Soon after they landed and John met up with Ghost, Alex, and Soap.
"What's the plan?"
"Soap and I will be distractions while you get Kyle, Farah, and Sarah out."
John nodded.
After locating the cell where Kyle, Farah, and Sarah were held. Ghost and Soap went inside while John found a window and broke in. He made it to the cell block,
"Kyle, Farah!" He whispered.
"Captain?" Kyle whispered, jumping up fixing his clothes trying to look presentable.
John found the door to their cell and started trying to break the lock. When it finally broke he threw open the door and walked into the cell. He looked around first seeing Kyle and Farah then who he guessed was his daughter hiding behind Farah.
"Sarah? Where's Lena?"
She looked out from behind Farah, looking unsure. Kyle just shook his head, John took a breath understanding what Kyle said without saying. He threw pistols to them both, Kyle and Farah took them and then looked at each other holding their breath. Sarah looked at her dad and then at Kyle.
"That's your Father." Farah whispered.
"Sarah, you remember we said we were friends of your father, well that's him."
Just then they heard people running up the hallway. John moved to stand in front of Sarah facing the doorway and Kyle stood, in front of Farah as they all aimed their guns at the doorway. Ghost, Alex, and Soap came into the doorway weapons drawn. When they realized who it was they lowered their weapons.
"We need to go, sir." Ghost said.
When Farah and Sarah stood it was obvious that they were too weak to move quickly on their own. So John gently picked up his daughter and Kyle picked up Farah.
"You good Garrick?" Alex asked.
"I'm good." Kyle said as he tightened his hold around Farah.
They all quickly got out of the gulag and back on the helio. Sarah fell asleep and John covered her with a blanket. He looked over at Kyle and Farah and noticed that their interactions were unusually awkward. He went over to them.
"Thank you."
Kyle and Farah looked at him.
"For what?" They both asked.
"For keeping Sarah alive."
Kyle and Farah looked over at Sarah and back at John.
"You're welcome. Even if it did cost more than we bargained for." Farah whispered.
John stared at her and suddenly the awkwardness made sense.
"What happened?"
"They drugged us. Most likely with GHB…so you can guess the rest." Farah said, sadly.
John looked over to Sarah.
"And Sarah."
"Makarov we think." Farah whispered.
They looked over when they heard Sarah's breath pick up and then she started sobbing. John acted on instinct and sat next to Sarah and stroked her hair as he whispered to her over and over,
"It's alright Sarah, you're safe now. I'm your dad and I'll keep you safe."
The rest of the flight everyone else was silent. When they landed the medics took Sarah, Kyle, and Farah off to be checked over. John was keeping a close eye on everything, especially Sarah when Norris came over looking distraught. As Norris walked up to him John asked,
"What's going on Colonel?"
"Laswell."
John looked over to Ghost, He heard everything saying,
"Soap and I have them, you go to Laswell we will update you."
John nodded, following Norris.
"Norris, what's going on?"
"Kate passed out about 2 hours ago. She's unresponsive."
John picked up the pace, and soon he was outside Kate's room. John looked at her through the small window in the door.
"You can go in." Norris whispered.
John went in, quietly closing the door, and slowly walked over to the chair by her bed. Sitting frozen in the chair staring at Kate unconscious in the bed he kept flashing back to how they had parted and how full of life she had been. Finally, he could move and he reached for her hand. Pulling the chair closer to the bed he rested his head on her hand and started praying. He woke up hours later to someone squeezing his hand. He looked over at Kate,
"Hey." He whispered.
"Hey to you, did you get Lena and Sarah?"
"Sarah yes, Lena no."
"I'm sorry."
"Are you okay?" He whispered.
"Baby being stubborn like his dad."
"His?"
"I have a feeling."
A few minutes later the doctor came in and checked Kate over. He spent a few minutes looking at her notes and then turned to Kate,
"I think it's time. We are going to perform a C- Section to ensure the safety of the baby and yourself."
The doctor got Kate ready for surgery, and John got scrubbed in and walked into the room. A nurse directed him to a stool, beside Kate's head. John was so focused on Kate, he didn't even bother looking down, he just kept asking if everything was okay. He finally looked down when he heard a cry. He looked down, tearfully smiling as the doctor held a baby boy.
"John Oliver Price is here." He whispered.
Oliver let out a cry as the doctor passed him to a nurse. A few minutes later, Oliver's sister Avery Bentley arrived. Another nurse came over to get Avery cleaned up.
"The three of them okay?" John asked.
"Oliver and Avery are both healthy, you can tell by their screaming. Mom is fine too. They're just starting the sutures and then they'll remove the pain block and bring her to her room.
"Hey." Kate whispered.
John looked to his left, smiling.
"Hey to you too." He leaned over and kissed her.
An hour later Kate was moved back to their room, the babies were in the same room, for the time being, John was holding Avery and Kate was holding Oliver. John got out of his chair and sat beside Kate. Kate wanted to hold both of them, so John handed Avery to her. John watched her as she held them, Kate laid her body against him.
After a while, he said,
"How about I lay both of them in their cribs and I lay with you, and all of us get some rest?"
"Sounds good to me." Kate whispered and handed each baby to him.
John carefully laid each baby in their crib and then laid with Kate.
"Thank you." John whispered.
"For what?"
"For giving me back a family."
"Thank you for giving me back a family, also."
