Paige , Ralph and Megan were at Walter's house by 9.30am . . Once inside Paige put Megan's bassenet on the kitchen island , as she did Megan woke up and immediatly began to call out Da, Da.

Paige looked into the bassenet and smiled at Megan who uttered Mo, Mo. " We are at daddy's home but he is not here . "

Megan's voice lost it's brightness as she saddly uttered Da, Da.

Ralph walked over to the bassenet and looked at Megan . " Dad as to work so we can have a good life , you do know he is responsible for saving mom and me from a life of misery . Even if he his not here at the moment , i can tell you in all honesty we are always at the front of his mind , even if he is miles away from us . "

The longer Ralph spoke to her more of a smile began to show on her face . As Ralph finished speaking , she put up her small arm towards him and uttered Ral . Ralph reached out and took her little hand into his , a smile on his face .

Paige had watched with pride on her face during all of the conversation .

Just after 10.00am. Paige heard a knock on the door . as she opened the door she saw Agents Thomas, Smilh , Thompson and Mckay .

Agent Thomas nodded and began to speak . " Good morning Miss Dineen , i hope you are well . We are here to remove all the Baltic Holdings paperwork and property . "

" Come in please call me Paige . " Paige told them .

" Yes Paige . " Agent Thomas said as he led the other three Agents into the house .

Paige led them into the kitchen . " This is our son Ralph and of course our daughter Megan . If you have any problems with the computers do not be afraid to ask Ralph for help . He his certainly as good as Walter with computers . " Paige told them her voice full of pride .

" Well thank you very much Paige , but we will only be unpluging them . Any work that needs doing will be carried out at H.Q. . There a couple of alterations to what we were going to do , it will not cause you any inconvenience . We will now be loading everything into the van outside and taking everything back to Homeland . Director Walters asked if you could give the list of customers that you found and also the paperwork for the tax fraud that you uncovered , so he can pass all that information onto the IRS, to see if they can recover any money from the accounts that were left behind . "

Paige gave him a quick smile . " Of course , i have kept it all seperate in the filing cabinet . Would you like a cup of coffee before you start ? "

" Most kind miss, sorry Paige , maybe once we have moved some of the items . " Agent Thomas replied .

" Ok you know were it all is , but i will come with you and give you the documents you want kept seperate , i also have an evelope full of information for you to take back to Scott and Katherine . " With that she turned to Ralph . " Will you keep an eye on your sister till i get back " She then led the agents up to the rooms were all the items had been stored .

Once she had given the paperwork to them , she left them to get on with their work and returned to the kitchen . Megan had fallen asleep Ralph was sitting on a stool watching over her .

After a couple of hours Agent Thomas came to find Paige , who with Ralph was going through more of the artwork .

" We have cleared both the upstairs rooms we just need to check the building outside . "

By now Megan was awake and on hearing strange voices began to utter Mo, Mo. Paige picked her up from her bassenet . " It is alright these are just some people who are moving things out of the house , so we can move in . "

Megan smiled and uttered Da, Da.

" Yes Sweetheart with Da, Da. "

Paige looked at Agent Thomas . " Before you go to the garden would you all like coffee ? "

" That would be most appreciated . " Agen Thomas answered .

" Ok all of you follow me into the kitchen . "

Agent Thomas spoke to Paige as she placed Megan's bassenet on the counter . " This is some kitchen . "

Megan began to utter Ral , Ral. Paige looked at Ralph " It looks like tour sister wants you . "

Ralph grinned as he walked over to Megan and began to talk to her in a very low voice , which was causing Megan to giggle .

Once they had finished their coffee , Ralph took them over to the garden building . Paige stayed behind , she first phoned Walter as she would not be meeting him for lunch , she just needed to hear his voice , she put the phone by Megan so Walter coould talk to her , the smile on her face grew and she kept repeating Da, Da. Walter told her he was working through his lunch hour so he could leave early .

She had by now put the phone on speaker , so Megan could listen to all the conversation . All the time the conversation went on Megan began to kick her legs and throw her arms around while all the time uttering DA, Da, Da, Mo , Mo , Mo.

Paige had not realized how long she had been speaking to Walter ,as Ralph followed by the agents came back into the kitchen . She told Walter to hang on for a minute as she turned to Agent Thomas .

" Thank you Paige , we have taken everything we need , we will be going now . Have a good day Agent Thomas told her .

Ralph took them to the front door . Paige was still holding her phone and Walter was listening in . Once the Agents and Ralph left Walter spoke again .

" How long would it take you to get over to the office ? "

" Why . " Was all Paige could reply .

" Well i thought i could take us all to our onsite restaurant for lunch , they serve food until until 4.00pm . " Walter replied .

" I need to change Megan , it is now 12.40pm. , we should be there around 1.30pm. . "

" Good come to reception and ask for me and i will come down and meet you . I will warn them you are coming . "

" Ok , Bye see you later . " Paige disconnected the call . Shouted to Ralph she was going to feed and change Megan , then were all going to have lunch with dad .

Ralph rushed back into the kitchen a big smile on his face . " Why are you still here then ? " He asked a laugh in his voice .

Just after 1.30pm. Paige parked up on the carpark for Richard's offices .

As the little family walked into reception they saw Walter entering from another door smiles appeared on every on everyone's faces . Walter led them down to the resturant , the food was served buffet style .

Walter put a plate for himself and Paige on a tray as she was carrying the bassenet . Ralph put a plate on his own tray . Paige selected , Chicken salad, which was made up for her by one of the servers behind the the counter . Walter went for a portion of mac 'n cheese with a small amount of side salad . Ralph went for a portion of lasagne with a portion of French fries . By the time they reached the cashier all the servers had moved to the same area .

The cashier a big smile on her face . " It is so good to see you again Mr O' Brian , it as been some time . Is this your beautiful family ? "

Walter his face full of pride . " Yes this is my financee Paige , our son Ralph and our little princess Megan Louise . "

All of the servers came from behind the counter to see the little princess in the bassenet . There was plenty of ooh's and har's and also a lot of " She is beautiful ." At the noise and all the new faces Megan began to utter Da, Da, Mo , Mo, and kicked her legs about .

" How old is she ? " Asked the cashier .

Paige smiling answered . " Coming up to four months old . "

" She seems very advanced for her age . " The cashier replied .

" That's our girl . " Paige and Walter said together . Which caused a a gentle laugh through the group .

Everyone went back to their stations and Walter paid for the food , then made their way over to an empty table . The meal was eaten in comparative silence , Walter would occasionally talk into the bassenet , each time he did a smile broke out on Megan's face . Once the meal was finished Walte turned to Paige .

" Everything go well this morning ? "

" No problem at all , i gave Agent Thomas all the information we collected yesterday . There was a change , all the items have been taken to Homeland and not our garden building . " Paige explained .

" Did they say why ? " Walter questioned .

" No and i did not ask , i was just glad to get rid of all that stuff so we could start make arrangements to move in . "

They sat talking for about fifteen minutes , during which time Walter had picked Megan up and would talk to her as she lay in total comfort in his arms . A few of the servers seemed to have a lot of jobs on the customer side of the counter , strangely all needed to pass close to that table were Walter and his family were sitting .

After about fifteen minutes Walter placed Megan back into her bassenet , much to her dismay . " It is alright little princess Da , Da as to go back to work , i will see you when i get home tonight . "

A small smile appeared on Megan's as she uttered Da, Da .

Walter picked up the bassenet and led Paige and Ralph back to the carpark . Once Ralph and Megan were safe in the car , Walter pulled pulled Paige into a hug and planted a kiss on her lips , Paige immediatly responded .

Once the kiss was broken Walter said . " I should be back at the house by 6.30pm . . Will that be ok ? "

" Of course i can start to look around the rooms and decide what we can do to make the house ours . "

Walter smiled . " i do have a couple of ideas i would like to discuss with you . "

" I cannot wait , but i suppose i will have to wait until this evening . " .

Walter just smiled , gave her a quick kiss on the cheek , turned and walked back to the office . Paige watched until he opened the door , turned and waved at her . She returned the wave then got in the car and drove off .

Homeland H.Q.

During the morning Kathrine and Scott were making plans to raid the four companies . "Three were not a problem , but the fourth one Jake Summers , they are a corporation running multiple construction companies . So i can not see why they would be paying Carlson , so i am not sure just how to word the warrent . I was wondering what you thought ." Katherine asked a somewhat confused look on her face .

Scott looked very thoughtful and for a few minutes he did not speak . Eventually he looked straight at Katherine . " Well does anything seem strange in the information the agents came up with during their internet search ? "

" Nothing that i can see , but i do not really know them that well , so i cannot be sure how good they are . "

Scott gave a small laugh . " I suppose if your marker is Walter everyone else must seem like dummys . "

A smile came on Katherine's face . " No i would never use Walter as a marker he is a league of his own , closely followed by Ralph . But when it comes to internet research i use Paige as my marker . "

" You seem to have a lot of faith in both Paige and Walter . " Scott replied .

" I just wish i still had them working for Homeland , what they achieved over a four year period with other members of Scorpion was unbelievable . "

" What happened ? "

" It is to big a story to tell you at the moment, but basically miscomunication and love . I am certain they will never come back to Homeland even on a consultancy basis . They are only helping now because of what they found in Walter's house . They just want to get on with their lives "

" Didn't Walter say Paige had done research on the building contractor , do you think she may have found something my guys may have missed . " Scott asked with a little bit of anticipation in his voice .

" I am not sure , but after the way she was treated by Agent Thomas the first time they met , she probably threw the information away . " As she spoke she checked her watch , it was 12.30pm . " I am sure by now she is having lunch with Walter , then she will be fetching Ralph from school . I will ring her around 5.00pm. to see if she still as her research . "

Scott smiled . " Sounds like a plan , i suggest we go check on the other three companies we do have information on . You can lead one team , Cabe another and i will take the third team .Each team will also have one each of Rusty's team plus one Washington Agent .

We should all meet in the garage at 1.30pm . We still have Richards cars so can you use your SUV for your team .

" That will not be a problem . " Katherine said .

" Ok i will leave instructions for Agent Thomas to transfer everything that as been picked up from Walter's house into one of the cells and again leave one of our agents with the two already there , " He turned to Katherine . " I presume there are always Agents on duty there , even without prisoners . "

" Yes that is the protacol , although at times we will use security people instead of Agents if the workload is heavy . " Katherine explained .

" Good , i will also get him to check out how LAPD are doing with the prisoners we delivered to them on Saturday . "

Before he had a chance to leave for the garage , Agent Thomas came to find him to inform the van was inside the garage . Scott told him they were going out to check three of the companies and had left instructions for the four of them in his office he was using .

" Yes sir . " Agent Thomas replied .

With that Scott made his way down to the garage .

At 1.30pm the three teams left the garage and made their way to their designated targets . This time all three teams got results they were after . Katherine's team found that the company they visited , the owner admitted almost immediatly he was questioned that he was importing blood diamonds hidden inside consigments of coffee from Angola . He also admitted Carlson put pressure on him after a small raid on his company . Katherine passed him onto the LAPD to keep in their cells for the time being .

Cabe's team had similar luck as Katherine . It was a company that provided animals for the movie industry , almost any form of animal , from elephants down to small insects . However as a sideline they would also import , for the right price , creatures , most of which were on the endanged list , for private clients who do not always have the necessary permits to keep certain types of animals . Once the owner was told of Carlson's death and payments to him from them over a period of time . He quickly filled them in on all the details . Again it was arranged for LAPD to keep him in custody .

Scott had a little more difficulty , that was when Simone stepped into the interigation , with a little pressure from her the owner admitted to being a human trafficing business , with the cover of a haulage business . Carlson was keeping him informed on what was going on with investigations that involved the FBI and Homeland . This time Scott bought the owner a Chinese man man by the name of Hadyu Zhang , for questioning in conjuction with the FBI . All three teams were back in the garage by 5.30pm . Hadyu was taken straight down to the cell block .

Katherine went to her office and phoned Paige .

" Good evening Katherine how can i help you ? "

" A favour , do you still have your information you collected on from the internet on Jake Summers ? "

" Yes , of course . Why ? "

" I would like to see if you found more than the Agents have . "

" Ok , i can drop them into reception in the morning . "

" No please ask for me when you arrive , i want to see the ring and Megan as well if i can . "

" Ok , i can do that and i am sure Megan would love to see you . I should be there before 10.00am .

" Thank you Paige i will see you then . "

Walter's house

Paige put the phone down from Katherine's call and turned to Ralph " Dad should be home in about forty five minutes , i hope he will be happy with these sandwiches we picked up from the store . I cannot wait to do a big food shop and start cooking for the two of you in this beautiful kitchen . "

Ralph smiled as he answered . " I cannot wait just to move in and make us feel like a real family , i know dad as been staying over at night , but it still seems he his just visiting . Once we all move into here i think it will just seem even more real . "

Paige pulled him into a hug and quietly said to him . " I know what you mean every night around 5.40pm i begin to worry he will not turn up ,i know it is silly and Ann as told me a few times that Walter is here to stay . Even Walter keeps assuring me , but with what as gone on in my life i still have these feelings , although they are getting better . I am sure once we move in here they will go altogether . "

She held him in a hug , which he was returning until Megan made her presence know by shouting Da, Da. Paige released Ralph and walked over to Megan in her bassenet and gently picked her up . " Oh, oh , i think you need a clean diaper , let's go to daddy;s bedroom and i will clean you up and feed you . "

A smile appeared on Megan's face as she uttered MO, MO.

Paige turned to Ralph . " If dad comes back before i am back down , tell him i will not be long ." As she walked out of the room she realized she had used th word dad instead of Walter when talking to Ralph and decided she liked the sound of it .

Walter arrived at 6.30pm . and was greeted by Ralph who gave him a hug . " Were is your mom ? "

" Upstairs , feeding Megan , she should be down soon . Ralph replied .

As he finished speaking , Paige carrying Megan in her arms , who immediatly began to shout Da, Da. .Came into the kitchen.

Paige walked over to Walter and managed to give him a quick kiss , before the wriggerling Megan made her unsafe to hold . " Whoa , slow down little girl , you want to go to daddy . " Paige quitely spoke to her while trying to calm her down . Da, Da, Megan kept shouting .

Paige passed Megan to Walter who gently cradled her in his arms , she immediatly became calm and smiled . Both Paige and Ralph had big smiles on their faces as they watched Walter and Megan .

After about ten minutes Walter gently spoke to Megan " Ok, little princess , i need to go wash up and get my clothes for tomorrow sorted out , then we can be fed . "

Megan gave a little giggle as Walter put her in the bassenet , the smile began to disappear . " I will be back soon . Would you like Ralph to talk to you ? "

The smile began to come back on her face as she uttered Ral . Walter looked across at Ralph who nodded back to him and walked over to Megan . Once he was close enough he put his hand towards Megan who with one of her tiny hands took hold of one of the fingers on his hand and uttered Ral .

Ralph smiled . " Do you want me to tell you some more stories of what mommy and daddy did when they were part of Scorpion ? "

Megan's smile grew bigger and she uttered Mo,Mo, Da, DA .

Walter walked over to Paige , pulled her into a hug and planted a kiss on her lips who returned it passionatly . After a couple of minutes they broke the kiss . Walter pulled back a little and quietly spoke to Paige .

" After today and all that material as been removed from the house , i am certain all our dealings with Homeland are now complete . So we can look forward to a danger free and happy life together . "

Paige smiled . " I have got just one more more job to do for Homeland . "

Walter looked both surprised and at the same time confused . " Why ? " He asked .

" Katherine phoned me not long before you came home , she wants the information i found out about Jake Summers Construction . I am going to drop them off at their office in the morning . She also wants to see the ring and Megan. Then we can consider our connection to Homeland finished . "

Walter released Paige and gently kissed her on the cheek . " Let's hope so " He said as he turned to go upstairs to change into some casual wear and sort his clothes out for the next day .
