Allie stopped and turned to face him. Had she heard him right? Did he say he wanted the same things she wanted?

"What? When did you decide this?"

"It's something I've been thinking about since I got hurt." He said walking over to her. "I never stopped loving you, Allie. I know I said I didn't want a family. But I do. I want a child with you." He leaned in and kissed her again. She pulled away and looked at him.

"You can't do this to me now. You know how much I'm going through with Ellie and Finn and you come and lay this on me now. I resigned myself to the fact that you didn't want the same things I wanted. And I can't deal with this right now."

"I'm sorry I just dropped this on you. But would you please just think about this?"

"I can't do this. Not until Ellie is safe." She said as she walked away.

Mike looked at Ellie as she slept. They'd talked a little more and he'd let her have the bed opting for a pillow and blanket on the floor. He'd already talked to his friends and gotten them both passports. He'd break the news to her in the morning. What their cover would be. His friend Alex would be bringing the wedding bands too.

The next morning came quickly and Mike was up and read before Ellie. Alex had called him and said he was close with the passports and everything. It was all set up for him and Ellie to play a married couple on their honeymoon. He had just finished getting dressed when he heard his phone. The ringtone was Alex's. He was coming up to the room. He looked over at the bed and shook Ellie softly. She groaned and opened her eyes.

"Time to get up and get moving. You want to go get dressed so we can have breakfast and talk about our cover." She nodded and got out of bed grabbing some clothes from the bag Adam had packed as she went.

He heard the knock on the door and knew it was Alex. He opened the door and Alex walked in. "I have everything you asked for. Here are your passports. You guys are Mike and Erin Newman. You're newlyweds who are in Canada on your honeymoon. Here is the marriage certificate if they asked. And here are the wedding bands." Alex handed him the packet. "There is also Canadian money in there and other identification. Basically everything you will need."

"Thanks Alex, this is great." Mike said as Ellie came out of the bathroom. She stopped when she saw Alex there. "Ellie, this is Alex my associate. He got us everything we need to get to Canada." She nodded and sat down on the bed. "Here are the papers. Your name is Erin Newman. There is something else."

"What?" She asked.

"We're a married couple. Mike and Erin Newman. We're newlyweds on our honeymoon. Here are the wedding rings." He said to her.

"Married?"

"Yeah. And one more thing...you're going to have to change your hair." She nodded. "Look, I know this is a lot but this is what we've got to do. Alex's girlfriend Eve is waiting outside. She's going to come in and do your hair. I'm going to pay the bill and get breakfast. Anything you want?" She shook her head. Mike nodded and headed to the door. Eve walked in with a bag to help Ellie change her hair.

Allie woke up to the sound of Finn crying. She knew he was hungry. She got up and walked to the nursery. She stopped when she saw Randy in there picking up Finn.

"How about some breakfast?" Randy said to Finn who nodded. He turned and saw Allie at the door. "Hey, I heard him and thought I would help you with him."

"Thanks." She smiled.

He walked over to her with Finn in his arms. "I will go make breakfast. Why don't you get ready for work?"

"Actually, Chris gave me the day off after yesterday. I thought I would take Finn to the park. You're welcome to come."

"Of course I'll come. I'm not letting you out of my sight until all of this is settled and then I want us to talk about the future."

"Randy."

"I'm not rushing you. I'm here to help you with this." He said going toward the kitchen. She sighed as he walked out and turned her attention to Finn. She didn't need this added stress. Not with everything else going on.

Mike walked back into the hotel room and smiled when the bathroom door opened and Eve and Ellie walked out. She was pretty. Eve had taken her dark hair and cut it to just above her shoulders adding auburn and caramel highlights which lightened her face. He also noticed that she'd slipped on the wedding band and he slipped on his own.

"Okay, everything is set." Alex said to him.

"Great. We will be on our way." Mike said. "Thanks, Alex. You will keep me updated on things."

"I will. We will use our code."

"Great. See you later." He turned to Ellie. "Well, Erin, shall we head off on our honeymoon?"

Ellie nodded and walked over to where Mike was standing. He grabbed her hand and they walked out to his truck and got in. She buckled her seat belt and kept her eyes focused on the road through the passenger window as they traveled.

"I know this isn't ideal but you don't have to worry...you're safe." She nodded and looked over at him.

"We're going to find out who set you up. But in the meantime...why don't you tell me how you came up with the name Finn."

John got up and did his morning routine before heading into the office. He had heard from Mike's partner that everything was set up and they were on their way to Canada. He had asked Stephen to find out everything he could about Drew McIntyre. He checked in with the patrols he had on Allie and Finn and everything was okay. No sign of Drew. He had decided to call Allie and Randy and interview them both. He had to know if they were back together. For his own sanity. He called them and arranged to meet with them around lunch time. He'd just hung up when his cell phone rang again. He answered seeing it was Mike.

"Tell me you are far away from here?" He said when he answered.

"We are on our way to place where I doubt anyone would look for us. How is everything there?" Mike asked.

"About normal. We are working on finding who did this." John sighed. "Do your best to stay away until I let you know something."

"Alright." Mike replied looking over to Ellie. "Are Allie and Finn still okay?"

"They're both good. Allie's ex husband is staying with them."

"Alright. I will call you later." Mike hung up before more could be said. He looked over at Ellie. "Your sister and son are fine. Her ex husband is staying with them."

"Great. Randy will protect her and Finn." Ellie said with a sigh of relief. She was relieved that they were protected.

"So Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn huh? Interesting name choice." He said after she had told him why she picked the name.

"It just felt right to me. It reminded me of when Allie and I would sit up late on summer nights and read. She always protected me. It reminded me of being truly happy." She smiled slightly. "She's a great sister and I know she is the best person to take care of him for me."

"That's siblings for you." He smiled. "My brother and I are the same way. Even with everything we've been through, we remain close."

"So I guess I should know some things about you." He nodded.

"What do you want to know?"

"How many brothers do you have?"

"Just the one. John." He replied.

"Are you married or seeing someone?"

"Nope. I'm single." He smiled. They spent the next few miles getting to know each other. They still had a long way to go until they reached Canada. Then they would have to stay out of sight until John could figure out who really killed Phil.
