Summary: After finding an abandoned baby near their home, John and Odafin take it in as their own. But after being outed at their precinct, can they handle the pressures of being gay fathers in a small minded world?
John and Fin awoke at an ungodly hour to a phone call. "Tutuola." Fin mumbled grouchily. He was soon awakened by the sinister voice. "Hello, Odafin… how's John and Robin?"
"Who is this?"
"Now, now. I'm not that simple." Fin nudged John and held the phone up so they both could hear. "I would watch your backs, after all, the NYPD doesn't respond well to fags…"
"You! You're the one who left the note!"
"Very good! I'm flattered! And that baby doesn't belong with faggots… have you checked on her yet?"
John immediately got up and ran to the crib. Robin was sleeping soundly. He took her in his arms and cuddled her, needing to feel her, to know she was still with them. "She's with us where she belongs." Fin spat. "You go near her or John and you'll pay for it."
"Will I? You don't even know when or where I'll strike…" He hung up.
John looked to him, a combination of anger and fear in his eyes. Fin immediately called the captain.
Elliot agreed to have the baby stay with his wife and kids, away from the line of fire. John was reluctant to give her up, he wanted her to stay with them, but he knew it was for the best.
"Munch. Fin." The captain called them into his office. They walked in, and he spoke. "I may have to take you off this case. You're way too involved in this. I'm giving the case to Elliot and Liv."
John blew up. "Captain, no! That's our baby in danger, we have to be in this!"
"I'm sorry, but you can't do this. I would've done the same if it were anyone else."
Munch opened his mouth, but instead shut it, looking visibly disappointed. He turned around and walked out of the office. Fin followed suit. "You okay?"
"No." John turned away from him. "I…I have to go. I need to see her."
"Okay. I'll be here if you need me." A quick kiss, and John was gone.
Fin had just finished pulling and cross-referencing some LUDs when he noticed the time. "John should've been back by now…" He got a phone call before he could react. "Tutuola."
"Odafin Tutuola?"
"Yes."
"Do you know a Detective John Munch?"
"Yeah." He started to worry.
"I'm Detective Nick Malone, I'm afraid that he…he's missing in action. Our perp took him hostage."
Fin immediately felt his heart shattering in his chest.
