"Have you called Baron?", Max asked Mike.
"That's also why I had to come and talk to you. We can't find him. Hunter thinks Lana got to him already. We've tried keeping your lives on the down low, but Baron and Carmella move around a lot", Mike said.
"How long have you been watching us?", Max asked pissed.
"Since you gave up being an agent. Hunter felt bad and he wanted to make sure Lana didn't come after you guys. Especially with you pregnant again, he wanted you to feel safe.", Mike said.
Max rolled her eyes.
"That's why we moved", Max said.
"Yeah, we lost you guys after you moved, but Sami gave us your new address", Mike said.
"I'll find Baron. Give me two days and remind me to kill Sami", Max said.
Roman chuckled. Mike nodded. He set files down on the table and left the laptop.
"Glad to have you back Agent Garcia. Or is it Reigns?", Mike asked.
"Garcia", Max said.
Mike nodded.
"See you back at the office", he said, before leaving.
Max grabbed a paper and wrote something down. Roman looked over her shoulder at it.
Looking for Man:
Loves Applebees, long walks on the beach, and sunset dinners
"Remind me to fax that tomorrow morning. The sooner they put that in the paper, the better", Max said.
"Because you aren't married right.", Roman said.
She smiled and kissed him.
"Its how Baron and I agreed to find each other without anyone knowing.", Max said.
Roman nodded.
"Are you sure about this?", Max asked him.
Roman nodded.
"The kids will be fine with me, my parents can watch them while I'm at work", Roman said.
"Great. Once they find out I'm going back to work, they are going to hate me even more now", Max said.
Roman rubbed her arms.
"But I will never stop loving you, that is more important", Roman said.
After the movie finished, Max took Raiden to bed and Roman took Amara. She poked her head into her daughter's room. Roman was reading to her. She walked in and sat beside her.
"Mara, mommy has to go back to work, so you and Raiden will be staying with grandpa and grandma for a few days, then with nana and papa", Max said.
"How long will you be gone?", her daughter asked.
"Hopefully not too long baby. I am going to miss you, so much my sweet girl. I need you to take care of daddy and baby brother. Ok. Can you do that more me?", Max asked.
She nodded.
"You remember everything I taught you?", Max asked her.
She nodded. She kissed Amara's head.
"Good. Now sleep, we all have a long day tomorrow", Max said.
Roman and Max walked out of their daughter's room and into theirs. He wrapped his arms around his wife.
"You are good at what you do. You will come home to me and our kids.", Roman whispered.
Max nodded. He released her and climbed into bed. She removed her pants and walked over to him, straddling him. His hands settled on her hips.
"I need you to do something for me", she said.
He was afraid to nod, but he did.
"If anything and I mean anything happens to me. You are not allowed to get remarried.", Max said.
Roman laughed.
"Understood", Roman said, squeezing his wife's hips.
"I want you to tell our kids about how much I love them, and that I did what I did to protect them. You have to keep going. Don't forget to switch grandparent visitations every weekend. If you ever need help, ask my sisters, they will help you I know they will.", he stopped her.
"I don't understand why you're telling me this. You are coming home", Roman said.
"But if I don't", he stopped her and sat up.
"Stop.", he sighed.
She placed her hands against his cheeks.
"I love you. I never knew what I was missing till I meet you.", she said.
"Please stop talking this way. Your ass is coming home to me because if you don't I will fly to wherever your ass is and bring you back", Roman said.
She laughed softly.
"I love you too", he replied.
He turned them over.
"We can do that thing you like tonight.", she said.
He smiled.
"Yes", he said.
The next morning, she walked into their home office while Roman was getting ready for work. Walking inside the walk in closet. She opened the huge case that held her things. Pulling out her gun and files. Packing her vest and boots in her bag.
Roman was fixing his tie when he got downstairs. Max had her bags by the door.
"Have you heard from Baron yet?", he asked.
"No, but I should be soon", she said, checking to see if they posted her ad yet.
"I don't want you going without Baron", Roman said.
She kissed his cheek.
"Yes sir", Max said.
"Hey, would you mind dropping off the kids at my parents? I just got a text from Sasha, we have a meeting", Roman said.
"Me? You want me to drop them off?", Max asked.
Roman smirked.
"It will be fine", he said, kissing her forehead.
Max kissed him goodbye before getting the kids bags ready. She strapped them into their seats and drove to his parents house. His mom was waiting at the door. Max hoped she didn't say anything, she didn't need it this early in the morning.
She handed Patricia her son. Sika came out to take the bags.
"Roman will pick them up after he gets out of work. He will text you if something comes up and will be late", Max said.
His mom just nodded. Amara looked up at her mom and Max bent down to her level.
"I will see you soon baby. I love you, be good for grandma and grandpa, ok.", Max said.
Amara nodded and had pout on her face. Max pulled her daughter in and hugged her tight. Amara's little arms went around her neck.
"I love you too mommy", Amara said.
"Remember what I said ok", Max whispered.
Amara nodded against her shoulder. She kissed the side of her daughter's head. She released her and she ran inside. Max stood and wiped her tears. She looked at Patricia and Sika.
"I know you two hate me. I lied and, I put your son in danger. There will never be anything I could say to make that right. I just need to apologize right now again, I don't want to leave without saying it. I am so sorry, I hope one day you can forgive me. I just ask that you help him if anything happens", Max said.
Every time she saw them she apologized. Every time they ignored her, it hurt. It was one of the reasons why Roman didn't like going over to his parents house for Sunday dinners. He knew how uncomfortable it was for his wife, but she still insisted on going and pushed him to go.
"He's going to try to push you away, but, don't let him. He won't admit it, but he will need help", Max said.
She turned on her heels and walked back to her car.
"Max", Sika called after her.
She turned to look at him.
"Please take care of yourself. Come home to them", he said.
She sent him a small smile and nodded. Driving away, knowing her kids were in good hands. She drove to the beach and parked. Walking down the pier, she found him leaning against the rail, his arms crossed over his chest, with sunglasses on. He had cut his hair.
"Well shit, your head looks way smaller with that haircut", Max said.
He laughed and walked over to her, hugging her.
"Didn't miss you one bit", he replied.
They walked down the pier a bit.
"So, the bat signal", he said.
She pulled her phone out and showed him the video that Mike showed her. He stopped.
"Shit. They called us in", he said.
She nodded.
"If you say no, then we will both go home and forget this. They can handle it without us", Max said.
"You know damn well they can't, not without us", he said.
"So?", she asked.
"I've got my gear packed up. Lets call Sami", Baron said.
Max nodded.
Roman was at his desk. He had to finish his report, but he couldn't take his mind off his wife. He now regretted encouraging her to go.
"Earth to Reigns", Sasha said, waving her hand in front of his face.
He shook his head and wiped his eyes before looking back at her.
"Sorry, I just, was thinking about something", he said.
"Does this have anything to do with agents being called in? I thought Max quit", she said.
"She did, but they called her. She wasn't going to go, but I encouraged her to do so and now I regret it", he said.
She nodded.
"Bayley told me how much Baron and Max are needed. Jobs take longer to do. She doesn't trust anyone with her life the way she did with Baron and Max", Sasha said.
"I need my wife more. She's not staying with them", Roman said.
Sasha chuckled.
"Relax Reigns, I know", she said.
"Sorry, it just worries me that she's going to fall in love with her work again and, forgets she has a family", he said.
"You have two beautiful kids together, if she forgets about them, she didn't deserve you or them to begin with. Besides, if you asked me, she would pick you three every time", Sasha said.
He nodded.
After work, he drove to his parents house to pick his kids up. He walked into their home when his phone rang. It was an unknown number.
"Hello", he answered.
"I love the way you answer your phone", his wife's voice came through.
He smiled.
"How was it?", he asked.
"Haven't gone in yet. Baron and I are going over some things Sami sent us. Rewatching the video, see if there are any giveaways", Max said.
"Want to talk to Amara, I just came to pick them up", he said.
"Yes. Please", Max said excited.
Roman smiled, he handed the phone to his daughter.
"Its mommy", he said to her.
His daughter had a huge smile on her face as she spoke to her mom about what she did with her grandparents and cousins. Roman loved the way his daughter's eyes lit up whenever she spoke to Max, even in person.
"Raiden just got up from his nap", his mom said.
He took his son in his arms and kissed the side of his head.
"Hey buddy", he said.
His dad handed him the kids bags. Amara started giggling and he smiled.
"Who is she talking to?", his mom asked.
"Her mother", he said.
She nodded.
"Thanks again for helping us out. It means a lot to me and Max", Roman said.
"Of course, we love having our grandkids over. You too", his mom said.
"Everyone except Max, right", he said.
His mom didn't say anything. He sighed and shook his head.
"Daddy, mommy has to go but she wants to say goodbye", Amara said.
"Amara, come and say goodbye to grandma and grandpa", he said.
Amara walked over to them.
"I have to go mommy, daddy and I are leaving. I love you", she said.
"I love you too baby", Max replied.
Roman took the phone back.
"Hey babe, I love you, call back when you can", Roman said.
"I will. I love you too, tell your parents thank you from me", she said.
"I will love", he said.
He put his phone away.
"She says thank you", Roman said.
"If she wants to call here, she can. You know, if she wants to check in on the kids", his dad said.
Roma nodded.
"I'll tell her. I'm sure she would love that", he said.
"If she calls you tonight, tell her we forgive her", his mom suddenly said.
Roman smiled.
"She would love to hear that too", he said.
"Get home safe", his dad said as they walked him to his car.
