A/N: Thank you to everyone who have written reviews and thank you to everyone who has been reading my fanfic so far! I really appreciate it. Here is chapter 4, I hope you all enjoy it. I do not own Leverage.

''Wait! What?''

''Is this for real?''

''Sophie doesn't have any children!''

''How did this happen?''

''Is she really your daughter?''

''What is going on?''

''You do have Sophie's eyes. Did you steel them?''

''Parker! Hardison! Shut up!''

''Don't tell me to shut up man!''

''Oh I'm gonna tell you to shut up or I can just make you.''

''Oh really?''

Audrey just stood there watching the two younger men argue. She was also trying to move away from the blonde woman who would come close and look at her intently. She noticed the older man in the corner hasn't taken his eyes off her mother, Sophie since she arrived. Sophie however would look at anything but the older man. Sophie just stood there trying to figure out what to do or what to say. Finally the older man spoke but he did not take his eyes off of Sophie.

''Eliot! Hardison!''

Then the two men stopped their argument and turned to look at the older man. The older man still wouldn't take his eyes off of Sophie.

''Eliot, Parker and Hardison. We are leaving. We will give Sophie and Audrey some time.''

They all started to head towards the door when Sophie finally spoke. ''Nate…. Can you please stay?''

Sophie finally made contact with the older man, Nate and it was almost as if they were having a conversation with their eyes. Nate nodded. Eliot gave them both a look and then ushered Parker and Hardison out the door.

Sophie broke eye contact with Nate and approached Audrey.

''Would you like to sit down? Can I get you anything? You must have a million questions!''

''No, I don't want anything. I am fine.''

Sophie and Audrey took a seat on the couch while Nate set on the chair on the side.

Audrey had a million of questions but at the moment none of them came to her. She looked at Sophie, her mother. And she did have her eyes but she most certainly didn't steal them. How could anyone steal someone else's eyes anyway?

''Who were those people? Who is he?'' Audrey asked gesturing towards Nate.

''Well, the man who answered the door with the long hair is Eliot. The blonde hair woman is named Parker and the younger man is Hardison. And this is Nate.'' Sophie said as she looked into Nate's eyes.

''Is he your husband?''

Sophie looked at her daughter. ''No… No, Nate is not my husband…. So what did Laura…your mother tell you?''

''She told me that she really wasn't my mother but you were. She knew I had a picture of you. She said that my father told me that she took off and that you didn't want anything to do with me and that you didn't want to be a mother. She said that she didn't know that wasn't true. She said that you thought I was dead.''

''Yes… When you were six months old I went to go visit a friend when I returned… there were fire trucks and police cars everywhere… I stopped my car and I ran. At first they wouldn't let me through then your father told them who I was so they let me pass. The look… the look in your father's eyes. I will never forget that look. I asked where you were. He looked away from me and wouldn't look me in the eye. I had this really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I asked again where you were, I started screaming at him. Then finally he told me he tried to get to you but the fire was too strong, he said he really tried. He told me that he was so sorry…. I never… I never felt that much pain before. I thought I was going to die right then and there. I could no longer face your father or see that place again. I never looked back….. I never forgot about you, I would think about you all the time. I loved you since the moment I knew you were growing inside of me. I wanted you so much, I wanted to be your mother more than anything. I have never stopped loving you or wanting to see your beautiful face one time. I would have given anything or done anything to make that happen. And now here you are right in front of me, as beautiful as ever. A part of died when I thought you were dead and the moment I saw you and knew you were my daughter that part came back alive. I love you Audrey and I am so sorry for everything. I should have known deep down that you were still alive and I would have never stopped looking for you.''

Audrey didn't know what to say. She could see all the pain and regret in her mother's eyes. She could also see the love. She knew her mother meant every word. Audrey knew that what happened wasn't her fault. But she also couldn't help to feel a little anger towards, she didn't know how she should feel or what she should say. She did know she was very upset with her father was causing all this. Why would he lie like this? Why would he tell her own mother that she was dead? She was confused. This was just too much all at once. Audrey then looked at Nate who was looking at her mother intently with sadness and familiarity. Like he knew what she is going through, like he could feel what she was feeling. It was clear that the man cared deeply for her mother, he loved her. She thought perhaps her mother felt the same about him, after all she did ask him to stay, she wanted him there, for him to hear what she would say to her. Then she looked back at her mother.

''So… what happens now?''

''Well… what do you want to happen?''

''I don't know. This is just so much at once. I don't know what to do or what to say!''

''Perhaps we should take it one day at a time. I know I would like to get to know you. We have a lot of time to make up for. If that is what you want as well.''

''I don't know. I think I would like to get to know you. I just would like some time to process all of this.''

''Of course. This is a lot for you to take in, for anyone to take in. I will give you all the time that you need. I will be here when you are ready.''

''Thank you. I think it is time that I go. Is there a number or somewhere I could reach you.''

''I plan on staying in Conord a few more days but I will give you a number where you can reach me and I will give you an addresses at where you can reach me.'' Sophie got a pen and piece of paper and wrote down the information and handed it to Audrey.

''Thank you.''

''You're welcome… Audrey before you leave… may I give you a hug?''

''Okay.'' Sophie walked towards Audrey and embraced her, it took Audrey a few moments to hug her back but when she finally did Sophie couldn't help the tears that feel from her eyes. It was like the first moment Sophie held her daughter in her arms. Sophie knew right then and there that she had her daughter back and nothing would ever take her away again. Nate stood there and took in the sight before him. He could see an automatic change in Sophie, he knew she would not let her daughter go. The hidden sadness that he always wonder about was now gone. He soon felt his own tears fall from his eyes.

Audrey and Sophie were still in an embraced when the door flew open and in stormed a very upset Jack Walker followed by his frantic wife Laura.
