Prologue

When they got to the airport it was raining. The entire way here he'd been trying to get what was going on out of Emily. She looked at him. "I'll tell you know when I know for sure. I love you, I'll be back in ten days."

"I love you too." He sighed. "If you need me you know where I am."

"I know. Take care of the kids." She kissed him.

"Take care of the baby." He kissed her back and rubbed her stomach, at 7 months pregnant he wasn't sure flying was the best idea for Emily but she wasn't going to listen anyway.

"I will. I love you." She got out of the car and was in the airport before he could say anything.

As he drove back he called Declan to make sure he and Lizi were alright and then he sent Garcia a text telling her to get to his house. His final act was to dial a number he'd dialed only a handful of times before.

"John, its Derek." He sighed.

"I swear if Sergio is throwing up its not popcorn." John said quickly.

"Why would Sergio be throwing up?" Derek asked.

"Um, never mind, what's going on? Is something wrong with Emily?" John's voice sounded almost panicked.

"Yes, well no, I don't know…" He sighed. "Just be at the house in thirty minutes and be prepared to snoop around in Emily's life."

"Whats going on?" John demanded.

"At dinner tonight a call came. Emily exchanged a few words in Italian then said she had to go back to Italy." He sighed.

"I'll be there as soon as I can."
