Amaro stares at her
Amaro: baby theres something you should know
Amanda stares at him
Amanda: What is it?

She grabs on to the sheet as if trying to hide her battered body
Amaro: baby I'm sorry I should of realized what he was capable off
Amanda: I should of given him what he wanted…
Amaro: don't this it is not your fault….. he's the bastard and he will pay
He gets up quickly and goes for his gun and badge

Finn: I think I got something…..a car was rented matching his driver's license
Olivia: let's go, Nick you stay here
Amaro:I can handle myself out there
Olivia: Nick you're too close….I mean Amanda and you…..(she drifts off)
Amaro: yeah I get it (he slams his fist on the desk)
Fin and Olivia leave
Amaro goes up to a rookie officer
Amaro: hey I didn't catch that address you mind giving it to me again
Officer: yes sir it was 2255 W. Avenue
Amaro: got it thanx
Amaro manages to arrive before Fin and Olivia by taking a short cut
He walks into the rental office
Lady: can I help you sir?
Amaro: yes I'm Det. Amaro. We are looking for a fugitive, have you seen this man? (he shows her a picture)
Lady: yes I have actually, he rented a car earlier but he said he would be back in a couple hours to pick it up he just had an errand to run
Amaro: how long ago was that?
Lady: almost 2 hours ago I guess
Amaro: I'm going to wait in the back and when he shows up I want you to act normal I'll come out and arrest him
Lady: um ok…..
Couple minutes later Parker walks in
Parker: is my car ready?
Lady: why yes sir let me have them bring it to the front
Amaro: put your hands up!
Parker: my my isn't this a surprise
Amaro: I said put them up!
Parker: and if I don't?
Amaro: you know the answer to the question…now turn around slowly and put them up
Parker turns around unknown to Amaro he pulls out a gun and quickly shoots
Amaro is hit. Another shot rings out. Olivia and Fin arrive just in time.
Olivia: Amaro look at me….Fin get me something to put pressure on the wound! Nick what are you doing here I told you not to come….omg Fin!
Amaro: I need it to do something (he manages to say before he looses consciousness)
Olivia: Fin! Fin! (Amaro can hear this in the distance)
Fin: they're on their way….hang in there Amaro (he kneels down next to him)
In the hospital waiting room. Olivia's phone rings.
Olivia: hello
Amanda: Liv, hi sorry to bother you but I've been trying to reach Nick, he said he would only work a couple hours and come back but…..
Olivia: Amanda….uh….
Amanda: Olivia what is it? Did something happen?
Olivia: …..he…..was shot….we're at the hospital…..I was about to call you
Amanda: Oh my Gosh! I'm on my way….oh God no!
Olivia: Amanda….wait I'm only 10 minutes away I'll pick you up…..you shouldn't be on your own in your condition…..just wait for me
Amanda: ok
Olivia picks Amanda up they arrive at the hospital and Amanda runs in
Amanda: Nick Amaro! His condition?
Nurse: Miss please calm down…now let me see…..oh yes he's in surgery
Amanda: surgery? Well is he going to be okay?
Nurse: I'll get the doctor please have a seat in the waiting room
Olivia: Come on Amanda all we can do is wait
Fin is sitting there ready a magazine
Fin: babygirl, what you doing here like that?
Amanda: I needed to come
A couple hours pass by
Doctor: For Nick Amaro
Amanda jumps from her seat
Amanda: that's me, how is he?
Doctor: The surgery to remove the bullet went well…..he's in recovery you can go see him
Amanda sighs in relief
She walks into Nick's room
Amanda: Babe….
Amaro: what are you doing here? you should be at home resting
Amanda: you got shot
Amaro: it's just a scratch (he chuckles)
Amanda: I was so worried
He grabs her hand and pulls her close to him
Amaro: I'm fine, you're fine, our baby is fine and Parker can never hurt us again….Thanks to Liv she's a good shot
Amanda smiles
He kisses her as Fin, Olivia, Zara and her mother who have come to visit Nick watch them from the door smiling
Zara walks in and hugs Amanda
Zara: you're gonna be a great mommy
Amanda wraps her arms around her
Amanda: you're gonna be a great sister (she chuckles)
Maria: congratulations…Nick I thought I would take the chance to drop these papers off….They are signed…..I'm sorry I was just being selfish, I ruined our marriage and you deserve better, I'm happy you found someone who makes you happy…..I wish you the best….(she turns to Amanda) he was honest with me Amanda he told me about you but I was the one that hesitated, don't blame him and take good care of him
Amanda nods now she understood why Nick had hesitated to tell her how he really felt before she got kidnapped
She walks out
Nick pulls Amanda into a hug….he begins to kiss her…after a few minutes they put their foreheads together, Nick looks intensely into her eyes
The rest of the visitors quietly leave
Amaro: I will heal your wounds and you will heal mine my love…..I love you
Amanda: I love you
The End
