Mack couldn't get comfortable, waking up at three in the morning she eased herself out of bed and careful made her way downstairs. Going to the kitchen, she grabbed a bottle of water, and threw some fresh fruit in a bowl. Going into the livingroom, she settled herself on the couch, she turned on the TV. Finding Gone With The Wind on, she curled up and watched, it was one of her favorite movies.
She was wrapped up in a blanket, engrossed in the movie, it was a good way to forget whatever was out there, the dangers that could be waiting.

Eliot reached over, feeling for his wife, sometime in the night, she'd rolled out of his arms. Not going up with her, he frowned, opening his eyes, he saw that her side of the bed was empty. Sitting up, he looked around the room, slipping from the bed, he looked in the bathroom, she wasn't there. He couldn't help but have a sense of fear that his wife was missing.
Going down stairs, he tried to remain calm, coming to a stop, he smiled at the movie on the TV. Going to the couch, he smiled down at Mack. "Couldn't sleep beautiful?"
"Couldn't get comfortable, and I was hungry. But I had fruit!" She heard him chuckle, he laid down beside her, wrapping his around her waist. "You need to get some rest."
She let out a sigh, snuggling close to him. "I love you." His lips grazed over her neck, his hands moved along her body. She turned to face him, kissing him fully.
"I love you too. You and our son are my whole world." She framed his face with her hands, looking into his eyes.
"I know, and I feel the same about the two of you."
"Let's go to bed." She pushed herself up off the couch, Eliot helped her, his hands giving her support.

Mack glanced down at his sleeping face, he looked peaceful and relaxed. She again eased herself from the bed, going down stairs, opening the front door, she went to get the paper. Stopping when she saw the envelop on the porch, she picked it up, going outside she went to the end of the drive picking up the paper. Going back inside the house, she went into the kitchen, dropping the paper on the counter, she opened the envelope.
Pulling out the pictures she flipped through them, dropping them on the bar, her heart rate picked up, she dropped to the floor. (Y/N)!" She looked up to see Eliot running down the stairs towards her. "What's wrong?"
"The pictures..." He helped her up off the floor, leading her to the couch. Going back to the kitchen, he looked through the pictures. He came back to the couch, pulling her into his arms.
"It's going to be okay."

Linus watched on his computer at Mack's reaction, he was disappointed, he had expected a better reaction. He expected Eliot to blow up, not to remain so calm. He'd have to do much more to them, to get the reactions he wanted. Shutting off his computer, he got up from his desk, going outside he looked down the street. He'd wait for the perfect time, and put fear into Mackenzie Spencer.

"Damn it Hardison, how did he get pictures from inside the house?" Eliot was pacing, needing answers.
"I don't know, man I made sure everything I installed couldn't be hacked."
"Figure it out! I don't need her stressed out." Eliot went into Nate's guestroom, finding Mack asleep. He kissed her gently, shaking her awake. "Hey beautiful, let's eat some lunch."
"Please be nice to Hardison, he wouldn't let anything bad happen to me or baby Eliot." She pushed herself up out of the bed, waddling towards the door. He wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing the back of her neck.
"I know, baby." He guided her out of the room, towards the dinning room. His arms still around her. "What do you want to eat?"
"Pizza, and wings!" She smiled. "Extra hot wings!"
She heard him chuckle. "I can arrange that, anything else?"
"Tums for heartburn for later." She laughed, she turned in his arms kissing him. Reaching into the pocket of his jeans, he pulled out a roll of Tums, dropping them in her hand.
"I have you." He kissed her lips, his blue eyes sparkled with happiness.

Hardison came over the next morning, pulling all the security cameras out of the house, he put in new ones, making sure they were secure and couldn't be hacked. He went through the house, looking for bugs making sure no one had come in, and slipped their own cameras in. He beefed up the security system, adding extra features.
He wanted to make sure Mack and the baby would be safe, at all times. He walked over to Eliot, feeling horrible about what had happened. "I'm sorry, I've changed out the camera's, I'm going to make sure their safe..."
"I'm sorry man, I shouldn't have snapped like that. I just worry about her and his safety."
"Eliot, I swear to make sure they're always safe. You're my brother man..."
"Thanks, that means a lot to me. I really need your help finding Linus."
"I'm doing everything I can to find him. Any new information is yours, we're going to find him."

Mack was at Sophie's apartment, making a list of things that the baby still needed. They were laughing and having a good time, Mack was trying not to think about the pictures that were on their doorstep, or worry about who sent them. She stood up, to go to the kitchen, to get a bottle of water, she started to see spots. She got dizzy, her head started to throb, she broke out into a sweat, she crumbled to her knees.
"Mack!" She glanced up to see Sophie standing over her, then everything went black.

Eliot was sitting in the livingroom, watching a football game on TV, his phone started to ring. "Yeah Soph? Is she okay? I'm on my way!" He jumped from the couch, trying to remain calm, going to the closet, he grabbed her bag. Running outside, he got into the car, driving towards the hospital.
