As Red gazed down at the sleeping little beauty in his arms her he smiled and continued to sway ever so slightly with her as Lizzie gazed at the sight before her. Everything had happened so fast in the previous hours, and she found herself suddenly overly emotional. She forced smile and gently took Agnes from his arms and gently placed her in her crib before turning and looking at him.

He smiled a little as he grabbed his fedora she had taken from Kirk's and rubbed the brim.

"I should let you get some rest, as should I."

Lizzie swallowed hard but then nodded and her voice gave her emotions away as soon as she opened her mouth to speak, "I'm really glad you're ok."

He tilted his head ever so slightly and then walked to her and gave a slight nod.

"I'm fine Lizzie, and it's finally over. You and your family are safe from Kirk."

Lizzie nodded slightly and got the over whelming urge to hug him as tight as she had the night her name was cleared and she was released from her cell but she didn't. Instead she watched him turn and leave, shutting her door quietly so not to wake Agnes. It wasn't until nearly a half an hour later she found herself sitting alone on her couch that she finally let her tears fall. Her mind in over drive, replaying every event from the past few years that had taken place. She couldn't count on one hand the number of times that Raymond had sacrificed his own life for hers or her daughters. She couldn't remember how many times she had felt her stomach flip, and her heart sink imagining the worst. But what was most troubling to her of all is that even after everything he had done, she always doubted him.

She leaned forward and put her head in her hands and let out a shaky breath and felt her eyes starting to burn from unshed tears. Her treatment towards him was anything but awful, and she knew it. He had been right about everything. Tom, Kirk, hell even her wardrobe choices were better now because of his advice. Wiping her cheek's, she heard the clicking of the door and tried to compose herself as Tom walked into the room but it was no use. He frowned and placed a hand on her cheek gently before he spoke, "Hey…what's wrong? What happened?"

She smiled and sniffled a little shaking her head. "Nothing, just taking in everything that's happened. I guess I just haven't really had the time to until now."

He nodded and leaned in and kissed her head. "I can't imagine how stressed you must be feeling. Between Kirk and Reddington, but it's over now." He cupped her face in his hands and he smiled. "We can finally have our family, just us. I was even thinking maybe tomorrow we can go look at houses, and just take some time to relax and be a family."

Lizzie gave a slight nod but then glanced away and he frowned. "Honey talk to me, what's wrong?" When she didn't answer for a few seconds he took a deep breath and then she looked at him. "I kind of…like it here. I feel safe here, with Reddington watching over us." Tom gave her a look of disapproval and sat back. "Liz we can't stay here, and were never going to be safe as long as were in his shadow. You and I both know that. I was talking to Cooper and he agreed that he would help you find a job anywhere that has a field office. We could finally go to Nebraska or anywhere you want Liz."

She shook her head looking at him. "I don't want that Tom, I want to stay here and continue to work at the Post Office. As much as you don't like it I can't quit what's been started, and I still don't have the answers I need about my past."

Tom stood up shaking his head and glaring slightly at her.

"He's never going to give you any answers Liz, he hasn't after all of this time and he won't. This game he's played with you if never going to end until he finally gets whatever it is he wants from you." He sighed and shook his head. "He is not a good person Liz, he's not and he never will be."

Lizzie stood up and looked at Tom. "You don't know him Tom, you have no clue as to what he wants or why any of this has happened."

He scoffed at her. "I know more than you think I know about him, he was my employer Liz or had you forgotten that? I'm not proud of my past but I can't change the things I did, but I am not going to stand by and allow my daughter to be raised in that world, in his world. Somehow you seem to forget what world he lives in."

Walking over she grabbed an empty glass she had been drinking out of earlier in the evening and placed it in the kitchen sink. She was done with their conversation but apparently, he wasn't as he followed her.

"Liz, did you hear what I just said?"

She sighed and placed her hands on the counter top and gripped it slightly.

"I heard you, and I'm sorry I don't know what you want me to say. I'm not moving away and leaving everything behind I wouldn't be happy."

Tom rubbed his face and then looked at her.

"I can't do this Liz, and I won't. So, you need to decide what's more important. Our family, our Reddington."

She turned and looked at him disbelievingly.

"You heard what I said Liz, so take your pick. You want to stay here and keep playing his games like a puppet then you do that, without me."

He turned and grabbed his keys and she followed him but it was no use Tom slammed the door and she immediately sighed hearing Agnes crying from the commotion and went to tend to her. The rest of the night she barely slept as she replayed everything from their argument and thought about the future. When the alarm went off the next morning he still hadn't come back, and she still wasn't sure what to do.
