So this is my first Numb3rs fanfiction. It's just an idea that kind of formed in my head after I finished the series. I'm really excited about it though. I hope you all enjoy and reviews are greatly appreciated. :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Numb3rs! I do own my OC though.

Don had just pulled an all nighter at the office. He was eager to get back home and catch some sleep. He had dozed off at the office and Liz had came by and woke him up. LAPD had caught the guy they were after. Don gratefully headed home. He walked into his apartment and found Robin up making breakfast. "What are you doing up this early?" Don said with a smile then kissed Robin.

"Today's that big court case. But you probably forgot." Robin said with a smile. "How was work?"

"Exhausting." Don replied as he snagged a piece of French toast from a plate. "We had a bomb threat we had to go to first thing. Then after we got that settled he got called to a minor bank robbery. After the robbery we ended up getting involved with some credit scam thing that ended up being a hoax. The whole time this was going on Colby was undercover with some minor drug dealers. We busted them and then had to go back to the bomb threat we started with in the first place."

"Sounds fun." Robin teased lightly.

"Loads." Don said as he finished off his toast. "Good luck with your case." He kissed her again. "I'm going to bed."

"Oh, Charlie called. You might want to call him back." Robin said.

"Alright." Don said as he started to walk over to the steps up to the bed.

Robin glanced at a clock. "I've got to get going." She turned for the door.

"Love you." Don called as he started up the steps.

"You too." Robin called back. The door shut and the apartment was full of a blissful silence. Don sunk onto the bed without even bothering to strip off his clothes. He was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

It seemed like seconds later that he heard the annoying sound of his cellphone. He was only half awake when he answered his phone. "Eppes."

"Aw, Don, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up." The voice apologized.

Don recognized the voice instantly. "Charlie! How are you doin'?" Don asked excitedly not even taking in his brother's apology. He sat up on the bed and rubbed his eyes blearily.

"I'm doing fine, Don. So is Amita. Actually we're at an airport in Washington D.C. I was wondering if either you or dad could pick us up when we get to LA?" Charlie asked tentatively.

"Of course, Charlie." Don answered. "When do you think you'll be back?"

"Seven or eight hours, approximately." Charlie responded.

"I'll be there."

"Thanks. Oh and I have some interesting news. I want to wait and tell you in person." There was excitement in his voice.

"No problem, Chuck."

Don could almost hear Charlie roll his eyes, but his tone said that he was smiling. "Bye, Donald." He responded then hung up.

Don called Alan and let him know what was going on. He set an alarm, stripped off his clothes, and then sunk back into the wonderful world of dreamland.

Colby was still doing paperwork. He was so tired he was barely keeping his eyes open. He muttered some expletives under his breath as he realized he'd just type the same sentence about three times. Nikki came over and set a cup of coffee on his desk. "Looks like you need it, Idaho."

"Thanks." Colby said distractedly as he took the cup.

"You been here all night?" Nikki asked.

"Ya." Colby replied. He gratefully took a couple big swigs of the black deliciousness. "Don just headed out an hour or so ago."

"You should too." Nikki said. She started to walk away then turned. "Oh, David's replacement is finally coming today."

"Really?" Colby asked curiously.

"Ya. All I heard was that they were a profiler." Nikki walked off after that.

Colby started to feel the buzz of the caffeine hit his bloodstream. He turned back to typing when he heard someone walk past.

"I thought you were leaving, Nikki." Colby said and then turned around. He had to suppress the Oh crap feeling that came over him. Standing right behind him was a totally smoking hot girl that was definitely not Nikki. She had long dirty blonde hair that was pulled back in a ponytail and green eyes. She was a little on the short side at about 5 foot 6. Her skin tone was fairly pale. Colby stood quickly at attention. "Um, hi." She greeted. "I'm Agent McFlinn. I was looking for Special Agent Eppes?" She held out a hand to shake.

Colby took it and nearly melted inside. He hoped he wasn't blushing. "I'm Special Agent Granger. Don isn't here right now, but I'd be able to help you."

"Well I just got reassigned here. I'm supposed to be Agent Sinclair's replacement." She said.

'Please let her be single.' Colby pleaded.

Don, Alan, and Larry were standing at the airport watching carefully for any signs of Charlie and Amita at the baggage pick up. "Are you sure you got the time right? You were still half asleep when you called me." Alan bugged Don.

"Yes, I'm sure." Don replied sharply. "They must just be behind schedule." They'd been standing there for roughly an hour now.

Larry probably would have said something smart about the cosmos but sensed the tension between the father and son. Instead he whistled innocently.

That's when Don saw the mess of curly hair that could only belong to Charlie. "Is that him?" Don asked to make sure he wasn't imagining it.

"It appears to be." Larry said.

"Ya it has to be, Amita's right behind him." A stunned looked crossed Alan's face.

"What?" Larry asked.

Don saw it too.

Amita had a small baby bump.

A broad smile crossed Don's face as he started pushing his way through the crowd to his younger brother. Alan and Larry were right behind him. "Charlie!" he yelled.

Charlie turned at the sound of his name. "Don!" He yelled back as he saw his brother.

Amita already had her luggage with her and spotted the three men coming their way. A broad smile crossed over her face. "Did you tell them yet?" She asked Charlie quietly.

"No, but I think they can see for themselves." Charlie teased.

"Hey, guys, welcome back to LA!" Don said with a bright smile. He hugged Charlie tightly and then let go. Don put a hand on Amita's belly. "Congratulations you guys."

Alan and Larry came into the open space. "Congrats!" Larry echoed.

Alan was still a little stunned. He was going to have grandkids.

That's when the gunshot echoed through the air.

Don was looking his brother directly in the eyes as the bullet tore through Charlie's chest. On instinct he pulled his own gun out to fire at the nearby gunman. The people had already started running away and screaming. The gunman tried to run too.

"CHARLIE!" Amita yelled as she knelt down beside him.
