Is it considered plagerism if you write a novel that has the same premise but different characters location(both physical and chronological) plot?

Ok. I'm currently writing a book. I have not quite got the title yet.. I'm going to give you a short description of the story plot, and even though it's not that much, I want you to give me the best title you have that you think best suits the story.


Ok.. The story starts off with a young couple finding out the wife is pregnant. So, to tell both of their parents, they take them on a vacation. When at the vaction resort, they tell the parents about the upcoming family member. Everyone's happy and they all celebrate.

9 months later...
A baby boy is born, and they name him Aaron (after Aaron Gillespie). After the couple get's settled back into their daily routine with Aaron, the story continues. One night, when the parents and Aaron are sleeping, someone silently breaks into the house and kidnaps Aaron.
Throughout the book, the parents are getting clues as to who has and where Aaron is.


I have already thought of a mind-boggling twist for the ending.
Thanks for the help!!!

I have a book published in 1877. If I want to sell it how much do you think I can get? The book is written with Cyrillic letters. It's a religion book. It contains prayers & verses of the Bible. I don't really know what exactly contains because I don't know the Cyrillic alphabet, but it has photos with Jesus and Saints. & I think the book is from a lending library.

Ok, I've written lots, for years, for fun. But I got to thinking recently that it might be nice to finish something one day. I haven't got the attention span to write a novel, the short story sounds appealing. So how do you start one? how do you finish it? What makes people read them? Do you need to know how it will finish before you start? Any suggestions or comments welcome, thanks!
