Summary: Jules, once Kimberly Hart, and Sam have been married for four and a half years, and their little girl has just turned four. Sam comes back to Team One, hating not being with her. She gets a call one afternoon from her former best friend, Jason Scott, who says that the original rangers, including Adam, Rocky and Aisha, are coming to see her. She panics, because none of them knew why she left, especially Adam and Rocky, her triplet brothers. Will Sam get the truth out of her, and will he, the team, and the rangers, be able to protect her from Tommy, who raped her? Because of him, she has triplets, which she gave up for adoption. What happens when they find their mother, after something terrible happens? What will happen if, and when, the other rangers find out? What will the rest of Team One do? Will Tommy try something? Wordy and Lou are alive, and Greg is still the leader of the team.

Chapter One: The Call
(3:04 am, Braddock residence)
The couple was asleep in their bed, facing each other, with Jules' head on his chest, and his arms were around her. Sadie, their four-year-old daughter, slowly opened their bedroom door, and walked slowly over to the bed, holding her teddy bear, with her thumb in her mouth. She said in a small voice as she stood behind her daddy, "Mommy? Daddy?"
When neither of the parents answered, she said a little louder, "Mommy? Daddy?"
Sam groaned, and turned over, opening his eyes as Jules woke up and propped up on an elbow, "What is it, munchkin?"
"I had a nightmare."
Jules said as Sam picked the little girl up, and put her in between them on the bed, "What about?"
"Someone broke into our house, and took you mommy."
Her parents looked at each other over her head, and Jules said, "Look, sweetie, mommy's right here. I'm fine."
The little girl nodded, and said, "Can I sleep in here?"
Her father smiled, and said as the three layed down, "Sure, princess."
(6:00 am)
Sam and Jules were both awake, hugging their sleeping daughter, when the alarm went off. Jules turned slightly, and hit the button, turning it off. She turned back around, and kissed him, saying, "I'll go get ready, first. Wake her up, and help her get ready for daycare."
Sam nodded, and said as she stood up and started to walk out, "Hey, babe?"
She stopped and turned, smiling, and he said, smiling, "I love you."
"I love you, too."
He looked down at Sadie, and said, "Munchkin, it's time to get up."
When all she did was nestle closer to him, hugging her teddy bear tight and sticking her thumb in her mouth, he smiled, and said, "Sadie, sweetheart, it's time."
She moaned, and opened her eyes as he put a kiss to her forehead. He said as he heard the shower start, "It's time to get up, kiddo."
"But, I don't want to."
He chuckled, and said as he sat up, "Mommy and daddy have to get to work, Sadie, and you've gotta go to daycare."
"But, I don't wanna go to daycare. Can I go to work with you?"
He sighed, and said, "Sadie, we've already talked about this. Mommy and daddy are on a hot call at least once a day. We have a very dangerous job, sweetie."
She nodded, and he smiled. Standing up, he picked her up, and said as he walked out of the room, "Come on, let's go get you dressed."
As they entered her room, she asked, "Can I wear my CareBears t-shirt?"
He chuckled, and said as Jules stepped out of the bathroom, in a towel, "Sure, baby girl."
Jules smiled, and said as she looked into the room as Sam placed Sadie on her bed, "Morning, sweetie."
"Morning, mommy."
As Jules passed the room, Sam said, "I'll have her ready in five minutes, and then I'll go get ready."
"'Kay."
He went over to Sadie's closet, and pulled out her pink CareBears shirt, and a pair of khakis. Walking back over to the bed, he opened the drawer to her nightstand, and took out a pair of panties. However, she took them from him, and said, "I can do it, daddy."
He smiled, and said, "Are you sure?"
She smiled, and nodded. He said, "Ok, then, daddy's gonna go get ready."
She nodded, and he walked out, chuckling. He walked into their bedroom, and Jules said as he closed the door, "She's dressed already?"
He shook his head, and said, "She wanted to do it herself."
"Ah, ok. She's been wanting to do that a lot, lately."
He went over to their closet, and pulled out a t-shirt, and a pair of jeans. He bent down, and opened a drawer under the clothes. Pulling out a pair of boxers, he said as he closed it, "I'll get dressed in the bathroom."
"Are you going to take a shower?"
He replied as he opened the door, and walked out, "Na, I'll take one tonight."
"Ok."
She smiled, and thought, Men, always taking showers at night. She sighed, and walked out. She went into Sadie's room, and when she saw her fully dressed, except for shoes, she said, "Good job, baby girl!"
Their daughter smiled, and Jules looked around, saying, "Where's your flip-flops?"
Sadie answered as she pointed over to the corner, "Right over there, mommy."
Jules walked over and retrieved the flip-flops. She walked back over to her, and handed them over. Sadie smiled, and put them on. Sam came in, smiling, and said, "Ok, girls, ready to go?"
Jules and Sadie nodded, and Sadie got off of the bed. They all walked out of the room, through the living room, and out the front door. They got in their Jeep, and Sam said as he drove out of the driveway, "Who's ready to face the day?"
Both of the females cheered, and Sam laughed.
Jules said as they drove up to the daycare center, and stopped, "Ok, Sadie, there's Sophie. Hold on, and I'll open the door."
Sadie said as she unbuckled and opened the door, sliding out, "That's ok, mommy, I can get it."
Sam looked back at her as she closed the door, and said as they both watched her walk over to the lady waiting for her, "How did she get the door open?"
"She must've snuck taking it off of the child-safety lock."
He smiled, and said as they drove off, "Just like her mom, sneaky and devious."
She smiled, and said, "That's why you love me."
He chuckled, and said, "Well, that, and other reasons."
As they drove into the parking lot, Jules looked at Sam, and said, "Well, we're the last ones here."
He nodded, and said as he pulled up to the door, "Go ahead. I'll be in there in a few minutes."
Jules nodded, gave him a quick kiss, opened the door, and said as she got out, "Hurry up, you don't want to have to pull Sarge."
She shut the door, and ran inside as Sam drove down the row.
(SRU floor)
Sergeant Greg Parker looked up as Jules ran in, and said, "You're late, Jules."
"Sorry, Sarge, we got caught up in traffic."
Before anyone could reply, Sam walked in, saying, "There was a huge five-car wreck down the road from Sadie's daycare."
Spike walked out of the restroom, and said, "How is the munchkin?"
Jules smiled, and answered, "Good, we've trying to get her to understand that she can't come to work with us."
Ed, who was sitting in a chair, said, "You should bring her one day, and have Winnie watch her. When she sees how much you're gone, she won't want to come anymore."
Sam asked, "Are you sure it'll work?"
Ed nodded, and said, "Greg and I both had to do it."
Sam nodded, and said, "Ok, we might try that."
Lou walked in, and Greg said, "Wordy?"
They heard a voice coming from behind the row of filing-cabinets, "I'm here, boss."
Wordy poked his head out, and Lou smiled, saying, "What are you doing back there?"
"I, uh…accidentally threw my phone back here."
The rest of the team laughed, and then they heard, "Team One, hot call!"
Greg said as they all headed for the door, "Gear up, guys."
(house, outside)
The team stood outside, looking at the house, and Greg said to one of the neighbors, who was standing outside, "Can you give me any information? What happened? Who's involved?"
The neighbor nodded, and said, "Caleb and Marissa Matthias live here with their two teenage sons, Nick and Will. I was standing in my garden when it happened. Mr. Matthias came home, apparently very angry. He stormed into the house, and he started screaming at his wife. She tried to calm him down, but when she started to walk toward him, he pulled a gun out, aiming it at her. And, then, Nick, the youngest son, tried to sneak up behind him, but he heard the boy. He turned around, and shot him. After that, I called the police, and they sent you."
Ed said as he picked up his equipment, "Jules, Sierra One. Sam, Sierra Two. Spike and Lou, come with me, and let's see if we can get in through the basement."
They nodded, and went their separate ways. Greg looked at Wordy, and said, "Keep log."
Wordy nodded, and said as he walked back to the van, "You got it, boss."
Greg sighed, and said to the neighbor as he pulled out his cell, "Can you give me their number?"
The woman nodded, and said, "It's 1-485-672-9651."
He said as he dialed the number, and put it to his ear, "Thank you."
A few seconds later, they saw Marissa start to go for the phone, but Caleb said something, and the woman stopped. Greg put the phone in his pocket, and said, "Jules?"
The team heard her say, "I've got the solution."
Lou said, "Boss, we're going through the basement door, now."
Greg nodded, and said, "Good."
Sam said, "Boss, I see the oldest boy with his brother, trying to stop the bleeding. We need to get a guy in there."
"I know. Ed, how you guys doin?"
Ed answered, "We're going up the stairs leading to the main part of the house."
Spike said, "We are now in, what looks like the dining room. Heading for the living room, where the subject is."
A few seconds later, Greg could see the three men come into the room, Caleb turning the gun on them. The team heard Ed say, "Caleb, your son needs help. Why don't you put the gun down, and let us get him that help?"
The man shook his head, and said something. Greg couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Spike started toward the woman, and the man said something else, causing him to stop. Lou looked out the side of his eye at Greg, out the window. Unfortunately, Caleb saw the movement. He looked out the window, and aimed the gun at Greg. When they all saw him put his finger on the trigger, Jules pulled her trigger. When they saw the man fall, the three team members raced forward, Ed to the woman, and Spike and Lou to the two boys. Greg nodded, and said, "Good job, team."
(few hours later)
They were standing in the locker room, talking and laughing. Sam shut his locker, and looked at Jules, who was looking in her locker. He walked up to her, and said, "Good shot today, sweetheart."
Jules looked up at him, and smiled, saying, "Thanks."
Her cell phone rang, and they all looked at her as she looked at it. When she saw the Caller ID, her eyes widened slightly, looked at them, and said, "I'll be right back."
As she walked away, she opened the phone, put it to her ear, and said, "Hello?"
A voice that she knew all too well replied, "Kim?"
"Hi, Jase."
"How are you? It's been a long time. Everyone misses you, especially your brothers. You haven't talked to any of us. You've been ignoring all of our calls."
"I'm good. Why are you calling me?"
"All of us are coming to see you."
"What do you mean?"
"The original rangers, your brothers, and Aisha, are coming down there to visit."
Jules felt like she couldn't breathe as she said, "Tommy's coming, too?"
"Of course."
When she didn't answer, he said, "Are you ok, Kim?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Um, when are you guys coming?"
"I know it's a little short notice, but we're on the plane now. We should be there tomorrow morning."
"Um, can I ask how you know where I am?"
"You kept you communicator, so finally Alpha and Billy were able to locate you."
Dang it. I knew I shouldn't have kept it. She said, "Um, ok. I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye."
She hung up, and took a shaky breath. She walked back to the team, and Sam said, "You ok?"
She put on a smile, and said, "Yeah, I'm fine. Some old friends, including my two brothers, are coming to visit."
Lou said, "You have brothers?"
She nodded, and said, "We're triplets…I left a long time ago, and haven't talked to them since."
Spike said, "You don't look too happy about them coming."
She hesitated slightly, and then said, "I am, it's just…I had an argument with one of them, and he's coming too."
Sam hugged her from behind, and said, "Don't worry, sweetheart, I'm sure he's forgotten about it, by now."
I'm sure he hasn't forgotten a thing. She sighed, and said, "Maybe."
(Braddock house, night)
The couple was sitting on the couch, watching a movie, and Sadie had spent the night with Spike, to give them some time alone. He noticed that she was being very quiet, which was unusual, so he looked at her. He said, "Sweetheart, are you ok?"
When she kept staring straight ahead, and didn't answer, he gently shook her arm, saying a little louder, "Jules."
Startled, she jumped, and looked at him, saying, "Huh?"
"Are you ok? I called you, and you didn't answer."
"Yeah, I'm ok. I'm just worried about tomorrow."
"I know, but it'll be ok. Why haven't you been in touch with any of them, especially your brothers?"
She shrugged, and said, "It's complicated…"
"You know you can tell me anything, right?"
She rewarded him with a small smile, and said as she nodded, "Yeah, I know."
He stood up, and she asked as he walked down the hall, "Where you goin?"
"I'll be right back, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Ok."
She sighed, and thought, No matter what, I can't let anyone find out what Tommy did to me. Someone will get hurt if I do. She laid down, and closed her eyes, waiting for her husband to come back. Or let them, especially Tommy, find out that I have three more kids…because of him.
(few minutes later)
Sam walked back into the room, and didn't see her, so he walked around the couch, and smiled. She had fallen asleep, waiting for him. He turned off the tv, and carefully, yet gently, picked her up. He walked down the hall, and into their room. He laid her in their bed, and turned off the light, before joining her. Taking her in his arms, he soon fell asleep.
(few hours later, Jules' dream)
Kimberly Hart was walking back to the Campbell's house, from the library, when she heard, "Kim, wait up!"
Turning, she saw Tommy Oliver, her boyfriend, running towards her. She smiled, and said, "Hi, Tommy."
When he caught up with her, he took her hand, and said as they started walking again, "Where you goin?"
"Back home, I just got done at the library."
"Cool, can I come over for a little while?"
"Um, sure."
They walked down the street, and rounded the corner. When they reached the house, they walked through the gate, up the steps, and onto the porch. As Kim unlocked the door, Tommy said, "Is anyone home?"
She shook her head, and said as they walked in, shutting the door behind them, "No, they went shopping for my birthday. They shouldn't be back for a few hours."
As she headed for the stairs, she said, "I'll be right back, I have to put something in my room."
He nodded, and when she was halfway up, he started to quietly follow her. When she walked through the door of her room, he followed her in, and quietly shut the door, making her jump slightly. She turned around, and said, "Tommy, what're you doing?"
He started to walk toward her, and said, "What do you say we have a little fun?"
"What do you mean?"
He gripped her waist, and said, "You know what I mean, Kim."
"Tommy, you're scaring me."
"Aw, come on, Kim. You know you want to."
"Tommy, I think you should leave."
"Can't do that, Beautiful."
She tried to get away, but he pushed her back onto the bed, and she said as he got on top of her, "Tommy, stop! Help!"
"No one can hear you, Kimberly."
As he started to take his shirt off, she screamed, "NO!"
(reality)
Little did she know, Jules had been murmuring in her sleep, and it woke Sam up. He started to shake her gently, trying to wake her up, when she said, "Tommy, stop! Help!"
He shook her a little harder, and then she shot up, eyes open, breathing hard as she screamed, "NO!"
He said as she looked around frantically, "Jules, sweetie, are you alright? What's wrong?"
She looked at him, and said as she continued to breathe hard, "I'm ok, it was just a nightmare."
"You mentioned a Tommy in your sleep. Who is he?"
"He's the one that I got into the argument with."
He nodded, and said, "Oh. Well, I'm sure everything will be fine. Do you want to try to go back to sleep?"
She shook her head, and said, "No, I'll just go watch tv. I don't want to take the chance of the nightmare continuing."
He nodded, and said as he kissed her forehead, "Do you want to talk about it? Can you tell me what the argument was about?"
She shook her head, and said, "I don't really remember what it was about."
Once again, he nodded as she got up. She leaned down, kissed him, and walked out. Lying back down, he thought, I trust her, but for some reason, I feel like she's not telling me the whole truth. When she's ready, I hope she knows she can tell me. A few seconds later, he was fast asleep.
