"I told you that I could give you this one day. You didn't believe me, did you?" Mick asked as he wrapped his hands around Emily's waist from behind. Emily relaxed in his embrace and smiled to herself. "Don't get cocky Rawson. I had to agree to all of this didn't I? Without me there would be no this." Emily said smugly as she folded her arms over her chest. Mick grabbed her hand and lifted it up higher. "I believe that this is the reason that you 'agreed to all of this'." he said while staring at the diamond ring on her finger. "Well, you know what they say. Diamonds are a girl's best friend." Emily said smiling. Mick just stared at her in adoration. After a while, Emily started to feel uncomfortable under his gaze and looked away for a moment. "Mick. Mick. Mick. Mick!"

Mick was startled awake and felt something wet drench his arm. He looked over and saw a bowl of cereal turned over on his arm as well as on the floor next to the couch he was sleeping on. Once he got all his bearings, Mick rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and sat up slowly. He looked up and saw Prophet holding a diaper bag with Kehlani in his other arm. "Emily's dad just dropped her off. I came by earlier to check on you and saw that your place was a wreck. I let you sleep and cleaned up a bit. I remember you saying that Lani was coming over but I doubt that her granddad would've dropped her off after seeing how dirty it was. I lied and told him that you were showering." Prophet stopped talking to take a much- needed breath of air. "Are you okay mate?" he probed. Mick ran a hand over his face once more before looking over at Prophet and reaching out for Kehlani. She reached for her dad and placed her head in the crook of his neck when she got in his arms. "No mate, I'm not okay. I don't know if I ever will be." Prophet pursed his lips and walked into the kitchen. Mick and Kehlani sat in silence. He knew that she could feel the tension and heartbreak between he and Emily. "I'm so sorry little one. Your mom and I aren't setting that good of an example for you. I will never ever stop loving you and neither will your mom. You are and will always be the most important person in our lives. Daddy loves you my little ladybug." Kehlani held her father tighter and he felt the tears hit his neck. He held her tighter as he blinked back his own tears.

Prophet tripped over Kehlani's rocking horse, causing Kehlani to giggle, and that gave Mick the distraction to cover his tears before his friend saw them. "Sorry for interrupting the moment. I managed to convince my brother to let me steal his kids for the rest of the day. I figured that you and I could play Mrs. Doubtfire" Prophet said with a grin. "Stealing kids?" Mick asked with an amused look. Prophet rolled his eyes, "Okay fine. Borrow against his wife's will with the intent of returning." Mick's boisterous laugh made Prophet happy. "Mrs. Doubtfire and not Daddy Day Care?" "You made me watch it; it's a good flick by the way. We aren't Daddy Day Care because they aren't my children." "Yeah okay. Lani you want to hang with us today?" Mick asked as he looked at the little girl staring at an old picture of the three of them. She shrugged her tiny shoulders but didn't say a word. Mick hung his head and Prophet clapped his hand against Mick's shoulder. "It'll be okay mate. We'll cheer her up" he said triumphantly as he started to walk backwards and tripped over a Slinky. Kehlani giggled once more, "Me nearly breaking my neck seems to keep her happy. We may have to go with that for the day. Anyways, how many toys does she need?" "She gets bored easily." "Well isn't that lovely. I'll probably break a bone today just trying to get her to smile." "You and me both buddy." The three of them left Mick's house and went off in hopes of an adventure.

Emily laid on her bed and drew her knees up to her chest. Silent tears made their way down her face. She rested her head on her stomach and immediately felt the absence. Emily felt like her life was getting more complicated by the second. First, she'd lost Mick; then, she'd gotten rid of something so precious. Her guilt was making her flashback to Rome and she hated that feeling. Emily felt like she was failing as a mother to her daughter. Emily never wanted Kehlani to grow up in a broken and dysfunctional home. Emily wished that she and Mick had done a better job of hiding their feelings. No one, let alone Kehlani, should openly feel the amount of tension between the two of them. Emily knew in her heart of hearts that she loved Mick with every fiber of her being, but loving him didn't exactly mean that it was the healthiest thing to do. She lied to him and betrayed his trust and Emily felt like there was no coming back from that. She felt like she desecrated the foundation of everything they worked towards. All she wanted was to be in love and have a father for her daughter; only one of those things worked out.

Emily got out of bed slowly and went downstairs. She'd moved her and Kehlani back into her old condo, which had the perfect view of Capitol Hill, and neglected to tell Mick. Emily felt that if she and Mick weren't together, then there was no reason for him to know that she'd moved out of her parents' place. Emily thought that the tension between her and Mick was bad…her parents were worse. They barely spoke and any conversation they had was obviously forced. Emily and her mother made up after 9 days of the silent treatment. Emily didn't understand how her mother could forgive her so fast but not her father. In the spirit of trying to set a better example for Kehlani, Emily chose to move out.

Once she got downstairs, she walked over to the couch and sat down. Days of lying in bed were driving her crazy. She turned on the television and stopped on Bridesmaids. The movie was predictable but Emily loved it anyways. She had a weakness for Melissa McCarthy and Vince Vaughn. She split her attention between the television and the manila folder on the edge of her table. She was currently waiting on her transfer to go through. Professionally, Emily was needed more in the States than in London. Despite her clandestine side mission, Clyde was impressed with how she elegantly handled the complicated case that involved nearly every police agency. He offered her the DC office and decided to have her trade places with another Interpol chief out of Singapore. She jumped at the chance mostly because she got even more time to spend with Kehlani because of the extremely flexible schedule and partly because she wasn't ready to face Mick's family yet. She didn't want to hear anything about her actions and her decisions in regards to Jeanine and Simon. She'd made her choice and she'd do it again. Not only for Jeanine but also because she gave numerous women in Arizona their life back as well as some closure. Emily just wanted to live her life and try to get over Mick as soon as possible.

Later that night, Emily was put a casserole in the oven and heard a knock on her front door. She went to it and sighed heavily as she saw the two persons on the other side of it. She opened the door and forced a smile, "Hey guys" she said with a nervous chuckle from their intense glare.

"When were you going to tell us about your latest doctor visit?"
