Bonus Chapter-Alexander's POV

Stuffing my phone into my pocket I sigh entering the bedroom, Penny was propped up on the headboard, work on her lap, she was getting ready to present a new art piece at the museum.

"I know that sigh," Penny says with a small smile, she doesn't look up from her laptop. I flop onto the bed.

"I'm being called in," I sigh rubbing my jaw. Penny sighs beside me. I move up and lean forward, placing a kiss on her cheek and then her ear.

"I'll be back before you know it,"

"Well don't be reckless," She eyes me and I smile.

"I'd never, I gotta meet you at the alter anyways," I wink and she smiles. "Hey," I say and she turns to me. "I love you."

She flashes me a beautiful smile, "I love you too," she nods and I lean forward kissing her. I pull away and move off the bed, grabbing whatever I needed.

"I'm gonna go kiss Addie, I'll be back," I tell my fiancée as I adjust my watch and she nods. Slowly pushing Addie's door open, her night light providing dim light in her room.

My daughter was practically falling out of the bed as I approached her, I smiled and held in a laugh. She's a more reckless sleeper than her mother. Slowly lifting Addie back into her bed and tucking her underneath the covers, I crouch down and brush the hair out of her face.

She had my chocolate brown locks and her mother's fiery personality but definitely didn't have either of our eyes, she had blue ones. I smile as I caress her cheek, I lean forward and kiss the top of her head "daddy loves you, Addie," I whisper before standing up and closing her bedroom door behind me.

I shove my wallet into my back pocket as Penny hands me my go bag, "be careful," Penny sighs and I nod.

"I'll text you when I get to Philly," I tell her pulling her closer to me. She nods but bites her lip.

I grab her chin, "hey," I say softly. "I'll be okay," I assure her.

"I know I just have this anxiety and fear every time you walk out of that door with your gun strapped to your hip," she confesses. This wasn't the first time she had told me this.

"I know baby," I say, "I know and I wish I could take that fear and anxiety but this is who I am," I tell her.

"I know and I love that about you but I still can't help but worry,"

"And I love that you worry and it's okay to worry,"

Penny sighs "you should go, I don't want you to be late," she smiles and I return the gesture before leaning forward and kissing her. She hums against me and grabs my jacket in her hands.

As much as I didn't want to, I pulled away, "I'll be back soon," I promise her.

"Good, if your not I'll leave you at the alter," she teases and I roll my eyes. I give her a quick kiss again.

"I love you," I say pulling away and opening the front door.

"I love you too and be careful," she says holding onto the door.
