It has been a week since the Locksley family had been living with the older Mills . Robin was up early every day to do repairs to the damaged parts of their house. Regina is 8 months pregnant and uncomfortable. She cant wait for her baby to be born. Roland was the one having a hard time adjusting to the new living situations.
Roland was awake and got up from his bed carrying his blankie. He walked to his parents room like he did every morning . He walked down the hall to what he thought was his parents room. He walked in the room and crawled on the side of the bed.
" Mommy ! Daddy !" Roland says happily. He is then startled when he sees the older Mills and not his parents.
" Roland what are you doing here? Why aren't you in bed?" Cora asks.
Roland being startled starts to cry.
" Mommy ! Daddy!"
Regina hearing his cries goes to him as fast as her 8 month old belly will let her.
" Roland come here its ok."
" Mommy!" Roland says lifting his arms up wanting to be held.
" I cant pick you up Roland my belly wont allow me to." Regina explains. This makes Roland cry more. Older Henry gets up from bed and pics up Roland .
" Come Roland we will go downstairs and have breakfast. Your mommy will join us shortly. " Henry says carrying Roland downstairs. Regina turns and watches her father carry Roland.
Cora gets up from bed and walks over to Regina.
" Is everything alright?"
" No mother nothing is alright . I cant go home and I cant even comfort my own child."
" Did you really expect to pick him up? In your condition?"
" Does it matter ? He's my son and he needed me."
" Right now your priority is that baby. The important thing is to not stress."
" That's easier said then done."
" Well your baby needs you to relax. Honestly Regina our house is much bigger here I should think you would be able to relax more here then in that cramped house."
" That house was our home . My baby is supposed to be born there ."
" Why on earth would you give birth at home when you have everything you need at the hospital. That's the best place for you to have your baby."
" You know what mother I'm not arguing with you. I'm going to make my sons breakfast."
At the Locksley residence Robin is outside gathering things when August walks up the drive way.
" Thought you could use a hand."
" I appreciate that thank you."
" The fire marshal came to visit me at the station. He was able to determine what caused the fire. He believes the fire was no accident."
" Your saying this was a case of arson?"
" The fire had started in the kitchen . Luckily the fire department was able to put the fire out before it spread."
" What else did he say?"
" You should come down to the station and look at the evidence. " August informs him
Robin shocked at what he is hearing . Arson? who would hurt his family?
At the station Robin sits at his desk as August presents the evidence found at the house.
" I know this is a lot to process, but we will find who did this."
" Do me a favor don't tell Regina what you just told me. She is so close to her due date and with this news I don't want to send her into early labor or put anymore stress on her ."
" I will have to question her. Not because she's a suspect but she could possibly provide clues as to who did it."
" What evidence was found?"
" There isn't much to go on , there was a match, a foot print and this ." August says handing him a bag with a hair in it.
" Were finger prints found?"
" No whoever did it knew what they were doing ."
Robin looks at the bag and notices the color of the hair is brown. He was going to make sure whoever tried to harm his family would pay.
