Olivia's hands were shaking as she hung up the phone. She turned to gaze at her daughter. She knew the voice. It was familiar but it didn't stick out to her. Someone came into the door. Olivia immediately grabbed her daughter and pulled her into her arms and drew her gun. Elliot came into view, to find his wife pointing a gun in his face.

Olivia slowly lowered her gun. Elliot rushed to her. She was not the type to overreact the way she did.

"What's the matter?" he asked, plucking Emily from her arms and stroking her hair.

Olivia shook her head, clearly indicating that she didn't want to talk about it in front of Emily. Elliot let it go.

The three of them had dinner with Emily chattering away and covering up any uncomfortable moments. Elliot and Olivia looked at their daughter with pride when she talked about school. The girl was smart…she had received her parents' detective skills was using it to her advantage against all her classmates.

A few hours later, Emily was sleeping on Olivia's lap. Elliot moved closer to her. "She's asleep." He pointed out.

Olivia nodded. "I think we should put her to bed." She said, stroking her daughter's dark brown hair.

Elliot complied. He gently lifted up his daughter from her mother's arms and carried her upstairs, with Olivia following. The two of them kissed her goodnight in turn and went into their bedroom.

"What happened, Liv?' Elliot asked gently, as he pulled her onto his lap and laid her head on his shoulder.

"I got a threat." She whispered softly. "It was someone I knew but I couldn't tell who. He said he's gonna bury me."

Elliot nearly exploded from worry. "Oh Olivia." He said, wrapping her in a hug as Olivia trembled in fear. "Don't worry. We'll get him."

Olivia buried her face in his chest. "It's not me that I'm worried about. I'm afraid he's going to hurt Emily."

Elliot pulled back and held Olivia's chin so that her brown eyes met his blue ones. "I won't let that happen, Olivia. I won't let him near you or Emily." He promised, kissing her forehead.

Olivia relaxed that night as she felt Elliot's arms around her. She turned to face her husband. He was asleep, but she could feel his strength. Elliot had always been there for her and she trusted him with her back, with her heart. They had been partners on the job and outside of it. She knew he would take care of her and their daughter. She nuzzled up to him and finally gave in to sleep.

Alex couldn't sleep. She was tossing and turning. Something was nagging at her. Something was telling her that something bad was going to happen, but she didn't know what. She rubbed her growing stomach. Her job had always made her wonder about having children and this child was unplanned. Jackson placed his hand over hers.

"It's okay, Alex. Nothing is gonna hurt this baby." He whispered.

Alex wasn't so sure. "A lot of people want me dead. Want my friends dead. How do I know that I can keep this baby safe?" she asked him.

Jackson gently touched her face and to his surprise found that it was wet. "Honey, you've kept hundreds of victims and their families safe and I'll be here every step of the way. Nothing's gonna happen." He comforted. "Now go to sleep. You need it."

Alex didn't obey. She stayed awake long after Jackson had fallen asleep. One question was tugging at the back of her mind. What if it's you that I can't keep safe?
