Jenelle watches as the color completely drains from Ty's face, his eyes bulging and jaw hitting the floor.

"I'm sorry? Did I hear that correctly?"

"Yes. See this?" Jenelle starts, showing Ty the stuffed pig, "This was mine when I was young. If my theory is correct, then my mother used this plush toy to persuade Rosalee into going with her, but then they had to run once they got out of the store and ended up losing the stuffed animal along the way."

"Why would your moth-?"

"Why would my mother kidnap her own granddaughter? Well, I don't know, but my guess is she thinks I'm so much of a disappointment that maybe kidnapping and raising Rosalee for herself would make her more of a successful parent." Jenelle cuts Ty off, voicing her theories out loud rather aggressively.

"Well, what should we do now?" Ty is so taken aback by this that he genuinely isn't sure what to do next. Should they bring it to the police? Or, maybe Jenelle knows where Rosalee might be?

"Do you have any idea where Rosalee could be hidden?" Ty voices his thoughts, keeping his tone gentle in an attempt to not upset Jenelle any more than she already is.

Jenelle thinks for a moment, trying to remember any sort of details from her childhood that could hint to Rosalee's whereabouts. Then, it hits her like a sack of bricks.

"I think I know where she could be! My dad used to always take me up to a cabin not too far from here for little camping trips during the summer, it's within walking distance. That has to be where Rosalee is. I know my mother wouldn't have taken Rosalee to her house because that would've been too obvious." Jenelle exclaims, finally feeling sure of something for the first time since she lost her little girl.

"Well, let's not waste time and check it out. I say it's probably best to go and see for ourselves first before alerting the police, just in case we're wrong."

"Okay, just keep your phone on you. Come on, I have to see my daughter." Jenelle takes off running into the greenery ahead of them, Ty falling close behind, as they make their way to, hopefully, where Rosalee is being held captive.

Resting his hands on his knees, Ty breathes heavily as an attempt to catch his breath. Looking up, he can tell that Jenelle is also out of breath, but she completely ignores that fact as she stares head on toward the log cabin Ty previously failed to notice.

"This is it." Jenelle whispers, a mixture of emotion in her eyes, so much that Ty is struggling to decipher them. He's only able to read anger, grief, and guilt from Jenelle's expression, nothing else.

Taking one last deep breath, Ty stands up straight and takes a closer look at the log cabin surrounded by nature. The log cabin in front of them is a simple dark brown with accents of camouflage green. The plants surrounding the front of the cabin have long since withered away and the cobwebs hanging from the awning above the porch hint to a long absence of human activity.

"Are you sure they're here? Maybe it really wasn't your mom after all . . ." Ty trails off, unsure of how to approach this scenario. It really doesn't look like anyone is in that cabin, but when Ty looks at Jenelle, he can see on her face there's no point in arguing. Jenelle knows her daughter is in that cabin. She doesn't know how or why she knows, she can just feel it.

Before Jenelle can respond to Ty, however, a loud clattering sound can be heard from inside the cabin. Jenelle and Ty look at each other, their faces simultaneously wearing expressions of fear and surprise.

"Let's go find our daughter." Jenelle quickly says, turning around and making a run for the back of the cabin.

Normally, Ty would have smiled at Jenelle calling Rosalee their daughter, but now was not a smiling time. So, instead, Ty scurries off after Jenelle, keeping quiet so they have the element of surprise.

The banging sound they heard previously sounded a lot like a slamming door, so Ty's guess is they have time to go in and see if Rosalee really is being held here. The only problem is, he doesn't know how long the person who slammed the door will be gone for. Relaying all of this information to Jenelle in a quiet voice, Jenelle speaks up.

"It's worth the risk, Ty. I don't care what happens to me as long as my baby girl is safe. We have to try." Jenelle pleads, her eyes welling up for the umpteenth time since her little girl went missing in that grocery store. Jenelle has never felt more desperate for anything in her life. If someone told her to jump off a cliff or never see your daughter again, Jenelle would jump off that cliff without hesitation. Her daughter is her everything.

Ty wasn't planning on giving up, he just wanted Jenelle to be aware of the possible negative outcomes. Ty eagerly agrees with Jenelle about this being worth the risk.

Nodding his head toward Jenelle in agreement, Ty slowly walks around the back of the cabin, trying to find a window to look into. Jenelle follows close behind, her heartbeat picking up and hands trembling.

Ty finally spots a small window on the side of the cabin, heaving himself up using his hands on the windowsill to peek through. Taking a discreet look inside, being sure to keep his head down, Ty intakes a sharp breath of air at what he sees. Sitting in the middle of what Ty would guess to be the living room, is Rosalee coloring at the coffee table right in the center of the room. Trying to keep calm to stay quiet and avoid alerting anyone of their presence, Ty slowly sweeps his gaze around the room in an attempt to spot if anyone else is present. He sees no one else in the room with Rosalee and slowly lowers himself back down to the ground, returning his attention to Jenelle.

"She's in there." Whispers Ty's deep voice, a frown beginning to form on his face as he starts to strategize.

"She is?!" Jenelle exclaims, clearly forgetting that they were to remain quiet.

"Shhhh!" Ty shushes her, making his way to the back door in hopes of getting to Rosalee before her kidnapper comes back, Jenelle right beside him.

"Sorry." Jenelle whispers, the dread growing in the pit of her stomach for fear of this not going well.

Ty doesn't respond, simply too focused on trying to open the back door as quietly as he can. He turns the knob, only to find that the door is locked.

"Dang it! Is there something thin and sharp around here I could use to pick this lock with?" Ty whisper shouts, looking over his shoulder at Jenelle who's now busy looking around the cabin for something that would help them get the door unlocked.

Spotting something shining in the light that still remains as the sun starts to set, Jenelle crouches down and picks up the small screw. Standing back up, she returns to her spot behind Ty.

"Will this work?" She whispers, thrusting her hand that's holding the screw toward Ty. Ty looks down at the screw Jenelle holds in her hand and his lips pull into a small smile.

"Yes, that's perfect."

After about three minutes of Ty meddling with the door's lock, he finally gets it unlocked and signals Jenelle to follow him as they creep their way into the cabin. Ty begins looking around, making sure no one is there with them while Jenelle runs to Rosalee.

"Rosalee!" She exclaims, completely disregarding her inside voice as tears of relief roll down her face. Rosalee looks up, an expression of shock on her face before it quickly fades into a smile. She jumps up from her spot on the floor by the coffee table and runs toward her mother, meeting Jenelle half way.

"Mommy!"

Meanwhile, Ty is busy making sure they have time to leave before the kidnapper returns. He can't help the smile that forms on his face after seeing the two girls hugging each other, their relief and happiness shown through the tears escaping their eyes. A loud screech takes the small family out of their reverie, causing Ty to run over to Jenelle and Rosalee in case he needs to protect them.

Rosalee clings to her mother as Jenelle looks down at her daughter with concern filled eyes. Ty, on the other hand, is looking straight into the barrel of a hand pistol, the color draining from his face as he catches the eyes of Lili Nicols, Jenelle's mother.

"What do you think you're doing?!" The woman screeches, taking a step closer toward the family of three.

"Mom, what do you think you're doing?" Jenelle whispers through gritted teeth, her anger and fear contradicting each other.

"What do I think I'm doing? No, what do you think you're doing, Jenelle?" Lili's nasally voice quips, her eyes full of pure hatred, like nothing Ty has ever seen. Jenelle is sure to keep Rosalee in her arms, the girl's head cradled against her mother's chest to prevent her from seeing anything that will make the ten year old girl even more scared than she already is.

"Why would you do this?" Jenelle doesn't understand. Sure, Lili wasn't always the nicest mother, and maybe even became a tad bit emotionally abusive after her husband, Dustin, passed, but Jenelle never would have thought Lili could do something like this. Jenelle isn't sure which emotion of hers is dominating the rest. Anger? Sadness? Shock? She just can't tell.

"You grew up to be a disgrace! I never wanted you in the first place, but your father convinced me to have you. I regret listening to that man! We messed up big time raising a worthless piece of trash like you, so I took your daughter to start over. Maybe Rosalee wouldn't be such a disappointment. Surely, she wouldn't get pregnant at 16, unlike some." Lili seethes, the hatred she holds for her own daughter clear as day in her brown eyes, so dark they appear almost black.

"Don't talk to Jenelle that way! She's a much better mother than you could have ever been, you monster." Ty grits, his face contorting into disgust.

"Me? The monster?" Lili laughs, actually laughs at Ty, "Says the one who walked out on his family!"

Ty is taken aback for a minute, before regaining himself and stepping closer to the manic woman.

"If I had known Jenelle was pregnant, I never would have left, so don't you dare talk about us like you know anything, because you don't." His voice is surprisingly calm, yet still manages to send chills down Jenelle's spine.

"Mom, what have I ever done to you to treat me this way?" Jenelle cuts in, wanting to break up the fight Ty and Lili had started.

"What have you done? You were born. As soon as I gave birth to you, Dustin gave all his attention and love to you and only you. He would get mad at me when I told him to stop giving you attention, telling me that you're our child and that you deserve love and more crap I didn't bother remembering. You took my husband away from me! Now I want to take something from you, too. If I can't take Rosalee away from you, then maybe I'll just shoot her." Lili turns the gun to Rosalee, getting ready to pull the trigger.

BANG!

"TY!" Jenelle screeches, watching as Ty lays hunched over on the floor. He jumped in front of the two girls right as the trigger of the gun was pulled, saving Rosalee and sacrificing himself to do so.

Jenelle wants to run to Ty, but she knows she can't leave Rosalee, so she stays put, tightening her arms around her daughter as more tears spill from her gorgeous amber eyes.

"What an idiot." Lili starts, realizing what Ty just did and turns the gun toward Rosalee yet again, "That's not enough, she has to die, too! You're going to feel the pain you caused me by taking Dustin away from me, you hear!?"

Just as Lili goes to pull the trigger yet again, the sound of sirens echoes throughout the cabin as red and blue lights flash through the windows.

"Dang it!" Lili grits through clenched teeth, dropping the gun as she makes a run for it, realizing the police are there and attempting to escape before getting caught. She doesn't succeed as the front door is kicked open, several police officers and paramedics racing onto the scene and handcuffing Lili. It all happens so fast that Jenelle can barely blink before she's outside, watching Ty being lifted into the back of the ambulance van with Rosalee by her side.

Jenelle rushes to the ambulance, pulling Rosalee along and hopping in, refusing to stay put as the love of her life gets rushed to the hospital. The paramedics let her and Rosalee on without qualms, and the two race over to the now semi conscious Ty on the stretcher.

"Ty? I thought you were dead!" Jenelle screeches, more tears of relief cascading down her face like a waterfall as her eyes connect with those vibrant green eyes Ty and Rosalee have in common.

"I'm . . . okay." Ty coughs out, somehow still possessing enough strength to grab ahold of Jenelle's and Rosalee's hand.

Rosalee doesn't quite know who this man is, all she knows is that he saved her life and she will be forever grateful. And, for whatever reason, he means an awful lot to her mother, automatically making him important to Rosalee.

"How did the police know to come?" Jenelle asks, realizing that they just came out of nowhere at the perfect time.

"I called them . . . when Lili was talking. She didn't notice the phone I pulled out . . . behind my back." Ty manages to get out, smiling at the two.

"I can't believe we did that." Jenelle laughs, unable to comprehend everything that happened in the last twelve hours.

"I can't . . . either. Jenelle, I love you, and I'm never leaving you again."

Jenelle can't help the extra tears that escape her eyes at hearing those words, unable to believe that they actually have a chance of being happy together.

"I love you, too. I never stopped loving you, Tyrus." She whispers, smiling at Rosalee and Ty both as they make their way to the hospital. At that moment, all three of them know everything is going to be okay.
