John dropped Allie and Finn off at her place after dinner. Allie still couldn't believe that Drew sent Nick to take Finn. She walked into the apartment and saw that Randy wasn't there. She knew he probably headed out to get dinner. She gave Finn a bath and read him a story before putting him down for the night. Once he was, she walked into the guest bedroom. She knew Randy wouldn't do his own laundry or anything.

"I knew it." she said to herself as she walked in and saw the clothes. She quickly picked them up and headed to the laundry room. She sorted the clothes and went through the pocket of his clothes. She found a piece of paper in one with a phone number on it and a paper from a doctor. She read over the paper and was shocked at what she read.

He had told her he wanted what she wanted now. He wanted the family and kids and he wanted them with her. But according to that paper, he had already fixed it so he wouldn't ever have kids. She couldn't believe he lied to her and now she wondered about the phone number. She decided she'd show it to John to see if he could help her figure it out.

Mike sat on the couch looking over the file again. There had to be something he was missing. And then he saw it. Something that seemed odd. All Phil's wounds had been inflicted by someone who was left handed. Ellie was right handed. He was about to pick up the phone and call John when he heard a small gasp behind him. He turned to see Ellie standing there with her eyes closed. He put the file down and walked over to her.

"Are you okay?" He asked her. He noticed her looking at the photos on the table. "I'm sorry." He said quickly putting them up. "I thought you were sleeping. I didn't want you to see them." She looked at him, her hands still shaking and he wrapped an arm around her and led her over to the couch. He went to the fridge and got her a bottle of water. "I should have thought. I'm sorry. You okay?" She nodded.

"It's been over a year and I guess it's still hard to see. I blocked the pictures out at the trial."

"That's understandable." Mike said as he sat down next to her. He pulled her against his chest and wrapped an arm around her. She closed her eyes again as the shaking stopped instantly.

"Is it strange that I feel safer here with you than I have in a long time?" He looked at her and shook his head. She looked up at him again and noticed for the first time how blue his eyes were.

"It's important to feel safe."

"And loved." She added.

"That's important too." He said softly. He looked into her eyes and before he could stop himself, he leaned down and gently kissed her. She felt herself kiss him back and a warm feeling rush over her. She hadn't felt this since Phil and it was frightening to her but comforting at the same. She wasn't sure what was exactly happening. He pulled back to look at her and smiled a little. "It's okay Ellie. I won't let anything hurt you. I found something that was overlooked. Something so simple and obvious. Phil was killed by a left handed person"

"Then I couldn't have done it. I'm right handed." She said looking at him.

"Exactly. So, we have to figure out who could have done it and then work to clear your name." He said to her. "I don't know why no one caught it but we will bring it to their attention."

She nodded. She hoped this worked to prove her innocence.

Allie sat in the apartment looking over some files. She had called John and gave him the number and he said he would look into it. She looked up as the door opened and Randy walked in.

He smiled at her. "Hey beautiful."

"Hi."

"Everything ok?"

"Drew sent one of his goons to attack me and Finn. Luckily John and Mason were there to help. Did you have a nice night?"

"Went out, had some dinner and a few beers. Came back to do my laundry."

"Oh, I already put it in." She said. He stopped. "I've been giving me some thought to us getting back together. Tell me again how you want have kids with me."

"I do." He walked over and sat down beside. "I still love you and I want us together. I want to have kids with you. Maybe two."

"If you want to have kids with me, then why did you get a vasectomy just six months ago?" She said taking the paper out and handing it to him.

"Because I didn't think there was chance for us. Now that I think there is, I can have it reversed."

She stood up. "If you truly wanted kids at all, you never would have gotten it done. You lied to me." She started toward her bedroom. "Randy, you came here and said you wanted the same things I did. But you don't. I can't be with someone who doesn't want a family. I want to be a mom more than anything."

"You have Finn. Do you need another child?"

"Finn is my sister's son. I'm keeping him for her. I want my own child too. Even if Ellie has to go back to jail and she can't raise Finn, I still want a family. And it's obvious you don't want that."

"I can fix this. I can get it reversed and we can have kids, be a family like you want."

"I would always wonder if you were lying to me like you're lying to me now. You can't stay here anymore. When your laundry's done, pack it up and go."

He grabbed her arm. "This is because of that detective isn't it. You're so hot to fuck him that you're willing to forget all that we were."

"What we were is the key word. And this has nothing to do with John."

He laughed. "Sure it doesn't. I saw the look he gave you and the look you gave him. You want to fuck him. That's why you can't consider us getting back together."

She pulled away from him. "I won't consider us getting back together anymore because you lied to me. You told me that you wanted a family with me. You knew that was my dream. To have a family."

"Does Detective Cena want a family? Is that why you're so ready to jump into bed with him?"

"Yes, he does. But he's been honest with me since the beginning. Which more than I can say for you. Get your stuff and get out."

He walked to the guest room and got his stuff and walked back into the living room. He looked at her. "This isn't over, Allie. Far from it." He said walking out.

Allie didn't know why but the way he said it terrified her. She quickly headed into the second guest room and packed Finn's diaper bag. She then picked up a sleeping Finn and headed down her waiting cab. She told the driver John's address and sat back in the cab holding Finn. She hoped she was wrong but something wasn't right.
