What A Way To Live

Cat what?

Carter wakes up and looks over to see Laura holding Willow and crying. He leans up and says geez, what happened? Laura laughs and says you're okay, they made it look like you and Willow were kidnapped, so they put you in there roughly and you passed out. He grins and says" Oh my god, it's so good to see you. I missed you so much. I couldn't take it anymore, so I tried to walk away and then the men in the van got us. I have never been so happy in my life to see you. He gets up and goes over to sit on the other side of the van with her. He leans in and kisses Laura. She grins at him and says, Oh, I missed you both so much. I'm so glad we are all back together. Carter smiles at her and says, what about Sarah? Do you think she will follow us? Won't she try to come back? Imba leans back behind a curtain in the front and says, Oh, don't worry about that anymore. It has been taken care of. Carter sighs and says" Can we please go home? Imba says to our home, or do you mean Lauras and your home in Morristown, NY? Carter says," I want us to be a family in our own home, not to be rude, Mr. Imba. Imba smiles and says" Oh good, I have a surprise for you guys. Carter says you are not mad that I want us to be in New York? Imba smiles and says," I want you guys to be wherever you feel comfortable and if my daughter and granddaughter are happy, so am I.

Later, they arrive at a hotel in Pittsburgh, PA. Imba says we can stay there for the night. We have about a seven-hour drive tomorrow. He says to everyone "get well rested, and we will regroup in the morning". Carter and Laura grab Willows' bag and say we need more milk and clothes for Willow. Carter says I need clothes as well. Imba says don't worry, I called ahead and have clothes and necessities waiting for us in our rooms. Carter says Mr. Imba thank you so much. We appreciate you and everything you do for us. Imba laughs and gets out of the van and tells the driver to park in the back. Laura and Carter get out of the van. Laura has not put Willow down since she got her back. She says," Carter, you are my hero. Thank you for keeping our daughter safe. Thank you for not letting her do anything to our family. Carter looks at Laura and says, baby I wouldn't have it any other way. They walk to an elevator and see guards around them. Carter asks the guards, can one of you guys do me a favor? Rich, as they call him, says yes, what do you need? A big tall guard at the back of the elevator leaned up to look at Carter. Carter, feeling safer now than ever, will you watch our hotel door and alert me if anyone tries to break in? Rich grins and says we will be watching your door regardless, Mr. Imba hired us to do just that. Rest assured, you can rest tonight, Mr. Carter. Carter, now smiling at Laura, says thank you guys so much. I don't know where I would be now without you guys. The guards all look at Carter and start laughing, Rich says we know. We would all be freaked out if our dead wife showed up out of nowhere. Laura grins at Carter and says, OK, guys stop picking on him. Carter says, well, anyway, thanks for keeping us safe. Rich says all jokes aside, we got you. Carter looks up and the elevator dings. They all get out of the elevator, and walk down the long hallway to room 940. They walk in and see their luggage sitting on the end of the bed. A baby bed in the corner, with a desk and a couch on the other wall. Carter opens the bag to see fresh clean sets of clothes for him and Laura. He looks over at her and says, call your mom to see if she can watch Willow, so we can get showers and get clean. Laura says OK and calls Carissa. She comes to the door, and Rich calls out Mrs. Carissa is here. I don't think you're in any danger. She is approaching. Carter and Laura laugh, and Laura says oh they are never going to let that go now. Carter says, well, at least we are safe, that's all that matters.

Carissa grabs Willow and willows things and takes her to her room. Carter and Laura make their way to their shower, to see a huge tile shower, with many shower heads, and a bench. Laura smiles over at Carter. Carter says, join me beautiful as he steps, in the bathroom and grabs her waist. He runs his hand down her back, and slowly kisses her neck. He says" Oh god, I've missed you so much. Laura moans as Carter runs his hand in between her legs and pulls her to the shower. She leans in and kisses him. Carter grabs the soap and a washcloth next to him. He soaps Laura up and runs his hands all over her body. They wash up and get clean and make their way to the bedroom. Laura says, now that I'm all better and healed. Put your hands on me, Carter. He smiles at her, and they fall onto the bed.

Later, Carissa brings Willow back and lays her down in the crib. She says, get some sleep. We have a big day tomorrow. They say thank you and Carissa goes back to her room. They lay in bed and talked until they both fell asleep.
