"A shocking scene unfolded at Woodlot Primary School in Austin Texas, three shooters tore through the school for nearly half an hour before being successfully apprehended. It was also an emotional half an hour for the first responders attending to the scene, like many other families they were worried for there own children's safety. Paramedic TK Strand-Reyes of EMS 126 and Officer Carlos Reyes of Austin PD had to anxiously wait for the news of there two daughters and we caught it all on camera," the news reporter spoke with monotone confidence adding slight emotion in talking about the children.

That classic male voice transcribed was rolling out on screen, "A touching moment when dads and daughters reunited after a school shooter," "Thankfully not a hostage situation, the third shooter is corner in-," Harper and Louise came running screaming over, "Papa!" They yelled as Carlos sighed a breath of relief before kneeling down to hug his girls, "Oh my god, are you both okay?" They cut to when TK runs over as well as the family reunite on the school car park floor. "Officer Reyes took his lunch break early so he could return with his family to the safety of his husband's firehouse where his father in law the captain of the 126 snapped this adorable photo," the screen flashed with the very one Owen took in his office, "A perfect family photo shattered with the memory of the troubles of the day."

TK and Carlos look at each other in a shocked disbelief, they were just on CBS News, the girls had missed it having finally got them to bed. "Is this a bad idea?" TK asked settling on Carlos's chest, "What is?" "Bringing a baby into this world," "I was thinking about the same thing," "Well we have to follow through, this is our baby," "Our baby I like that, though emotionally and in every way but DNA the girls our ours but it will never change the fact that Louise is biologically mine and Harper is biologically yours," "This baby is ours from day one, no crazy exes," "No hoping they get along because we want to blend our families."
