AJ and Kurt stormed the door, guns drawn. "Get on the ground!" He yelled and the red haired teenager complied. Kurt cuffed him and AJ rushed over to Alyssa. He closed his eyes, the events of the last year running through his head. He grabbed Alyssa in his arms and carried her down to the emergency room, yelling into his headset at the same time.

"Hostage has been injured. Heading to the emergency room side. Get Orton in here NOW. The gunman as been subdued and is in custody." He said. "C'mon Alyssa, don't you die on us. Hang in there." He said as he rushed through the emergency room door and handed her off to the nurses.

"What we got?" The doctor said rushing in.

"Pregnant woman shot in the side." The nurse said.

"Alright. Ultrasound now." He examined Alyssa and did an ultrasound. "Okay, with the position of wound, we have to operate. We have no choice but take the baby now." He turned to AJ. "Is the father available?"

"Yes." AJ said as the door opened and Randy walked in. He rushed to Alyssa's side who was unconscious.

"Sir, your wife's condition is very serious. We have to operate and do that we have to take the baby."

"It's early though." Randy replied. He didn't even correct the doctor when he said Alyssa was his wife.

"I know but we have the best NICU in state. She will be fine. Sir, this is the only option. If we don't take her, she will die. They both could die."

Randy looked at Alyssa and then the doctor. He had to save her and he hoped the baby would be okay too. "Alright. Do what you need to do."

"Alright. Let's her up to the OR."

Randy sat down in a chair and AJ sat down next to him. "You don't have to worry. Alyssa is a fighter. She'll make it through this." Both of them looked up when the doors to the emergency room opened up and the rest of the team rushed in with Becky and Nate close behind them.

"How are Alyssa and the baby?" Becky asked.

"They took her surgery. They have to deliver the baby in order to stop the bleeding."

Becky hugged him. "She will be okay. She and that baby. I contacted the judge and the Mizanin's lawyer. They got the results too. The baby is yours and Alyssa's."

Randy nodded. Now all he wanted was to tell Alyssa how much he loved her. He couldn't lose her or the baby.

The baby's cries filled the room and the nurse took her to be weighed. "Looks like 5lbs. 9oz. 19 inches long. She's in perfect condition."

"Go let the father see her and we'll keep working here." The nurse nodded and wrapped Ayla in a blanket and carried her out to show Randy. Every head turned when the doors opened and the nurse smiled as she walked over to where Randy was sitting.

"Here's your beautiful little girl." She said as she handed him the baby. Randy smiled as he held her, tears of joy welling up in his eyes. "She needs a name."

"Ayla...Ayla Claire Orton." The nurse smiled.

"She's beautiful. Congratulations. We're going to take her to the nursery now. You can see her in a little while." He nodded.

"We're losing her!" The doctor yelled. "Get the crash cart. Push a round of epi."

"A systole." The nurse said.

"Charge the paddles. 300 clear." The doctor said as he placed the paddles on her chest and shocked her.

"Nothing."

"Damn it, charge again, 350 clear." He said again as he shocked her again.

"Sinus rhythm." The nurse said.

"Put her on a monitor and take her to recovery. I want vital signs every fifteen minutes."

Randy's leg was bouncing up and down as he waited for some word on Alyssa's condition. He felt a little better knowing Ayla was alright. But he wouldn't be alright until he knew Alyssa was okay. He looked up when he saw John come off the elevators.

"Any news yet?"

"Ayla's here. She's small, but she's beautiful and she's perfect. They're still working on Alyssa." John nodded as the doctor came out. Randy quickly stood when he did. "How's Alyssa?"

"She's in stable but critical condition. She lost a lot of blood and we replaced it. Her heart stopped but we got it going again. We are monitoring her closely. The next 24 hours are critical."

"Can I see her please?" Randy asked.

"Yes, a nurse will take you to recovery." Randy followed him and then the nurse to the recovery room.

He sighed as he walked over to the bed and looked at her. He grabbed her hand in his and closed his eyes, tears sliding down his face.

Alyssa looked up tears welling up in her eyes and held her hand to her mouth. He smiled at her, that same cocky smile he always had and held his arms out to her. She rushed into them and closed her eyes. He pulled back to look at her and smiled.

"God, you look just as beautiful as I thought you would. I'm just sorry I wasn't the one who could give this to you." She lowered her head. He lifted her chin with his finger. "He loves you Alyssa. And it's okay for you to love him back. Go back to him and Ayla. She's going to need you there. She's so beautiful. Be happy. Okay? And always remember that I loved you."

"I loved you too Mike. And a part of me always will." He smiled.

"I know. Now go back. He's worried Alyssa. Worried that he's going to lose you and you two have a lot of years ahead of you together."

Randy held her hand. "Alyssa, please wake up. I need you and Ayla needs." He brought her hand up to his lips. "I didn't want to tell you like this. I had planned to tell you when you saw the nursery but we got interrupted. I love you Alyssa. I have fallen in love with you. I want us to be a family. You, me and Ayla. She's mine and I guess I always knew she was. I just had a moment of doubt and I hate that. I love you so much. Please come back to us."

He brushed his hand down her cheek. "Please?" He whispered. He sat down beside her bed, his forehead resting against the back of her hand praying for a miracle. Praying that she'd wake up. He heard her moan softly and his head shot up to look at her. "Alyssa?"

"Randy...?"

"I'm here Alyssa. I'm right here." He said as he sat on the edge of the bed. "Ayla's here and she's little but she's perfect. She's so beautiful." She closed her eyes and smiled weakly. "God, I was so worried about you. When AJ came over the radio and said you'd been hurt, my heart dropped. I thought it was happening all over again. I thought I was going to lose you. And I don't know how much you heard but..." she stopped him midsentence when she leaned up and kissed him softly on the lips.

"I love you too." She whispered. He smiled and leaned in kissing her again. She loved him too and he couldn't think of anything better.
