Sarah walked into the bedroom while Mike waited by the door, wanting to surprise Grace when the moment was right as Sarah sat on the bed facing Sarah.
"How are you feeling, baby?" she asked.
Grace rubbed her eyes "I don't feel good." She said.
Sarah sighed "That's okay, you just stay in bed and rest until you feel better, okay?" she suggested, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear "I have a surprise for you." Sarah said, smiling at the groggy girl.
"What?" Grace asked.
Sarah looking over her shoulder as Mike walked into the bedroom, the groggy girl in the Queen size bed smiled but was unable to get out of bed as she looked up at him.
"Daddy!" she said in a groggy voice.
Mike smiled as he sat on the other side of the bed, giving his daughter a big hug "Hi, sweetie!" he said, holding her tight.
"You gave your mom and me quite a scare." He said, letting go of Grace as she laid back down in her bed.
Grace just looked up at the both of them before Sarah smiled and looked over at Mike for a moment before she looked back at her daughter "Well, I'll give you two a moment." She said, getting up from the bed and leaving the bedroom to give Mike some alone time with his daughter.
She was on the couch reading one of the random novels that she had found in the bookshelf when she heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
Sarah looked up to see Mike stepping down from the stairs; his arms crossed as he walked up to the couch and sat down next to Sarah.
Mike looked over at Sarah who stared him down, the two of them sharing glances before Sarah cocked an eye brow at him; the young agent smiled "She fell asleep midway through our conversation." He said.
Sarah pouted "Oh." She simply said before putting a bookmark in her book and placing it on the coffee table; she sat back in against the couch cushion, crossing her arms while putting her feet up on the table.
"…thanks for coming." She said after a long moment of silence.
Mike smiled "She's my daughter, of course I'm going to come." He told her.
Sarah smiled, tears threatening to spill from her eyes before she turned away and began brushing them away when Mike put his arm around her and held her close.
"Hey, don't be like that. Everything is going to be okay!" Mike said, assuring Sarah who took a deep breath in before looking back at Mike.
"Mike, I'm sorry. These past few weeks have been crazy. I don't know where my head's been." Sarah admitted, trying to contain herself.
Mike kissed her forehead "It's okay." He told her.
Sarah shook her head "No, Mike, it isn't." she told him.
"I'm so exhausted, I honestly want to go home and forget this ever happened. Forget the past 6 years and just move on." Sarah said, looking down at her lap.
Mike sighed "It'll happen, just be patient." He told her, knowing that in all honesty, that was all he could say.
An agent slowly approached the couple, clearing his throat to get their attention as Sarah turned towards the agent "Yes?" she asked.
"Agent Weston, you're being called back to Virginia." The agent remarked.
Mike huffed, taking his arm back as he got up off the couch, Sarah followed suit and began following Mike out of the house.
"So, I guess we'll see you around." Sarah muttered, walking Mike to the SUV.
Mike nodded "Yeah. Hopefully, we'll find something soon and get you two home and in your own beds again." He said.
"Listen, Mike, I think once we get back I should start looking for my own place." Sarah admitted, twirling her hair as she looked at Mike.
Mike shook his head "Actually, I was thinking maybe we see where this goes and you move from the guest room to the master." He said, wiggling his eye brows at her.
Sarah let a flirtatious grin "Oh?" she asked rhetorically.
Mike nodded "Yeah. Also, I think we should have another kid." He said.
Sarah immediately lost her smile as Mike climbed into the back of the SUV, she glared at Mike as he looked over at her "But seriously, I love you." He said, leaning down to kiss Sarah before closing the door.
"…I love you too." She mouthed, smiling at Mike before backing away slowly and back inside the house where the agents were waiting for her.
Mike walked back into Headquarters, looking around as agents passed him by; he wondered what had happened during the 6 hours he had disappeared from 'the office'.
He walked towards Agent Donovan who was talking to several other agents before he finally approached his superior officer "Any news on Carroll?" he asked.
Agent Donovan shook his head "No. We got nothing." He told the young agent.
Mike nodded "Okay." He said, backing away slowly and beginning his short walk to his office corner.
His desk had nothing on it, which was surprising for Mike as he threw his messenger bag aside and sat at his desk, adjusting in his seat before settling in.
"Mike," someone called out, Mike turned to see Ryan approaching his desk "Hey, is everything alright with Grace?" the older man asked.
Mike nodded "Yeah, she apparently had a panic attack." He said.
Ryan gasped in shock "Holy shit." He muttered.
"But she's fine. The protective custody team is going to bring in a doctor to check on her in a few days." Mike said, rubbing his hands against his jeans.
Ryan nodded "But she's okay?" he asked again.
Mike nodded "Yeah. Grace is fine."
"And Sarah?" Ryan asked, almost poking for an answer.
Mike simply smirked before turning to his laptop and beginning to type away just to avoid the conversation.
"Oh, c'mon! Don't be like that man!" Ryan said, nudging Mike.
Mike shook his head "Sorry, man, a gentleman never tells." He said.
Ryan scuffed "You." He said, backing away from Mike "I'm gonna get it out of you!" he said before leaving the office.
