- Mom... Uncle Bobby...
At Jamie's shouts of joy, and at the sight of Eames and Goren entering Homicide, Jamie jumped out of Barek's office, leaving Barek alone, and he rushed towards them.
Eames felt her heart beat violently in her chest, ready to explode, at the sight of her son, and his small steps moving towards her, tears welled up in her eyes, clouding her vision.
Her baby...
Her little boy was there...
And rushing towards her.
And he had nothing.
My god...
It was a dream...
Her little boy running towards her.
And to think that she had been afraid of never seeing him again.
Imagining the worst.
Shyly she lifted her gaze to Goren's face, who was looking at Jamie running towards them, his brown eyes shining with relief, and love.
She could never forget that Goren had been there for her.
Supporting her through this ordeal.
- Mom... Mom...
At Jamie's small voice not far from her, Eames turned her face in her direction, and in relief, her legs no longer holding her, so strong was the emotion of finding her son, Eames dropped her knees to the ground, and opened her arms wide.
When he reached his mother, Jamie threw himself into her arms, and clutching his mother's shirt tightly in his little hands, clutched it, and burst into tears, crying his eyes out.
- Mom...
At her son's crying and breaking voice, Eames felt her heart break into a thousand pieces, and gently she held her son's little body close to her.
- My baby...
Goren's heart sank at the sight.
And to think that he had been afraid of never seeing his son again.
The flesh of his blood.
This being that he adored above all else.
And who was kindness itself.
He had almost never been able to tell him the truth about his fatherhood.
But now...
He had made up his mind.
He absolutely had to talk to Eames.
Telling him that he wanted to be Jamie's father in his own right.
Goren was so happy to have him back.
But his little boy was crying...
And it was tearing his heart out.
And it was all because of this blonde woman who had dared to take him away.
Jamie was a lively boy, very affectionate.
He had never seen him cry.
And seeing him cry hurt...
So bad.
His son was such a sweet boy...
That everyone loved.
He didn't deserve what he had gone through.
Jamie must have felt this fear of not seeing his mother anymore.
That fear of the unknown.
And especially...
Of not knowing what this lady wanted from him.
In addition...
Goren couldn't forget the sadness, and the worry that Eames had felt...
That fear of not seeing his son anymore.
The same as him.
Goren could never forget the state Eames had been in.
And he would never accept that someone could hurt the woman he held...
Or his son.
- Uncle Bobby...
At Jamie's sad and broken voice, Goren snapped out of his thoughts, and met two big brown eyes looking at him, their faces bathed in tears.
At the sight of his tears streaming down his son's cheeks, Goren felt a violent rage rise within him.
He would kill with his own hands this woman who had dared to touch his son, and hurt Eames.
He would never forgive such a thing.
The trauma Jamie had experienced.
With relief, and joy, Goren dropped to his knees on the ground, and pulled Emaes against him, Jamie in the middle of them both, he wrapped his arms around Eames, holding them gently against him.
Tears of joy welled up in his eyes, clouding his vision, and he rested his chin on Eames' blonde hair.
At the softness of Goren's arms, Eames felt so good, but then pulled himself together, realizing where they were.
My God…
The homicide world was witnessing the scene.
And they could all imagine things.
She absolutely had to tell him to get out of the way.
Even if her heart told her otherwise.
- Bobby...
At Eames's voice, Goren stepped back slightly, lowered his face to hers, revealing an Eames whose eyes fled him, and who blushed violently.
- We are being watched.
We're watching them.
It didn't matter that the homicide world was watching them.
He didn't care.
He was so happy to have his son back...
That nothing mattered more than having them in his arms.
And besides...
Goren was determined...
He would have to talk to Eames.
While the homicide world is watching...
It didn't matter.
- I don't care...
At his words, Eames opened her hazel eyes wide, surprised and shocked that such words could come from Goren's lips.
I don't care...
Eames must have heard wrong.
Goren could not have said his words.
And yet...
The gravity of his face told him it was true.
So it was true.
Goren didn't care that the whole criminal world was watching.
It felt strange...
He who was very strict with the rules.
He wanted to respect the rules...
And not to flout them.
And there...
In front of everyone he broke one of the rules.
So maybe...
Eames' heart was racing.
But she pulled herself together.
No.
She shouldn't get her hopes up.
- Uncle Bobby...
At his son's voice, Goren lowered their faces to his.
He had a big smile on his lips, his big brown eyes shining with adoration.
At that smile, and at the adoration in Jamie's eyes, Goren's heart sank.
Good God...
That adoration in Jamie's big brown eyes...
That smile...
Goren finally had to make a decision...
Even if it meant losing everything.
He had to be honest.
And finally tell Eames what was in his heart, what he wanted.
- Alex...
She looked up into Goren's serious face with her big hazel eyes. We'll have to talk.
At her words, Eames felt a violent anguish rise up inside her.
Goren wanted to talk.
And from the seriousness of his face...
She already knew that the subject was Jamie.
But sooner or later...
She knew it would happen.
The bar in her stomach, she nodded.
- Yes... We'll talk.
Logan left the interview room, and headed for his office, where normally Barek kept Jamie company.
But Jamie wasn't there.
And as Barek's brown eyes focused on the homicide's exit, he turned his face in the same direction.
At the vision that unfolded before his eyes his heart beat violently, ready to break.
A big smile appeared on his lips.
Goren hugging Eames and Jamie on the ground, and in front of the entire crime scene.
The little family was finally together.
Well, speaking of family...
He wasn't one.
But he knew that all it took was one word from Goren to make it one.
But how could he blame him for holding them close.
After what they had just been through...
The fear of losing their sons.
Thinking at Jamie...
Logan's face darkens.
When Goren found out who had dared to kidnap Jamie, Logan knew Goren's blood would run cold.
Logan had to interrogate the kidnapper.
And it had been hard for him.
For she had attacked Jamie.
And Logan had struggled to keep his cool.
He had preferred to let Barek take care of Jamie.
And he had done well.
Because the words that woman had dared to say...
My God...
It had taken all his willpower not to take it out on that damn woman.
- The three of them are so cute... A real little family.
At Barek's words, said with infinite tenderness, Logan came out of his thoughts, and discovered a Barek who had approached him in silence, and who was right beside him.
He nodded his head.
Yes.
They were cute, all three of them.
He felt a violent rage rise in him, and he clenched his fists with all his strength, to the point of having his phalanges.
And to think that someone had wanted to break this happiness.
How could someone do that.
To attack this child.
Destroying in the same time three beings.
It was necessary to be a monster.
And this woman was a monster.
How could it not be otherwise...
When you know the past of the woman in question.
- We'll have to find a solution for these three.
Deakins had just approached them, pronouncing his words, hands on the back of the neck, a big smile on his lips.
- I'm counting on you two...
Deakins turned away, and headed for his office.
Logan turned to Barek, and they both smiled at each other.
Yes...
They were going to take care of Goren and Eames.
And Barek already had his solution.
