"That is cheating!" Heather said as she is playing against Miranda in Wii Tennis as Erin and Nicky look on.
"No it's not. It's called, you're losing to your Mom." Miranda said and her phone starts ringing.
"Damn it. Saved by the bell." Miranda hands the control over to Nicky and picks up her phone.
"Captain Hill." Miranda said and Erin looks at her and sees her fiancée's demeanor change instantly. Miranda puts on her shoes and grabs her service weapon from the locked box, along with her badge and cuffs.
"Ok, call my unit into work. Wake all of them up and I'll be over at the hospital." Miranda hangs up the phone and sighs.
"What's going on honey?" Erin asked.
"Got an officer down from my precinct. I gotta go." They kiss and Miranda heads out.
"I'll talk to him." Frank said softly.
"Commissioner, would it be ok if I talked to him?" Miranda asked and he looks at her then nods and she walks to the chapel. She looks through the window then quietly opens the door. Andrew looks over and feels the tears in his eyes when he sees the look on Miranda's face. Miranda sees five year old Katie sleeping in the pew then shakes her head to Andrew, who breaks down. She walks over and squats down next to him and rubs his back, knowing he needs to let out his emotions and won't say anything until he's ready.
"My job was to make sure every single one of you goes home after your tour and last night, I failed that promise when we lost Officer Collins." Miranda said to the patrol officers and detectives the following morning at roll call.
"I will make this promise to her. No stone will be left unturned until we find the son of a bitch who did this in our house. I want every single one of you, including my detectives, to wear your vests when you're out there in our city. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Because I want all of you to go home to your loved ones. Let's get to work." Miranda finished then walks out of the on call room.
At Sunday dinner, Miranda barely touches her food. She puts her fork down and slides back.
"Excuse me." She said softly then walks out of the room.
"She still beating herself up for allowing Collins to work that night?" Jamie asked Erin.
"Yeah. She's barely slept and is making sure that her widower and daughter are doing ok. Not to mention the wedding planning is slowly taking a toll on her." Erin said. As Miranda is in the sun room, she hears Danny and Henry going after Erin. She stands up and walks to the dining room and places her hands on her hips after Erin walks by her.
"I am so beyond pissed off and it's getting to the point where I'm going to ask Erin to elope because you, Danny, and you Henry, are on my last nerves. Danny, the witness was a seventy year old woman. Of course Erin would be concerned about her testimony and the defense attorney would be using Alzhimer's in the court room and would use every defense tactic to screw with the witness's head. And Henry, I am in love with your granddaughter and I wouldn't have asked her to marry me if I didn't. But I hear those remakes that you make behind my back about my sexuality and how Heather needs a father in her life."
"I'm sorry, what?" Heather asked.
"We'll talk about that later sweetie. Until I calm my future wife down, the only people allowed at mine and Erin's wedding at the table are Frank, Jamie and our girls. That's it. If you all will excuse me, I need to find my fiancée." Miranda finished then walks away from the dining room. She walks to the back porch and sits down next to Erin.
"Thank you." Erin said softly as she places her head on her fiancée's shoulder.
"No one gets to talk to you like that in front of me." Miranda said softly then tenderly kisses Erin's forehead then pulls out her phone and sends a mass text to her squad.
From Miranda:
If any of you think about pulling the Blue Flu again
You will be suspended without pay for a week
That night, Miranda and Erin are going over the seating chart for the reception when there's a knock on the door.
"Come in." Erin said as Miranda writes down a name. The door opens and Heather is standing there.
"Hey sweetie. What's up?" Miranda asked.
"So that thing at dinner?" Heather asked.
"Let's just say that I don't agree with Henry and his old fashion ways."
"I know and just for the record, I don't need a dad. I have two amazing Moms and soon-to-be three amazing Moms. Besides, you're more manlier than any man would be." Erin chuckles and Miranda lightly taps her daughter with the pillow.
"Go to bed, Heat. You have school in the morning." Miranda said with a smile.
"Night." Heather said as she walks to the door.
"Good night honey." Erin said.
"Good night baby girl." Miranda said and Heather closes the door.
"Jim! My office. NOW!" Miranda yelled as she walks into the squad room and the patrol officer walks into the office and Miranda slams the door shut.
"What the hell are you doing calling the Blue Flu?" Miranda asked him.
"Ma'am, with all due respect, I had to make that call." He said.
"Yeah and guess what? YOU LET THREE RAPISTS WALK! Thanks to you, my ADA can't charge them again!" He doesn't say anything.
"You leave me no choice, Jim." He has a confused look on his face.
"With what?" He asked.
"You're suspended. Until further notice. I will not have this type of insubordination in my until. This will be written in your jacket. Dismissed." He walks out of the room and she sighs then thinks of something. She gets up and walks out of the precinct and heads over to the 5-4.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"We get him to reject the deal." Miranda said softly and Danny looks at her, intrigued, as Erin walks over.
"And if he does?"
"We arrest him with murder one and have his confession, which would be admissible in court." Erin finished for Miranda, who looks at her.
"So how do we do this?" Danny asked as he stands up.
"Follow my lead, detective." Miranda said then the three of them walk into the interrogation room.
"You're really blind, aren't you Counselor?" Miranda asked, acting, but knew that she was hurting fiancée deep down.
"Captain, enough." Erin said.
"I reject the deal." Reed said and Miranda looks at him.
"Did you just hear reject the deal, Captain Hill?" Erin asked.
"Yes indeed I did, Counselor. Detective? Did you hear what I heard?" Miranda asked as he pulls out his handcuffs.
"Yes I did."
"Then in light of Mr. Reed's confession, book him under murder one." Erin said and Miranda and Danny struggle with him and Miranda shoves the suspect onto the table.
"Threaten my fiancée again and I will have Detective Reagan personally take you to the Tombs." Miranda said to Reed, who stops struggling, and Miranda looks at Erin.
"You ok?" Miranda asked as Danny escorts the suspect out of the room.
"I'm good." Miranda kisses her cheek and they head out.
"Do you think you can invite the rest of my family now to our wedding?" Erin asked as they're on the way to Erin's childhood home.
"Yeah. I just pissed off because Collins was one of my best patrol officers and I just got tired of them badgering you." Miranda said as she is in the driver's seat of Erin's car. She pulls into the driveway then they head to the back door.
"Hey." Frank said when he sees them.
"Hi." Miranda said as Erin places her briefcase down.
"What's going on?"
"We were just in the neighborhood." Erin said as Miranda hands her a drink.
"Hey Miranda. These came for you and Erin. I think they're your engagement photos." Jamie said and Miranda takes the envelope from him. Erin places her chin on Miranda's shoulder and they look through the pictures.
"I love this one." Erin said as she looks at one with her, Nicky, Heather and Miranda.
"We're laughing in the picture." Miranda said.
"Exactly." Danny walks into the kitchen and he and Miranda fist bump then shows him the pictures of the full family.
"You know, when one of our own goes down, we step it up a notch. Especially this family." Frank said and everyone is looking at him as Miranda takes a bite of the cookie.
"We're all in the same business, but we all have different jobs. Sometimes it's easy to forget we're all on the same side. Anyway, I understand that Angio Reed was booked on murder charges with the help from one Captain Hill." Frank finished then looks at Danny then Erin then Miranda.
"Must be hell of a story." Frank added in.
"I'd like to hear it." Jamie said as Miranda and Erin look at Danny, who is looking at the duo.
"Me too." Henry said.
"He confessed." Danny said.
"That's it?" Frank asked.
"Yeah. No big deal." Erin said.
A week later, Henry looks through the mail and sees Erin's and Miranda's wedding invitation and slowly smiles. He knew that he's been acting unfairly to the women because they're in a relationship with each other, but he also knew that his granddaughter and great-granddaughter were in the best hands with Miranda.
