NOTE: This is the sequel to "That's my Baby". Don't read this without reading that one first.

Summary: John Munch and Odafin Tutuola have successfully adopted Robin Magnolia, who is now 6 years old. When she gets kidnapped, what are they to do? Can they save her before it's too late?

Fin awoke the next morning, John still in his arms. His grip tightened on him. They still haven't received any news on Robin. John felt his strong arms around him and leaned up to kiss him. He tasted the salt on John's face, could tell he had been crying.

"How long have you been up?"

"About 20 minutes, didn't wanna wake you."

"I wish you would have. I'm here for you, John. Don't push me away."

He rested his head back on his chest. "I'm not. And I won't."

"I know."

Elliot and Olivia had been working around the clock trying to find anything on Robin. "Elliot. Liv. Why don't you go talk to Dan Frenza."

They looked at each other and got up. He was bound to have something to do with this.

When they arrived at Sing Sing, they found a horrible fact:

Dan Frenza was paroled a week ago.

John answered the phone at his home while Fin was asleep. "Hello?"

"John. It's Elliot."

"Any news?"

"…Dan Frenza was paroled."

John's knees started shaking. "Why the hell was he paroled?"

"He served out most of his sentence, and the prisons were overcrowded. I don't like it any more than you."

"I know, Elliot. Is there anything I can do?"

"No. Just stay there and stay strong."

"Thanks, El." He hung up.

John walked into the bedroom and crawled into bed with Fin. He gently wrapped his arms around his lover and sighed shakily. Fin awoke to find John breathing heavily and erratically. Fin realized he was having a panic attack. He had them after he had been shot. He sat up and held his lover's head to his chest, breathing deeply. The doctor had told him the best thing he could do was to get his breathing as normal as possible. "C'mon, John, breathe with me…c'mon, breathe…"

It took a few minutes, but he managed to get John's breathing under control. John made his lover face him. "Fin, I need you to make love to me. Please make the fear go away."

As Fin kissed him and complied with John's request, he still couldn't shake the nagging feeling that Robin was in serious danger.
