AU includes the shows that I'm really 'invested in'. Some are less well-known than others, and I'm including my personal 'ships': BLINDSPOT'S Repata and Jeller; AOS' MackElena/Phillinda/Dousa. and Morse/Hunter (It's possible that I'll put Daisy with...
IVY SANDS AND HER MERCENARIES IN CHAINS...MADELINE BURKE IS FINALLY GONE, her organization in disarray and Dabbur Zann thwarted. The NYO is under new direction and the decimated group of CIRG Agents have their names cleared, and have been awarded ten million dollars each for the false charges against them. The LOSSES,
though, have been HEAVY: READE...BRIANNA...KEATON...WEISS...but they have their lives back, and no real desire to return to law enforcement.

He stayed hidden while the team collected farewells and good wishes for the future. There is a very lavish 'spread' catered by the NYO, in a space cleared for that purpose not far from Patterson's former lab.
"Hey-let's eat in that alcove in the lab-I'm gonna miss my lab, and we wanna see it one more time, right Rich?" Patterson says.
"Uhhh, yeah...yeah! Let's eat in the lab, with Afreen, one more time", Rich agrees.
After everyone has a plate and something to drink, the small group leave the breakroom, talking among themselves, so that they don't see him steer his wheelchair into the hallway, stand, and push the chair against the wall.

Tasha Zapata drops her bottle of water and plate of food, and dashes toward him (he notices that as she nears him, one of her hands automatically cradles her belly, just until they collide and embrace), kissing madly. Weller, Jane, Rich, and Patterson add their shouts and joy and surprise to the mix. They gather around him, their questions coming rapid fire and tumbling over one another. "I'll explain it all later" he promises to tearful inquiries about his whereabouts all of this time, how in the world he managed to escape the cave-in, etc.
The team allows them a moment in private, during which Tasha explains that they are pregnant and expecting a child in six months time. "I couldn't believe it, I just knew that I'd lost you, Baby. And I really don't care how or why, I have you back, and I'll take the win. Dios en el cielo, no lo puedo creer!"
"A baby". This is what he can barely get his mind around.
"That's what you get for tryn'a lock me down!" she guffaws.
