Chapter 3

Kay's eyes blinked open as she heard something. Light babbles could be heard from the baby monitor. Farrah was awake. She looked over to Cameron who was sound asleep. She gently stroked his cheek before she got out of bed. She walked over to the other room. She went over to the crib where Farrah was still lying down next to her bunny, squeezing the plush's nose and her eyes were wide open, "Hey baby girl." Farrah grinned at Kay as the tiny girl gripped her soft pink blanket as she kicked her legs in excitement. "Did you sleep well?" Farrah giggled which Kay took to mean she had slept just fine.

"Kay!" Farrah squealed as she let go of her blanket and held up her arms wanting to be picked up.

"Hi." Kay smiled as she carefully picked up Farrah, "Hi Farrah. Uncle Cam and Uncle Jonathan are still sleeping so we're going to hang out for a little while." She gave the child a tight hug as Farrah wrapped her tiny arms around Kay's neck. First thing Kay did was make sure Farrah was wearing a clean diaper before she took the little girl into the kitchen. "Now let's get you a bottle." Farrah giggled. "Yeah, do you want some milk?"

"Milk?" Farrah repeated.

Kay handed her the bottle, "Yeah, this is milk and it's in your bottle."

"Botta."

"Yeah Baby Girl. A bottle."

"Botta!" Farrah grinned upon learning this new word and taking the bottle from Kay. Farrah started drinking her milk as Kay went to place her in her high chair. She got out a little bowl of cheerios and placed it in front of the child. Kay smoothed out the toddler's curls before placing a light kiss on her head as Farrah began munching on her cereal. She walked over and started to get some coffee ready. "Kay?" Farrah called out after a few minutes.

Kay walked back over to the little girl, "What is it Farrah?"

"Kay stay?"

"I have to go to work again sweetie." The toddler didn't really understand what this 'work' was and blinked her eyes at the agent. Kay sighed, "If I had my way, I'd love to spend as much time with you as you want."

"Kay stay." Farrah pouted.

Kay cracked a tiny smile, "I'll stay as long as I can." She gave Farrah another kiss on the head. A few moments later, Kay noticed Farrah kicking her legs in excitement; she turned around and found Cameron coming into the kitchen area. He looked a bit somber. Kay gave him a curious look as she turned around, "Cameron?" He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her. Kay was surprised for a moment before she relaxed and wrapped her arms around him as well. Cameron buried his face in her shoulder as Kay gently placed a hand on the back of his head. "Cameron?" she whispered softly, "What is it?"

"I'm sorry." He mumbled. "I just... I'm just worried."

Kay felt her heart break for him. This whole mystery woman business had finally been put behind them only to have it be brought back up again. "I'm sorry. I wish I could promise that we'll find her soon but-"

"I know." He looked over Kay's shoulder to Farrah in her high chair. His niece was just drinking her milk and playing with the cheerios in her bowl in her bunny pajamas, blissfully unaware of the potential danger they were all in. "Do you think she'll be working with the Blancs again?"

Kay furrowed her brows slightly as she pulled away, "What makes you say that?" Cameron sighed as he and Kay sat down by the kitchen island. He took out the letter he had placed in the drawer the night before. He hesitantly handed it over to her. She started to read through it. She tried to keep her face as emotionless as possible but Cameron could see her brows slowly starting to frown. She placed the letter on the island counter, "They... they can't do that. Shawn's siblings can't take custody of Farrah. They have no reasoning to take her."

"How are you so sure?"

"Cam, I triple checked Farrah's adoption papers before you sent them in and every single thing was in order. You even gave the Blancs a window of opportunity to come and claim her at the judge's request but they never even showed up." Kay placed her hand on her boyfriend's in support. "Cameron. She legally became your child the moment you signed those papers. Nothing can change that especially since you are her blood relative."

Cameron sighed, "So are they."

"But one key difference between you and them is the fact that you've been there for Farrah. Do I need to remind you that you've taking care of her the minute you found her in that hidden wall? Where have they been the last nine months?" Cameron gave her a worried look, "This is one thing I can promise. We are not going to lose Farrah." Cameron didn't respond. "Cameron?" She squeezed his hand, "I hope you know that'll I'll be here for you. However you need." He just looked at her with a small uneven smile. She could help but smile back, "Camer-hmph!" She was cut off by him smashing his lips against hers. Kay was shocked but quickly and gladly responded to him.

Cameron's hands moved to cup her neck as he tilted her head to deepen the kiss just for a moment. Kay placed one hand on his arm as the other sat on his shoulder. They quickly pulled away. Cameron rested his forehead against hers, "I love you..."

Kay gave a soft smile, "I love you too..."

"I'm sorry that you got caught up in all this."

"Hey..." She said softly, "Cameron, look at me." He opened his eyes to look into hers, "Nothing and nobody is forcing me to stay. I'm here, with you, because I want to be." She let out a slight chuckle, "We've been together for almost a year, what's it going to take to convince you? I'm not going anywhere. Get used to it."

Cameron grinned, "God, I love you." He kissed her again as she smiled against his lips.

When their little moment was over, Kay felt the need to pull the conversation back to the issue at hand, "Have you told Jonathan about the letter?"

"...No." He grimaced.

"Why not?"

"I can't... I don't... want to give him any more to worry about."

"I can understand that but Cameron... he deserves to know." Cameron didn't know how to respond. "Hey..." Kay said softly, "You know that if you tell him, he'll only want to help."

"I know, it's just... I don't know. I know I shouldn't keep this from him. Farrah's just as important to him as she is to me. As she is to all of us." Just then, Farrah let out a noise wanting attention. Cameron walked over to his niece and picked her up out of the high chair, taking her empty cereal bowl and bottle and placing them in the sink. "Well good morning to you too Farrah."

"Cam'mon!" She giggled as she hugged her uncle's neck, kicking her legs.

Cameron couldn't help but crack a smile, "Someone's in a good mood."

Farrah pointed to Kay and reached out to her, "Kay."

Cameron let out a chuckle as Kay took the toddler from him, "I think someone also has a favourite."

Kay let out another chuckle as she held Farrah close, "No. She loves you too." She turns her head to Farrah, "Right Farrah?" Kay points to Cameron, "You love Uncle Cameron too, right?"

Farrah just smiled when she looked to Cameron. Cameron smiled as he placed the letter back in the drawer, "I love you too Farrah." Farrah giggled and rested her head on Kay's shoulder. "You're really good with her."

Kay shook her head, "She's just an easy kid." She smirked, "Very hard to believe that she's related to you."

"Agent Daniels, are you saying that I'm not easy?" Kay laughed which made Cameron then furrow his brows, "Wait... that's not what I meant."

Kay raised her eyebrows as her laughter died down, "Right."

Cameron lovingly shook his head and walked over to the stovetop, "Do you want some breakfast?"

"Would love some." She replied as she stroked Farrah's head, letting the little girl relax in her arms.

(~**~) (~**~) (~**~) (~**~)

Kay soon left for work to hopefully get a lead on where Cornelia. Cameron said he'd come to the office with Johnny after he woke up.

Jonathan woke up to the sound of Farrah shrieking and laughing in the living room. He made his out of his room to find Cameron lying on his back as he lifted Farrah up into the air then back down as he counted, "And fourteen!" Farrah shrieked with laughter as Cameron brought her back down then lifted her back up again, "And fifteen!"

Jonathan raised an eyebrow at his brother, "Uh, Cam?" Cameron held Farrah in the air as he sat up and gently placed Farrah on the ground, letting her walk around.

"Hey Johnny."

"What were you doing?"

"Baby push-ups." Cameron shrugged, "Keeps Farrah entertained and it's a good workout."

Jonathan snorted, "Workout? She weighs like two pounds."

"Johnny, you and I both know that's not true. It'd be dangerous for a kid to weigh that much."

Jonathan was about to reply when a pair of tiny arms suddenly wrapped around his leg. He looked down to find Farrah having pressed her cheek against his leg, "Hey Jellybean." Farrah just tightened her hold on Jonathan's leg in response. "Kay already went to work?"

Cameron nodded, "She wanted to get to work on the case." He sighed, "I really thought we could finally just... move on from this."

"Truthfully..." Jonathan said as he knelt down and picked up Farrah, "As long as she's around, I don't think it'll ever be over."

Cameron sighed. There was a moment of silence before he spoke up again, "Johnny, there's something I need to tell you. In fact, I probably should have told you last night."

Cameron proceeded to show Jonathan the letter. He noticed his brother's expression change multiple times as his eyes scanned the paper. Jonathan finally slammed the letter down on the countertop in exasperation, making Farrah yelp in surprise. Her eyes started to tear up. Johnny was quick to change his mood and to try to sooth her, "Hey... hey... it's okay. I'm sorry. That wasn't smart of me." A few tears ran down her chubby cheeks but Johnny managed to calm her down before she got too upset.

"Johnny?" Cameron said.

"They... they can't actually take her away, can they?"

"According to Kay, they don't really have any sturdy reasoning to take her."

Jonathan held his niece closer as she gripped his shirt collar, "Why do they want her? Why now?"

Cameron shook his head and sighed, "All I know is what's in that letter. I don't know why they want her or why they're coming for her now."

Jonathan sighed, "Maybe... maybe we could uh... ask Lara if she can get any information on the Blanc family that we don't already know."

"The archivist?"

The older twin shrugged, "I mean she works with Kay. The FBI probably has more information on a rich family like them. She might be able to help."

Cameron nodded, "You can ask her."

Jonathan's eyes widened slightly, "Me?"

Cameron smirked and shrugged, "It was your idea." Farrah suddenly let out a giggle. "Looks like even Farrah sees the logic in that."

Jonathan rolled his eyes, "Fine. Let's call the team, they're gonna wanna get in on this."

(~**~) (~**~) (~**~) (~**~)

When Cameron and Jonathan got there, the team was already there, looking through the case file. Mike and Kay had set up a small conference room for them all to work in. "Why isn't Farrah at daycare?" Dina asked when the stroller came into the room.

"Cameron's paranoid." Jonathan replied.

"I am not." Cameron explained, "I'm just... I don't want... strangers looking after her right now." Jonathan rolled his eyes at his brother.

"Cameron," Jordan started, "You can't hide her out here forever."

"He's right." Gunter nodded, "Who knows how long it will take this time. You can't hide the little girly from the world."

Cameron sighed as he looked to Farrah who was in her stroller. Her bunny next to her while she played some kid's game on his phone. "I know... you guys are right. I just... I'm just worried."

"Well, trust us when we say that nothing is going to happen to her." Gunter responded making Cam grin slightly. "They'd have to get through us first."

"Thanks." Cameron's mood suddenly brightened, "Hey Johnny?" Jonathan raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you say that Lara might be able to help?"

"What?" Jonathan replied in a deadpan tone.

"Lara?" Dina smirked, "Who's Lara?"

Cameron smirked as well, "Oh, well, she's-"

"She's an archivist for the FBI. She works with Mike and Kay." Jonathan explained, "I really don't know what the big deal is to ask now."

"No, it's no big deal at all." Cameron and Dina shared a knowing look. "I was just bringing up the fact that she might be able to help. You said so yourself."

"Right... I guess I'll go ask her then" Jonathan narrowed his eyes as he took the stroller and headed to Lara's office.

"Why are you taking Farrah with you?"

"Because there's less chance that she'll see a picture of a dead body in an archivist's office." Jonathan replied, "We're not traumatizing her just yet."

A few minutes later, Cameron saw Mike heading into his office. The magician walked over to his friend's office and knocked on the door, "Hey."

"Hey Cam, Kay just went to get some coffee, she got here before I did. Had to remind her to take a break."

Cameron chuckled, "Actually Mike, I need to talk to you for a minute."

"Oh. Sure, come on in."

Cameron went inside and closed the door behind him. He took a seat in front of his friend's desk, "I'll make this quick. I thought I should show you something." Cameron took a tiny black velvet box out of the inside breast pocket of his jacket. He opened it to reveal a vintage-style halo engagement ring with a small diamond in the center.

Mike's eyes went wide for a moment before letting out a chuckle, "Well, Cameron, I'm flattered but you know I'm with Dina. Plus I just don't think that ring will fit me."

Cameron let out a chuckle himself, "You know what? I think you're right." He gave a nervous sigh, "Do you think Kay will like it?"

Mike gave a friendly smile, nodding, "I think she will... but... why are you telling me about this before you tell Kay?"

"Well, you're her partner and I know you're a bit protective of her so-"

"You're asking for my blessing?"

"Yeah. I mean, I don't know, it made sense and well... honestly, you're the only one other than Johnny who I can trust with not telling Kay before it's time."

Mike chuckled at that statement, "Well, I'm honoured. So you're really going to do this?"

"Yeah..." Cameron nodded as he brought the ring box closer to himself and took a good look at it, "I'm going to ask Kay to marry me."

Well, well, well-y, well, well! Is anyone surprised? If not, I don't blame, I'm not good with surprises LOL
