I'm glad yall liked the last chapter (: Keep on reading and reviewing! (:

Enjoy!

A week after Jules was released from the hospital she was supposed to stay in bed for a few weeks because of how much blood she had lost and the amount of bruises on her body. She wasn't supposed to stand up for a long period of time, and she couldn't work around the house for a while either. And work seemed like a distant thing considering how weak she felt.

Alexis went to school everyday and returned home around 3. Jessica stayed home to help out with Carly, and she would occasionally go over to Jake's while Jules rested.

Sam worked each shift that team one worked. During their lunch or dinner breaks, he would bring by food. Or while they were patrolling, he and whoever he was partnered with for the day, would stop by and say hello.

One Friday morning Sam went off to work and Alexis was picked up by Clark to go to school. Jessica stayed with Carly in her arms as she would vacuum, dust, and everything in between. "Sweetie—Get out of this house. I can take care of things." Jules said as she walked out of she and Sam's bedroom. "Mom! Go back to bed." Jessica said as she put down a rag she was cleaning the counters with and pulled Carly close to her. "No way—I think I'm going to kill myself if I see that room anymore." Jessica laughed as she gave up. "Seriously Jess—Go out and do something. Sam will be home earlier today, and Alexis asked if she could go to Clark's house tonight and hang out. So go, get out—I'll be fine." Jessica smiled, "Well—Jake asked me to lunch today, and then to go hang out at his place." Jules giggled and nodded, "Go have fun." She took Carly from Jessica's arms and watched her run up the stairs to call Jake.

"Come here sweetie." Jules whispered as she rocked her daughter in her arms.

"Hey Jules—." Sam yelled as he opened the front door. She smiled as she walked through the house to see him and Wordy. "Hey Sammy, hey Wordy." She giggled as Sam kissed her cheek and she hugged Wordy with Carly in her arms. "So what are you guys doing here?"

"Just stopping by. We were patrolling down here today—Seen any wild kids or weirdoes with guns lately?" Sam joked as the three made their way into the kitchen.

"Nope—Sorry. Here—." She threw each of them a bottle of water.

"Are you feeling any better, Jules?" Wordy asked kindly. She nodded, "Yeah—The bruises are starting to go away and I'm starting to feel more like myself, but—you know—It's just kinda weird, but I'm trying to move on." She smiled and rocked Carly gently.

"Where's Jessica?" Sam asked.

"Upstairs—I told her to leave." She giggled.

"That was friendly of you to say."

Jules laughed, "She has better things to do than vacuum and carry a baby around. I'm—."

"Alpha to Bravo." Sam's radio buzzed. Both he and Wordy came to attention.

"Yeah Boss." He replied.

"We got a bomb threat at a local school—Where are you guys?"

"Stopped by to check on Jules—We're on it. What school?"

"St. John's—I know that Alexis and Clark are there—We have to get all these kids out safe." Sam stood in shock as Jules had overheard the radio and she could hardly speak. Wordy glanced at each of them as Jessica came running downstairs. "Mom—Dad! Alexis' school is on the news! Hey Wordy!" She managed to fit in as she ran to the living room TV.

"Okay—I love you sweetheart. We have to go." Sam kissed Jules' forehead gently as he and Wordy ran out of the house. Jules wanted to just run with them—She couldn't.

"Sweetie—You go hang out with Jake. I'm fine here—Have fun and be careful." She hugged Jessica. "But Mom—."

"Go! I'll call you if I start to die!" She giggled as Jessica smiled, grabbed her bag and ran out the door.

Jules went back to the couch and sat down with Carly in her arms as she watched the news. When she saw her team dashing out of the trucks—It felt like she was there. She closed her eyes and she soon fell into a light sleep with Carly fast asleep and close to her.

---------------------------------------------------------

"West halls are clear boss." Ed spoke over the headset. He and Sam ran down the halls. They had learned to cope with each other, especially after what happened to Jules. Their main mission—Get their kids out safe along with the others.

"Okay Team—Spike and Lou are checking on the bomb. Wordy and I are checking out where this could have come from. The bomb itself is in a case—In the courtyard. You need to evacuate the classrooms around there first, then get the others—Before anyone gets hurt. Spike, got anything?" Greg asked.

"Sorry Boss—Nothing. Babycakes is going in though to check it out." Spike informed.

Greg nodded and spoke over the headset, "Okay—Keep me posted. Ed-Sam where are you?"

"Heading down the East Hallway, Boss—We've got most of everyone out." Sam spoke as they sent lines of students out of the building and into the back parking lot.

"Are they in the same class right now?" Ed asked. Sam shook his head, "I have no idea—She never tells me about school."

"Neither does Clark." They continued to clear room by room.

"Boss-Hey—Check this out." Wordy pointed to the screen as he and Greg were in the command post. He was viewing texts going out from inside the school. "Guys—There's more to this." They stared at the text as it loaded onto the screen.

Clark, If I send this the team might be able to find where we are. I love you. Gunman in room 108—Help.

"Team One we have a man with a gun in room 108—Get down there as soon as possible, Wordy and I are coming in." Greg announced.

"Hey Boss—Check it out." Wordy pointed out as a reply came in.

Good plan Lexi—I love you too. We're going to be fine.

"Sam—Ed—Your kids are texting each other—Get in there." Greg yelled over the radio as he pulled his gun out and he and Wordy ran into the building.

Inside the classroom the kids were all huddled in the corner. Their teacher, Mrs. West, was sitting in a chair, tied up and her mouth as covered in tape. A man was holding a gun to her head. That man—Was her husband.

"Shut up!" He yelled as his wife cried, being threatened in front of her students. All of the kids were trying to stay calm as they were trying to send texts out to get help.

"Okay Team—On my go." Greg nodded outside the door. Ed and Sam were getting antsy to get in and rescue their kids as they lined up with Greg and Wordy, ready to make an entrance.

"Hey you!" The man shouted racing over to the group with his gun raised. "Who are you talking to!?" He shouted as the boy dropped his phone to the ground. "Stand up! I said stand up!" He yelled furiously as the boy raised to his feet with his hands in the air. All of a sudden Ed, Sam, Wordy, and Greg barreled in. When Ed saw the boy with the gun raised at him, he took action—and two gunshots sounded.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Jake." Jessica smiled as he met her at the door to his apartment. "Hey Jess—I'm glad you could come." He kissed her gently as they made their way inside and fell to the couch. "Can I get you anything?" He asked with a smile as he made his way to the fridge. "That'll work." She giggled as he raised a beer and tossed it to her. "Thanks" She said with a smile.

"So—I saw the bomb threat on the news—Isn't that your little sister's school?"

Jessica nodded wearily, "Yeah—But I think the team has got it under control. My Dad was heading out there when I left."

"Listen—How's your mom? I saw what happened on the news and I never really got to ask you." He said caringly, placing his hand on her knee as they both had a beer in their hands.

Jessica glanced over, "A lot happened that night—She's doing a lot better." He smiled at her as she sipped her beer. "I'm just glad she and I have such a tight relationship—You know—She's been trying to help me ever since what happened the day I met her." He nodded, "I know what happened to you, and I just want you to know that I truly love you. I would never hurt you." He kissed her cheek as she smiled. "I know Jake—We also talked about that." She said as she took placed her beer on the coffee table and took his hand as he also placed his down. "You're the first guy I can really trust." He smiled brightly as she placed her hand on his cheek and kissed him passionately. He kissed back, pulling her closer to him.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Get medics immediately! Get these kids out of here!" Greg yelled as he and Wordy tried to get the kids out of the room. Lou came running in with paramedics as Spike stayed outside—the bomb was a fake—A distraction.

"Come on Clark—Its okay son—Stay with me." Ed was on the ground next to Clark. The man had shot him in the arm.

Sam was holding onto Alexis who was crying her eyes out as she then fell next to Clark. "It's okay Clark—I'm right here. You were with me when I was hurt, I'll be with you the whole time." She said through broken sobs. Paramedics were tending to Clark as Lou went to untie the teacher. The kids ran out of the room, crying and in shock by seeing a man shot dead and a classmate shot in the arm.

"It's okay Clark—Alexis is going with you. Mom and I will be right here." Ed told him as he grabbed his gun from the floor. He and Sam followed the kids and the paramedics. Lou led the teacher out to the parking lot so that they could figure out what the man wanted from her. Greg and Wordy waited for forensics and when they arrived, the team was finally together again in the parking lot, before Ed was pulled away from his son to be investigated by the SIU.

"He'll be okay buddy." Greg patted his back as Ed got into the police car and rode off.

Alexis rode with Clark to the hospital.

"It's going to be okay Clark—I'm here." He smiled up at her as she held his hand tightly. "Thanks—Alexis?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you." She smiled, "I love you too Clark."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Jules awoke to the TV sounding loudly as Carly cried in her arms. "What the—?" She turned up the TV to see her team in the background.

She called up Sam.

"Sam what happened?" She cried, as she didn't see what had actually happened.

***

"Jules—It's okay—Alexis is fine, but Clark got shot and Ed took down the guy. She rode with Clark to the hospital and we're going to go on over there. You stay put—Everything is going to be fine. I'll call you in a bit."

***

"Okay Sammy." She said quietly, then hung up the phone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"You're allowed to stay the night, aren't you?" Jake asked as Jessica had almost fallen asleep against his bare chest while they lied in bed. It was only 4 pm. She nodded, "Yeah—I can." She had totally forgotten about the past. Seeing Jules fight what had happened to her, she felt stronger and wanted to move on. Jake stroked her hair with his fingers, "I love you Jessica." She smiled, "I love you too." Then placed her head close to him and closed her eyes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"We're going to take him on up to surgery." A doctor told Alexis as she stood next to Clark's gurney in the emergency room.

She nodded, "Clark—I'm going to be here the whole time. Your mom will be here soon and so will the team, and your Dad will be here the second he finishes the investigation."

"I'll be fine Lexi—Tell my Dad—Tell him I said thanks. That guy could have really killed me if he hadn't of shot him. Tell the whole team thanks actually. I'm going to be okay—I love you." He reached up with his unharmed arm and placed his hand on her cheek as a tear rolled down it. She kissed him gently as she replied, "I love you too," and he was pushed down the hall and onto the gurney as she followed slowly, wiping tears from her eyes.
