to continue. "Instead of informing us that you're fine and is not died somewhere, what you are doing?"
"Am I actually needed to explain?" Mason hemmed. "I'm kissing my own wife."
But CC already turned away and looks at Mary with his furious sight. "Well, I do not expect that you're so irresponsibility too!"
"CC, we had not any chance to call!"
"You disappeared even in the afternoon and explained nothing!"
"I had my reasons. Whether besides, you, CC, confidently declared me last tonight that Mason just drunken and come back in the morning."
Mason moved and sacredly looked at Mary. CC pursed his lips.
"I had reasons to think like that."
Mary shook her head. "No one. Except your bias against Mason," she looked back at her husband, then again moves her sight at CC. "I am sorry, but we're very tired. How are children?"
"They're fine," CC responded thoughtfully watching both of them. "They're with Sophia and Kelly now."
"Eden?"
"She's with Cruz at home. She was hurt by your hysteric, Mason, and then your mysterious disappearance. If Mary was right, you were kidnapped?"
"Mary always is right. Yes, it was the kidnapping."
"I guess that you informed the police."
"No. Actually I did not."
"What?"
"Father, do you think that now it's time to talk about it?"
"Yes. However, Mary really looks tired. She really need have a rest."
Three of them go up to Mason's apartment. Christie rushed to hug Mary, and Kelly rushed to hug Mason. Then comes Sophia's turn to hug and short phone call to Eden who was afraid that news about Mason just false one for makes her comfort. She really believes that it's truth when she heard her brother's voice. When all trouble settled, Mary exhausted collapsed on the bed.
"I even cannot move," she said, climbing under sheets. "It seems to me that I searched for you the whole year though it's was quicker that two days. Mason, if kidnappers wanted some ransom for you?"
"I'll tell you later. Sleep."
"Only if you'll embrace me. I cannot be without you--"
"No problems. Because I also cannot be without you."
Mason embraced Mary, inhaling scent of her hair. It was impossible to find words that he felt now. When he was with her — he was the single whole, without her — just a half of him. He tried to expel a grief from his memory which was still painfully felt. Now Mary was beside him, absolutely close — cannot be closer. Alive, naturally his Mary...

Mary wake up and found out that she is alone in the bed. She looks at clocks and surprises how late already were.
"Mason!" she put her feet down on the floor and suddenly felt a nagging pain in the small of her back. It's because her yesterday's adventures or...?
"Wake up, my sleeping beauty?" Smiling Mason showed in doors, he's completely dressed and had baby's bib in his hand. However, seeing that Mary's face screwing up and she rubs her stomach, he getting frightened."
"Mary, what is wrong? It's baby?"
Instead answering Mary stands up and bent, pressing her hand to her stomach.
"I'll call 911!" Mason rushed to the phone.
"No, don't! Mason, it's progressing--"
"Of course, I'll do! You feel bad! What's mean "it's progressing"?"
"Mason," Mary caught him by his sleeve. "Focus here, please. I have the progressing... labors," Mary manages through her teeth when she's squeezed by other contraction. Mason stunned, and Mary pulled him again. "Mason! Do you want to make me giving the birth just here?"
"What? No!" Mason finally comes around. "For God's sake, let's doing it in the hospital."
"I'm agreed but my baby will not wait if we do not hurry."
After fifteen minutes Mason already drives the car and Mary tried make the right breathe and do not scare Chip and Samantha who cannot understand what's mess around. All of way Mason constantly asked Mary how she feels, and when they finally reached, Mary was almost ready to knock him by something heavy. Fortunately it was not required and Mary's getting in skilled hands of doctors.
Mason remained to stay in the waiting room and did not understand what's supposed to do now. However, his confusion lasted not for long as Samantha and Chip already walking around the room. Mason caught Chip, put him armpit, then he takes Sammy's hand and walks to the phone booth. Closed in the booth, he's put his son on the floor, released daughter's palm and began to dial the number of Capwell's house. He's feels afraid and joyfully in the same time. Soon he'll have the son! His own son and Mary's.
