Sorry for the long delay! I nearly forgot about this story until I was looking through my stories in general then remembered I had the chapter for this so sorry for the late post!
"Mr Silva?" Horatio called out gently, holding his gun up and entering Seventh Avenue with Anya, Ryan, Eric, Walter and Natalia behind him. They were searching for Moises Silva, the owner. Anya wore her disguise which consisted of a brown short bob wig and a black mini skirt to go with a hot pink blouse. Her gun was hidden; tucked into the back of her skirt, her top layered above it.
"Moises? I've brought business." Anya said. This was the plan. Horatio, Eric, Walter and Natalia went to find hiding places as Ryan slipped his gun into his pocket and acted natural.
They heard a low chuckle and then a sound of praise. "I never doubted you, Michelle." Moises Silva said, kissing her head, not noticing her distaste. "I am Mr. Silva. And you are, my good man?" he asked Ryan.
"Henry, Henry Collins." Ryan replied, holding his hand out. "Michelle tells me you're looking for a buyer." Ryan said smoothly. "After this place has been open for how long? Ten months?"
"Yes, but my family and I have decided to move on, as you would call it." The fat man said, lighting up his cigar. "I'll let you in on something, Mr. Collins." Moises said, taking a swig of the cigar and puffing smoke out. "There's unknown business going on out back which gives this place an even bigger load of cash." he said.
"What is that, Mr. Silva?" Ryan asked, putting his hands in his pockets of his slick grey suit.
"What do you think, young man?" Silva chuckled. "Prostitution." he whispered, winking. "That could give you big cash if you buy the place. I'll even give you the whores themselves. Michelle here is one of the good ones." Ryan looked at Anya who looked away, her eyes twitching in disgust.
"I bet she is." he mumbled. "But I don't think that would be appropriate business." Ryan said as Anya started advancing to behind Moises.
"What do you mean, Henry?" Moises asked confused, putting his cigar on the table for a minute.
"I mean," Ryan started, taking his hands out of his pockets and aiming his gun at Moises as Anya took her gun and aimed it at the back of Moises' head. "you're under arrest for the murders of Chloe Rhinestone and Laura Pentagon. And also the mistreatment of females and prostitution." Ryan said, as the rest of the team raised their guns and came out of their spots.
"You tricked me!" Moises yelled at Anya. "You're a cop!" he screamed as Eric cuffed him.
"Yes and a good one." Anya smirked, lowering her gun. "Take him away." Eric did as told and Horatio nodded in admiration.
"You did well, team. Especially Mr. Wolfe and Miss Fuller." he nodded. "We can finally say goodbye to Downtown." Horatio smiled, exiting the restaurant. Natalia went up to Ryan as the rest left.
"Well done." she smiled, kissing him. "You had us fooled." she winked, chuckling. Ryan grabbed her waist and kissed her.
"Hmm, maybe we should try a little bit of role-play, huh?" he asked, slyly. Natalia held a thoughtful gaze on him before grinning.
"Maybe." she mumbled, leaving his grip and walking out with a sway of her hips. Ryan just stared and chuckled, shaking his head.

Six Months Later
"She's so adorable!" Natalia cooed, holding Eric and Calleigh's baby daughter.
"She is, isn't she?" Horatio smiled, leaning against the doorway of Calleigh's hospital room.
"What is she called?" Anya asked. She was now part of the team, obviously co-working with Horatio.
Eric looked up at everyone and smiled. "We've decided to call her Annabella Rosanne-"
"Natanya Delko." Calleigh finished as Eric shook his head chuckling.
"You named her after me?" Natalia and Anya asked, cooing.
"Yeah. You're our good friends." Calleigh smiled.
"OK, when you guys have a son you better mush mine, H's and Walter's names together for him." Ryan warned.
"Oh yeah? What about when you and Nat have kids, huh?" Eric retorted.
"Hey!" Natalia laughed. "We are still engaged. We haven't even had our wedding yet. Let's do that before we start having children." Natalia smiled, kissing Ryan's cheek.
"Think about it," Walter started, nudging Ryan. "Ryaltio." he said beaming as Ryan nodded in excitement.
"Or, Waltryantio!" Ryan offered.
"Hey! You are not naming our future son any of those horrible names!" Calleigh yelled before setting everyone laughing.
Horatio just stood there, watching his new/old team get on laughing of the new arrival of their family. Smiling, he decided to leave to call a certain son named Kyle.
Anya watched him leave and smiled, thinking about her own children and the new work family she had made. They made her feel welcome and it was time to do something in return.
...
Couple of Weeks Later
"Thanks for inviting us!" Ryan said to Anya as she opened her front door for him and his fianceé to enter.
"No problem!" Anya shouted over the loud music, hugging him and Natalia. "Come meet my family!" she said, leading them to the backyard. Anya led the couple to three excited children, playing with sand and water. "This is Kayla, my youngest." Anya introduced as Ryan and Natalia greeted the child. Kayla gave them both high fives, before laughing and giggling.
"She's adorable!" Natalia smiled.
"Not as adorable as my baby!" Calleigh called out, hugging the couple.
"And this is Jennifer and Dallas." Anya finished, laughing at her friends.
"Hey there, kids!" Ryan grinned, high fiving them.
"Come meet my husband, you three." Anya said, dancing her way through to her husband, also 27 years old. "Matty?" she called. A young man with wavy brown hair turned to face her with a smile. "Meet my colleagues." Anya said, wrapping an arm around her husband's waist. "You met the rest but you didn't get to meet Cal because she was changing her baby's diaper and you didn't meet Ryan and Natalia because they'd just gotten here." she explained.
"Oh! Nice to meet you guys. I'm Matthew." he greeted, shaking their hands.
"Oh my!" Natalia and Calleigh joked.
"Hey! Hands off, he's mine!" Anya giggled. "Go get your own guys." she grinned as Ryan and Matthew laughed.
"Everyone?!" Horatio called out, clinking his glass. Everyone quieted down except from the children but they were not involved. "I just wanted to say what a success this year has been." he started, flinging an arm over his son's shoulders and rubbing them. "We've had some interesting cases." he said, as his 'old' team chuckled. "Involving twins." he said. "But we got through that and solved the case quite quickly. Anyway, I want to toast to the future. I want us successful in out jobs and our lives and I want to wish luck to Ryan and Natalia on their upcoming wedding plans and also to wish Calleigh and Eric success in their daughter's upbringing because once she's 18, she's out of that house quicker than you can call her your baby." Everyone chuckled. "I would know." he said, patting Kyle's shoulder. "So here's to the future!" Horatio announced, raising his glass.
"To the future!" Everyone chorused, raising their glasses happily.
