A/N: I'm back after a slight setback, I apologize for that. I've had a course at Uni, which has been killing me. But I've passed so yay for that! I currently have a summer course, because.. that was such a good idea in my head at the time.

Other than that, I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 13

Jack sat beside Peggy holding her hand, she was in the hospital bed.

Howard was in the doorway, and Jarvis stepped up beside him.

"He hasn't moved the whole week" he just stated bluntly.

Howard sighed and kept looking at the couple, he didn't say a word.

Agent Vega and agent Johnson walked into the office half carrying Fred

Ana suddenly came running across the hall in her flowery dress.

Jarvis turned to look at her a bit confused "what's wrong dear?"

"It's not me, there is a call from the SSR to Jack" she whispered, and before she could say anything Jack stepped up from his seat. Peggy had still been unconscious, and he hadn't been able to concentrate on anything else. His head was first confused and filled with rage, but has now settled to emptiness and frustration.

"Please don't tell him if it's sad news, look at him" Howard said with pleading eyes, he had called the best doctors for Peggy, and they stated that she was stable and fine, but she had to wake up on her own.

Ana sighed and shock her head "Don't worry its good news, they have started the interrogation and found two of them a bit suspicious, it might be the guy that shot Peggy"

Jack quickly turned passed them and grabbed his coat and hat on the way out.

"Oh, wait Jack! Are you sure you should go!" Jarvis yelled.

Jack stopped and didn't turn around to face them.

"Call me if she wakes up, will ya"

Ana placed gently a hand on Jarvis shoulder, and replied "Of course dear"

~S~

Fred was chained to the table, sitting waiting, itching to move.

But remained silent under the whole interrogation with Agent Vega and Johnson, watching them do bad cop and good cop routine.

For him it was amusing, almost a theatrical scene of comedy.

"I don't know what you both are talking about, but I'm just an employee at Sanders Industries, and I don't even know why I'm here"

"Cut the crap we know it was you who killed Messner"

Suddenly the door burst open, and Jack grabs Fred by his vest, lifts him from his chair and pushes him against the wall, Jack clenches so hard, that his knuckles turns white.

"You!... shot the mother of my child, the love of my life..."

Both agents were stunned and stood completely still with their mouths open.

Fred was startled by the sudden movement, it went so fast that he didn't even get to blink before he hit his head against the wall.

"I will.."

Before he could say anything more, he punched Fred in the face, before being held back by Agent Vega.

"Wow Chief what the hell"

Johnson moved over to pick up Fred from the ground, and place him back into the chair. His nose bleeding, as he pulled his head back to stop it.

"Well this is a violation of my wellbeing, the man i clearly confused"

Before Jack could do anything more he was led out of the interrogation room by Vega.

"What is going on Chief?!, you told us to take everyone in who seemed a bit suspicious for questioning, not to use them for punching bags."

Jack took a seat in his chair, running his hand through his hair, before resting it on his mouth. His eyebrows narrowed in annoyance.

Vega stayed silent for a moment, before coughing.

"Soooo… you and Peggy?"

Jack turned to him with a raised eyebrow, they had a man in the next room, who had caused more trouble than what was good and this man was interested in only the fact that he and Peggy was a couple.

He just glared at Vega for a minute or two in complete silence.

"Right" Vega said before turning his heals and out of the office.

Jack sat in his office holding his head in frustration, before taking a deep breath to sink back into his chair.

"Uh Chief, sorry again, we can only keep him for 48 hours, we need more evidence. According to his records his name isn't Fred Wells, he took on a cover and it's a very good cover"

"Thank you, Vega, I'm aware" He said as he pinched his nose bridge, trying not to sink into the headache that was slowly growing inside his head.

This man had to be put behind bars, or better yet killed. He could almost hear Peggy yell at him for his last thoughts, but he couldn't help but think it. This man had been at their house, their sanctuary and shot Peggy, he could just feel his blood boil.

A few hours passed and he had put almost every agent on the case to try and find more on Fred, but it seemed like everything had just vanished out of thin air. He didn't know how this could be possible, but had an idea that Fred wasn't just a mere mercenary, and he was definitely not working by himself. Something bigger was behind this, and not the small Sanders Industries, no it was bigger than that. The Zodiac, Peggy had mentioned it at their first meeting at S.H.I.E.L.D.

Suddenly his door burst open and it was Johnson, he coughed and looked a bit confused. "Uhm Chief it's Peggy… uh your… wife.."

"Well spit it out already" he then stopped talking for a second, before realizing that he started to sound like his wife.

"She's awake, called" He said before opening the door completely letting Jack walk passed him.

He stepped out of the bullpen with his jacket and hat, before he was meet with a staff that had looked like they were completely frozen in their action just looking at him.

Dear god, was this really what he had to put up with sometimes.

"Yes, we are married, and have been for quite a while, and we are having a baby. Now please get back to work!" He stated quickly and shook his head as he turned towards the elevator, as everyone quickly continued what they were doing again.

"Idiots" he muttered under his breath.

~S~

Peggy was on the ground her sight became more and more blurry, and the pain was just horrible. She kept a hand on her wound and the other on her stomach.

"Please be okay" she kept whispering again and again.

A figure approached her quickly and she recognized it.

"Michael?"

The man said something that she didn't catch, but recognized Angie's voice.

She tried to blink a few times, but her sight just failed her more and more.

"Oh, bloody hell I'm dying aren't i, that's the only reason you're here, because you're not really here" she half murmured under her breath, taking a hand to her forehead.

"Of course, I'm here, and I would never let you die" Michael said calmly keeping a pressure on her wound.

Peggy suddenly felt a tear down her cheek, and her emotions running away from her, leaving her weeping.

"You're alive" she whispered faintly.

"I hate you" she whispered a second time before slowly letting go of her conscious, slowly letting herself slip into the darkness.

"I know" Michael stated silently.

~S~

Jack had rushed to Howard's mansion, and entered hallway to follow a sudden sound, a heartbeat. A very fast heartbeat, he opened the door and saw everyone smiling around Peggy, she had a belt wrapped around her stomach, with a round plate in the middle.

"I'm sorry Howard insisted on using his newest gadget" she said with a comforting smile.

He took of his hat and threw it on the bed, before rushing to her side and giving her a long kiss, not caring who else was in the room. Everyone quickly looked away in pure embarrassment, except Howard who was just standing there smiling.

He let her go and rested his forehead against hers.

"I'm fine, I've tried worse" she half joked, and followed his hands, as Jack placed it on her stomach.

The doctor smiled "It's a good and strong heartbeat, congratulations" he stated before biding his goodbyes, shaking hands and reached Jack.

"Thank you, for your help" he said grasping with both of his hands of pure gratitude.

"You welcome"

Peggy suddenly let out a big sigh of relief, before turning completely serious.

"Everyone… please get out.. I need to talk to my husband… privately" putting a lot of pressure on the last word.

"Yes yes of course" Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis said before they hurried out

"Oh dear" Angie said before hurrying out.

"You too Howard" Peggy glared, and Howard raised his hands in defeat before leaving the room with the rest of the crowd.

Jack knew exactly where this was headed, and immediately feared for his life.

He then turned to face her, and before he could say anything.

"YOU! You knew he was alive!"
