Alicia's head dropped as tears ran down her face. Patricia adjusted how Emily and Elle were sitting before sitting them up and raising Emily's shirt. Alicia felt Luca untie both her feet and start working on her hands. She grabbed his finger and he stopped moving to look at her. Alicia mouthed, 'Get down when I count to three.' Luca nodded his head in understanding. Alicia used her fingers to count to three. Luca ran off and she blitzed Patricia from behind and dragged her to the floor. Patricia elbowed her in the face but that didn't stop her from going for the knife. Alicia dragged Patricia back by leg; the force sent the two of them backwards as the knife flew to the other side of the room. The knife landed near Luca and he sat frozen with fear. Patricia grabbed him and he bit her hand. Alicia caught her arm in midair before she could hit Luca. "Luca run! Run!" Luca scrambled to his feet and ran near the door. He couldn't turn the knob and he turned around to untie Emily and Elle. Not knowing that they were drugged, Luca was confused as to why they couldn't move. Alicia and Patricia's struggled continued as they both threw blows at one another. "Mommy come on. We have to help Licia. Mommy come on!" Luca's tugs on Emily were futile but he tried anyways. He looked over at the bucket near a stool. He tried to pick the bucket up, but it was heavy and smelly. He tipped the stool over, which knocked over the bucket. Luca didn't know that he'd knocked over turpentine and that it was rapidly covering the entire floor. He dragged the stool to the door and tried to use it to undue the lock.
Patricia got the upper hand on Alicia and continued to punch her at every available chance. Alicia broke a leg free from her protective hold and kicked Patricia in the stomach just as the woman landed a blow to her mouth. Alicia doubled over and wiped the back of her hand over her bleeding mouth. The force of her kick made Patricia fall back and the gun at the base of her spine went slid across the floor. Luca heard it and climbed off the stool and grabbed it. He stood in front of the door fiddling over the gun. By now, Alicia had climbed on top of Patricia and started to choke her. Luca pulled the trigger, missing both women by a country mile, and the kickback of the gun caused him to lose his balance against the door. Patricia kicked and stomped Alicia in the ribs until she stopped fighting back and stalked her way over to Luca. The bullet hit some of the turpentine and caused the entire trail to go ablaze. Elle and Emily struggled against their paralytics and Luca kept running from Patricia. He was trapped in a corner as she kept walked towards him. "You were doing so good until you started acting like your sister. I wasn't going to hurt you but now I have to." Luca took his last chance and crawled out of the corner. He was so scared that he trapped himself in the middle of the fire. He started to cry and choke on the smoke and fumes coming from the fire surrounding him. Alicia grabbed the stool and popped Patricia behind the knee and in the back until she hit the ground and cried in agony. Alicia pulled herself up and rushed across the room to pick up Luca before he got burned. She pulled that rope tied around Emily and Elle's ankles before their feet burned. She sat them both up and look at the mother with watery eyes. Emily's eyes went wide and Luca screamed right before Alicia felt pain shooting through her shoulder. She saw the knife sticking out of her shoulder. The pain was unbearable but she refused to let Patricia win. Patricia yanked her by the hair and Alicia scrambled for the gun. The sound of the gun seemed to echo in the midst of everything happening. Patricia dropped to the ground with a thud and Alicia stood frozen with Patricia's warm blood sticking to her body. Alicia snapped out if it and pulled herself up and unlatched the door. She dropped down as the fire whooshed right above them, thirsty for the newly found oxygen. "Luca listen to me. Run and don't look back. You remember how you and Daddy hide from me and Mom? I need you to run as far as you can and when you can't run anymore, I want you to find the best hiding spot you can and stay there until I get you." Luca took off and Alicia braced herself against the doorframe as she pulled the knife free from her shoulder. She ignored the pain and did her best to hoist Emily and Elle's arms around her shoulders. She thought her knees would buckle under their weight but she needed to get the three of them out of there before they all burned to death. Every step was trying but Alicia kept going.
Luca slipped on a rock and skinned his knee but he got back up and kept running. He saw lights and a road but remembered that Alicia told him to hide. He heard a loud boom and turned around to see the small building explode. Luca cried loudly before he took off running. Luca wasn't paying attention and nearly got hit by a firetruck before someone grabbed him. "Luca. Luca are you okay? Where's your mom and your sister?" Rossi asked frantically as he held the crying little boy. Luca pointed to the thick black smoke and flames leaping on everything within reach. Rossi held him close as he cried. The rest of both combined teams rushed after the firemen to hopefully find the three females alive. Alicia had just gotten them down a few steps from the building before it exploded. Alicia took the brunt of the fall to prevent Emily from falling on her belly. Alicia groaned under the weight of the two women. She faded in and out of consciousness after hitting her head. When Alicia forced her eyes open, she saw Beth standing over her while paramedics tended to Emily and Elle. "Aunt B" Alicia croaked out with tears flowing. Beth kissed the top of her head, "Yes sweetie. It's me." "Help mom. She tried-" "It's okay sweetie. Let the paramedics help you." Alicia let the paramedics put an oxygen mask on her and strap her to the backboard. At the hospital, Luca was diagnosed with mild smoke inhalation, Elle was given medication to rid her system of the paralytic, Alicia had surgery to repair the damage done to her shoulder and she also sustained a concussion. Reid knocked before coming into her hospital room; Alicia looked up and waved him in with her good arm. "Your nurse said that you asked for me?" Reid asked unsure of her reasoning. "Where's my dad?" "He's in the ICU. The stabbing did a lot of damage but he survived the surgery." "My mom?" "Emily is in the maternity wing. The doctors want to keep an eye on her for a little while." "Luca?" "He's fine. I think Cooper went and got him some ice cream." "How did you guys know where we were?" "A neighbor called in a fire and then another one called in gunshots."
"Can you do me a favor Dr. Reid?" "Sure. What can I do?" "Gabby brought my bag that I left in her car. It's the orange one in the corner. Can you open it and grab the thin black box towards the back?" Reid did as he was asked and brought the box over to Alicia. "Open it. It was a gift to all of you. The individual ones are back at our house. My mom wasn't blocking you guys out. I was just used to it being us and I was embarrassed about where I came from. She's been planning this surprise party to tell all of you guys about us." Reid looked at the medium-sized frame. His eyes watered when he saw Emily in her gorgeous wedding dress as she stood next to Mick. The next picture was of Alicia and Luca holding up their hands that were covered in green. The last picture, that was directly in the center, was Emily's ultrasound with the name Spencer Derek Prentiss-Rawson. "She just found out last week that she was having a boy. Dad doesn't even know that she already picked out a name." "She's naming him after me?" "And Morgan. All of you are our family too."
