Mack rolled over finding the other side of the bed empty. Sitting up, she slowly looked around the room, finding Eliot gone, she climbed from the bed, and went to find him. Going out into the hall she listened carefully, to try to find her husband. Hearing him talking in hushed whispers in his gym, she walked towards that direction.

Standing outside the door she listened to him, he sounded upset and worried. She contemplated going inside or just listening. He still didn't like to open up to her, it upset her greatly. "Quinn, I just need your help protecting her man. When I'm out of town, I have a lot of enemies that would get back at me by hurting her...please I'm begging you. Thanks."

She walked back to the bedroom, wondering if he was going to tell her of any new danger or just keep her in the dark. She sat down on the edge of the bed. Hating that he kept secrets from her, looking up as the door opened, she tried to push the worry away.

"I didn't think you'd be awake yet." He came closer to her, his hands cupping her face. His lips came down on hers. Mack wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her. She felt him lay her back on the bed.

"I love you." He pulled back, his blue eyes gazing into her green ones.

"I love you too." Brushing the hair away from her face, he smiled down at her. "Promise me, you'll be careful."

"Has something happened?" She reached up, touching the sides of his face. Looking for an answer in his eyes.

"With my past I'll always worry...if anything happens to you or our baby..." He couldn't finish the sentence.

"Eliot, nothing will happen, not with you protecting us." She leaned up kissing him, trying to calm his fears. He pulled away again, studying her face.

"Quinn is going to stay with you, when I'm away on a job." He laid his head on her chest, she stroked his hair, trying to comfort him. "Promise me, you'll listen to Quinn?"

She let out a laugh, making him raise his head, looking at her through narrowed eyes. "Yes. I'll listen to Quinn. Now get off me, I have to go pee!" She pushed him to the side, running towards the bathroom.

She stood in the shower letting the hot water flow over her body, wondering why he was concerned all of a sudden about her safety. He sometimes kept things from her, thinking it was for her own good. Hearing the shower door open behind her, she turned to see Eliot stepping in. "What's really going on Spencer? And don't even think about lying to me!"

"It's just a feeling I have, that something or someone is just waiting to take the two of you from me..." He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. She tried to comfort him, she'd never seen him like this, not even when her psycho ex was on the loose.

"It's going to be fine." She kissed him gently, hoping to ease his fears. "I will be careful." Finishing in the shower, they stepped out together, wrapping a towel around her body, she got ready for the rest of the day. Hoping to get Eliot to forget about the bad feeling he had.

Later that evening they went out for dinner, walking along the street holding hands, Eliot always had had guard up. They were walking towards Nate's building, they wanted to tell him first about the baby before the told the rest of the team. A van pulled up to the curb, several men jumped out, Eliot pushed Mack against the wall. Standing in front of her, protecting her he started to fight off the men.

One of them pulled knife stabbing him in the ribs, he went down on his knees for a minute, before getting back up and fighting. That one minute was enough, Mack was being dragged towards the van. She started to fight back, making it hard for them to move her. She was hit had in the side of the face, Eliot roared in anger, yelling her name.

She was dazed, and thrown in the van, shaking her head, she watched as Eliot was stabbed a second time and fell to the ground, she screamed his name. She was shoved back, the door was shut and the van took off. She curled up in a ball, protecting her baby crying and saying Eliot's name.

Eliot regained consciousnesses in the ER, Nate was sitting next to him. "Mack, they took Mack!" He was trying to get up, Nate pushed him back down, trying to calm him down.

"Easy Eliot, witness saw everything, the police have been notified. Hardison is on it. You were stabbed twice, trying to protect her."

"Get me out of here, I have to find her." Nate left the room to find the doctor, after some convincing they were back at Nate's apartment with the rest of the team.

Sophie came up to Eliot gently hugging him. "We'll find her and bring her home." He sat down on the couch, feeling the pain of his wounds and in his heart not knowing if Mack and his child were alright. Hardison sit down beside him, not saying anything, just giving him support.

"Do you have any information for me?" Eliot's voice was just above a whisper.

"The van was a rental, I'm working on getting the information. Getting the security feed from the rental company."

Parker hadn't said anything, she hadn't moved, she was curled up in the chair across the room. Nobody could get a read on the woman, she and Mack and grown close.

Lucas looked at the doctor. "Thank you, I know it's an odd request. Mr. Prost appreciates your help and your silence."

"Will there be anything else Mr. Phillips?"

"Not at this time." Lucas watched the doctor leave, looking down at the body, he felt bad about the pain the Spencer/Ford family was about to go through.
