"That's you isn't it?" Nate asked

The little girl just smiled back at him and suddenly Nate saw how that when she smiled she looked just like Sophie. Except for the eyes, her blue eyes resembled his so much that he couldn't believe he hadn't figured this out before now.

"You look just like her" Nate said

"Except for my eyes" the little girl said "mommy always says my eyes look just like daddies"

"How is this possible?" Nate asks "how can you be here talking to me now?"

"I can't explain everything to you" she answered "there is still more video to see and we are running out of time"

"At least tell me what your name is" Nate said

The little girl just smiled again and pointed a finger back up at the screen. Nate turned his attention back to the screen to see him and Sophie in the hospital room with the baby, the whole team there with them.

"She's beautiful guys" Parker gushed "what is her name?"

"Lillian Parker Ford" Sophie answered, her eyes never leaving the baby in her arms

"Really?" Parker asked "why would you give her my name?"

"You guys were all so great during the whole pregnancy" Nate answered "and Parker you were so excited, we just wanted her to have a piece of you"

"Wow" Parker said "Thanks so much guys"

"Of course" Sophie said "would you like to hold her?"

"Yes" Parker answered

"Me too so you better hurry up" Elliot said, staring at the baby in awe

"Yeah I want a turn too" Hardison said

Nate watched as the whole team took turns holding Lillian, all of them looking at her with the same look of love on their face. He knew that this baby would always be safe, that the team wouldn't let anything happen to her. The screen changed and showed Nate and Sophie bringing the baby home from the hospital, the team waiting at the apartment to greet them. As Nate watched he saw Lillian grow from a newborn to a one year old, he watched as the team celebrated her first birthday. Hardison was filming the party, Parker had made everyone put on party hats, and Eliot had made a cake that Lillian was smashing with her hands. Nate saw the screen change to show him and Sophie teaching Lillian how to walk, Sophie and Parker shopping with Lillian, Nate playing with Lillian. The next thing he knew he and Sophie were taking Lillian for her first day of kindergarten, Lillian with pigtails in her hair clutching her lunch box in one hand and Sophie's hand in the other. He watched as him and Sophie each hugged her and then as she took a deep breath and walked into the classroom.

"I didn't realize how hard this would be" Sophie said, wiping the tears that were threatening to fall

"I know sweetie" Nate said "but look she is going to be fine"

"I know" Sophie said "we should go; the books all say to leave right away"

The next scene that showed on the screen was one of Lillian and Nate at the park, Lillian is playing with a little boy. All of a sudden Lillian and the little boy are fighting with each other, and then he pushes Lillian the ground. Nate watches himself jump up at the sound of Lillian crying, he runs over to her and scoops her up, hugging her close to him as she cries into his shirt.

"What happened sweetheart?" Nate asks

"That mean boy pushed me down" Lillian says still crying

"Are you okay?" Nate asks his eyes scanning her body for any cuts "what hurts?"

"My arm" Lillian answers

"Let me see" Nate says, holding her arm in his hand, spotting a small scrape on her elbow "let's go home and get you a band aid okay"

"Okay daddy" Lillian answered, holding onto his hand as they walked out of the park together

As Nate watched himself with Lillian, heard her call him daddy, he felt this strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't explain it, but he liked the way it felt. It was funny that he had been running away from this life with Sophie for so long and in actuality he really wanted it.

"So what do you think?" Lillian asked, looking at him with that smile that so resembled Sophie's "if you still don't want this life than all you have to do is keep pushing Sophie away, she will eventually end up turning to Eliot"

"No" Nate said "I want this life, I want it more than I ever realized"

"Really?" Lillian asked "what made you change your mind?"

"Watching you grow up on this screen, seeing you right in front of me" Nate answered "I want to hold you when you are a baby and watch you grow up in person"

"Well then you know what you have to do" Lillian said

"Yes" Nate said "I will let them break me out of prison, and I will stop pushing Sophie away"

"Good" Lillian said "well it's time for me to go"

"Wait" Nate yelled "don't go yet, show me more of our life"

"I have to go" Lillian insisted "you finally understand why I came, but don't worry you will see me again someday, bye daddy"

Before Nate could say anything else, Lillian had disappeared almost as if she had never even been there. Nate looked around and saw that he was still sitting in the forest but that the big screen was no longer there. All of a sudden, Nate realized he was no longer in the forest, but back in his prison cell sitting on his bed.

"Wow" Nate said out loud to himself "It was only a dream"

Nate put his head in his hands, trying to wake himself up more, and when his gaze fell to the floor he noticed a lily on the ground. Nate felt his breath catch for a moment as he sat staring at the lily, and somehow he knew that it hadn't only been a dream. Even though everything he had ever knew told him that this should be impossible, he knew that it had really happened and that he had to do everything he could to make sure he could get that life with Sophie and Lillian. Making up his mind, Nate reached into his pocked at pulled out the sausage that Sophie had given him. Digging through it until he found the com, Nate then put it into his ear.

"Guys" Nate said somehow knowing that even given the late hour, someone would be listening for him "I am ready for you to get me out of here"
