One year after that.
By this point Nick and Dana had put everything behind them. She finally accepted the fact that her child is gone, and is most likely that they will never see her again. It seemed like just another day. Alexa was at Lenore's house, Lerenzo knew that Nick is not a priest and that he is married.Everything was fairly close to perfect.

Nick walked into Dana's office, she looked tired and stressed. "Hey babe." he said

"Hi." she directed no attention to him.

"What are you doing. I have this patient, she just got back from South Africa. I think she got some African sickness. "

"So you've been online all day, trying to fit her sypthoms with the sypthoms of diseases that exsist only in South Africa?"

"Yeah."

"See... I can read you like an open book." He smiled, she recieved a text message requesting her in the ER.

"They need me in the ER." she whined

"My break is over, we can walk over there togther." he offered. They arrived at the ER.

"Curtain 4, Dr. Stowe. Spider Bite, left arm." a nurse said. Dana entered the triage. On the exam table was a six year old girl
and her mother.

"Where's Lu?" the mother asked

"She's on her honeymoon. I'm Dr. Stowe, I'm covering for her. I can take care of your daughter."

"I don't doubt that, but I need Lu." she said, she knew Dana and had reasons for prefering Lu.

"Right now, I'm the closest you'll get to Lu."

"Fine." the mother, Jane gave in. "Her left arm is swollen, something bit her."

"I'll run a blood test and that'll tell me if it's infected. As for the swelling, I can give her a shot, it'll be gone by tommarow."

"Okay." Jane agreed, when Nick walked in.

"You said you need me? " he asked

"Yeah, something bite. You took classes on insect bites, I thought your diagnosis would be more punctual." she said, Nick glanced at the bite.

"Scorpion, run a blood test ASAP. If it's infected give her Subtizone." he dictated, he handed her a needle from the cabinet. She brushed her hair away from eyes.

"I know you from somewhere." the little girl said. "I have a picture of you."

"That's impossible." Jane exclaimed, not wanting Dana to realize what's happening.

"It isn't." she took the picture out of her pocket and handed it to Dana. "I take it everywhere with me."

"That's you." Nick said while looking at the picture in his wife's hand. "And that's ... " he stopped

"Jessica." Dana finished for him in a whisper. "Where did you get this?" she asked

"I found it in my pocket."

"Dana... I need to talk to you. Really importanat. Forgot to tell you earlier." he grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the triage.

"What?" she asked

"I know what your thinking, and stop! You've finally put it in the past, don't bring it back up."

"Nick... I didn't say anything."

"Good! Don't."

"Can I get back to my patient now?"

"Yes, you can. Your patient, not your daughter."

"What if she is are daughter, you wanna let her go just like that."

"Dana?!" he yelled

"What! Think about it. She said she knows me, she has a picture of us. The chances are really good."

"Fine! Do a DNA test when you draw blood.Don't tell the mother that your going to."

"Okay..." she said about to step back inside, he pulled her back

"Don't get your hopes too high."
2 hours later. Nick was with a patient. Dana approached him a envelope in her hand.

"I need you." she said and pulled him aside. "I got the results for the blood test."

"And?" he asked, she opened the envelope and scanned through the results. "And? " Nick repeated

"It matchs with our DNA." she paused "That's Jessica, Nick."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive." she stated calmly, "What do we do?"

"Call that guy that was on her case. Tell him. Make sure someone will be here ASAP." he commanded
30 minutes later. Nick, Dana and Detective Shepard entered the traige.

"Are you Jessica's mother, mam?" the detective asked

"Yeah."

"Can we speak with you outside?"

"Yeah." she said and fallowed them out.

"Jane Johnson you're under arrest for participation in the Black market." Shpered cuffed her and took her away while reading her rights to her. Nick looked at Dana. And they walked into the traige togther.

"Where's my mother?" Jess asked

"She... Jessica we have to tell you something." Nick stated

"What?"

"She wasen't your mother. Dana is your real mother. And I'm your real father." he explained

"When you were three you were kidnapped from your gradmother's house. We had reported you missing and the police search for you non-stop, for almost a year. They couldn't find you." Dana contiued

"They thought we should close the case. Forget you and have another kid to take your place. Dana and I refused. We couldn't. And now we accedently come accross you."

"Why do you expect me to beleive that?" Jessica asked

"I ran a DNA test. Compared your DNA with ours, and they matched. That means you're our child." Nick explained

"We know it's hard to accept. We're not going to rush you into doing so. We just want you to know the truth."

"No! I was told the you didn't want me! You wanted to get rid of me! Both of you hated me!"

"We didn't want to get rid of you. We didn't hate you. You're our daughter and we couldn't hate you." Nick rebelled

"Jessica, you have to try to understand the situation." Dana said calmly

"No! I don't want new parents. Especaily you of all people. You two are not my parents. You have never helped me with homework or tucked me in. You havn't tought me how to ride a bike or swim.You havn't killed the monsters in my closet. You've done nothing!"

"Really!? " Dana lost her pacients "But you did come our of me.We are responsible for your exsistance. We were there to see your first step and your first word. We did stay up all night with you while you were sick."

"Dana, what happen to calm?" Nick asked as he pulled her to the side. "Stop yelling. Stay calm. I doesn't matter what she thinks. She coming home with us tonight wether or not she wants to. We let her get away the first time and we're not doing it again!"
