Ben had had a long day. The family of the man he and 19 was working to save reminded him a lot of Miranda and his family. It hurt him to watch everything that took place and all he wanted to do was make sure that he was going to be okay and return to his family. He couldn't watch another black man be torn from his family. Dean's death was still haunting him. He hadn't really taken the time to grieve properly with everything that has been going on.

After dropping the man off to Grey Solan and a quick visit to his wife, Ben prayed that they could save the man.

Back at the station it was time to wrap the donated toys for toys for tots. The guys were taking a break in the TV room. Then Maya and Carina announced that they would be trying for a baby.

Good for them Ben thought, but deep inside it hurt him to think about kids with everything going on with Pru. He missed her terribly, it hate so much. He had gotten so attached and she was the one piece of Dean he had left.

As they were finishing up congratulating Maya and Carina, in comes the love of his life and the little girl that stole his heart.

"Say Hello everyone!" Miranda said as she guided Pru into the kitchen. Laugher and awes erupted in the room.

"Okay, Do you kidnap this child?" Ben asked. "No." Miranda said looking at him with a pouty face "Ifeya let me take her, just for tonight." "I'll take it" Ben said as he picked Pru up and hugged her. 

"Oh, Terrance made it." Miranda informed everyone. Ben was so relieved and overwhelmed that he voned out. When he zoned back in he heard Miranda say "He family was in his room singing Christmas carols." That was enough for Ben, he couldn't hold it anymore.

He tried to keep it has unnoticeable as possible but he had been holding on for too long. He began to cry. Miranda noticed and took Pru out of his hands. 

Ben did his best to pull himself together. Miranda looked at him and they checked in with each other silently in their eyes. He reached out to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. 

She shook her head, letting him know she understood. He was just happy. He was content. 

He gave Pru a kiss on her forehead. This is what he wanted, it's what he needed. She would complete their little family. 

They all continued to wrap gifts and play with Pru as the night continued. 

Once it got late, Ben and Miranda went to feed Pru and then they got her ready to go back to the Miller's.

Their car ride home was filled with a comfortable and content silence.

"Miranda, I can not thank you enough for that." Ben said to Miranda as they walked in their house. 

"I figured I could help brighten your day." She said as she touched his face and looked in his eyes. 

She was searching to see if he was okay. "Are you okay? Are you feeling better?" she asked. 

"I am. Miranda I really am. Thanks to you." He said as he snaked his hands around the small of her back pulling her close. "You always know how to make me feel better." He continued and pecked her lips.

"Well, Benjamin Warren, I guess you're lucky" Miranda replied smirking.

"And why is that?" He asked rising his eyebrow.

"Because I'm all yours." she said kissing him softly.

"Hey where are the boys?" he asked.

"Wellll, Tuck is at Tucker's and Joey is staying at a friends house, why?" Miranda replied running her fingers along his hair as she spoke.
