Quinn sighed as she sat in the waiting room of the hospital. Knowing that her sister who she thought died years ago was alive was bugging her but the fact that Huck was laying on a operating table barely clinging to life was more important. She called Olivia and the rest of the team and told them what happened which meant they were on their way. She was afraid of losing him since he was the one who saved her from Charlie and if he died that meant he wouldn't be there to protect her from other men. She looked down at her growing belly that was getting bigger with each month that passed by and felt the tears burning her eyes at the thought of Huck not being there with her and their children. She inhaled a shaky breath and let it out trying to calm her nerves so she wouldn't cause herself to go into premature labor like she did with Haley. She looked when she heard Javi call out her name and spotted him running towards her with her Dad right behind him with Haley in his arms.

"Mom! Mom. Is Dad okay?" Javi asked when he finally reached her

"I don't baby boy. I don't know." Quinn said pulling the boy to her and squeezing him tightly as her father sat down next to her

"What happened Lindsay?" Ray asked

"He was shot by Ha- an intruder." Quinn told him remembering how her sister threatened to hurt her if she told anyone about her

"It'll be okay baby. He'll be fine." Ray promised praying he was right

"I hope so Daddy. I hope so."


4 hours later when Quinn woke up she was surrounded by the entire team as they sat there all with worried looks on their face. She was actually angered at the sight of Kim and Charlie sitting there since the last time she saw him he tried to rape her. She was pulled from her thoughts by the double doors leading to the operating room opened and the doctor who was working on Huck came out. Quinn's breath hitched in her throat when she saw the blood on the man's scrubs but she knew better then to freak out.

"Family of Huck Marshall?" the doctor asked and they all stood up, "Big family. I'm Dr. James Thomas. Mr. Marshall lost a lot of blood and what we thought was a minor gunshot wound turned out to be very, very serious. The bullet traveled through his chest and missed his heart by mere inches. A little to left or little to the right and Mr. Marshall would be dead right now. I'm amazed he even managed to remain conscious after such a serious gunshot wound. I hate to tell you all this but Mr. Marshall went into a coma. Which is a very bad thing." Dr. Thomas told them all but the news had the most effect on Quinn who was now sobbing into Harrison's chest as he held her tightly

"How long will he be like that?" Olivia asked rubbing Quinn's back soothingly

"We don't know. A day. A week. A month. A year. Forever." Dr. Thomas said

"Can I see him?" Quinn asked

"I wouldn't usually allow it but I can see you won't take no for an answer. Follow me."


Quinn had no idea how long she was back there. Holding her children as they watched their father, who appeared to be sleeping, except for all the tubes he was hooked up to. She knew Javi could sense her distress and she also knew he was probably worried about her. She looked at Huck again and sighed when she saw no movement like it had been for the past 4 hours. Everyone went home after seeing him leaving her and the kids there alone with Huck. Quinn knew that if Huck didn't wake up in the four and a half months that he would miss the birth of their children. She felt a sleeping Haley shift in her arms as she opened her eyes only to find that her father was still 'sleeping'.

"Mom." she heard Javi call out

"Yeah?" Quinn said back

"Is Daddy going to die?" Javi asked through his tears as he looked at her

"No. He'll be okay. He's going to come back to us. He always does." She promised the boy squeezing him tightly

"Ms. Perkins, visiting hours are over. You have to leave." a nurse said peaking her head in the room

"You must be mistaken. The President of the United States, the man who is basically my brother, made it very clear I could stay here if I wanted too. Kids included. And if you have a problem with that I will call him back here and have you fired from your job. Your choice." Quinn told the woman who looked frightened and exited the room uttering an apology.

"That was really, really bad ass Mom." Javi said as got up and laid down next to his father

"Don't let your father here you use that type of language." She told him placing Haley in his arms, "I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be back." She said getting up and walking out of the room down the hall to the bathroom. She looked up and saw Charlie walking towards her with box in his hand. She turned around and walked back to Huck's room even though she knew Huck couldn't protect her, it gave her a sense of protection with both him and Javi in the room. As soon as she opened the door to the room she felt herself being pulled backwards out of the doorway

"Don't run from me. I'm not going to hurt you." Charlie says pushing her against the wall

"What do you want?" Quinn asked slightly frightened

"I wanted to give you this." He says handing her the box had been carrying

"What is it?" She asked shaking it

"A present. For your babies." He said shoving his hands into his pocket

"Oh my gosh. Charlie... I don't what to say." She said as she pulled two sleepers out of the box. One said 'I'm number 1' and the other said 'I'm number 2'

"You can start by saying thank you." Charlie said

"Thank you." Quinn says running her hand over her swollen stomach

"I'm also very sorry about what happened at the beach. I don't know what came over me. I shouldn't have done that. I really am sorry." He says cupping her cheeks softly, "Will you forgive me?" He asks

"O-okay. I should go. Javi's probably getting worried. Bye." She says before turning away to go inside the room where she could hear Haley crying

"Robin wait!" Charlie called out effectively stopping her in her tracks

"What is it?" She asked stepping away from the door

"I'm leaving." He says surprising her

"I know. I already bye." She said slightly confused

"No. I mean i'm leaving DC. I'm engaged. To Kimberly. Were going away to get married in Hawaii. You can come if you want. Were getting married next month." He informs her handing her an invitation

"Wow. Congratulations. Huck and I are getting married sometime next month too. But we'll make it to your wedding." Quinn says

"If he ever wakes up." Charlie says before he realized his mistake, he looked at Quinn sympathetically when he saw the tears forming in her eyes, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean that." He says kissing her forehead softly

"I know. You should go. Get back to your fiancee. I won't tell her you were here." She says before backing away and going into the room with Javi who was feeding Haley who was staring up at him with wonder in her hazel eyes


Javi glanced over at his mother and sighed. She looked worried even though she was sleeping. He knew that she was probably thinking about his father but he also knew she didn't need to stress herself out due to her pregnancy. He looked over at his sister who he had placed on his father's chest and smiled. It seemed Haley couldn't tell the difference from Huck being perfectly fine and him being not fine. He looked back at his mother and noticed that she had woken up from her nap and now standing over his father with tears in her eyes.

"He'll be okay Mom. Just imagine he's taking a nap." Javi told her as he reached her side

"I know. I tried that. It doesn't work." Quinn says before looking down at the boy

"Just go back to sleep. And if you can't do that we can go home and you can put on one of Dad's old shirts that you haven't washed yet. I'm sure it smells just like him." He offered

"No. I need to stay here with him. I need to be here when he wakes up." She says shaking her head at the thought of leaving Huck there alone. She reached out and ran her hand across his cheek feeling the roughness of his beard growing there. Quinn sighed as she sat down on the bed next to Huck, laying her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat. She had a feeling he was going to wake up but she didn't know when, "Javi could you go get an extra blanket please." She asked the boy, smiling gratefully when he left the room to retrieve the blanket, "You know I never told you he story of Charlie abusing me. I'm actually glad I didn't. If I had Charlie would be dead right now. At the hands of you , of course. Well since I doubt you can hear me I guess I'll tell you. It started one night when he came home. He was covered in blood obviously from torturing someone. I had just found out I was pregnant and I was going to tell him. I had made him dinner like I did every night then I told him I was pregnant then I told him I was pregnant and he freaked. He started yelling at me. He started calling a whore and a slut and saying that he wasn't the father of our baby."

Quinn stopped and took a deep breath trying to control her nerves. Even though she knew Huck probably couldn't hear her, it was still hard talking about that night she lost her first baby.

"He proceeded to throw things at me. Knives, glasses, plates, etc. You can guess what happened after that. Why I even stayed with him after that... I don't know." Quinn stopped when she felt a slight movement from Huck's hand but she wasn't sure if she imagined it or not, "Are you with me Huck?" She asked leaning closer feeling her heart rate speed up as she watched his eye lids flutter ever so slightly. Then after what seemed like forever, his eyes opened revealing his dazed chocolate eyes.

He looked around the room before his eyes finally landed on hers. She realized he was trying to speak but she knew he couldn't do that with the breathing tube down his throat, "Don't talk yet. Not yet baby. I'll be back. I'm going to get the doctor." She says before running out the room to retrieve his doctor. She came with him and they checked him out confirming he was okay. She looked back at Javi who had been chatting with one of the nurses when she ran out and found him smiling as he stood by his father's side with Haley.

"I'm so glad your okay Dad." Javi says before leaving the room to give Quinn and his Dad some privacy

"I missed you so much." Quinn said as she laid down against his chest careful to avoid the spot where the bullet went through his chest

"I missed you too." Huck says in a raspy since he hasn't used his voice in 4 days

Quinn snuggled up to him as he squeezed her to him tightly. It was the first time in a few days that she actually felt his arms around her. It felt nice. It felt like home.

I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home

How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around?
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

Quinn sat up when she heard the door open revealing the team and a very pregnant Abby. She laughed when she saw the number of balloons Harrison managed to fit in the room and for the first time she was actually smiling.

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go...

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth
And I've never opened up
I've never truly loved 'til you put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

You put your arms around me and I'm home


Author's Note- So I'm back again and Huck's okay. Thankfully. i was originally going to keep going on with whole a coma thing until Quinn went into labor but that would have too long. Anyways hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
