Their Love Story is TIMELESS..perhaps best described by Sade's classic
No Ordinary Love...mostly AU though at times the chapter(s) closely
follow the show's script
Edgar Reade returned from the dead, so to speak (after Red Reddington rescued him, through various contacts of his). He reunites with Tasha Zapata and his infant daughter, Isabel.
With Reade out of commission for an unknown amount of time, Weller is acting Assistant Director. FBI Director Matthew Weitz 'okays' all resources needed to determine the leak to Madeline Burke (re the blowing up of the Team's Iceland hide out

"You came back to me," she whispered. "I don't...I really don't know how I would have gone on without you. You coming
back to us is a miracle-in a way I knew that you would."
Reade continued slumbering in his induced coma state. A large scar bisects his left eyebrow and she couldn't be consoled when Reddington's physicians advised her that he'd been in traction for several months due to broken hips, legs, and left shoulder.
"Your baby...she's so much like you, Reade. She's so beautiful: a perfect blend of us-and sometimes it's hard to look at her because I see her in you. She's bossy like me, and even at her age, she's so helpful and caring. When I cry she puts each of her little hands on the sides of my face and...ella me consuela (she comforts me). Aparte es muy chiflada: tendremos que echarla de nuestra cama la pobrecita ! (Also she's spoiled: we'll have to kick her out of our bed poor baby!).
"I never should have left you," Tasha sobbed. "I know that you said to but I should have disobeyed. And I know that if I had Izzy would also have died, but the three of us would have been together. I'll be here every day, and your baby has a little fever but I'll bring her soon. She looks like both of us, really-those serious eyebrows of yours, and your nose...she's mocha-colored, with long curly hair-more liso (wavy) like mine. She's SO FUNNY, Reade, and NOSY! She's crawling already...a nurse entered then and announced that Reade is to be slowly brought out of his medically-induced coma.
Outside at the nurse's station the ICU nurse says "I'm Micki, by the way-I should have introduced myself earlier."
"It's fine," Zapata says, blotting her tears. "Natasha: Tasha to my friends." They exchange 'mucho gusto ' (nice to meet you).
"I've wanted to ask you...why do you call your man 'Reade' instead of Edgar or Eddie?"
Tasha laughs. "All of the people in our friendship circle do. We were in law enforcement, and it's common to address colleagues using their surnames. It just stuck."
"Got it. He should be back with us by Friday morning-three days-at most. "I overheard your friends: the Wellers, talking about what Ed did in that cave-in: saving you and...and we're so happy and pleased that he survived and has found his way back to you...we all consider it such an honor to care for him. I know Ed-READE-from before: he and my fiance played ball together at Michigan-Trey was a running back-" (both pause for the obligatory 'GO BLUE'! and Micki continues): "I was at the University of Texas at the time and we hung out as much as we could. I could see even then how much Trey loved him, and I love him too. You have a special, special man in there, Tasha."
