Five years later

Nate looked around his apartment, taking advantage of the fact that he was alone for once to think. It had been five years since he had escaped from prison, and since the dream. So much had happened in those five years, he and Sophie were married now and Parker and Hardison were engaged. It wasn't like Nate and Sophie had gotten together right when he had got out of prison, she had still been mad at him for the whole hand cuffing himself to the rails thing. Then there was the whole Damien Moreau thing that had taken a lot of their energy. After they had finally taken him down, Nate and Sophie had finally gotten together. Almost nine months ago, Sophie had told Nate that she was pregnant. He could tell that she was nervous when she told him, and that his reaction to the news had surprised her. When he had asked her about that, she had admitted that she didn't think he wanted to have any more children. He had kissed her and told her that he had never been happier. Nate hadn't told anyone about the dream he had that night, sometimes he wasn't even sure he believed it was more than a dream. Every time he felt himself doubting that the dream had been real, he would look at that lily that he had found on the floor of his prison cell, now dead of course, and he would believe it all over again. Nate glanced down at his watch and wondered where Sophie and Parker were, they had went shopping for a few last minute baby things, but he was sure they would be back by now. Before he could get himself too worked up though, he heard the doorknob turn and saw Sophie and Parker walking into the apartment.

"Where have you guys been?" Nate asked, going over to take the shopping bags from Sophie "I have been worried"

"Sorry sweetie" Sophie said, rolling her eyes at him "but we haven't been gone that long"

"Yeah Nate" Parker chimed in "we only left a couple of hours ago and you know how long Sophie can shop"

"I know" Nate said "I just can't help it"

"It's okay" Sophie said, reaching up to kiss his cheek "it's kind of cute"

Later that night the team was hanging out together in the bar, neither Nate nor Sophie drinking anything alcoholic. Nate sat and watched as everyone was talking and laughing together, and he thought back on the last few years. A lot of the stuff that Lillian had showed him on that big screen in the forest had happened, but not everything had been exactly the same. One major difference was that Sophie never got captured and tied to that chair. Sophie had come to him a few months ago and wanted them to run a con on that same mark, and it had caused an argument that had lasted days but there was no way Nate could let her get put into that kind of danger. It had been hard enough to see it on the screen let alone in real life .Eventually Sophie had forgiven him and even admitted that he was right in turning the job down.

"Nate" Sophie said, snapping him out of his thoughts "I think I just felt a contraction

"Are you sure" Nate asked, while the rest of the team listened intently

"Definitely" Sophie answered, looking at him nervously

"Okay don't worry sweetheart" Nate said, standing and looking at the team "Parker run upstairs and get the overnight bag by the front door, Hardison go and bring the car around and we will meet you out front"

"What should I do?" Eliot asked as Parker and Hardison went to do what Nate had said

"Ummm…." Nate said looking around "you can open the door"

"Whatever you say man" Eliot said, laughing at Nate

Once they were settled into the back seat of the car, Nate had a chance to think again. He was nervous about the birth and everything, but he was most nervous to meet his child. All he kept thinking was what if she wasn't the same child he had met in the dream; he couldn't help but worry that he would be disappointed. As he looked at Sophie's face and saw the excitement and fear in her eyes, he told himself that he was being ridiculous, that this baby would be half Sophie so of course he would love it.

Hours later, it was just Nate and Sophie in the delivery room with the doctor and nurses. Nate was standing next to Sophie, holding her hand, as the doctor kept telling her to push. All of a sudden Nate heard the doctor announce that it was a girl, and time seemed to stand still while the nurses cleaned her up. Nate looked down at Sophie and kissed her, telling her that he loved her. As they broke apart one of the nurses set their baby in Sophie's arms, and Nate felt his eyes fill with tears as he gazed down at his daughter. She was the most beautiful baby he had ever seen, and he was sure that this was Lillian.

"Nate" Sophie said, looking up at him, her own eyes filled with tears also "do you want to hold her?"

"Of course I do" Nate said, taking the baby from Sophie

"She's beautiful isn't she" Sophie said

"Yes she is" Nate said, staring down at her

"What do you think we should name her?" Sophie asked

"Well I was actually hoping we could name her Lillian" Nate said, nervous that Sophie would hate the name

"Are you serious?" Sophie asked, looking up at Nate with a smile on her face "I love that name"

"Really" Nate said "well good, Lillian it is then, what do you think her middle name should be?"

"Parker" Sophie answered immediately "she has been so helpful the past few months and I know it would mean a lot to her"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Parker, Hardison, and Eliot walked into the room. Nate smiled as he walked over to them, Lillian still in his arms.

"Guys" Nate said softly "I would like for you to meet Lillian Parker Ford"
