A/N: Fair warning, I'm changing things through the second half of the season just because I can't stand to see Tom go and the time jump isn't conducive to my OC.

Red didn't return home to Haylie that night as he'd promised because the task force had to move quickly from the trafficking case to Tom, because he was missing. Haylie got a few calls to keep her up to date on their status but after a call came that both Tom and Liz were being rushed to the hospital, Haylie forced herself up and drove to the hospital to be with her friends.

When she parked, she saw Red's car pulled up beside the entrance and she walked to his window to see if he was inside.

"Raymond," she said as she tapped on the window, "How are they?" she asked once he rolled down the barrier between them.

She could see the pain in his eyes as he looked up at her, "They both experienced blows to the skull and since I can't go inside, I'm hoping things are going well, but I don't know anything since we arrived."

Haylie nodded, reaching through the window to place a comforting hand on his face, "Do you want me to go inside and get an update?"

Reddington nodded but then asked, "Are you alright to be up and moving? I'm so sorry, I haven't called to check on you," he added.

"Babe, that has been the last thing on my mind and you're daughter is in danger which trumps anything else on your mind," she replied, "I'm fine, now. It took all day, but I'm finally used to the intense movements these two make, for now anyway, once they get bigger, we'll see. I'll be right back," she stated, pulling her hand away as she walked into the hospital, finding Samar, Aram, Cooper and Ressler almost immediately.

Cooper turned to see Haylie and his concern was moved from Liz and Tom, momentarily, "Agent Storm, are you feeling better or are you up to being here? We would have kept you updated," he added.

She shook her head, "If something happened to Liz or Tom while I was sitting at home, I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself. Why were they attacked?"

"Something about a suitcase that belongs to Reddington but that's all we know," Cooper replied, "Liz is recovering, slowly waking up and alert but Tom has slipped into a coma."

Haylie felt her heart drop as she thought about what Liz would feel once she knew he might never wake up again because he reaction was how she'd feel if Reddington was in Tom's position, "Thank you, I need to update Raymond," she replied as she turned to leave the hospital and go back to his car.

She reached the car and walked around to the other side so that she could get in and sit down, "Liz is waking up and she's going to be ok," Haylie began once she was settled in the backseat next to Red, "But Tom has slipped into a coma with no idea yet on what his outcome might be," she finished, her eyes showing the pain she'd felt at receiving the news moments before.

Red nodded at her update, "I want to feel relief but Liz will be devastated if Tom never comes around. His relationship with me has been so filled with hate and rage, but I know Elizabeth loves him and he loves her, and that is something I'm powerless against," he revealed, pulling off his hat allowing Haylie to see the large gash on his forehead.

She moved herself to be on her knees as she began to examine his injury, "What happened to you? Are you alright?" she asked, her voice filled with concern as she looked around for something to clean it with.

"Dear, I'm ok," he replied, rejecting her fuss over his head, "I was hit with the butt of a gun, but it's nothing. My concerns lie with you, Elizabeth and Tom right now, though I never thought my worries would include Tom Keen," he admitted as she sat back down in her own seat.

Haylie looked at Raymond as they sat in silence, taking in each detail of his face and then his hands, wondering what she would do if he was in a coma with possibly no hope of waking up. Raymond looked over and noticed the way she was watching him, "Something bothering you, my Dear?" he asked.

Haylie shook her head, "No, I'm just going over what Liz must be feeling in my mind if it was you. I can't even imagine it and I would want to kill whoever was responsible," she then added, "Cooper said their injuries are because of a suitcase that carries a secret of yours, is that secret worth all of this? How did it wind up causing this kind of trouble?" she asked.

Reddington shook his head, "The suitcase does carry a secret that can never be found out and Kate put this into motion. She dug it up as she was the only person beside myself and Dembe who knew about it and put a plan in motion for Liz to get the information. Kate wanted everyone I care about to alienate me and this was just a part of that same plan," he explained, hating every word as he said them.

Haylie nodded, not wanting to pry anymore then she already had, "I don't want to know anymore, Raymond. I won't ever attempt to uproot your secrets for anyone, but I just wish sometimes, you entering Liz's life didn't bring so much pain along with it," she confessed before adding, "You've done nothing but make my life better each and every day since we first met so just know that what I said doesn't reflect how I feel, because I would be lost if I'd never met you," she finished as Raymond lifted his arm to pull her into him, comforting her by comforting himself.

Liz recovered within a few days but not mentally as she was filled with rage. She gave Agnes to Scottie, Tom's mother, and went away for three weeks in order to clear her mind and decide what she wanted to do when she'd return. She'd given up her status as an agent after just getting it back, not too long before, but she had a journey to go through that she believed she couldn't do as an FBI agent.

While Liz was away, Haylie and Red continued working with the task force as Liz requested while slowly looking into the events that led to Tom's coma, which he was still in. Haylie was now twenty weeks along and her pregnancy had smoothed out, allowing her to get back into the groove of her career and help Red on their missions.
