Two years has past. Parker walks into her father's office.
"You wanted to see."
"Angel, you are taking vacation."
"I am?" she asked.
"Yes, I feel you need some time away from here."
"I am fine, daddy."
"It is not a request. You are to leave this afternoon."
"Daddy, I am not going anywhere." she said in a pissed off mood.
"Yes, you are. I don't care where you go just get away from
here. Don't even think about this place. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" she said as she stormed out.
Parker walks into Sydney's office.
"Can you believe that man?" she blurred out.
"What man?" he asked.
"My father."
"What happen?"
"He demands I take a vacation!"
"Actually, that is not a bad idea."
"Don't tell me YOU agree with him!"
Sydney hands her a plane ticket and says, "When you get to
the airport a rental car will be waiting for you. There will
also be a package for you. It will tell you were to go."
"What?" Parker replied as she looked at the ticket. "Don't
tell me you are responable for this? Who is Miss Gibson?"
He didn't say a word. Then responded, "You are. You will have
a good time. Trust me. This is time for you to spend with your
daughter. Take advantage of it."
"Syd, you are behind this aren't you?" she said again.
"Not actually. Now, go. Your plane leaves in three hours."
"Okay, I'm going." she said as she walked out.
Parker and Catherine gets off the plane in New Mexico. She
goes to get the rental car. She opens the package and sees
directions to house in the moutains. When she gets there she
goes to the door and Jarod opens it.
"You!"
"What?" he asked.
"Why didn't you just tell me?"
"Because if your father demanded a vacation then no one would
follow you." he said as he gave her a kiss. Catherine quickly
said, "Daddy." He took Catherine from her arms and they went
in the house.
"I missed you. Is it a shame that I wanted to be with my wife
and daughter in private?"
"I guess not." she said as she gave him a kiss. "Tell me
something, who was in charge of this vacation, you or Sydney?"
"Well, Sydney helped." he replied.
Jarod walked down the hall with his daughter. Parker followed
him. He stopped in a room. He sat her down and said, "I will
bring your things in." He left Parker and Catherine in the room.
He came back. He carried their things into the room and said,
"It is time for you to relax." He rubbed her back. She loosen up.
Catherine replied, "Daddy." and held out her little arms.
Jarod and Parker sat on the floor with her and watched her
play. After a little while, Jarod took his wife's hand and
lead her outside. He took her to the hammock that over looked
the moutains. He laid down with Parker beside him. Catherine
sat between them.
"Isn't it beautiful out here?"
"Yes, it is." she answered.
Catherine began to rub her eyes. "It looks like someone is
getting sleepy." Jarod replied.
"I think the flight wore her out."
Jarod took his daughter and held your tight. "I have missed
her some much."
Parker rubbed her daughter's head and gave her a kiss. Then
she looked over at Jarod. "Jarod, I have been thinking about
something."
"What?" he answered her softly.
"I want another a baby." she said as she held his hand.
Jarod looked at his wife and said, "I can help you with that."
He gave her a kiss. "When do you want to start?"
She kissed him again and said, "Now."
"I can arrange that." he quickly said. It wasn't long
Catherine was out like a light. They carefully got up and
walked in the house. Parker took Catherine from Jarod and
laid her down on the bed. She walked back into the den. Jarod
started a fire. He had some blankets spead out on the floor.
She walked over to him and whispered, "I love you." Then she
gave him a kiss. He pulled her around to him and kissed her
lips. She looked him in the eyes and kissed him slowly. Then
ran her tongue down his neck and unbuttoned his shirt. Jarod
fell back to the floor and Parker climbed on top of him. She
teased him with her tongue by running her it over his nipples.
With his hands on her body he pulled her clothes
off one by one. He rolled her over and kissed her breast. Then
kissed her lips again. She dug her nails into his
back as he moved back and forth on her. It wasn't long until they
laid beside each other with exhaustion. He held her tight
before he fell asleep.
Sometime in the middle of the evening, Catherine got up,
crying. Parker heard her and went in to check on her.
Catherine had her hands held out toward her mother. Parker
took her in her arms. "Daddy." she said with tears rolling
down her face.
"Daddy is in here." Parker replied as she walked back toward
the den.
She sat down on the blanket and Catherine crawled over to
him. She laid her head down on his chest and he woke up.
"What's wrong?" he asked Catherine has her tears fell on him.
"Daddy, love you." she replied.
"I love you too." he responded. He picked her up and gave her
a hug. She rubbed her eyes. Then she wanted her mother. Parker
took her back and she stayed with her for a short
while before returning to her father.
"She's sleepy but doesn't want to get still."
"She is scared you won't be here when she wakes up." Parker
replied.
"I know. I have to leave a lot. It isn't fair for her or you."
Catherine laid her head on Jarod's chest and fell asleep.
Parker watched her sleep and said, "Do you want me to lay her
down?"
"No, I want to hold her. Come here."
Parker moved closer to Jarod and he put his arm around her.
"There is room for you to lay your head, if you want." he
said softly.
Parker put her head on his shoulder and watched Catherine's
hands hold onto her father. It wasn't long she fell asleep
too. Jarod sat against the couch and held his favorite girls
tight.
The next morning they walked around outside and sat on the
porch that over looked the trees. The time past fast. It
wasn't long until she had to go back to Blue Cove.
Another year had past. Parker is sitting in her office. She
ties a tourniquet on her arm and cleans it with alcohol.
Broots walks in about the time she sticks the needle in her
arm.
"What are you doing?" he asked as he turns his head.
"Drawing blood. What does it look like I am doing and why
didn't you knock?" she said hasty.
"I'm...I'm sorry." he mummed as he turned competely around.
"Let me know when you are finished."
She popped the tourniquet and putted the needle out. "I'm
glad you stopped by. I need you to run this to the lab."
"For what?" he said as he turned slowly around.
"I need a pregnacy test and if it is postive, a qualative."
She puts an X on the tube and hands it to him.
Broots takes the tube and turns to walk out. "Oh, I forgot.
You dad is back."
"Thanks."
Parker walks to his office with some folders in her hands.
"Angel, what a surprise?"
"Daddy." she says as she lays the folders down on his desk.
"What is this?" he asked.
"My last report on Jarod. You wanted it when I got through."
"Oh, yes."
He looks through the file and says, "You let him get away again."
"No, daddy. He wasn't there. It was a false alarm."
"I am getting tired of these false alarms. You don't bring
him this time, someone else will."
"Are you threating me?"
"No, Angel. He has been out there too long. It is time for
him to come home."
"Yes, daddy." she said coldly. She picks up the folders and
walks out.
Sydney sees her going to her office. "What is it?"
"What is what?" she asked hatefully.
"That is bothering you."
"Nothing."
"Don't tell that. I know you better than anyone."
"My father wants me to bring Jarod in soon or someone else will."
"I guess we will have to work on that. Don't worry, nobody is
bring him in." Sydney said as he tried to comfort her.
Broots walks back in with a folder. "This is for you." he said
as he hands it to her.
"Thanks, Broots." She opens the folder and looks at the test
results. "I have to go. Jarod is coming in tonight. I want to
be there."
"Don't worry, Parker. I will help you." Sydney said as she
gathered up her things and headed for the door.
"Thanks, Syd." she replied out the door.
Parker gets home and pulls out the folders. She opens one and
starts to read it. "This is not mine." she replied to herself.
She continues reading. "That Baster!" she replies angrly.
It is not long Jarod walks in. "Hey, I missed you. Where is
Catherine?" he asked.
"She's her room."
Jarod walks in there and she sees him."Daddy."
He picks her up and walks back in the livingroom. Parker is
sitting on couch with smoke arising from her. "What's wrong?"
he asked softly.
"This!" she says as she throws him the folder.
He take it and begins to read. "Why is he keeping a file on
our daughter?"
"I don't know but I tend to find out." Parker replied as she
stood up and headed for the kitchen. Jarod read on and said,
"Honey, have you read all of this?"
"No, I didn't get very far. Why?"
"He tends to run test on her. He thinks she is a pretender."
"I am going to kill him." she replied angrly.
"No, you not. I am going to do it for you." he gets up and
hands Catherine to Parker. He heads out the door.
"Jarod, no!" she said as she went after him. It was too late.
He was gone. She calls Sydney.
"Syd, can you watch Catherine?"
"Yeah, I would love to."
"I will bring her by in a few minutes."
Parker drops Catherine off at Sydney's and heads to her
father's. When she gets there. She pulls her gun and kicks
the door down. She sees Jarod standing there face to face
with her father.
"Angel, good now bring him in." her father replied.
She walks over to Jarod and say, "Jarod, don't."
Mr. Parker looks at his daughter and says, "What are you
doing? You are suppose to bring him in."
Jarod says, "If I turn myself in, will you leave Catherine
alone?"
"What are you talking about?" Mr. Parker asked.
"Don't play stupid with me, Daddy. I saw the file."
"Will you?" Jarod asked again.
"Jarod, you are not going back." Parker replied.
"What?" Mr. Parker asked.
"That's right, Daddy. Jarod is not returning to the Centre."
"Why not?"
"Because he is Catehrine's father and my husband!" she said
sternfully.
"So this is why you won't bring him in."
"Daddy, he is not going back. You wanted Catherine to have a
father. I told you she has one. Do you want to take him away
from her?"
"No, but why Jarod?"
"Because he understands me. He is always there for me unlike
you."
Jarod doesn't move. He just stands there looking at Mr.
Parker. "Jarod, let's go home." Parker replies as she lows
her gun.
"Not yet. He hasn't answered by question." Jarod said to his
wife.
"Are you going to leave her alone?" he asked Mr. Parker again.
"Yes, she doesn't qualify anyway."
"What are you talking about?" Parker asked confused.
"A male is needed not a female. Why do you think you had a
normal life?" Mr. Parker answered.
Parker could hardly call it a normal life but compared to
Jarod's it was. "You baster! You mean to tell me you would do
this to your own grandchild?"
"Angel, tell me why I should leave Jarod alone? Maybe you
should be on the run too. I would be careful if I was you."
"I am not afraid of you or anyone else and you WILL leave him
alone because he haven't seen his second child yet."
"What?" they both say at the same time.
Jarod turns to Parker and says, "You're pregnant."
"Yes, about five weeks."
Jarod hugged his wife and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was going to but you left in a hurry."
"When did you find out?" he asked her.
"Today."
Mr. Parker just stood there not knowing what to do or say.
"Daddy, you have to keep this secret. I know you can. You
keep everything else a secret. You don't want your
grandchildren to grow up with one parent like I did. Do you?"
she glared at him when she said that. He knew what she was
talking about.
Mr. Parker said softly, "Yeah." He knew he had a secret
weapon for another experiment if he needed it. 'Maybe this one
is a boy.' he thought to himself.
Parker turned to Jarod and said, "Let's go home."
Jarod took her hand and lead her toward the door. Before he
opened it he looked at his wife and said, "I have to tell you
something."
"Can it wait til we are alone?"
"No."
"What?"
"I love you. I would do anything to protect you and my family."
"I know you would. I love you too." she said as she kissed
his lips.
Mr. Parker knew his daughter was happy. He couldn't stand it.
She fell in love with the one person he tried to keep her away
from but deep down he knew it would turn out this
way. She never listened to what he tried to tell her and he
knew that.
Parker and Jarod leave to pick up Catherine. They arrive at
home and Parker holds her daughter tight. "I never want to let
her go."
"I know. I feel the same about you and her."
As they lay in bed Parker holds on to Catherine as she sleeps.
Jarod holds them both tight in his arms.
"You know we should leave town. Never look back."
"I know but what about Sydney? I couldn't leave him."
"We can take him with us." Jarod says softly in her ear.
Parker lays Catherine down on the bed beside them. She turns
to face Jarod and says, "Make love to me." She kisses his lips.
Jarod touches her face as she looks into his eyes. He pulls
her close to him and gives her a kiss. Then he rolls her over
til where he is laying gently on her body. She relaxes as he
touches her. She gently pulls him closer and closer to her.
She gives him a kiss before her hands wonder over his body. He
removes her clothing with every soft and gentle touch.
Then he slides back onto top of her. She kisses his chest
while he gently glides back and forth. His tongue runs down
to her stomach. He gives her kiss and then back to her chest.
He touches her soft breast with his hand and kisses her hard
nipple. Then his tongue wonders up her neck and into her
mouth. After a while Jarod falls asleep with his wife chest
next to his back. She has her arms around him, holding him
tight.
Parker wakes to the phone ringing. She tries to reach for it
without waking Catherine.
"What!"
"Miss Parker, it's me Broots."
"What did you want, Broots? Do have any idea what time it is?"
"Yes, I do. I think you will want to know this."
"Well, what is it?"
"I just got word that Raines is sending us on a lead to Jarod.
He says he was spotted in Florida."
"Broots, he is here. How can we chase him if he is here?"
"I know but Raines says we are to leave now. What are we
going to do?"
"Give me an hour and I will meet you at the Centre. We will
talk about it then. Don't make any plans to leave yet. Do you
hear me Broots?"
"Yeah, I hear you."
She hangs up the phone. Jarod rolls over and says, "What was
that about?"
"That was Broots. Raines is sending us on a trip to bring you
back."
"But I am hear."
"I know that."
"You can't go. It is a trap. I can feel it."
"I'm not going anywhere but the Centre right now. Keep the
bed warm." she replies as she gives him a kiss and gets up.
Jarod watches her dress and says, "Where am I?"
"In Florida. Why?"
"Because I sat up a fake lead but not to Florida."
"Well, I will be back soon." she says as she gives him another
kiss and bends down to kiss Catherine.
Parker arrives at the Centre. "Okay, Broots what is this about?"
"I don't know. Raines came in this morning and said Jarod was
spotted in Floida. We are to leave imediately."
"I'll be back."
"Where are you going?"
"To see daddy. Stay here. Does Syd know about this?"
"Yeah, I called him. He should be here shortly."
Parker walks out and goes to her father's office.
"Angel, I glad to see you this morning."
"Daddy, what is this about a lead on Jarod?"
"Oh, Raines told me he was spotted in Florida."
"Daddy, we both know where he is."
"I know but did you want me to tell Raines that my daughter
is hiding him from the Centre? I thought you wanted me to
keep this a secret.
"I do daddy....but."
"Well, I am, Angel. Trust me."
'Trust you.Yeah, right.' she thought. "Okay, daddy we will do
this your way. I will go to Florida but we both know he won't
be there." she turns to leave when Mr. Parker says, "Good girl.
Listen to your daddy and everything will be fine."
She walks out and runs into Sydney. "What's going on, Parker?"
"I don't know, Syd. For some reason, they want us gone. What
am I going to do?"
"You don't think Raines will go to your house and get him
while we are gone, do you?"
"I don't know but I can't take the chance of not going. I have
to protect him for Catherine's sake and the baby's."
"Your pregnant."
