A/N - Sorry for the bit of delay with posting again. Thank you all so much for the sweet comments! I'm so happy my story is helping those of us in a MAJOR DreAM drought! Hope the show gets it together soon, but if not, I have a bunch more planned! ;) This chapter is short and sweet but I hope it tides you over for a bit.

"Incoming!" Flashes of explosions and the stuttering of machine gun fire filled the air. "Get down!" Drew screamed out behind him to his other squad members. "Jenkins! Hang on, I'm coming!" Drew cried out to the man laying 100 yards in front of him, in the middle of the firefight. "Craig, get up here, I need your help," Drew calls to his fellow SEAL. The man comes running up and crouches next to Drew.

Drew puts his hand on his shoulder, "I need to go and get Jenkins. I need you to cover me." Drew explains emphatically.

"Chief, you can't do that, it's suicide, you'll be totally exposed if you go out there." Craig forcefully implores as he tugs on Drew's arm.

"I'm NOT leaving him! He needs the medic. I'm going, YOU need to cover me!" Drew shrugs off Craig's arm and begins preparing his supplies and making sure his weapon was ready. He looks up to see Craig's skeptical look.

"Look," Drew says, more calmly now. "I can't leave him. I won't leave him out there to die. He's just a kid, you know." Drew grabs on to Craig's shoulder, "you know he's important to someone very important to me, I WON'T let HER down." Drew continues, making sure Craig understood this was happening.

"I understand, I've got you covered. I'll call up Jennings and Shore too." Craig concedes and signals up the other two men.

"Ready?" Drew questions of the men as they crouch behind their Humvee. "You guys provide cover fire and I'm going to haul my ass out there and drag him back." Drew looks back at his men for the signal that they were ready and he steps out from behind the vehicle. Just as he did he heard, the sound of a rocket launcher heading straight for the Humvee. "Take Cov….!"

Drew shot straight up in bed, covered in a cold sweat. His breathing was heavy and his heart was racing. He took several deep breaths in and out and rubbed his hand over his face while shaking off the nightmare. He looked around the room to fully get his bearings.

"Wow, uh, some of these memories, are," Drew stopped himself. He had a far off look as he thought about how that nightmare ended.

"Okay, time to get out and get some fresh air," he gently coaxes himself. He crawls out of bed and heads to the shower.

Drew felt somewhat better as he walked downstairs. He knew what would definitely brighten his day. His baby girl. Standing in the foyer he pulled his phone out of his pocket to text Sam so he could make arrangements to see Scout today. When he pulled up Sam's number on his phone he flashed back to the other night at her apartment. He remembered how she smelled, how good she felt in his arms.

"Not now," Drew quietly whispers to himself as he clears his throat and puts his mind back to the task on hand.

He texts Sam and finds out that he could actually see Scout right now. She could drop her off with him at Kelly's. A wide smile crosses across Drew's face as he grabs his jacket and heads for the door.

Just as he opens the door, he finds Kim standing there ready to knock.

"What do you want," Drew seethes at her, glaring.

"Drew, hey I was hoping I could talk to you for a minute?" Kim asks flashing half a smile.

"I don't think we have anything to talk about and I'm on my way out," Drew growls as he prepares to push past her.

"Okay, I get it, I know you're furious with me, but can I please, can I at least apologize?"

"Depends. Are you apologizing for how you lied about Oscar or about how you set me up to get kidnapped?" Drew shoots daggers at Kim as the words come out of his mouth.

Kim's eyes widen and she gasps when she realizes he remembers her part in Peter taking him.

"Wait, Drew what are you saying? Do you remember your past, our past?" Kim excitedly responds taking a step toward Drew and reaching up to touch his face.

Drew grabs her hand and pushes it away quickly.

"I remember. I remember you set me up that night, in the bar with Peter. You knew what he was up to and you led me straight to Faison and them stealing my life!" Drew was now shouting right in Kim's face and making fists.

"No, Drew, please listen. I didn't know, I mean I didn't know everything, I didn't realize until it was too late what Peter was up to. I tried to get him to stop but he wouldn't listen to me. I didn't mean for any of that to happen, please believe me." Kim begs.

"Oh yeah, and did you, "mean," for any of 'that,' to happen when you told me Oscar was my son? When you let me bond with and come to love a boy who wasn't mine? My God, you had me mourning him thinking the son I had JUST gotten to know was dying! What is wrong with you?" Drew was furious now. He had gotten so upset that he didn't notice at first his head throbbing. He winced back the pain so as to not let on with Kim. He took a couple of deep breaths to calm down and relaxed the tension in his hands.

Kim was now crying and trying to grab at Drew to get him to listen. Drew had had enough of listening to this liar, he just wanted to get to his baby girl.

"Look, whatever you knew or didn't know or whatever your motivations, the bottom line is I now know the truth. I know we NEVER had any connection like you tried to make me believe. I never could figure out why I didn't feel any kind of pull to you. I thought, even without memories, I should feel something, but I NEVER did with you. Now I know it's because we were NOTHING, to each other back then and we are nothing to each other now!" Drew shoves past Kim and races off to meet up with Sam, leaving Kim crying in the doorway.

Kim was sobbing in the doorway curled up in a heap on the ground. She wanted Drew to listen to her, she needed him to see she didn't mean to hurt him. After crying for a few more minutes she pulled her head up out of her hands and stood up to leave. As she stood up she placed her hand on the door to steady herself and realized Drew left it open ajar. Kim took a quick look around to see if anyone was watching and then pushed the door open a little further. She poked her head in and quietly calls out, "Hello?" When she got no answer or no one came to see who was there she quickly stepped inside the house and closed the door behind her. Checking around one last time for anyone she swiftly makes her way up the stairs to Drew's room.

Drew was still trying to shake off his encounter with Kim when he strolled up to Kelly's. Sam had just texted that she was running late so he already knew he would be waiting a few more minutes to see his daughter. Heading into the diner to wait, he took in one more deep breath of fresh air to finally calm his anger. Just as he stepped inside someone rushing out falls right into his arms.
