Meanwhile

*5 missed calls* from Robert
*1 voicemail from Robert*
*3 missed calls from Vic*
*1 voicemail from Vic*

"Hey Andy Robert called me, he told me you left.
So I'm guessing you didn't talk to him. At least let him explain call me when you can." -Vic

"Andy I know you saw the picture and I swear I'll explain everything when you're home can you come home? Or at least you can pick up the phone.Please don't be a kid about this .We need to talk about this in person. Call me when you get this, I love you." - Robert

Andy was in the car driving. She knew where she was going, and she wasn't gonna stop till she got there. The only place she can get answers. The only place where she can find the closure she needs. She hasn't checked her phone. She had it on do not disturb. She needed a break from everything. She needed a minute to comprehend the truth. What was going on, how was she going to handle the truth. Or come to the conclusion that Robert has a kid, that he's been lying to her this whole time. She got out the car, and walked in a cabin. "Hey Dad." She said as she picked up a picture of her and her dad.

At the Station
"Hi, you reached Andy Hererea please leave a message after the beep." "Damnit Andy." "It's been 3 hours since she left the house, no word, she just, disappeared. I just want her to come back so we can talk. She deserves to know the truth. What really happened that day. And I promise to tell her everything, the second she comes back." "Robert just calm down. I have a buddy on the force, I know we can't really declare her as missing. But maybe he can track her license plate to find her." Ben says. "No, she needs time. She was scared she ran away for a reason. Give her time, she'll come back and you guys will be able to work it out." Maya said. "But what if she doesn't." Robert says. "She will. Travis said. "She left her wallet." 

Back at the Cabin
"You have to talk to him mija." Ghost Pruitt said. "I know, I just don't want to deal with the truth, why would he hide this from me?" "Maybe it was to stressful on him, he didn't have to hide it. It could be two painful for him." "But Dad, we're married if he'd hide something like this, what else would he hide?" "Andrea, you guys got married awfully fast, there's no telling what you don't know about him, just like he don't know much about you. You need to just trust in time you'll know all you need to know." Andy got up grabbed her keys got in the car and drove.

At the station

"So did you find your wife, or did you guys separate again?" "Not now Gibson." Robert got up walked towards the exist. "You know it's funny, the second something doesn't go her way, Andy just dips, happens a lot. Like when I proposed, when she didn't become captain, or when she found out you had a kid." Robert got up turned around, grabbed Gibson by his collar and said, "You need to stop talking about my wife, right now." "Ex-wife." Robert drops Jack, laughs and says, "you know what Gibson you're not worth it, you're just not." Robert walks out the gym room into his room. "What the hell Jack!" Maya said "What's the matter with you?" "The problem is Andy chose wrong, you chose wrong, Inara, chose wrong! Everyone's choosing wrong!" Jack kicks the weight thing and slams the door.

Back with Andy
Andy gets out the car and walks inside. "Hello, Andrea." Her mom says. "Don't call me that, only Papi calls me that." Andy sits across from her and the mom grabs cups and sits them down. "So, not that I was mad you called but why did you?" Andy's mom said. "I needed closure, how am I supposed to move on and be a good mother myself if I can't talk to my own." "Are you- are you pregnant?" "No, just for future reference." "Okay well, what do you want to know?" Andy was about to ask something when a little boy peeped out and said, "Mami, who's that?" Andy was startled. "Oh I get it, you wanted a kid, you just didn't want me.You were depressed with me but you're not with him. Or are you gonna get up and fake your death with him too!" Andy's mom Starts to stutter and but Andy cuts her off saying, "No, I should'nt have come." And storms out.

Back at the Roberts House
Robert was sitting on the couch stressed out, with coffee in his hand. Andy walks in and starts to apologize, "I'm sorry I ran off, I know it was immature, I just needed to-" Robert interrupts her with a hug and says, "I love you, and I'm happy to Any questions you have." So they walk over to the couch and Andy says, "who's the girl in the picture?" "I have a friend in the army, her names Christina Ross. She was Claire's (Roberts old wife) Ripley. They grew up together, like sisters. She had a baby girl, Emma Ross. Christina was kidnapped in the army, assumed dead. She made Claire and I her Godparents. Claire took a pregnancy test, the day of the incident, It was negative. When Claire died, Christina's Parents thought it be to hard on me, so they took her away." "Wow, Robert I'm sorry, if I made it feel like you were pressured to tell me. I had no idea." "No it's okay Andy, I was going to tell you eventually." "She looks 6 in the picture so shouldn't she be like 21 now?" "I don't know, I've tried to look for her, but I never could find her." "Well when you're ready we'll do it together." Andy grabs Roberts hand and interlocks hers and they lay down on the couch.
