"What the hell?" Peter said, rubbing his temples, the crying infant was giving him a headache.

Neal shifted the baby into a more comforting position in his arms. He rocked it from side to side, trying to comfort it.

"Shh, baby it's okay. You're going to be okay." He said softly, in a calm tone.

"Since when did you know how to deal with kids?" Peter asked, slightly astonished.

"I had a..." He trailed off. "I just know." He said with a smile, hoping that Peter would not call him out on his screw-up.

"You had a what, Neal?" Damn. Neal cursed internally.

"Nothing, Peter. Just drop it. We have to get it out of here."

"It? Is it a boy or a girl?"

"I am going to go with a girl because of necklace, but I think we might need to check."

"Well, go ahead. Check, Caffery." Peter said, slightly disgusted with the notion.

"And you accuse me of being childish." He muttered to himself.

He laid the baby down on the couch. The baby protested, not wanting to let go of Neal.

"Aww." Peter said sarcastically, "It loves you already. It must be a girl."

"You're right." Neal said, adjusting the diaper, and fastening it back onto the baby.

"Seriously, where did you learn all of this stuff?" Peter said curiously.

"A little place called, none of your business." Neal shot back. He lifted the baby, and placed her onto his shoulder, walking away from the crime scene.

"Neal, fill us in about the necklace." Peter said, back at headquarters, in the conference room.

"Well the necklace contains a Burmese Ruby, and has 55 carats of diamonds surrounding it. It is a 14 million dollar Heart of the Kingdom Ruby Necklace."

Several whistles filled the room.

"So why was it on the baby?" Asked Diana, who was bouncing the baby on her knee, earning her giggles from the happy child.

"The owners of the house were fairly rich, and the baby was their child, was it not?" Peter asked.

"We are having tests run on that now." Jones said, looking up from the baby.

"Does she remind you of anyone?" Diana asked, eyeing the baby's chocolate brown curls, and electric blue eyes. Even the baby's toothless smile matched a certain someone's.

All eyes in the room focused on Neal, who was examining the necklace. He looked up, and noticed everyone staring at him. They quickly looked away.

"I am sorry, I zoned out. Did I miss something?" Neal said.

Just then a young woman walked into the room.

"Here is the DNA test you requested, Agent Burke."

"Thanks, Abby." Peter said, picking up the file.

"What does it say, Peter?" asked Diana.

"Well, the child was not theirs. They had no children. There must be some mistake."

The baby seemed to notice the tension in the room, and began to cry once again.

Neal glanced concernedly at the baby, but then started to feel a bit woozy, and sat down.

Diana glanced over at Neal, and noticed his slightly green complexion.

"Neal, are you alright?" Diana asked, with a note of concern in her voice.

"Yeah, yeah. Fine. Just a little dizzy. Peter, can I go and get some fresh air?"

Peter looked up, with a look of concern on his face. "Yeah, Neal, go."

Neal raced out of the building as fast as he could, the nausea increasing with every step. When he got out of the building, he immediatly found the nearest trashcan, and emptied the contents of his stomach into the can. He threw up until he passed out on the sidewalk, waiting for someone to come and find him.
