A/N: So I got tired of writing for this shape shifting baby, in my head anyway, so I had some down time at work and I really didn't have shit else to search on the interwebs so I was just like, let me find a concrete picture of what I can make this kid look like. So I'm searching cute babies and none of this is working for me so I thought about the Liv baby pictures and then how to change it to make it not look like she just underwent parthenogenesis. So I decided to look up baby pictures of Yara Shahidi, since she played Lil' Liv and I could see how that could work. And that was a good idea. Precious baby, adorable toddler, just a cutie pie from start to finish. And now I want a baby…so I'm going to babysit a cousin's baby for a night and make my body realize why that's a horrible idea and unscheduled naps are still so much better than babies (for now). But anyways if you want to know what Adeline looks like google Infant Yara Shahidi, it should be the first pic that pops up. And then so I try to get a visual of hazel eyes on the baby form (since I kinda already committed to that and I don't feel like I should change it again) So I look up bronze skin hazel eyes (Well actually I looked up bronze skin first and who ever put that image result together is color blind because for some reason, Julia Roberts little niece popped up...shoulder shrug). Anyways, I google bronze skin hazel eyes and go to the images and scroll down some and start laughing, and my first thought was who the hell did this. Because I'm thinking somebody did a picture splice and posted it, but it's too neat for a splice and after investigating further it's a real picture. It's still funny, but now it's creepy and I'm like why does this person exist because this girl looks like Kerry and Beyonce had a baby (We haven't decided if we are going to name her Kerryonce or Beyrry lmao)whose remotely related to SF's eyes. Anyway's this now creepy picture, she's a pretty girl but I just thought that was a funny story cause I'm like what the eff is this? So now when I start doing my one shots (if I ever get there) I got a teen Adeline, a merger of this girl and Yara now. (Seriously though google that mess, you'll know which one I'm talking about, you don't even have to stroll)

"Oh, shit. They're back," The man across the hall behind the computer said through the mouth piece.

"They can't be back already?" The guy on the ladder said holding the camera in place.

"Why are they back already?" the guy helping him asked.

"I don't know but you need to get your asses out of there, now," the man across the hall pacing the room replied.

"I just need to mount this one, we need this one," he said as he stabilized and secured the camera.

"Hurry up!" The man yelled over the ear piece.

"Got it," he said hopping down from the ladder. He and the other man grabbed their equipment and ran out of the apartment, closing the door behind them.

"That was actually a pretty good excuse to get out of your final work out," he teased as they stepped out of the elevator. "My kids sleeping, I gotta go," he said mocking her.

They were on their way from his friend's gym. He had been spending a lot of time there and he had taken Adeline with him a couple of times, and of course Parker was there, she was sure more often than not when he went there. So, she had come up with a reason why it was also a good idea that she started spending time there. She had always been interested in learning to box and she also needed to lose the last five pounds of baby weight. At least that's what she had told him. He had stared at her before replying with a disbelieving, "Uh huh." Rather he believed it or not, she didn't care, because she now had a reason to be at the gym without having to outright say that she was keeping an eye on this Parker girl, plus she actually got the benefit of the workout.

"It wasn't an excuse," she told him, laughing a little herself.

"Sure," he told her. "Hey you think if she'd come along sooner Rowan would have let me out of missions. Sorry, dance class. Can't fly over seas, doctors appointment."

She gave him a look but still smiled. This was one of the ways he dealt with his dark past at it pertained to his life now, with a daughter and all. He had a dark sense of humor, and though a lot of times she didn't want to be, because she didn't find it funny the things that her dad did to him or had him to do, she was amused by it. She had seen enough in her lifetime to have her sense of humor a little tainted as well.

She pulled out her key and went to put it in the lock, but when she tried to push it in the door opened on its own, as if it wasn't shut properly and it definitely hadn't been locked.

"Shit!," the man that had been pacing the room yelled as he brought his hand up to his mouth trying to figure out what would be their next move. After all, he was the one in charge here, and after seeing how these idiots operated, he understood better just why that was.

"You didn't close the door all the way you idiot," one man said as he pushed the last man to leave the apartment in the shoulder.

They then started arguing over whose fault it was before the head man yelled at them all to be quiet so he could think. He then went back to watching the video feed that they did have since he could see them outside of the door.

Her mouth fell open as she turned around and looked at him. He was wearing the same facial expression she was as they were both trying to figure out just what the hell was going on.

"Jake," she said shakily, about to voice what they both already knew. She just didn't know if the danger was still nearby or if it was just a simple burglary and the intruder was long gone.

He was already shifting Adeline into her arms. "Stay here," he said as he pushed the door open a little more, and grabbed the gun from the back of his waist band.

She made a mental note to yell at him about having a gun so close to her daughter, but she would save that and use it only if he didn't end up needing to use it. If he did, well then, she'd be grateful that it was there.

He stepped slowly inside of the apartment, the gun raised and ready to fire. It didn't seem that anything had been disturbed, which made him more worried.

She took a step inside of the apartment as he was getting further away from her and she didn't want to put too much distance between them just in case something happened. She was surveying the scene as well trying to figure out how the hell whoever had been in there had gotten in. She turned and looked at the door, cradling a sleeping Adeline close to her chest. It didn't seemed that it had been disturbed or as if someone had forced their way in.

She pressed her lips to Adeline's head. Then suddenly the door across the hall from her opened and a masked man exited. She felt her adrenaline surge higher as she did the first thing she could think of. "Jake!" she yelled as she simultaneously stepped to the side out of the door frame, wrapping herself around the baby.

She heard a sound that she recognized as a gun equipped with a silencer being fired followed by a body falling. She heard Jake swear and turned her head to look at him, but he was already grabbing her by her shoulder.

"Run," he told her as he pushed her towards the door way. Her initial instinct was to go for the elevator since she had the baby and the stairs were further away, thankfully it hadn't moved from when they had gotten off of it and the doors opened almost instantly. Suddenly the door across from her apartment opened again and two men came out. The first one raised his gun, but Jake was already firing at him. The man ducked quickly when he saw he didn't have time to get off the first shot and it hit the second masked man in the shoulder causing him to fall against the wall. But a third man came out in his place. She wanted him to get on with her, but when he yelled at her to "Find Huck!" she knew that that wasn't necessarily a part of his plan.

The elevator doors closed as he was able to tackle the man going for the door to the ground. She heard that gun sound again as the elevator started moving and jumped, hoping that it wasn't Jake who had gotten shot. Her mind was racing and her heart was pounding out of her chest, but she knew she had to keep herself from panicking, if she was going to get her baby out of there.

The dings from the elevator seemed extra loud, and she immediately hit the button for all of the floors after she realized that she had not hit a button. She wanted so badly to just ride it down to the first floor and sprint the hell out of that building, but she could tell from the ambush that she had just experienced that this was a set up and there were probably more people waiting in the lobby for her. She could hear the sound of thumping in her ears as well as each breath she took as she readied herself to fight as best she could with the baby in her arms. The elevator gave one last ding as it stopped on the third floor and she took a deep breath as the door opened, then stepped off racing towards the stairwells.

She pushed the door open and stepped back into the hallway immediately allowing it to close as she heard footsteps below her and caught a glimpse of two men going to the second floor before one of them said something about 'the bitch stopping at every floor'. She closed her eyes tight hoping that they wouldn't continue up a floor. She took another deep breath and held it, listening for sounds coming from the stairwell. When she didn't hear any, she pushed the door open and rushed down the last two flights, making it into the lobby just as she heard the men entering the stairwell again. She hurried towards the front desk, telling the older gentlemen who manned the desk during the night to call the police because someone had broken into her apartment. The man asked if she was okay, but she didn't answer as she was already on her way towards the door.

She quickly spotted her car and jumped into the front seat, locking the door. She turned around and reached over the front seat, taking the baby away from her chest for the first time and placing her in the car seat. The baby immediately began crying as she had woken up sometime during the whole thing but had thankfully not given them away by crying.

"Shh," she tried to comfort her, as she strapped her in her seat. "I know baby, I know. But we have to get out of here."

She clicked the last strap into place, and jumped when she heard a knock on the passenger side window. She was prepared to get out of the car leaving the baby behind or fight if they tried to take the child. Thankfully, she wouldn't have to make that decision as she saw Jake's face staring back at her, telling her to open the door. She quickly did and he got in the passenger seat.

"Go Liv, I don't know how many of them there are," she jammed the key in the ignition and started the car before pulling off into the streets.

They drove for a few seconds in silence. She didn't know where she was going, but she figured as long as he didn't say anything, she was on an approved route.

He groaned and adjusted himself in the seat, she looked over and saw that his dark gray T shirt was wet on the side.

"What is that?" she asked panicking. "Is that blood? Are you bleeding? Did you get shot?"

"Calm down," he told her, trying to brush it off. "It's just a flesh wound." He said looking down at the side of his shirt to see how badly he was bleeding. He reached in the back seat to grab his gym bag he had left in her car.

"How do you know?" she asked, alternating between looking at the road and wound in his side.

"Because I can still breath," he told her as he pulled a towel out of his bag, wincing slightly. He was trying not to leave any of his blood in the car as he planned on ditching the car as soon as he thought it was safe.

"For now," she yelled at him.

"Liv, I'm fine," he said raising his shirt so he could get a better look. He placed the towel behind him.

She looked over and saw a chunk of flesh missing. "You need to go to a hospital."

"Can't," he told her. "I don't know who those guys were. I don't know how far their reach is. And I'm not leaving you right now."

"Jake," she said, preparing to argue her point.

"Olivia," he cut her off, "just keep driving. Trust me." She looked over at him. "Please."

She just stared at him for a moment before turning back to the road and driving in silence. The only sounds being Adeline's intermittent cries. Olivia told him to grab her pacifier out of the bag she had placed in the backseat and thankfully that quieted her.

"No, I'll be there in a second," she said strolling towards her office with Adeline in her arms. "Just keep him there."

She was headed to her office to meet with a client. So far her morning had gone per usual. She was actually doing a little better seeing that she was actually on time, her client was just a little early. Before becoming a mother, she had been a stickler for time unless something important and unexpected came up, but with a baby, something unexpected was always coming up. Plus there was just more stuff to haul around, but she was getting better at it. Still not always on time as she would have liked to have been.

Then suddenly she saw a guy walk by in a ski mask. She frowned deeply, and wondered what the hell was going on as she watch the man continue to walk down the busy sidewalk. No one else seemed to be alarmed, so she brushed it off and continued walking.

"Has Huck found anything in the database yet?"

"No," Quinn kept talking but her attention was diverted by another man dressed in all black with a ski mask over his face. This time she turned her head letting her eyes follow the man as he passed her by. Again, no one else seemed to be concerned and the guy didn't even seem to have notice her.

"Liv? You there?" Quinn asked through the phone.

"Yeah, I just," she stopped as she noticed another guy with the same attire. "Quinn, is today some kind of weird holiday I'm not aware of?" she asked.

"No why?" the woman asked

She was about to tell her but suddenly she bumped into one of those masked men. "Oh, sorry," she said, not a little frightened having actually made contact with one of the weird people. She tried to back away from him and keep going but she realized the man had his hands on her daughter and he was not letting go.

"What are you doing?" she said looking up at him.

"Just let her go and no one gets hurt," he said calmly.

"No," she told him offended that he would even suggest such a thing. "You need to let go of my baby, now."

The man responded by tugging on the baby, which started her crying.

"Let go of her," she yelled at him refusing to let go of her baby. "You're hurting her."

Suddenly the man pushed her forcefully and she felt the child slipping from her grip. Her shoulder hit the wall and she fell onto her stomach. She stood up quickly, still hearing the child crying, but when she looked up, her daughter and the masked man was nowhere to be seen, but she could still hear her crying. She was crying, she was in danger and she couldn't get to her. She wanted to scream, bulldoze through the crowd until she found the masked man but she couldn't do anything. Her limbs were heavy, she couldn't move them. Suddenly she felt the ground slipping away from underneath her.

Suddenly she startled awake, her eyes popping open as she raised herself up partially with her hand, prepared to fight now that she could move again.

"Whoa," she heard a familiar voice say causing her to look in his direction. His face was still a little blurry as she was still exhausted. "Relax."

She realized that she was now in a bedroom, her head turned quickly and she saw her baby safe and sound, sprawled out on her back, a pillow on the other side of her to keep her from rolling off of the bed, her little mouth sucking gently, the pacifier that was supposed to be there on the bed about a foot above her head. Her little chest rising and falling as she seemed to be falling back into a little bit of a deeper sleep, her parents' ruckus almost having woke her.

"You okay?" he asked, causing her head to whip back towards him.

"I'm..." she started, raising a hand to her forehead as the events of the previous night came rushing back to her. The dream drawing her concentration a little bit.

They had left town. They had left town, traded cars somewhere after leaving town and traded license plates as well. Then he had brought her here, which if she was remembering correctly that early morning ferry ride in her exhausted haze, they were in the Hamptons. She was just relieved to be somewhere safe, with a bed, and shower so she had just showered, got in the bed and passed out. He remembered him faintly saying he would take care of Adeline, which he must have because she hadn't had on a onesie before she had fallen asleep.

"I'm fine," she finally got out, as she looked back at him. She realized that the ground moving under her had been him getting out of the bed.

"I'm gonna run out and grab some things," he told her. "I don't think we have anything to eat here."

"Wait," she told him as she started to get out of bed, "I'm coming with you. I don't have anything for her." That onesie the child had on was the only extra piece of clothing in her bag when they had made a run for it.

"Liv, don't worry," he told her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "It's fine. I'll grab some stuff for her. Get some rest."

She wanted to argue with him but she was really exhausted. She must have looked it too if he was pleading with her to get more sleep. But it was just hard to sleep when you were actively on the run. Thankfully he had brought them here. She still didn't know exactly where here was or who it belonged to but she felt safe here, mostly because he felt it was safe for them. With that thought and her tiredness weighing down on her, she didn't even remember him walking out of the room before she was asleep again.

She woke again about an hour later, the feel of something moving through her hair stirring her from her sleep. Her eyes flickered open and she stared at the wall for a moment before realizing the disturbance was coming from behind her. She turned her head slowly to see that Adeline was awake, her wiggling little limbs had gotten her hand tangled in her mother's hair.

The baby's eyes flickered to hers and as soon as she made eye contact with her mother she smiled and started cooing, causing Olivia to smile as well. She watched as the child managed to flip herself onto her stomach with a tiny bit of a struggle. She leaned into her mother and started a light conversation by babbling and cooing, every now and then getting excited about something that made her squeal. Sure she was tired, but Adeline was up and from the looks of it she wanted to play. She rolled onto her back and picked the child up. It wasn't until she seemed more interested in chewing on her fingers than talking and she dropped her head to her mother's breast bone and started emitting smacking sounds that she realized she hadn't fed her since she climbed into the back seat to feed her around six am that morning. It was now after noon. She picked Adeline up and climbed out of bed before wandering slowly in the living room. She hadn't realized how gorgeous this house was. It was big and bright and very well designed and decorated. She took a seat in the front of the larger windows facing the backyard which ran off into a beach.

He pulled up into the garage and grabbed the bags from the back seat bringing them into the house he got to the living room and sat the bags down on the counter before he heard Olivia calling his name.

"Hey, yeah," he said knowing that she just wanted verification that it was him. "It's me." He followed her voice into the living room and found her sitting in front of the view window breastfeeding Adeline.

"I got lunch," he informed her. "It's not much just soup and a sandwich. Sorry there's no Gettysburger here."

She smiled at him. "That's okay," she then gave him a look before suspiciously looking around the place. "Where exactly is here?"

He opened his mouth but no words came out and she could tell that he hesitated which meant that he didn't want to give her the answer, either because she wouldn't like it or for some other reason. This made her stare at him more intently, looking for any sign that he was lying or not giving her the whole truth.

"Uhh, it's actually my place," he told her.

Her eyes widened and she didn't look like she completely believed him, not because he couldn't afford a place like this but because this was the man that she had been begging to get an updated cell phone and a new car, which he finally got, though he never told her what actually happened to his old car. A man who decided to rent and never gave actually buying a condo or a house a second thought, she believed for much the same reasons she hadn't. And now he was telling her that he owned this beautiful family home, because it was clearly a family home not a bachelor pad.

He went on to explain, "Well actually it's my mother's," he told her, "but she doesn't want it. She comes up here from time to time just to make sure it's being kept up but she wants me to take it."

She continued to stare at him. "Where are we?"

"Quogoe," he told her.

"So, you own a house in the Hamptons?" she questioned to confirm. She still couldn't get her mind around him having a permanent base like this. Well it made sense when she thought about it. It was pretty secluded but not secluded enough to draw attention to himself, plus nothing about Jake screamed Hamptons and if his name wasn't in anyway associated to the house it would be hard to tie him to it let alone figure out it was his go to place when he was on the run.

"No, my mother does," he corrected.

"But it's gonna be yours," she told him.

"Nope, because I don't want it either," he informed her. She gave him a look as if he was crazy. She hadn't stepped foot in the place more than eight hours ago and she already wanted this house, so she couldn't figure out why neither he or his mother did.

She smiled at him again, realizing something. "Was that a picture of you when you were a little boy?"

He rolled his eyes at her and walked back into the kitchen, causing her to start laughing. "What? You were cute?" she called behind him as she finished up feeding Adeline, now feeling a little hungry herself. She picked the baby up and went into the kitchen where he had set out their food on the counter top. She also saw that he had brought a few groceries and a few things for Adeline, this drew her attention back to the seriousness of their situation.

They still didn't know what the hell that was. The men were clearly after her but she didn't know if they were specifically after her or her baby. She prayed it was the former and not the latter.

"You think my father could've been behind this?" she blurted out, the fear from the night before starting to creep it's way back up her spine.

Jake looked at her taking in her demeanor. He didn't know why that would be the first person she jumped to. He didn't necessarily think it was Rowan's doing because the guys were clearly not B6-13 trained. Plus they seemed to be more aggressive than he would think Rowan would have them be with his daughter, not that he didn't think he would hurt her, but from his knowledge she hadn't done anything recently to cause him to want to do that, other than the case against B6-13 but she had been sitting on that for a while. He would surely make a few more threats to both of them before he actually decided to come for them. That was just the way he played it with them, but something about her told him that she wasn't telling him everything.

"He's been following me," she admitted. "Usually when I have Adeline. You think he was coming for her...to take her away from me?" By now she had tears in her eyes as she rocked slightly from foot to foot, stroking the child's back as she cooed quietly to herself.

He didn't say anything at first. He was just trying to process this new information. He hadn't known that Rowan had been threatening her, he figured he would at some point but he was unaware it had started. He wanted to know why she hadn't told him but she was clearly a little shaken up by all of it. He wouldn't lie, it scared him a little as well. He was all too aware of the ways that Rowan could work and have their baby snatched from them, but he would do his best to keep that from happening. Even before Adeline's birth, all he had wanted to do was see Olivia happy, and now that she had her she was genuinely happy. He had never seen her as happy as she had been the first time Adeline smiled at her or laughed or when she got up on her knees to make to crawl even though she didn't make it anywhere, rocking back and forth before falling back to her stomach and scooting to where she wanted to go. He saw how content and happy she was with Adeline and he knew his daughter needed her mother, and he would do everything in his power to keep them together, even if that meant giving his life.

"Come here," he said, before pulling her into a hug. He kissed her forehead before resting his chin on top of her head. "I told you, we're not gonna let that happen. That's not gonna happen."

She laid her head on his chest, taking comfort that they had beaten whoever it was in their first attempt at doing whatever it was that they had come to do. She also knew that they made a formidable team, just the two of them, but that they also had pretty damn good help around them as well. They weren't just sitting ducks.

She took a deep breath and blew it out. She then picked her head up and looked up at him. "Whoever this is, when this is over, we need to finish this with my father," she told him. She was getting tired of having to look over her shoulder all the time, and now that this had happened, she was ready to be done with it. He just nodded before pulling them back into his arms.

A/N: I will come back to edit later. No I'm not back watching Scandal but I am generally aware of what's been going on. As I can't help but to when you have people talking about it all the time. Few thoughts on what I do know...Cyrus is either tripping or scheming, I hope its the latter (I feel Cyrus is too vengeful and he'd already turned his vengeful mind on Fitz I don't think a hug and a sob story would be able to change his mind, but IDK what the hell this show is doing right now...shoulder shrug). Mellie is tripping, I really just don't understand why she wants to be with Fitz, I mean I understand that was her path to the presidency, but shit girl cut your losses, is it really worth it to have to deal with that bs. Fitz is and has always been a three year old. Liv and Jake need a time out from each other and just general time outs, like sit in a corner and think about what you are doing Missy/Mister, time outs. I'm still kinda ahn, on watching. We are still on these story lines from season one, like can we move on already like if she's going to marry him, let her and put that ish in the background so I can go back to my regularly scheduled programming of political dramas and not sadistic love (?) story from investigation discovery.

Anyways, read enjoy, review...
