Aww man, despite loving the episode Dead drop big time, I hate the fact that they soooo spoil my story. Though I loved the very very short moments between Alex and Birkhoff…they go ahead and make her kiss Sean…or him kiss her if you want to be exact. Don't get me wrong I do not hate the couple, but I would have loved it if I could stick with the show for most of the story…well lets just make it work (and maybe swap a few characters in the scenes (A) ).

It had been a couple of weeks after the miscarriage and things seemed to turn up for the better. The news of Michael and Nikita had been met with a flurry of congrats and hugs. Unfortunately things soon turned for the worst with Sean getting shot, Percy building a bomb and a high profile CIA agent with ties to Division. It was terribly sweet though to watch Ryan fuss over Sean. It was very obvious what they wanted, or better yet who they wanted, and Birkhoff had no trouble pointing it out to Ryan. Multiple times.

Despite his reservations on the Navy Seal he was clearly no pushover and Birkhoff could respect that. Wanting to fight while still wounded and shirtless; well that said a lot about the mans character. Thankfully they all made it out alive, but he was seriously getting sick of having to blow up his houses. He had been rather fond of the last one. Now his money pile was so depleted and the team growing he was death serious about Alex paying for the new one. He wasn't planning to sleep in a bunk bed without Alex for the rest of the time, despite the very nice offer from Ryan to let them stay there.

"What about this place?" Alex questioned as she pointed to one of the folders on the table.

"No, too much open ground, we'd be sitting ducks there." Michael commented pushing it to the "no" pile.

"This one is surrounded by forests and swamps." Ryan said handing them a different one.

"And also way too far from the city." Nikita dismissed the file immediately.

"How about this place?" Sean commented, it was nearly perfect when it came to the lay out. "It's too small for all of us to stay at." Michael answered, dropping another one on the pile.

"Hey guys, I think I found it." Birkhoff commented from the computer where he had been searching for proper venues.

"It could work." Alex kissed his cheek as a reward. "How much is it?"

"About two and a half million."

"How do we proceed." She sat down on his lap while he pulled up the right paperwork.

"Wait a second you guys just spent a couple of million just like that….on a house?" Ryan exclaimed.

"Not just a house, it's a mansion which has everything we need." Alex commented, feeling slightly insulted.

"Don't pay attention to Mr and Mrs Loaded here. They are both filthy rich." Michael joked earning a punch from Alex.

"I would have been a lot richer if you guys hadn't decided to blow up my twenty million." Birkhoff joked.

"What you haven't stolen it yet from some unsuspecting bank?" Michael shot back.

"I may have taken some money back…."

"BIRKHOFF!" His girlfriend looked at him wide eyed.

"Not from the good guys Alex." He shushed her. "Lets just say there is a drug lord out there with an empty bank account."

"It's fine then." She kissed him on the mouth.

"To use your own words Nerd: Get a room." Michael grumbled earning himself a hit from Nikita.

"The money offer is put in, but I doubt they will not sell it. We offered a little over the asking price." Said nerd told them as the send button was pressed.

"All that money for a house….unbelievable." Sean muttered. He had a senator for a mother so he knew the expenses of living the high life, but he had never been one to spend much money.

"Hey, not just a house dude. This baby has got a swimming pool and a gym in the basement, enough rooms for all of us, a tennis court, surrounded by woods, a shooting range a large kitchen and living room. Not to mention the high tech security system. We need the space if you want to survive this war." Birkhoff commented, feeling slightly annoyed with the whining they were getting for using their money for the team.

"Why, you think Division will find us sooner because we have smaller house than this monster?" Sean retorted.

"No, but I doubt you would survive long in a small house with two hormonal females." Sean had no comeback to that.

"Come on you guys, we have a lot more stuff to get considering most things got blown up. We really shouldn't make a habit out of this." Nikita muttered as she pulled up a list of things they needed to order.

Alex was spacing out again. Ever since she had lost the baby she had moments where she would space out entirely. Whenever she came back from wherever her mind went she looked as if she could break into a million pieces. The group had pretty much scattered after they had gotten the confirmation about the house. She had been reading on the couch one moment and the next she wasn't even really seeing the book anymore. Birkhoff was worried about her. He knew she had every right to be upset about it, but he just wished she would talk to him. Tell him where she went every time her eyes went blank. She was back again with that teary look he hated seeing on her face.

"Everything alright Sunshine?" he sat down next to her, pulling her against him.

"I'm fine Seymour…I just can't help it. Whenever I read something or see something I end up thinking about what it would have been like if it…" She didn't have to finish the sentence. He had occasionally wondered as well what it would be like if Alex hadn't lost it. How she would look with a round belly, glowing with pregnancy. If he would be a good father. At Division he never imagined something resembling a normal life as that wasn't in the stars for him there. Once he left Division he imagined what it would be like having a life free of anyone who he had to answer to. Yet as he sat with Alex on the couch, her steady breathing tickling his chin and several other people he could actually call friends around, he didn't want anything else. He wanted her is his life and call him a romantic sap but he wanted her to be the mother of his children. "Why don't we find out once Division is finished?"

"What are you saying….?" She raised her head from his shoulder to look him in the eye.

"I'm saying that once this fight is over and we can start a, relatively, normal life that we should try and see how a child of us would look…..you know have one…" he was rambling now.

"You want to have a child out of wedlock?" She was actually teasing him, with such a serious conversation. He could do the same if that was what she wanted.

"Well I already said yes to a lifelong commitment of children, we could get married….if you really wanted too…" She kissed him to shut him up.

"Yes to both questions Seymour." She smiled at him. "This must be one of the worst proposals ever." She murmured.

"Now wait a minute…" She cut him off before he could start to protest "And I wouldn't want it any other way."

AN sorry guys I am a bit well blocked on how to continue but I am sure I'll find something. I hope you like it at least :D
