A/N: Thanks for the reviews! Here is the next chapter, enjoy! I do not own Leverage.

''Nate…do you think it's going well? Do you think Audrey is happy here?''

Nate turned to look at Sophie and he couldn't help but to smile at the woman in front of him. He had never seen Sophie liked this before, unsure of herself. But she was acting like a typical parent, always wondering if they are doing right by their child or not. Nate knew how much Sophie loved her daughter and he knew that she was doing the best she could. He also thought that Audrey did enjoy being there with the team and more importantly being there with her mother.

''Yes Sophie I think it's going well. And yes I do think Audrey is happy here, she is always smiling and I have noticed that you are happier as well. Soph you are a wonderful mother and Audrey know how much you love her and that's what matters most.''

Sophie became teary eyes by Nate's words. She didn't how to respond, so she just gave him one of the brightness smiles she has ever given him.

''Mum, have you seen my bracelet? I have been looking everywhere for it.''

''No, I haven't. Nate, have you seen it?''

''No….'' But Nate and an idea on where it could be or more like he had an idea on who had it.

Sophie and Audrey began looking around the headquarters looking for Audrey's bracelet while Nate went to see if his suspensions were right.

''Parker…. Did you take something that didn't belong to you? Do you have Audrey's bracelet?''

''Yes… but I only took it because I wanted to see how much it was worth. You will never guess how much this thing is worth!''

''Parker. We talked about this. You shouldn't have taken Audrey's bracelet without asking her first….'' Sophie and Audrey then joined Nate and Parker.

''Hey, there's my bracelet. You found it! Where was it? Thank you so much for finding it. You have no idea how much this bracelet means to me.''

Sophie looked at Parker then at Nate. She knew Parker took the bracelet from her daughter and she would make sure Parker never took anything from her daughter again by giving a Parker a talking to but she didn't want her daughter to become aware that Parker took her bracelet.

''Yes, Parker. Thanks for finding it.''

Parker was confused, Sophie had to know that she has stolen the bracelet but then she saw the look Sophie were giving her and she knew not to say anything.

''Oh you're welcome.''

Audrey not really paying much attention to the others around her, she kept trying to put her bracelet back on her wrist.

''It's just that this used to be my great-grandmother's bracelet and then she passed it down to my grandmother then my grandmother passed it down to my mother and on my thirteen birthday my mom passed it down to me… ah! I can't seem to get this to fasten.''

Sophie walked up to her daughter to help her with my bracelet. ''Here, I'll help you.''

''Thank you mum.''

Sophie couldn't help but to smile after hearing her daughter say that word, mum.

''My pleasure.''

Audrey returned her mother's smile then she left the room. Sophie then gave Parker a speech and made her promise to never take her daughters stuff again. Parker the huffed and left the room.

''Nate…''

''Sophie everything is fine. It's Parker, she knows not to do it again.''

Sophie looked into Nate's eyes and then calmed down a bit and then something hit her.

''Oh my god, Audrey's birthday! Its tomorrow! I can't believe I forgot! I never forget her birthday! What are we going to do? Do you think we should throw her birthday party?I need to get her a gift… What should I get her?''

Nate smiled at the hysterical woman in front of him and couldn't help to smile. He also liked the fact that she said we, it made it seem like they were in this together and in many ways they were and the fact that Sophie knew that.

''Soph, everything is already take care of. You didn't forget about Audrey's birthday, you have mentioned it a few times before. So the team and I have been planning a party for Audrey. And as for the gift, that is taken care of as well. Audrey will really love what you got her.''

Sophie was speechless once again and this was rare thing for her. She couldn't believe all the work that Nate has gone through for her daughter and for her. Sophie was grateful and she would be sure to show Nate just how much.

''Thank you… wow! I can't believe you did all that. Why didn't you tell me? I would have helped. And what did you get Audrey for her birthday?''

''You're welcome. It was no problem at all. I promised you I would be there for you and I will keep that promise. We are in this together. Plus I had help. I know you would have helped but I wanted to this for Audrey and for you. And for the gift that you got Audrey for her birthday, Eliot and Hardison should be here any moment with the gift.''

Sophie was about to say something back but Nate stopped her and escorted her into the main room where Audrey and Parker were. Then the door opened in came a young woman the same age as Audrey followed by Eliot and Hardison who were carrying the her luggage. Audrey's face lit up at the sight of the young woman and automatically went to embrace her.

''Bella! But how? I am so happy to see you! I have missed you girl!''

''Rey rey! I have missed you too! Your mother sent for me, she said that you would love it for me to be here to celebrate your birthday!''

''What?... My birthday… oh my gosh I totally forgot…'' Audrey then went to embrace her mother.

''Thank you mum! It means so much to me to have her here.''

''I am so glad that your friend is here to help celebrate your birthday and to see how happy you are right now, but…'' Sophie couldn't lie to her daughter and take credit for something Nate did and Nate knew what Sophie was about to do so he went up to Sophie and whispered something into her ear and put his arm around her.

''But you should also thank Nate as well, he helped.''

Audrey then smiled at Nate and went up to him and gave him a hug. Sophie noticed the way Nate's eyes lit up when her daughter hugged him.

…..

The next day Audrey couldn't stop smiling and neither could Sophie. This was the first birthday Sophie got too spent with her daughter and she was planning on being there for more birthdays to come. Audrey was very happy to be there with her mother, the other members of the team and her best friend she just couldn't help but to miss her other mother. This was the first birthday that she didn't celebrate with her but she has spoken to her mother earlier that day and she thought it was best not to be there to give Audrey time with her mother and they can make up the next time they saw each other. So Audrey enjoyed her day with the people around her. They had a delicious dinner made by Eliot followed by a yummy red velvet cake, Audrey's favorite. They all sang happy birthday and wore party hats, even Nate. Audrey had to say she received the most interesting gifts that birthday but she still liked and appreciated them nonetheless. This happened to be one of her best birthdays ever, it was certainly the one where she was the happiest.
