A/N – Hey everyone! As always, thanks for the reviews! I have made an executive decision to not do part 3 of this story. At least for now. I've had a few ideas pop into my head lately for another story. Part 3 is always a possibility for later, or if I think up a good idea but it's not going to be prominent in my to-do list. I'm hoping to have this story done before the beginning of September, because I'll be moving back up to university at that time, then heading to classes and I won't have as much time to write. BUT, I still will, just not as often so I want to have this story finished by then. Keep checking!

Chapter 25:

"You're serious?" Sue asked quietly as she got into her pajamas. They had finally gotten the girls settled down for the evening and were looking forward to a good nights sleep after the day's busy events and the previous restless evening. Jack grinned.

"Straight from the horse's mouth but not a word to Tara!"

"Of course not! I just can't believe it!"

"Well, it's not going to happen quite yet. Bobby kind of let it slip to me this morning before you came to work. I think it was because he knew I was going to propose to you before anyone else did. Not that I meant for him to know…" Sue looked at him with a funny look. "I told you this story didn't I?" She shook her head and smiled. "Lucy and Bobby were both asking me over and over when I was going to pop the question to you. Little did they know I already had plans too. I bought the ring and came into work early one morning. Bobby was there and he noticed the box shape in my pocket. He figured it out, and said something to make sure I was able to hide it before you found out."

Sue picked up her pillow and threw it at her husband.

"Genius Sparky." She said sarcastically with a grin as he chucked the pillow back at her. "Tara and Luce were totally down my throat about it too. I just thought you didn't want to marry me. Not with Savannah on the way…" she looked aside as Jack walked over to her and kissed her. After he looked into her eyes,

"You've made me the happiest man on earth. How could I ever have not wanted to marry you?" She smiled and kissed him again. After a few moments enjoying each others company, they went back to getting ready for bed.

"Well, I don't think Tara suspects anything. Not from what I've picked up." Jacks eyes sparkled.

"I think we need to…help them along a bit." Sue shot him a look with a mischievous grin.

"What did you have in mind?"

"Well, Bobby isn't going to pop the question yet. I think he's waiting until things settle down a bit at work too. Plus, he's hiding behind the fact that they work together and that they've only been seeing each other for almost a year." Sue laughed.

"Sounds like us, we both hid behind the work excuse for 3 years and what's he talking about, only a year? We got engaged after 4 weeks and were married at 3 months! We haven't even been married a year yet and we have 2 children!" Jack rolled his eyes.

"I know - that's what I told him. I think he's just nervous and thinks she wouldn't want to marry him. So here's the plan. I go have a boy's night out – play some pool at the pool hall with the guys – Bobby, D, and Myles. You have a girl's night, you know all those lame chick flicks, junk food. You guys can stay here with the girls and party. I'll talk to Bobby more about it; you bring up the subject to Tara. See what you can get out of her. Then that evening we conspire and tell each other what the other person said!" Sue couldn't help but noticed Jack's eager face that looked like a little boy planning a surprise party. He was so excited she could hardly deny him the pleasure of setting his best friend up to propose to his girlfriend.

"Deal. I'll invite Tara, Luce, and Donna. See if we can't coax some info out of her. Also – while you're at it with Bobby, I think there's something else we should talk about." They both crawled into bed.

"You have my attention."

"I think Lucy might still like Myles." She said. Jack raised his eyebrows. "It's just a feeling I got. She was kind of weird towards him, especially once we learned he broke up with that nurse he had met."

"You're right. He's been a little weird towards her too, now that you mention it. At work he's almost abnormally polite towards her."

"I have to say, as much as I miss the old sarcasm from him, this new Myles is quite likable." Sue added, having noticed how much his attitude had changed towards her as well.

"Well, I'll see what I can get out of him too. He's a tough guy to crack though." They finally both settled into bed and drifted off to sleep, knowing that their sleep wouldn't be long before one of the babies woke them up.

"Good news Jack and Sue. Your daughters are both in perfect health and growing fine. As for Savannah's hearing, everything looks excellent. We'll be sure to keep an eye on it though. I'm going to recommend you to a pediatrician I know - one that can get the whole history for both babies and so she knows to keep and eye on Savannahs hearing." Dr. Mireck informed them.

"Thanks so much!" Jack exclaimed as he went to grab Savannah. Sue took Sophia in her arms as Jack grabbed the baby's bag as well and they headed out the door of the little clinic room.

"Take it easy you guys! And good luck!" They smiled at the doctor as they walked out the door and to their new van. They had been finding it was harder and harder to get the girls buckled into Sue's car, and since she wasn't working full time at the FBI, they gave the car back and bought a mini-van. Jack was now enduring endless teasing from Bobby of being a "soccer-mom" but he didn't mind. They set off to the bullpen for another day of work.

Sue was now spending all her afternoons there, with the girls, working on the Karoline Grenon case. There was still no sign of her killers, nor any other victims. Almost all of the evidence was not helping their case – except one little piece of information. Karoline's credit cards had been used after she had been murdered. The odd part was that they had found her credit cards in the wallet left with her body. They were traced to a few stores outside DC, but didn't lead to much help. No one seemed to recognize anyone having used the cards, nor had any surveillance.

Sue and Jack walked into the bullpen at lunch time. Everyone was sitting snacking on their lunch as they casually went over their evidence, hoping to find some leads. Sue got the girls into the usual swings, which kept them the happiest and started to work at her computer. Lucy came over,

"Are we still on for tonight? Tara and I did some baking last night!"

"Awesome! Yup we're still on for 6. I made some meatloaf for supper."

"No fair!" Bobby piped up. "I want your meatloaf." Sue laughed.

"You were just over last night eating our leftover meatloaf!" Jack said indignantly. Bobby just shrugged and grinned.

"Well, Sophia and Savannah missed me so I just had to come over. And I was hungry so I raided your fridge while I was at it. Sue said to make myself at home." Sue just rolled her eyes and laughed again. "Are you going to bring the girls with you tonight Jack?" Bobby asked hopefully.

"I'm not bringing my kids to a pub Crash!" Bobby started to pout.

"But then Sue has to take care of them both. It's hard work. Why don't you bring at least one to help your wife out a bit!" He strode over to the swings. "Okay girls – which one of you is going to be my date? Uncle Bobby is going to teach you how to play pool." He said to them with a baby voice. They both started to giggle and coo. Sue turned to him,

"Tell you what. You come over and baby-sit one night next week so Jack and I can get out on a date. It's been months since we've been out alone. Then you can spend all the time you want with them." Bobby nodded happily and went back to his desk. Ted walked in, a hesitant look on his face.

"Emergency meeting everyone. In the boardroom." He said quickly and left. Sue turned to Jack and gave him a 'wonder what that's about?' look. He shrugged in return, and started to grab his files from his desk. Sue went over to the swings where the girls were swinging, still awake. Myles hurried over as everyone else was heading to the boardroom.

"Can I help?"

"Sure! Why don't you take Sophia? Thanks Myles – its hard enough holding one, let alone two plus Levi." Myles unstrapped Sophia from her swing and picked her up. He waited as Sue got Savannah, as well as some toys for them to keep them occupied.

Soon, everyone was settled around the big table, waiting for Ted. Savannah was half asleep in Sue's arms, Sophia in Myles arms, staring at his face as he was making funny noises and looks at her. Sue and Jack both looked quickly at Lucy and noticed a small smile form on her face as she watched Myles play with the baby. Sue shot Jack and knowing look and he gave her a little nod and grin as Ted walked in.

"We have some new information about the case. We have reason to believe that Ms. Grenon may still be alive."

"But…" Sue started. "The picture?" Ted nodded.

"I know – we can't prove it but we think it might not be her. There is a small chance that the woman was someone who looked a lot like Karoline Grenon. It may have been staged. We have kept an eye on her house, as you know Sue, but also tracked down one of the stores that her credit card was used at. It was in West Virginia and we got a copy of their surveillance tapes. The woman looked exactly like Karoline Grenon. Because the DNA and fingerprints of the body found were unknown, we can't be sure that it was her. As for the woman in the store, it could just be coincidence that a woman that looked a lot like her was in there at the same time her card was used. There were a few suspicious looking men that had been in the convenience store at the same time she was. We have no way of telling who used the card. They are all being looked into as we speak."

"Okay, so we have a lead. We narrow it down to find out who of those people were using the card and bingo." Demetrius added.

"There's more too though." He glanced at Sue, who noticed the look of concern in his eyes. She held onto her daughter a bit tighter, and she looked at him with hesitant eyes.

"What?" She asked quietly, wondering what else there could be.

"We did some research on Karoline's family history. We are still trying to locate her parents, but we did find out that she has only one other sister."

"Who's the sister?" Myles asked,

"Her name was Ivy Grenon until she got married. It's now Ivy Cakeman."

"What?" Jack asked, as he glanced at his wife who suddenly looked a little pale and very confused.

"Karoline Grenon is the sister of James Cakemans ex-wife. The man who attacked Sue with Greg Halstern last year. Which makes Karoline his ex sister-in-law." Sue could feel everyone's eyes on her. Jack took her free hand, wondering what was going through her head, overcome with worry. She spoke up quietly.

"It doesn't mean anything. James is in jail. Maybe it's all just a coincidence?" She said, with a look that doubted what she had just said. Ted spoke up,

"Here's my theory. Ms. Grenon faked her death by planting the evidence on a woman she killed that looked just like her for some reason. Maybe to avenge her sister and former brother in law. She may still be out there and she obviously wants something, from the note left. Or, she was actually killed and there is someone out there ready to kill again. I think we need to have a chat with her sister. For now, she's our primary suspect until we located Ivy and Karoline's parents, as well as the people in the store on the surveillance tape." They all nodded and headed back to work. Before leaving the boardroom, Jack went up to Sue.

"Are you okay?" he asked quietly, taking a sleeping Savannah from her tired arms. She nodded.

"He's in jail Jack. It's all over, that not the problem. I just can't help but feel that Karoline is innocent in all this." He took her hand,

"I hope so honey. I really do." They headed out of the boardroom to the bullpen.
