Lucas stood over his daughter's crib like bed, being too small for a bed and too large for a crib it was a bed with a fence around it basically. He reached out and ran a finger over her cheek. She was so soft like her mother, but her skin was pale like his had it not been so tanned from the jungle.

He stood watching her for a time, looking at his life with a new perspective. He had a family. A woman and child of his own. He would have to build his home stronger, maybe a larger tree house.

Lucas reached down and lifted his daughter carefully into his arms, turning towards the window and the dark night outside it.

He would have his daughter and wife together at home.

Maddy woke up and walked to the kitchen, grabbing some fruit and taking a bite. She looked around, things were unusually quiet and her daughter didn't wake her and Mark up this morning. She smiled and walked to her daughter's room, she was probably just sleeping late.

Maddy dropped her apple and screamed, waking Mark and the neighboring Commander.

Commander Nathaniel Taylor paced his office and cussed, heart racing as he looked at the side office play room, expecting to see his little Alicia there. His fiancée and second in command held her own child to her chest, not putting him down as she worked. Even Skye was in the office with her baby.

How could Lucas get in and out without him knowing, and with a child. His grandchild.

"I don't care what you have to do, I want her back!" He roared at his soldier's leaving the minimum amount of soldiers to guard the parameter.

"Commander," Jim and Josh walked into the office and demanded to be part of the search team. Mark walked in, stress clear on his face.

"Have any of you seen Maddy? I don't want her alone right now." The Commander nodded to the play room where Maddy was fretfully organizing things.

Mark walked in and watched his wife work, looking ten years older over night.

"I want everything to be clean when she gets back and Nat can play with her, even Zo and Leah and….and…." her breath hitched painfully. And the look she gave Mark shattered him into pieces.

He pulled her to him and let her sob into his shirt. "I would do anything to have my baby back."

"I'm going to find her, everyone is working to find her."

"But she out there with him," her voice cracked. "Why won't you let me out there to find her."

"Because I need you here safe," he said and hushed her with a quick kiss. "It's going to be alright."

Mark held her to him and cried too, one of the few times he allowed himself.

Lucas let the girl sit on his lap, "So if you're my real Daddy, how come Mommy is married to my fake Daddy?" the little girl asked innocently as she ate a pear. He petted her long black hair and smiled at her innocent brown eyes.

"You know you have your mother's eyes," She smiled at him as he continued, "and her hair. You are my little angel."

She giggled and hugged him, slipping off his lap and walking to the table. "Do you have transparent paper and colors?" she cocked her head and smiled, "Daddy."

He smiled and jumped up, grabbing his transparent paper and multicolored pens for her to draw. "Here you are baby girl."

She drew for a while, Lucas watching with wonderment, before she looked up with her big brown eyes, so like her mother's. "When will Mommy be here?"

"As soon as you take your nap, I'll go get her."

Maddy slid between the cars of the fence to Terra Nova, her baby was out there and she couldn't sit by and wait to hear the worst.

She walked a good ways before she heard someone crashing through the brush behind her, turning to see a Slasher instead.

Maddy ran for her life, turning every once in a while to shoot at it with Marks' spare gun.

She came to a cliff face and looked down, a smile lighting her lips, she jumped through the Mark sized hole and landed with a splash in the soft pool of water.

She watched the Slasher above her looked around and run off. Though it will be back soon.

She moved to get out of the water when someone's hands grabbed her from under her arms and pulled her out. "Thanks."

"I couldn't leave my wife in the water." The voice was not Mark's and it sent a chill down Maddy's spine, she turned and looked at Lucas with a calm face and cold eyes.

"Are you ready to go home?" he reached out again and took her hand, "Alicia's waiting for us."

"Good, I can't wait to see her and get back to the family life." It was only a half lie, a truth he couldn't be part of.
