Chapter 7-“Honey, can you take his foot out of my pocket?”  

It was now August, and Liam Fenton Hardy was a very happy six-month-old baby, even after the trauma when he endured when he was seven days old.  He had brilliant blonde hair and gorgeous sapphire blue eyes and had an on growing personality that had ‘Joe Hardy’s my dad’ written all over it.  

Joe and Kayley had become very close to the four friends they had made in the hospital, Jack, Tim, Louise and Sammy had become like elder brothers and younger sisters to them. They were always over at each other’s houses visiting and Joe had been discussing an idea with Jack and Tim that both men seemed to be very enthusiastic about it.  

At about six pm that day, Joe came in from work, followed by Jack and Tim, and Louise and Sammy were visiting with Kayley, helping her keep the apartment and look after Liam.

“I’m back,” Joe called out as Kayley appeared round the corner of the fridge.  

“And here I thought it was my secret lover,” Kayley smirked as she kissed Joe.  

“Well…if I ever happen to meet him, I’ll tell him you’re looking for him,” Joe said with a grin as he returned the kiss.  Pulling back he smiled as Jack and Tim greeted their girlfriends and then he saw Liam. “And there’s my little man,” Joe said, his voice full of awe and pride, as he picked Liam up and hugged him close.  Liam squealed in delight as he put his chubby arms around Joe’s neck.  

Joe had still been wearing his summer jacket when he’d picked Liam up and hadn’t noticed Liam’s foot had slipped into his pocket. By the time Joe did notice, Liam had wriggled his foot around so much that it was knotted in the jacket and Liam was increasingly frustrated.   Joe glanced down, noticed the problem and groaned. He looked over at Kayley. “Honey, can you take his foot out my pocket?”  

Jack, Tim, Louise, Sammy and Kayley erupted into laughter. Kayley was still laughing as she moved forward and released Liam’s foot from the pocket.  

“Like father, like son.” Kayley grinned. “Always sticking his foot where it isn’t usually needed.”  

“That was priceless,” Jack said, breathless from laughing. He gestured to Joe’s jacket and the baby’s foot. “Just how many times do you hear that?”  

“That’s the first time.” Kayley grinned and looked over at Joe.  

“Oh yeah, laugh it up guys.” Joe said and smiled as he nuzzled Liams neck. “Because I don’t think it’ll happen again.”  

                                                          ****  

Joe was just bringing Liam down stairs after giving him a bath, when a news report came on the news. He and Kayley had seen many but none that could send shiver down his spine like this one.   

“Frank Hardy, son of the famous private investigator, Fenton Hardy, is today putting out an appeal for anyone who knows his brother.  Joe Hardy and girlfriend Kayley Knight both went missing from Bayport after claiming they were ‘baby shopping’.  

Frank, who recently became a father himself six months ago, is asking people, to contact ‘Hardy Sleuths’ on the number provided if you have any information regarding Joe and Kayley.   

This is the final plea, the families are putting out.

That’s all for now, back to you Jake Harlington, in the studio.”  

Joe starred at the screen in shock. He’d expected his family to eventually give up searching for him, but not so soon. Especially since it seemed that the family and everyone involved still seemed to think that he and Kayley had been kidnapped. What bothered him most though was he knew both Frank and his father had traced his Social Security number to Virginia . Why did his family still act like he and Kayley had been kidnapped?  

Kayley and Joe shared a look. They would always feel guilty about leaving Bayport so suddenly, but what made it seem okay was that they had thought it was the best action they could take. They hadn’t wanted to feel like a burden to Joe’s family and yet in their attempt to NOT hurt them, apparently they had. 

Sighing Joe turned to sit next to Kayley has he settled his arm around her. It was too late now, thought Joe. Too much time had passed and things had changed. He’d changed. He looked at Kayley and held her a bit tighter.  

Jack smiled at them and Tim grinned. Joe, Jack and Tim had become very close in the past six months; they did practically everything together. Shopping, taking Liam for a walk, anything and everything, they were like a big family, and that made it easier some days….  

Looking back on the past year, Joe cringed. It was true they hadn’t gotten in contact with anyone, and pictures were the only the only reminders they had of their families.  

Kayley and Joe had had a rough start, but things were slowly looking up. They had it worked out that they could both go to college in another year, Joe had already started a night course in Psychology and Sociology. Joe also had his qualifications from the training as an engineer.  

Kayley wanted to take a ‘Health Studies’ and eventually either become a paediatric nurse or general nurse.  Sammy was majoring in ‘Psychology’ and Louise in ‘Cosmetology’.  

Jack and Tim, like Joe had taken ‘Book-keeping and Accounting’ and ‘Physical education’.   

Even though eventually they wanted to open a ‘non-profit’ organisation to help people, for now…they where content…for now anyway.
