Kayte sat there telling me everything, she did love me, what she did was possibly the kindest thing she could've. She was his daughter being kept by who I knew as her mom and dad. When she found out Nate was my dad, she called it. She refused to help him continue the plan. I was supposed to kill the whole team, and she couldn't let me do it.
She saw me falling in love, she saw the chance I could get to be happy. So she offered to kidnap herself, since Monroe was pissed about her disobeying. She knew Elliot would blame himself and call in the team, and then the rest was on me.
She never knew Jaclyn was a hit, that devastated her. The photos weren't torture, it was a peace offering. The ID was the worst part, she had it in her purse for years hoping I'd find it. She'd found my birth mother years before I met Elliot. Her purse was stolen by that homeless woman when she got to town. Hardison confirmed it with street cameras.
No one was chasing me anymore, no one was chasing her. We were free, we were out. And my dad was bringing her to justice. The London office needed a grifter, and Kayte was perfect. Everything was okay, finally that chapter is closed.
That night, Elliot came home with me, and we all talked. Shawn and I realized we loved each other, but we weren't in love. He loved juliet and I loved Elliot. Me and juliet on the other hand? She was my person, even if there was still a tension. But you're never truly best friends unless there's rumors you're gay. She didn't trust Elliot, she was going to be harder on him than I was, but he seemed okay with that.
Elliot was going to work with me and Shawn until Sterling could facilitate a transfer to the SBPD. We were going straight, even at the dismay of my criminal family. I think Parker was taking it the best out of all of them.
I woke up this morning to find Elliot watching me, he's so scared still even if he won't admit it. I know I should've known something was wrong, and I'm starting to feel the guilt now.
"You okay? You look upset." Elliot brushed my hair from my face giving me a nervous smile.
"I'm sorry Elliot." I sat up kissing his hand, he just gave me a confused look.
"Why? Do you want me to leave? I can, I told you, this is on your terms." I just shook my head in response wrapping my arms around him.
"No, I'm sorry I didn't know something was wrong. I should've known, I thought you were just bored and sleeping around. I think that's almost worse." I kept my head buried in his chest unable to face him.
"You were running the entire team Carter, you had so much on your plate, then the pregnancy. I promise, I'm not upset with you." He lifted my chin gently kissing me.
"We're going to be okay aren't we?" I smiled looking at him, he kinda laughed before kissing me again.
"We are, it'll be the four of us against the world." Elliot put his hand on my belly smiling. "I can live with normal if it means I get to come home to my girls."
"This is proof of how much I love you, my back is killing me and I'm only like half way there. I blame you for it being two of them. You knew I'd only do this once so you had to get two." I pulled away laughing to myself as I tried to get out of our bed. Elliot just looked at me laughing to himself.
"I know, being a former only child you don't understand the importance of a partner in childhood crime. By the way, you talk in your sleep now." He looked at me with a strange expression making me nervous.
"What did I say? I don't remember any weird dreams." I mumbled looking at him internally panicking.
"You asked me to get you a smoothie at about four am, I asked if you were awake, you said I was, and I quote, a 'stupy head' and rolled back over." Elliot smirked doing air quotes.
