AN: I know you guys are all mad at Stephanie or Lester or both but I hope this chapter smooths it over some. :-) Please review I want to know what you think an was right about this chapter. Ranger was not to happy with everyone being mad and his Brother and his babe.


Tammy's POV

I knew when Bobby called and said he needed my help what he needed. I knew if he was asking it was important because he knows how much it still hurts me and how much I hate talking about and re living that part of my life.

Tank had it set up for the company plane to bring me and Rod from our home office to the Trenton office. We packed our bags and the things our dogs would need and all five of us left for the air strip.

When we landed in Trenton Lester was with Bobby to pick us up. Lester told me a little more of what was going on and drove us to Bobby's house so we could drop off the dogs and our stuff before they called Tank to meet us at the heart of the Company's house.

Rangers POV

After being gone for a little over six months I finally got a call home and instead of making the usual call to my second in charge I called my brother.

After two rings Les picked up "Yo" I smiled "Ranger?"

"Yeah it's me" he sighed "how is Babe?"

He sighed again "Um…" Ok now I'm worried but before I got too far "she's doing better"

"Better?"

"Yeah she was pretty bad we had to call Tammy" I swallowed and he continued "I don't want to tell you this over the phone but you need to know…" he paused and took a couple deep breaths "were pregnant."

I blinked "Huh?"

"You know how you told me to go to her and take care of her when you called me after leaving her on your way to the plane"

"Yeah" boy did I remember I knew the only way I was going to follow my orders and get on that plane is to call my brother and give him my blessing to be with the woman that we have both loved for years. Before I left her apartment I told her that I knew she also loved Les she was shocked at first but then just shook her head. I told her that I would be ok with them moving on together.

"Ric?"

"Sorry" just remembering that morning so congrats make sure you keep her happy."

I heard him blow out a breath "you're not mad?"

"No, I told you both to move on and I meant it."

"Brother it's not just mine…their twin boys ones yours and one's mine."

What? How? Not possible?

"It's rare but since we both slept her a week apart"

"Wow" I smiled "just means I have two more reasons to fight through this shit and make it home." I paused and said "I probably won't be there for the births but I promise all of you I will do everything in my power to make it home to our family." Les did not say anything "Les that's what it is our family we will work it out and all will be fine"

"I f you say so" he sounded down then barley heard him mumble "wish the guys agreed with you" and I knew I needed to call Tank.

"I will be there as soon as I can I got to go but just know I am beyond happy to have a son and nephew to come home too" I smiled "love you"

"Thanks love you too"

Then we hung up and I called Tank "Yo, boss man"

"Yo" I paused "tell whoever is giving Les a hard time to knock it off and that is an order"

I heard him gulp "Right"

I growled "I gave them my blessing and told them to move on since I thought I was not going to come back"

"So you are…coming back?"

"I am going to do everything in my power to do that but I need to ask Ram, Flame, and Binky if they would be willing to come down and help me finish this."

He called them to his office and put it on speaker and I talked to the three giving them the chance to not come but they all said they were on their way. After they left the office I had put the phone on to the speaker system and gave the order to the whole lot of them at the Haywood office to lay off Les. Once I was back on the regular phone with Tank I told him to issue the order to the whole company than hung up.

I hated asking the guys to risk their lives just so I could come home but I knew we had a better chance with the work I already have done and with their specialties. Ram is the best sniper and sharp shooter the military has ever seen, Flame is an explosive and fire expert, Binky is a computer genus only one better is Hector.

Steph's POV

It's been three months since BLT brought in Tammy. She brought me out of the dark and helped me to see I still had some hope even if it was slim. Her story of her boyfriend getting murdered and dying in her arms while they was still in high school was so sad but it did help me to see I still have a chance of getting Carlos back.

After his confession of knowing how much Les and I loved each other surprised me at first but after I thought about it I just shook my head and smiled thinking 'of course he knows.' I was totally shocked when he told me to move on with Les because he was almost positive he was not coming back.

I was even more shocked about a half hour after Carlos left Lester came into my apartment and picked me up and sat me in his lap and held me till I cried myself to sleep. The next morning when I woke up laying on Lester's chest I clung to him for dear life.

He talked me into going to take a shower while he went and made breakfast since Ella brought food after I passed out last night. I swear that woman is a fairy god mom and I am going to be adopted officially.

While we ate Les told me about the conversation with his brother the morning before. I just smile and shook my head and kept eating and Les laughed "he has always known everything."

Yes I said Les was Rangers brother and it's true. Biologically they are cousins but when Les was twelve and disowned him because he was following in Rangers footsteps, and always getting into trouble, Ricardo and Maria adopted him.

"Beautiful" "Sweetheart?"

I blinked and looked to my side coming back to the here and now. Kneeling in front of me was Les and Bobby looking very concerned "What?"

"I have been calling you for almost ten minutes" Les said

"I been with him for the last five" Bobby said "Sweetheart are you ok?"

I nodded "I was just thinking of" I laid my hand on my ever expanding stomach "when we learned about them and how much Tammy has helped me."

They both smiled and nodded then Bobby said "I think it's time you take a break and go lay down." I nodded and Bobby looked between me and Les "take her down to my apartment" he smiled he has been the only guy that has been treating Les well since we found out about the babies "no one will bother you two there."

We thanked him and both headed to the elevator. Once we were on three in Bobby's apartment Les sighed and pulled me into his arms and kissed my head. When he pulled back he was smiling. Not something I have seen often lately. "What's up sexy?"

He chuckled "I talked to Ric today" I gasped and he smiled "has well" he paused "I told him" he looked at the floor "sorry I just can't keep things this big from him."

"Lester look at me" once his eyes were on me I smiled "I am not mad or upset he needed to know" I sighed "how bad was it?"

"Actually" he had the biggest smile on "he's happy and said he is going to do any and everything he can to get back to get back to 'our' family" he stressed the our and I was a little confused and he noticed and continued "he said when he gets home we will work it out and he's happy and excited to meet his son and nephew and we would all be one big family" he shrugged.

"Wow" I shook my head "I figured he would want to disown all of us…" I looked at my feet "I thought if he came back he would not want anything to do with any of us" I said while making a circle with my hand indicating the babies, him and myself.

I guess we will have to wait and see how it all works out.
