It was a very quiet night in Dallas it was getting colder as the moon shinned in the sky. The wind was the only sound as it moved the branches of the trees making shadows on the windows. Sydney walked from the bedroom to the hall and stopped in front of her daughter, Sienna's, bedroom. As she watched her beautiful daughter sleep her mind flashed back to a few years ago when Ramon Ortega kidnapped her once again but this time along with Erika and Alex. Ramon made Syd believe that Sienna was dead thank God she wasn't dead. She shook her head not wanting to even think about if Sienna wasn't alive and well. That wasn't the only thing bothering the ranger Cabral had killed Sienna's best friend.

Flashback

The Gage's stood at the funeral watching the coffin go underground the coffin that Lucy was put in. Sydney looked all around trying to hard not to shed a tear. All she saw was graves and more graves all around her. Sydney felt so guilty about this but she also felt fear and sadness. Fear of how she could help Sienna get through this very difficult for all of them. Gage placed his hand on his wife's shoulder and gently squeezed it to make her come back to reality. Sydney looked up at her husband and he made motions it was time to go. As they walked back to the car both of them turned around and saw their daughter still watching the coffin tears rolled down her cheeks. Gage went over and lifted her up and held her in his arms. "Come on sweetie. Time to go home." Sienna didn't say a word just a nod of her head.

End of flashback

Sydney couldn't erase that day off of her mind, she was lost in her thoughts that she did not noticed Gage behind her, he put his hand on her shoulder making her jump.

"Syd, what are you doing up? Do you know what time is it hon, is 3 o'clock in the morning" Gage said putting his arm around her waist, she placed her hands on top of his and leaned back on his chest, Sydney closed the door walking downstairs, her husband behind her. She entered the kitchen went to the fridge and took the juice out and pour it in a glass.

Not to far from the Gage's

A woman about her 30s held a baby boy about 5 months-old in her arms with a blue blanket, with a bottle of Vodka in one hand and her son in the other, she was tired she knew it was the best thing, she was determined to do it and she knew if she didn't do what she was going to do the baby could die in her care, she climbed a few steps and place her son on the floor and ring the bell after that she ran off and the baby knowing he was alone started to cry.

Sydney hearing the bell she stood up and turned around looking at Gage. "Did you hear that?" Sydney said

"Yes" Gage said opening the door, "Oh my god" Sydney bend down quickly and took the baby that was on a basket inside the house closing the door, the woman walked out of the shadows and with tears in her eyes, she went back home, she felt relief of getting rid of her baby but she also felt guilty.

The baby was starting to fuss, Sydney rocked him back and forth until he fall asleep in the arms of the petite ranger, Gage took the blanket that was on the basket "Matthew, so your name is Matthew uh" Gage said to the baby and caressed with his fingers his tiny face. "Gage what is that?" Sydney said pointing to a paper that was on the basket, Gage took it and started to read it "I know that you are good people that is why I decided to let you Matthew in your care, believe me is for the best".

"That's it?" Sydney asked to her partner "No name, address, telephone or something"

"No shorty I'm afraid not" Gage looked at his wife who was falling asleep, he took one of her hands and squeeze it "come on honey, is time to sleep" Gage told her helping her to get up and taking the baby in one arm and with the other embrace his wife, Sydney entered to their bedroom and laid down and the bed within seconds she was asleep, Gage stood on the door and smiled to her, he then walked to the nursery, "thank god we didn´t changed anything" he thought Gage placed Matthew in the crib and close the door, he then joined his wife, she curled up in a ball resting her head on his chest he automatically pulled her closer to him and fall asleep.

Sydney yawed and opened her eyes as the light from the sun was shinning in their bedroom. She looked over at her sleeping partner and husband. She smiled at him remembering all the days they were undercover. She thought back to the most important day of her life when she helped Gage when he temporally lost his hearing. Even though he yelled at her once but right after he apologized to her she never let that stop her from helping him. After he had the surgery she stayed right beside him sitting in a chair. Her fingers running through his hair, she knew the surgery was a 50/50 chance. She knew she had to tell him her feelings. So, while he was deep sleep she told him or was he really?

Flashback

"You know Gage, there's some things, I wish I would have told you...I love your voice, I just love the sound of your voice and every morning when I wake up I can't wait to hear it and every night when I go to sleep I wish you were there...I can't believe I never told you that I can't believe..." Sydney said looking at his socks "the big holes you have in your socks" Gage started to move his head and with a sleepy voice he said to her "this are my favorite socks Syd, what are you talking about?" Sydney move his head looking at him not believing what she was hearing.

"Did you hear me?" Sydney said looking at her partner "Loud and clear" he answer, she stood up form her chair "Oh my god, you can hear" she said embracing him, her hands moving around his neck and laughing "Is good to hear your voice" Gage said returning her the embrace, she broke the embrace too look at his face "I can't believe it, you can hear me, you can hear me, I've go to tell... Walker, Walker he can hear, Gage can hear" she then came back to where Gage was and that is when her words hit her head "Hey, hey wait a minute, How...How long have you been hearing...I mean, Did you hear" Gage just smiled and looked at her, she started to fire question to him but was interrupted by her boss Walker, Trivette and Alex who were now on the room greeting the junior ranger. Trivette embrace his friend meanwhile Sydney was asking the same questions "Gage, How. How long?", Trivette looked at Gage.

"Remember Gage you owe me money" Trivette said teasing his friend.

"What? What?" Gage said pretending not to hear what Trivette was saying, Walker looked at Trivette "OH he can't hear you now" they all started to laugh.

"Gage, How long like Did you just came out of thing or..." Gage looked at her

"Not long Syd, why, why do you ask?"

End of flashback

Her thoughts were interrupted as she felt her husband lips in top of hers.

"Good morning honey" Sydney said to Gage

"Good morning shorty...we need to talk to Walker about..." but he couldn´t finish what she was saying, Matthew was crying, Sienna opened the door and climbed to where their parents were.

"Hi sweetie" Sydney said kissing Sienna's cheek the 8 year-old looked at her mom "I don´t remember having another brother or sister" her innocent and sweet voice said.

"Let's go downstairs to eat breakfast and then we'll tell you everything ok" Gage said lifting her daughter and going downstairs, Sydney stay behind and went to the nursery to feed Matthew.

Walker's ranch

The sunbeams passed through the window giving more light to the dark that was on their room, Walker looked at the clock that was on the cabinet, he sighed knowing it was time to wake up, he looked at the person next to him, he smiled at her passing his hand through her soft and blonde hair, she felt his hand and slowly she opened her eyes.

"Good morning cowboy" Alex greeted her husband "coffee?" she asked, Walker nodded his head, she threw the covers and headed downstairs to where his wife was, he stopped in the middle of the hall and looked at the door in front of him, he smiled knowing his little angel was still asleep and continued to walk.

Sienna looked at Matthew who was smiling and laughing with her. Sydney with a cup of coffee in hand looked at her daughter playing with the baby, she didn't want to admit but she was starting to love Matthew, she knew it was going to be a problem, Gage from the kitchen looked at his wife lost in her thoughts "What exactly is running through her mind?" he thought, he stood up and went to where his wife was.

"Syd, Are you..." Gage couldn't finish his question, Matthew started to cry desperately, Sydney turned to Gage giving him her cup and hurried to where Matthew was with Sienna.

"What happened?" Sydney asked to her daughter.

"I don't know mom, when I touched his stomach to tickle him he just started to cry" Sydney lift his little shirt and saw marks on his soft skin...the marks were still fresh but why didn't she saw those marks in the morning...and Why Matthew didn't give her a sign that something was wrong?.

"Oh my god, Gage! We have to take Matthew to the hospital now!" Gage who was in the kitchen was now next to Sydney watching the marks, Sydney lift him up in her arms and together they headed to St.Matthew´s.
